Members of the Omp85 superfamily of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) found in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts are characterized by a distinctive 16-stranded β-barrel transmembrane domain and at least one periplasmic POTRA domain. All previously studied Omp85 proteins promote c...
KRAS mutations are prevalent in lung cancer, but KRAS G12C inhibitors exhibit limited efficacy, partly due to metabolic adaptations, such as enhanced glutathione metabolism and increased glycolysis. Glutathione S-Transferase Zeta 1 (GSTZ1) is a metabolic enzyme that regulates cell metabolism. How...
Activating PIK3CA mutations, present in up to 40% of hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (Her2-) breast cancer (BC) patients, can be effectively targeted with the alpha isoform-specific PI3K inhibitor Alpelisib. This treatment significantly improves ...
BACKGROUND: Protein undernutrition is prevalent mainly among elderly people, and it could develop diseases such as sarcopenia. Urinary metabolites may become biomarkers reflecting protein undernutrition, but this has been insufficiently investigated.
OBJECTIVE:
Pathological cardiac remodeling in response to sustained pressure overload is a pivotal process in the progression of heart failure (HF), yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood, limiting therapeutic development. Here, we identify serine/threonine kinase 39 (STK39) ...
