    Abstract Background: Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are developmental cancers, tightly linked to embryogenesis and germ cell development. The recent and expanding field of RNA modifications is being increasingly implicated in such molecular events, as well as in tumor progression and resistance to therapy, but still rarely explored in GCTs. In this work, and as a follow-up of our recent study on this topic in TGCT tissue samples, we aim to investigate the role of N6-methyladenosine (m
    Methods: Four cell lines representative of GCTs (three testicular and one mediastinal), including an isogenic cisplatin resistant subline, were used. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockdown of VIRMA was established and the chorioallantoic membrane assay was used to study its phenotypic effect in vivo.
    Results: We demonstrated the differential expression of the various m
    Conclusions: VIRMA has an oncogenic role in GCTs confirming our previous tissue-based study and is further involved in response to cisplatin by interfering with DNA repair. These data contribute to our better understanding of the emergence of cisplatin resistance in GCTs and support recent attempts to therapeutically target elements of the m

    Abstract Synaptic plasticity processes, which underlie learning and memory formation, require RNA to be translated local to synapses. The synaptic tagging hypothesis has previously been proposed to explain how mRNAs are available at specific activated synapses. However how RNA is regulated, and which transcripts are silenced or processed as part of the tagging process is still unknown. Modification of RNA by N6-methyladenosine (m

    Abstract To date, several exoplanets have been found to orbit within the habitable zone of main sequence M stars (M dwarfs). These stars exhibit different levels of chromospheric activity that produces ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV may be harmful to life, but it can also trigger reactions of prebiotic importance on the surface of a potentially habitable planet (PHP). We created a code to obtain the adenine yield for a known adenine synthesis route from diaminomaleonitrile (DAMN). We used computational methods to calculate the reaction coefficient rates (photolysis rate

    Abstract To investigate how disulfide bonds can impact protein energy landscapes, we surveyed the effects of adding or removing a disulfide in two β-lactamase enzymes, TEM-1 and CTX-M-9. The homologs share a structure and 38% sequence identity, but only TEM-1 contains a native disulfide bond. They also differ in thermodynamic stability and in the number of states populated at equilibrium: CTX-M-9 is two-state whereas TEM-1 has an additional intermediate state. We hypothesized that the disulfide bond is the major underlying determinant for these observed differences in their energy landscapes. To test this, we removed the disulfide bridge from TEM-1 and introduced a disulfide bridge at the same location in CTX-M-9. This modest change to sequence modulates the stabilities-and therefore populations-of TEM-1's equilibrium states and, more surprisingly, creates a novel third state in CTX-M-9. Unlike TEM-1's partially folded intermediate, this third state is a higher-order oligomer with reduced cysteines that retains the native fold and is fully active. Sub-denaturing concentrations of urea shifts the equilibrium to the monomeric form, allowing the disulfide bond to form. Interestingly, comparing the stability of the oxidized monomer with a variant lacking cysteines reveals the disulfide is neither stabilizing nor destabilizing in CTX-M-9, in contrast with the observed stabilization in TEM-1. Thus, we can conclude that engineering disulfide bonds is not always an effective stabilization strategy even when analogous disulfides exist in more stable structural homologs. This study also illustrates how homo-oligomerization can result from a small number of mutations, suggesting complex formation might be easily accessed during a protein family's evolution.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of 6-week specific preparatory period and 2-week taper period on neuromuscular fatigue profile in 100-m front crawl swimming performance. Seventeen competitive-level young-adult swimmers performed a 100-m swimming performance at baseline and after 6-week specific preparatory followed by 2-week taper periods. Neuromuscular fatigue profile was assessed through percutaneous electrical stimuli on the femoral nerve during a maximal voluntary contraction performed before and immediately after each 100-m maximal effort. Performance improved (p=0.001) 2.24 and 3.06% after specific and taper, respectively. Potentiated peak force at post-effort condition decreased (p<0.001) 16.26% at baseline, 11.70% at specific, and 12.86% at taper period. Maximal voluntary contraction force also decreased (p<0.001) at post-effort condition by about 6.77 and 9.33% at baseline and specific period, respectively. Both variables did not present significant differences between times. No condition or time effects were observed to superimposed peak force and voluntary activation, both related to central fatigue. In conclusion, neuromuscular fatigue during 100-m swimming performance was exclusively developed by peripheral mechanisms regardless of the training period, and 2-week taper was able to prevent decreases in maximal voluntary contraction induced by 100-m maximal effort.

    Abstract CTX-M β-lactamases are a widespread source of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in Gram-negative bacteria. These enzymes readily hydrolyze penicillins and cephalosporins, including oxyimino-cephalosporins such as cefotaxime. To investigate the preference of CTX-M enzymes for cephalosporins, we examined eleven active-site residues in the CTX-M-14 β-lactamase model system by alanine mutagenesis to assess the contribution of the residues to catalysis and specificity for the hydrolysis of the penicillin, ampicillin, and the cephalosporins cephalothin and cefotaxime. Key active site residues for class A β-lactamases, including Lys73, Ser130, Asn132, Lys234, Thr216, and Thr235, contribute significantly to substrate binding and catalysis of penicillin and cephalosporin substrates in that alanine substitutions decrease both k
