    Abstract The [GADV]-protein, consisting only of glycine (G), alanine (A), aspartic acid (D), and valine (V), is frequently studied as a candidate for a primitive protein that existed at the beginning of life on Earth. The number of proteogenic amino acids increased during evolution, and glutamic acid may have been added as the fifth amino acid. In this study, we used molecular dynamics simulations to estimate the conformation of random peptides when glutamate is added to G, A, D, and V ([GADVE]), when leucine is added ([GADVL]), and when the frequency of alanine is doubled ([GADVA]). The results showed that the secondary structure contents of the [GADVE]-peptide and [GADVL]-peptide were higher than that of the [GADVA]-peptide. Although the [GADVL]-peptide had a higher secondary structure formation ability than the [GADVE]-peptide, it was less water soluble, suggesting that it may not be a primitive protein. The [GA(D/E)V]-peptide with G:A:D:V:E = 2:2:1:2:1 according to the occurrence ratio in the codon table also increased the secondary structure contents compared to the [GADV]-peptide, indicating that the addition of glutamic acid increased the structure formation ability of the primitive protein candidates.

    Abstract Endochondral ossification is a critical event in bone formation, particularly in long shaft bones. Many cellular differentiation processes work in concert to facilitate the generation of cartilage primordium to formation of trabecular structures, all of which occur within the growth plate. Previous studies have revealed that the growth plate is tightly regulated by various transcription factors, epigenetic systems, and microRNAs. Hence, understanding these mechanisms that regulate the growth plate is crucial to furthering the current understanding on skeletal diseases, and in formulating effective treatment strategies. In this review, we focus on describing the function and mechanisms of the transcription factors, epigenetic systems, and microRNAs known to regulate the growth plate.

    Abstract Conditional knockout mice are valuable tools for examining the functions of targeted genes in a time- and space-specific manner. Here, we generated gene-edited mice by using the Tol2 transposon to introduce guide RNA (gRNA) into fertilized eggs obtained by crossing LSL (loxP-stop-loxP)-CRISPR-associated 9 (Cas9) mice, which express Cas9 in a Cre-dependent manner, with CAG-CreER mice. Transposase mRNA and plasmid DNA, which contained a gRNA sequence for the gene encoding tyrosinase flanked by the transposase recognition sequence, were injected together into fertilized eggs. As a result, the transcribed gRNA cleaved the target genome in a Cas9-dependent manner. Using this method, it is possible to generate conditional genome-edited mice more easily in a shorter period of time.

    Abstract In human genome, there are approximately 1,500 RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). They can regulate mRNA stability or translational efficiency via ribosomes and these processes are known as 'post-transcriptional regulation'. Accumulating evidences indicate that post-transcriptional regulation is the determinant of the accurate levels of cytokines mRNAs. While transcriptional regulation of cytokines mRNAs has been well studied and found to be important for the rapid induction of mRNA and regulation of the acute phase of inflammation, post-transcriptional regulation by RBPs is essential for resolving inflammation in the later phase, and their dysfunction may lead to severe autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. For post-transcriptional regulation, RBPs recognize and directly bind to cis-regulatory elements in 3' untranslated region of mRNAs such as AU-rich or constitutive decay elements and play various roles. In this review, we summarize the recent findings regarding the role of RBPs in the regulation of inflammation.

    Abstract Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a co-inhibitory molecule expressed on tumor cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors focusing on the PD-L1 mechanism are now being studied for the treatment of various cancer types. However, the regulatory mechanism of PD-L1 is yet to be fully clarified, and a high-throughput system for comparing the abilities of small compounds in regulating PD-L1 has not yet been established. Therefore, we created a HiBiT-tagged lung adenocarcinoma cell line, PC9-KI, for easier and faster detection of changes in PD-L1 protein expression. Using PC9-KI cells, we screened 1280 chemical compounds from the Library of Pharmacologically Active Compounds and identified microtubule polymerization inhibitors and thapsigargin as PD-L1 upregulators and a p97 inhibitor as a PD-L1 downregulator.
