    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic once again highlighted the constant threat posed by viruses. Specific therapeutics are highly warranted, but their development is time consuming and cost intensive. Broad-spectrum antivirals provide a promising option for fast application to treat circulating or newly emerged viruses. Here, we introduce molecular tweezers as broad-spectrum antivirals, which abrogate viral infection by directly targeting the viral membrane. Furthermore, we discuss the current stage of tweezer development to fight SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses.

    Abstract The tubular system of the kidneys is a complex series of morphologic and functional units orchestrating the content of tubular fluid as it flows along the nephron and collecting ducts. Renal tubules maintain body water, regulate electrolytes and acid-base balance, reabsorb precious organic solutes, and eliminate specific metabolites, toxins, and drugs. In addition, decisive mechanisms to adjust blood pressure are governed by the renal tubules. Genetic as well as acquired disorders of these tubular functions may cause serious diseases that manifest both in childhood and adulthood. This article addresses a selection of tubulopathies and the underlying pathomechanisms, while highlighting the important differences in pediatric and adult nephrology care. These range from rare monogenic conditions such as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, cystinosis, and Bartter syndrome that present in childhood, to the genetic and acquired tubular pathologies causing hypertension or nephrolithiasis that are more prevalent in adults. Both pediatric and adult nephrologists must be aware of these conditions and the age-dependent manifestations that warrant close interaction between the two subspecialties.

    Abstract EPI-X4, an endogenous peptide inhibitor, has exhibited potential as a blocker of CXCR4-a G protein-coupled receptor. This unique inhibitor demonstrates the ability to impede HIV-1 infection and halt CXCR4-dependent processes such as tumor cell migration and invagination. Despite its promising effects, a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between EPI-X4 and CXCR4 under natural conditions remains elusive due to experimental limitations. To bridge this knowledge gap, a simulation approach was undertaken. Approximately 150,000 secondary structures of EPI-X4 were subjected to simulations to identify thermodynamically stable candidates. This simulation process harnessed a self-developed reactive force field operating within the ReaxFF framework. The application of the Two-Phase Thermodynamic methodology to ReaxFF facilitated the derivation of crucial thermodynamic attributes of the EPI-X4 conformers. To deepen insights, an ab initio density functional theory calculation method was employed to assess the electrostatic potentials of the most relevant (i.e., stable) EPI-X4 structures. This analytical endeavor aimed to enhance comprehension of the inhibitor's structural characteristics. As a result of these investigations, predictions were made regarding how EPI-X4 interacts with CXCR4. Two pivotal requirements emerged. Firstly, the spatial conformation of EPI-X4 must align effectively with the CXCR4 receptor protein. Secondly, the functional groups present on the surface of the inhibitor's structure must complement the corresponding features of CXCR4 to induce attraction between the two entities. These predictive outcomes were based on a meticulous analysis of the conformers, conducted in a gaseous environment. Ultimately, this rigorous exploration yielded a suitable EPI-X4 structure that fulfills the spatial and functional prerequisites for interacting with CXCR4, thus potentially shedding light on new avenues for therapeutic development.

    Abstract Cardiomyocytes are permanently exposed to mechanical stimulation due to cardiac contractility. Passive myocardial stiffness is a crucial factor, which defines the physiological ventricular compliance and volume of diastolic filling with blood. Heart diseases often present with increased myocardial stiffness, for instance when fibrotic changes modify the composition of the cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM). Consequently, the ventricle loses its compliance, and the diastolic blood volume is reduced. Recent advances in the field of cardiac mechanobiology revealed that disease-related environmental stiffness changes cause severe alterations in cardiomyocyte cellular behavior and function. Here, we review the molecular mechanotransduction pathways that enable cardiomyocytes to sense stiffness changes and translate those into an altered gene expression. We will also summarize current knowledge about when myocardial stiffness increases in the diseased heart. Sophisticated

    Abstract Topically applied microbicides may play a critical role in preventing sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1); however, their efficacy can be compromised by amyloid fibrils present in semen, which significantly increase HIV-1 infectivity. This phenomenon may have contributed to the failure of most microbicide candidates in clinical settings. Understanding the impact of semen on microbicide effectiveness is thus crucial. In our study, we evaluated the influence of semen on the neutralizing activity of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), including PG16, PGT121, 10-1074, 3BNC117, and VRC01, which are potential microbicide candidates. We found that semen enhances infection of HIV-1 transmitted/founder viruses but only marginally affects the neutralizing activity of tested antibodies, suggesting their potential for microbicide application. Our findings underscore the need to consider semen-mediated enhancement when evaluating and developing microbicides and highlight the potential of incorporating HIV-1 bNAbs in formulations to enhance efficacy and mitigate HIV-1 transmission during sexual encounters.IMPORTANCEThis study examined the impact of semen on the development of microbicides, substances used to prevent the transmission of HIV-1 during sexual activity. Semen contains certain components that can render the virus more infectious, posing a challenge to microbicide effectiveness. Researchers specifically investigated the effect of semen on a group of powerful antibodies called broadly neutralizing antibodies, which can neutralize a large spectrum of different HIV-1 variants. The results revealed that semen only had a minimal effect on the antibodies' ability to neutralize the virus. This is promising because it suggests that these antibodies could still be effective in microbicides, even in the presence of semen. Understanding this interaction is crucial for developing better strategies to prevent HIV-1 transmission. By incorporating the knowledge gained from this study, scientists can now focus on creating microbicides that consider the impact of semen, bringing us closer to more effective prevention methods.

    Abstract Yeast-based secretion systems are advantageous for engineering highly interesting enzymes that are not or barely producible in E. coli. The herein-presented production setup facilitates high-throughput screening as no cell lysis is required. All techniques are described in detail, with access to freely available online tools and all vectors have been made available on the non-profit plasmid repository AddGene. We describe the method for UPOs as a model enzyme, showcasing their secretion, detection, and evolution using S. cerevisiae. Additional material to transfer this to P. pastoris has been published by our group previously (Püllmann & Weissenborn, 2021).
