    Abstract Solute carrier (SLC) membrane transporters remain a largely unexploited target class, despite their central roles in cell identity and metabolism. This gap is reflected in the lack of high-quality chemical ligands or probes and in the small number of compounds that have progressed toward clinical development. In this review, we discuss recent advancements in SLC ligand discovery as well as new candidates that have been added to the investigational toolkit, with a particular focus on first-in-class ligands and the cognate discovery strategies. The availability of new probes expands the opportunity to elucidate the functions of SLCs and their relevance in physiology and explores any future potential of SLC druggability.

    Abstract Background: Excess weight is a rising concern in patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). It is commonly observed in children and adolescents with PKU; but data on adults are inconsistent. This review aims to summarize available data on excess weight in adult PKU individuals.
    Methods: We conducted a systematic search of literature in English, from inception to October 2021, on PubMed and Embase to identify articles on overweight and obesity in adult PKU patients. Prevalence of overweight and obesity, body mass index (BMI) and gender differences were the outcomes of interest.
    Results: Of 260 articles identified, only 8 fulfilled quality criteria for inclusion after screening of titles, abstracts and full texts. The mean BMI of adult PKU patients in these studies ranged from 26 ± 5.4 to 30.3 ± 1.8 kg/m
    Conclusions: Excess weight is frequent in adult PKU patients, especially in females, even if the difference with the general population is debatable. The heterogeneity of the studies makes it difficult to interpret the results and the factors that contribute to obesity. Content of the diet, psychological status, diet-associated disordered eating, patient's social environment and lifestyle are listed as potentials contributors to excess weight in PKU adult population. Further studies are needed to better elucidate this question. In the meantime, weight control and healthy eating habits should be considered in the management and follow-up of these patients.

    Abstract This review aims to serve as an introduction to the solute carrier proteins (SLC) superfamily of transporter proteins and their roles in human cells. The SLC superfamily currently includes 458 transport proteins in 65 families that carry a wide variety of substances across cellular membranes. While members of this superfamily are found throughout cellular organelles, this review focuses on transporters expressed at the plasma membrane. At the cell surface, SLC proteins may be viewed as gatekeepers of the cellular milieu, dynamically responding to different metabolic states. With altered metabolism being one of the hallmarks of cancer, we also briefly review the roles that surface SLC proteins play in the development and progression of cancer through their influence on regulating metabolism and environmental conditions.

    Abstract Phagocytosis, the process by which cells engulf large particles, plays a vital role in driving tissue clearance and host defense. Its dysregulation is connected to autoimmunity, toxic accumulation of proteins, and increased risks for infections. Despite its importance, we lack full understanding of all molecular components involved in the process. To create a functional map in human cells, we performed a genome-wide CRISPRko FACS screen that identified 716 genes. Mapping those hits to a comprehensive protein-protein interaction network annotated for functional cellular processes allowed retrieval of protein complexes identified multiple times and detection of missing phagocytosis regulators. In addition to known components, such as the Arp2/3 complex, the vacuolar-ATPase-Rag machinery, and the Wave-2 complex, we identified and validated new phagocytosis-relevant functions, including the oligosaccharyltransferase complex (MAGT1/SLC58A1, DDOST, STT3B, and RPN2) and the hypusine pathway (eIF5A, DHPS, and DOHH). Overall, our phagocytosis network comprises elements of cargo uptake, shuffling, and biotransformation through the cell, providing a resource for the identification of potential novel drivers for diseases of the endo-lysosomal system. Our approach of integrating protein-protein interaction offers a broadly applicable way to functionally interpret genome-wide screens.

    Abstract Background: Biotinidase deficiency (BD) is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder that was first described in 1982. Forty years after its first description, we compiled available clinical data on BD with the aim of generating a more comprehensive picture of this condition.
    Methods: A systematic search strategy was performed in relevant databases without limits for publication date or languages. We screened 3966 records and included 144 articles reporting individuals with BD and their clinical presentation as well as the outcomes, when available.
    Results: This study included 1113 individuals with BD. More than half (51.5%) of these individuals were diagnosed by newborn screening, 43.3% in presence of clinical symptoms and 5.2% due to family screening. We grouped symptomatic individuals into four main clinical presentations: neonatal-onset (<1 month; 7.9%), early childhood-onset (<2 years; 59.2%), juvenile-onset (2-16 years; 25.1%) and adult-onset (>16 years; 7.7%). BD affected five main organ systems: nervous system (67.2%), skin (53.7%), eye (34.4%), auditory (26.9%) and respiratory system (17.8%). Involvement was mainly multisystemic (82.2%) of individuals, whereas isolated system presentation was seen in only 17.2% of individuals. When reported, metabolic acidosis was present in 42.4% of symptomatic individuals and characteristic abnormal organic acid metabolites were found in 57.1%. Biotin treatment led to clinical stability or improvement in 89.2% of individuals. 1.6% of reported individuals with BD died due to non-availability of treatment or late diagnosis.
    Conclusion: Newborn screening has had a major positive impact on the outcome of many individuals with BD. However, undiagnosed and non-treated BD remains a health concern. Given the risk of mortality or complications associated with late or missed diagnosis if newborn screening is not available, a trial of biotin should be considered in undiagnosed infants and adults exhibiting suspected clinical signs. Enzymatic activity and/or analysis of genetic variants can readily confirm the diagnosis of BD.
