Abstract Cancer immunotherapy by targeting of immune checkpoint molecules has been a research ‘hot-spot’ in recent years. Nivolumab, human monoclonal antibody PD-1, widely used clinically since 2014. However, the binding mechanism nivolumab to PD-1 not yet shown, despite report describing complex structure pembrolizumab/PD-1. It previously speculated that glycosylation is involved recognition. Here we with and evaluate effects N-glycosylation on interactions nivolumab. Structural functional...

Significance This study indicates that a subpopulation of tumor cells expresses both PD-1 and PD-L1, which decreases the growth by suppressing canonical signaling pathways, i.e. AKT ERK1/2 pathways. In absence adaptive immune system, cell-intrinsic PD-1/PD-L1 mediates resistance to treatment with FDA-approved anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies activating ERK1/2. These findings provide an additional explanation for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract Aberrant N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has emerged as a driver of tumor initiation and progression, yet how long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) are involved in the regulation m6A remains unknown. Here we utilize data from 12 cancer types The Cancer Genome Atlas to comprehensively map lncRNAs that potentially deregulated by DNA methylation. A novel methylation–deregulated RNA reader–cooperating lncRNA (DMDRMR) facilitated growth metastasis clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC)....

Significance We here established the interaction between PDZ binding motif (PBM) at C terminal of ACE2 and domain sorting nexin 27 (SNX27) solved crystal structure ACE2-PBM/SNX27-PDZ complex. Together with retromer complex, SNX27 was found to regulate homeostasis cell surface under physiological conditions. When endocytic pathway used during SARS-CoV-2 infection, SNX27-retromer sorts ACE2/SARS-CoV-2 complex early endosome prevents it from entering lysosome/late endosome, inhibiting entry...

Monoclonal antibody based immune checkpoint blockade therapies have achieved clinical successes in management of malignant tumors. As the first monoclonal targeting molecules entered into clinics, molecular basis ipilimumab-based anti-CTLA-4 has not yet been fully understood. In present study, we report complex structure ipilimumab and CTLA-4. The showed similar contributions from VH VL binding to CTLA-4 front β-sheet strands. mechanism is that strands contributing B7-1 or B7-2 were occupied...

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 can infect many domestic animals, including dogs. Herein, we show that dog angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (dACE2) bind to the spike (S) protein receptor binding domain (RBD), and both pseudotyped authentic dACE2-expressing cells. We solved crystal structure of RBD in complex with dACE2 found total number contact residues, atoms, hydrogen bonds salt bridges at interface this are slightly fewer than those human ACE2 (hACE2). This result is consistent fact affinity lower...

Lysosome plays important roles in cellular homeostasis, and its dysregulation contributes to tumor growth survival. However, the understanding of regulation underlying mechanism lysosome cancer survival is incomplete. Here, we reveal a role for histone acetylation-regulated long noncoding RNA termed cell death regulator (LCDR) lung survival, which knockdown promotes apoptosis. Mechanistically, LCDR binds heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) regulate stability...

Immunometabolism in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and its influence on immunotherapy response remain uncertain colorectal cancer (CRC). We perform immunometabolism subtyping (IMS) CRC patients training validation cohorts. Three IMS subtypes of CRC, namely, C1, C2, C3, are identified with distinct immune phenotypes metabolic properties. The C3 subtype exhibits poorest prognosis both cohort in-house cohort. single-cell transcriptome reveals that a S100A9+ macrophage population contributes...

Currently, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) targeting the SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) of spike (S) protein are classified into seven classes based on their epitopes. However, most these seriously impaired by Omicron and its subvariants, especially recent BQ.1.1, XBB derivatives. Identification broadly neutralizing MAbs against currently circulating variants is imperative. In this study, we identified a “breathing” cryptic epitope in S protein, named as RBD-8. Two human MAbs, BIOLS56...
