Exploring novel HIV ‐1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors with drug‐resistant mutants: A double mutant surprise
AbstractHIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) remains a key target for HIV drug development. As successful management of the disease requires lifelong treatment, the emergence of resistance mutations is inevitable, making development of new RT inhibitors, which remain effective against resistant variants crucial. To this end, previous computationally guided drug design efforts have resulted in catechol diether compounds, which inhibit wildtype RT with picomolar affinities and appear to be promising preclinical candidates. To confirm that these compounds remain potent against Y181C, a widespread mutation conferring resistance to...

Site ‐specific photo‐crosslinking/cleavage for protein–protein interface identification reveals oligomeric assembly of lysosomal‐associated membrane protein type 2A in mammalian cells
AbstractGenetic code expansion enables site-specific photo-crosslinking by introducing photo-reactive non-canonical amino acids into proteins at defined positions during translation. This technology is widely used for analyzing protein –protein interactions and is applicable in mammalian cells. However, the identification of the crosslinked region still remains challenging. Here, we developed a new method to identify the crosslinked region by pre-installing a site-specific cleavage site, an α-hydroxy acid (Nε-allyloxycarbonyl- α-hydroxyl-l-lysine acid, AllocLys-OH), into the target protein. Alkaline treatment cleaves ...

The PB1 and the ZZ domain of the autophagy receptor p62/SQSTM1 regulate the interaction of p62/SQSTM1 with the autophagosome protein LC3B
In conclusion, our study highlights the regulated nature of p62/SQSTM1 and its ability to modulate the interaction with LC3B through a LIR-sequence Accessibility Mechanism (LAM). Furthermore, our findings suggest the potential for pharmacological modulation of the exposure of LIR, paving the way for future therapeutic strategies.This article is protected by copyright.

Cover Image
The cover image depicts reformulation of reverse micelles with naturally derived lipids from soybean, porcine brain, or bovine heart to develop more biologically accurate membrane models for use in high-resolution protein NMR. This model was designed for peripheral membrane proteins such as glutathione peroxidase 4 (GP ×4), as shown in the image, as well as FABP4 and PEBP1.
