Using drug descriptions and molecular structures for drug-drug interaction extraction from literature

Masaki Asada, Makoto Miwa, Yutaka Sasaki

Summary: This study introduces a new method for extracting drug-drug interactions (DDIs) from literature, utilizing external drug database information and large-scale plain text. The results demonstrate that integrating large-scale raw text information can greatly improve DDI extraction performance, while simultaneously using drug description and molecular structure information can significantly enhance performance across all DDI types. The effective combination of plain text, drug description, and molecular structure information is essential for improving DDI extraction.

DNA-encoded library versus RNA-encoded library selection enables design of an oncogenic noncoding RNA inhibitor

Raphael I. Benhamou, Blessy M. Suresh, Yuquan Tong, Wesley G. Cochran, Valerie Cavett, Simon Vezina-Dawod, Daniel Abegg, Jessica L. Childs-Disney, Alexander Adibekian, Brian M. Paegel, Matthew D. Disney

Summary: Nature evolves molecular interaction networks through persistent perturbation and selection, presenting a stark contrast to the current drug discovery process. By recapitulating nature's search paradigm in a screen of a DNA-encoded library against a library of RNA structures, high-affinity and selective ligand-RNA interactions can be identified and their cellular engagements predicted.

Organo-macrocycle-containing hierarchical metal-organic frameworks and cages: design, structures, and applications

Yu Liang, Errui Li, Kunyu Wang, Zong-Jie Guan, Hui-hui He, Liangliang Zhang, Hong-Cai Zhou, Feihe Huang, Yu Fang

Summary: Developing hierarchical ordered systems using organo-macrocycles as building blocks is an efficient method to obtain metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination cages (PCCs). These macrocycles, such as crown ethers, cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, not only enhance the properties and functionalities of the composites but also have a wide range of applications. This review summarizes the recent developments of organo-macrocycle-containing hierarchical MOFs/PCCs, focusing on the structure-property relationships and applications of these hierarchically porous materials. It provides insights for future research on hierarchical self-assembly and extends the applications of the composites.

Register-Shifted Structures in Base-Flipped Uracil-Damaged DNA

Paul B. Orndorff, Arjan van der Vaart

Summary: We have discovered register-shifted structures in simulations of uracil-containing dsDNA. These structures occur when a thymine is present at the 3' position adjacent to uracil in U:A base-paired DNA. The register-shifted structure persists, blocking the re-entry of uracil into the helix stack and potentially influencing DNA repair processes.

Parallel G-Quadruplex DNA Structures from Nuclear and Mitochondrial Genomes Trigger Emission Enhancement in a Nonfluorescent Nano-aggregated Fluorine-Boron-Based Dye

Marco Deiana, Karam Chand, Erik Chorell, Nasim Sabouri

Summary: This study reports the use of parallel DNA guanine quadruplexes (G4s) as supramolecular disaggregating-capture systems capable of activating the fluorescence signal of a zwitterionic fluorine-boron-based dye. The dye selectively disassembles its supramolecular state upon contact with parallel G4s due to its high binding affinity for them compared to nonparallel topologies. This results in a strong and selective disaggregation-induced emission that can be observed by the naked eye and inside cells, making it useful for various affinity-based applications in sensing and imaging systems.

Identification of permissive amber suppression sites for efficient non-canonical amino acid incorporation in mammalian cells

Michael D. Bartoschek, Enes Ugur, Tuan-Anh Nguyen, Geraldine Rodschinka, Michael Wierer, Kathrin Lang, Sebastian Bultmann

Summary: The genetic code of mammalian cells can be expanded by incorporating non-canonical amino acids through the suppression of in-frame amber stop codons. A linear regression model called iPASS was developed to predict the efficiency of non-canonical amino acid incorporation based on the surrounding sequence context. Nucleotides up- and downstream of the stop codon were found to synergistically influence the incorporation efficiency, and iPASS can guide the optimization of insertion rates.

Summary: The lipid phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P) acts as a regulator of endocytosis and autophagy, generated by two complexes containing the lipid kinase VPS34. Rab5 and Rab1a GTPases recruit and activate specific VPS34 complexes on membranes through unique binding interfaces, guiding them to distinct cellular locations. Insights into the recruitment and activation mechanisms of VPS34 complexes by specific Rab GTPases are provided through biochemical and structural analyses.

Substrate Profiling of Mitochondrial Caseinolytic Protease P via a Site-Specific Photocrosslinking Approach

Tuan-Anh Nguyen, Thomas F. Gronauer, Timon Nast-Kolb, Stephan A. Sieber, Kathrin Lang

Summary: We used genetic code expansion, photocrosslinking, and proteomics to identify substrates of mitochondrial human caseinolytic protease P (hClpP). Our approach allowed us to trap substrate proteins of hClpP and reveal its involvement in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. We also discovered new proteins in the hClpP interactome and found that hClpP counteracts oxidative stress by processing proteins related to respiratory chain complex synthesis and maturation.

A comprehensive set of ER protein disulfide isomerase family members supports the biogenesis of proinflammatory interleukin 12 family cytokines

Yonatan G. Mideksa, Isabel Aschenbrenner, Anja Fux, Dinah Kaylani, Caroline A. M. Weiss, Tuan-Anh Nguyen, Nina C. Bach, Kathrin Lang, Stephan A. Sieber, Matthias J. Feige

Summary: This study investigates the molecular chaperones involved in the biogenesis of cytokines in the interleukin 12 (IL-12) family. The authors found that multiple endoplasmic reticulum chaperones interact with IL-12 alpha and IL-23 alpha subunits, and members of the protein disulfide isomerase family play a role in regulating the assembly of IL-12 family subunits. Furthermore, they discovered that specific endoplasmic reticulum chaperones can modulate cytokine secretion.
