SARS-CoV-2 NSP14 MTase activity is critical for inducing canonical NF- κB activation
Biosci Rep. 2023 Dec 22:BSR20231418. doi: 10.1042/BSR20231418. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUpon SARS-CoV-2 infection, patients with severe forms of COVID-19 often suffer from a dysregulated immune response and hyperinflammation. Aberrant expression of cytokines and chemokines is associated with strong activation of the immunoregulatory transcription factor NF-κB, which can be directly induced by the SARS-CoV-2 protein NSP14. Here, we use NSP14 mutants and generated cells with host factor knockouts (KO) in the NF-κB signaling pathways to characterize the molecular mechanism of NSP14-induced NF-κB activation. We demonst...

Biological ammonium transporters from the Amt/Mep/Rh superfamily: mechanism, energetics, and technical limitations
Biosci Rep. 2023 Dec 22:BSR20211209. doi: 10.1042/BSR20211209. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe exchange of ammonium across cellular membranes is a fundamental process in all domains of life and is facilitated by the ubiquitous Amt/Mep/Rh transporter superfamily. Remarkably, despite a high structural conservation in all domains of life, these proteins have gained various biological functions during evolution. It is tempting to hypothesise that the physiological functions gained by these proteins may be explained at least in part by differences in the energetics of their translocation mechanisms. Therefore, in this review,...

Metabolic hormones are integral regulators of female reproductive health and function
Biosci Rep. 2023 Dec 22:BSR20231916. doi: 10.1042/BSR20231916. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe female reproductive system is strongly influenced by nutrition and energy balance. It is well known that food restriction or energy depletion can induce suppression of reproductive processes, while overnutrition is associated with reproductive dysfunction. However, the intricate mechanisms through which nutritional inputs and metabolic health are integrated into the coordination of reproduction are still being defined. In this review, we describe evidence for essential contributions by hormones that are responsive to food intak...

Biological and mutational analyses of CXCR4-antagonist interactions and design of new antagonistic analogs
Biosci Rep. 2023 Dec 22;43(12):BSR20230981. doi: 10.1042/BSR20230981.ABSTRACTThe chemokine receptor CXCR4 has become an attractive therapeutic target for HIV-1 infection, hematopoietic stem cell mobilization, and cancer metastasis. A wide variety of synthetic antagonists of CXCR4 have been developed and studied for a growing list of clinical applications. To compare the biological effects of different antagonists on CXCR4 functions and their common and/or distinctive molecular interactions with the receptor, we conducted head-to-head comparative cell-based biological and mutational analyses of the interactions with CXCR4 o...
