    Abstract The iron-based superconductors had a significant impact on condensed matter physics. They have a common structural motif of a two-dimensional square iron lattice and exhibit fruitful physical properties as a strongly correlated electron system. During the extensive investigations, quasi-one-dimensional iron-based spin-ladder compounds attracted much attention as a platform for studying the interplay between magnetic and orbital ordering. In these compounds, BaFe

    Abstract High-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality has been reported to be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, little is known about the impact of HDL functionality on coronary atherosclerosis. Thirty-eight type 2 diabetic patients with CAD who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention were examined. Coronary atheroma burden and plaque composition of the culprit lesions were assessed using conventional gray-scale and integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound. HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity (HDL-CEC) and HDL antioxidant capacity, estimated as HDL inflammatory index (HII), were examined. The associations between HDL functionality and coronary plaques were analyzed using multivariate data analysis, including principal components analysis and orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) models. Percent atheroma volume was correlated with HDL-CEC (r = 0.34,

    Abstract Background/aim: The prognostic outcome of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent hepatectomy has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative CONUT score and other systemic inflammation-related biomarkers in patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM.
    Patients and methods: The subjects included 145 patients with CRLM who underwent hepatectomy and retrospectively investigated the association of preoperative CONUT score with disease-free survival (DFS), surgical failure-free survival (SFS), and overall survival (OS) using univariate and multivariate analyses.
    Results: In this study, the cut-off of the CONUT score was 4. In the univariate analysis, the high CONUT score was associated with worse SFS and OS (p=0.01, 0.01). The multivariate analysis showed significant and independent predictors of OS were lymph node metastases (p=0.03) and a high CONUT score (p=0.04). In patients with a high CONUT score, postoperative complications due to infections were significantly more than in those with a low CONUT score (27% vs. 9%, p=0.04).
    Conclusion: The CONUT score can be useful for predicting not only short-term but also long-term outcomes in patients with CRLM after hepatectomy.

    Abstract Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a carcinogenic virus that latently infects B cells and causes malignant tumors in immunocompromised patients. KSHV utilizes two viral E3 ubiquitin ligases, K3 and K5, in KSHV-infected cells to mediate the polyubiquitination-dependent down-regulation of several host membrane proteins involved in the immune system. Although K3 and K5 are members of the same family and have similar structural topologies, K3 and K5 have different substrate specificities. Hence, K5 may have a different substrate recognition mode than K3; however, the molecular basis of substrate recognition remains unclear. Here, we investigated the reason why human CD8α, which is known not to be a substrate for both K3 and K5, is not recognized by them, to obtain an understanding for molecular basis of substrate specificity. CD8α forms a disulfide-linked homodimer under experimental conditions to evaluate the viral ligase-mediated down-regulation. It is known that two interchain disulfide linkages in the stalk region between each CD8α monomer (Cys164-Cys164 and Cys181-Cys181) mediate homodimerization. When the interchain disulfide linkage of Cys181-Cys181 was eliminated, CD8α was down-regulated by K5 with a functional RING variant (RINGv) domain via polyubiquitination at the cytoplasmic tail. Aspartic acid, located at the stalk/transmembrane interface of CD8α, was essential for K5-mediated down-regulation of the CD8α mutant without a Cys181-Cys181 linkage. These results suggest that disulfide linkage near the stalk/transmembrane interface critically inhibits substrate targeting by K5. Accessibility to the extracellular juxtamembrane stalk region of membrane proteins may be important for substrate recognition by the viral ubiquitin ligase K5.

    Abstract The sesaminol triglucoside (STG)-hydrolyzing β-glucosidase from Paenibacillus sp. (PSTG1), which belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 3 (GH3), is a promising catalyst for the industrial production of sesaminol. We determined the X-ray crystal structure of PSTG1 with bound glycerol molecule in the putative active site. PSTG1 monomer contained typical three domains of GH3 with the active site in domain 1 (TIM barrel). In addition, PSTG1 contained an additional domain (domain 4) at the C-terminus that interacts with the active site of the other protomer as a lid in the dimer unit. Interestingly, the interface of domain 4 and the active site forms a hydrophobic cavity probably for recognizing the hydrophobic aglycone moiety of substrate. The short flexible loop region of TIM barrel was found to be approaching the interface of domain 4 and the active site. We found that n-heptyl-β-D-thioglucopyranoside detergent acts as an inhibitor for PSTG1. Thus, we propose that the recognition of hydrophobic aglycone moiety is important for PSTG1-catalyzed reactions. Domain 4 might be a potential target for elucidating the aglycone recognition mechanism of PSTG1 as well as for engineering PSTG1 to create a further excellent enzyme to degrade STG more efficiently to produce sesaminol.
