The highly sensitive technique tolerates complex matrices and, by powerful chromatography, resolves in a single run multiple non-enantiomeric myo-inositol tetrakisphosphates, myo-inositol pentakisphosphates and all inositol hexakisphosphates, including myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate (phytate), known in nature. It also separates and quantifies diphospho myo-inositol pentakisphosphate (PP-InsP5) isomers from their biological precursors and from 1,5-bis-diphospho myo-inositol 2,3,4,6 tetrakisphosphate (1,5-[PP]2-InsP4).

Some of them are amongst the shortest-lived membrane proteins (CTLA-4), whilst others can be very stable (PD-L1). We highlight the ubiquitin system, which is key to determining their turnover, as it plays a key role in disposing of misfolded newly synthesised proteins via the ERAD pathway and generating a key signal for endosomal sorting towards lysosomes. In some cases, ubiquitylation can modulate the signalling function of the immune checkpoint receptor, as seen for LAG-3. Immune checkpoint proteins can evade lysosomal degradation by effective recycling to the plasma membrane using highly specialised factors, including CMTM6 (for PD-L1) and LRBA (for CTLA-4).

Those transcripts are strictly regulated through transcription and degradation mechanisms to maintain proper cellular homeostasis and prevent aberrant expression. It has been revealed that ncRNAs can play roles in various regulatory processes, particularly in transcriptional regulation. While short ncRNAs are well characterised, the function of lncRNAs remains poorly understood. Both functional and transcriptional profiling have been applied to fill the gap in the lncRNA functions landscape. It has been proven by functional profiling that these long transcripts can serve important cellular roles in gene regulation, RNA metabolism, sexual differentiation and telomeric overhang homeostasis. In addition, transcriptional profiling allowed the characterisation of ncRNAs involved in the cell cycle, colony subpopulation dynamics, virulence and regulatory networks.

Fundamental to the establishment of these domains is the adequate histone supply that is tightly regulated from the moment histones are transcribed, synthesized, and recycled, to when they are degraded. In this review, we describe and emphasize each step of the histone supply chain and its impact on chromatin structure and cellular identity. Given the robust studies on histones H3 and H4 supply, we primarily discuss these nucleosome components and their variants while briefly touching on H2A and H2B dynamics. We also highlight central proteins that supervise these processes and relay key studies that explore the consequences and clinical impact of limiting or altering the histone supply chain.

Many structural and pharmacological studies rely on disrupted membrane conditions, such as purified receptors in artificial systems or radioligand binding assays using membrane fragments, even though it had not been systematically studied whether membrane integrity affects GPCR function. To address this, we developed Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based GPCR conformation sensors to directly measure receptor activation in both intact and disrupted membranes. Our results show that while some GPCRs remain unaffected, prostanoid receptor conformation sensors exhibit a strong dependence on membrane integrity: their agonist and antagonist potencies decrease up to 30-fold upon membrane disruption, revealing a crucial role of the membrane integrity in ligand-receptor affinity. Validation with wild-type receptors in functional signaling assays confirmed that these effects reflect genuine receptor characteristics rather than unspecific signals from the sensor design. We ruled out several factors that could explain the loss of affinity, but were unable to fully elucidate the mechanism behind this phenomenon. Nevertheless, this effect may introduce bias into structural and pharmacological studies. It is therefore essential to account for membrane integrity and to employ optimized experimental strategies to ensure robust and reliable data interpretation.","PeriodicalId":8825,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These precise conformational checkpoints combined with programmable activation specified by RNA guides have driven the success of CRISPR-Cas tools in biotechnology, medicine and beyond. To illustrate the importance of conformation in controlling CRISPR-Cas activity, we review the discrete conformational checkpoints at play in class 2 CRISPR-Cas systems. Using Cas9, Cas12a and Cas13a as examples, we describe how protein and nucleic acid conformations precisely control the loading of guide RNA, the selection of target nucleic acids and the activation of nuclease domains.

Here, we demonstrate that inhibitory nucleotides bind directly to an allosteric site at the interface between the PLC-core and regulatory-array unique for PLCγ, underlying their specificity for the PLCγ family. This binding site overlaps with the PLCγ autoinhibitory interface, suggesting that the inhibitory impact of nucleotides involves stabilization of autoinhibition. We have also analysed disease-linked variants of PLCγ1 and PLCγ2 to show that multiple mechanisms could underpin their gain-of-function phenotype. While sensitivity of these variants to physiological nucleotide inhibition is reduced, we identified artificial nucleotide compounds that can inhibit such variants not only in vitro but also in cell-based assays.

KirBac1.1, a well-characterized prokaryotic homolog of Kir channels, is known to undergo anionic lipid-dependent gating. Although the slide helix is an important structural component in the gating mechanism of KirBac1.1, its structural dynamics associated with the anionic lipid-driven activation is not well-understood. Here, we have reconstituted KirBac1.1 in zwitterionic POPC and anionic POPC/POPG membranes to stabilize the inactive and active conformations of the channel, respectively. Our liposome K+ flux assay results show that all the slide helix single-cysteine mutants display PG-driven gating, and increasing the PG from 25 to 40 mol% does not have any linear dependency on both the activation and K+ flux rates. Site-directed NBD fluorescence results suggest that the structural dynamics of the slide helix is significantly altered upon PG-induced activation. For instance, we observe significant changes in hydration dynamics and rotational mobility of slide helix residues between functional states. MEM-based lifetime distribution analysis suggests that the conformational heterogeneity of the slide helix is functional-state dependent. Importantly, membrane penetration depth measurements reveal that the slide helix in the active KirBac1.1 is located ~3 Å deeper within the membrane interface, well supported by increased fluorescence lifetimes. Notably, the non-linear relationship between structural dynamics and PG content highlights the critical role of lipid-protein interactions and membrane surface charge in PG-mediated KirBac1.1 activation. These findings provide valuable insights into Kir channel gating mechanisms, and lipid-dependent gating of other channels.","PeriodicalId":8825,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145083617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
