Here, we elucidate the structure and function of Retron-Eco2, which comprises a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) that encodes multicopy single-stranded DNA (msDNA, a DNA‒RNA hybrid) and a fusion protein containing a reverse transcriptase (RT) domain and a topoisomerase-primase-like (Toprim) effector domain. The Eco2 msDNA and RT-Toprim fusion protein form a 1:1 stoichiometric nucleoprotein complex that further assembles into a trimer (msDNA:RT-Toprim ratio of 3:3) with a distinctive triangular configuration. The RNA portion of the msDNA in one protomer closely intertwines around the RT domain of an adjacent protomer, mediating the formation of this self-inhibitory assembly. Upon activation, the Toprim effector domain exhibits RNase activity, degrading RNA to arrest phage replication. We further reveal that phage mutants evading Eco2-mediated defense harbor mutations in the endonuclease IV-like protein DenB, underscoring DenB's critical role in triggering the activation of this system. Together, these findings provide key structural and functional insights into Retron-Eco2, laying the groundwork for harnessing its potential in biotechnology and synthetic biology applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":9674,"journal":{"name":"Cell Discovery","volume":"11 1","pages":"73"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12405507/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144944266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we showed that phosphorylation of the Mediator subunit MED15 at T603 is able to control the SASP and aging. Transforming growth factor-β selectively induces CDK1-mediated MED15 T603 phosphorylation to control SASP gene expression. The MED15 T603 dephosphorylated mutant (T603A) inhibits the SASP and cell senescence, whereas the T603 phosphorylation-mimicking mutant (T603D) has the opposite effect. Mechanistically, forkhead box protein A1 preferentially binds to unphosphorylated but not phosphorylated MED15 at T603 to suppress SASP gene expression. Notably, aging mice harboring dephosphorylated mutation in this phosphosite exhibit improved learning and memory through the attenuation of the SASP across tissues.

Inhibition of CCL8 or its receptor on neutrophils, CCR1, impairs NETosis and metastasis. In addition, we identified a KC membrane protein MUC1 that binds to DMBT1 and subsequently activates NF-κB signaling in KCs, leading to CCL8 and CD62L expression. KCs with MUC1 inhibition effectively suppress liver metastasis. Furthermore, a DMBT1 neutralizing antibody was developed with the promise to inhibit tumor-KC interaction and treat metastatic cancer.

Although the treatment-induced dormancy-to-reactivation switch is an important process in tumour spread and recurrence, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms, particularly the metabolic underpinnings. In this study, we demonstrated that the tryptophan catabolism-related tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) -kynurenine (Kyn) -aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signalling axis was responsible for both sustaining the survival of dormant prostate cancer cells induced by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and promoting the reactivation of dormant cells and their recurrent outgrowth, which facilitated the development of therapeutic resistance by allowing the dormancy-to-reactivation switch. Mechanistically, we found that ADT upregulated the expression of TDO2 to produce Kyn, which activated AhR and maintained the survival of ADT-induced dormant cells. Interestingly, the switch of transcription factors from the androgen receptor (AR) to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) modulated the persistent expression of TDO2 and promoted the reactivation of dormant cells through the same TDO2-Kyn-AhR signalling axis. Additionally, tumour recurrence following ADT was delayed by pharmacological suppression of TDO2-Kyn-AhR signalling with a TDO2 inhibitor or an AhR inhibitor. In summary, we describe a signalling circuit mediated by tryptophan metabolism for regulating tumour cell dormancy and recurrence and propose TDO2 as a new target for the treatment of androgen-sensitive prostate cancer patients in combination with ADT.</p>","PeriodicalId":9674,"journal":{"name":"Cell Discovery","volume":"11 1","pages":"67"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12322048/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144783602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
