    Abstract Cullin (CUL)-RING (Really Interesting New Gene) E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligases (CRLs) are the largest E3 family. The E3 CRL core ligase is a subcomplex formed by the CUL C-terminal domain bound with the ROC1/RBX1 RING finger protein, which acts as a hub that mediates and organizes multiple interactions with E2, Ub, Nedd8, and the ARIH family protein, thereby resulting in Ub transfer to the E3-bound substrate. This report describes the modulation of CRL-dependent ubiquitination by small molecule compounds including KH-4-43, #33, and suramin, which target the CRL core ligases. We show that both KH-4-43 and #33 inhibit the ubiquitination of CK1α by CRL4

    Abstract Ubiquitination often generates lysine 48-linked polyubiquitin chains that signal proteolytic destruction of the protein target. A significant subset of ubiquitination proceeds by a priming/extending mechanism, in which a substrate is first monoubiquitinated with a priming E2-conjugating enzyme or a set of E3 ARIH/E2 enzymes specific for priming. This is then followed by ubiquitin (Ub) chain extension catalyzed by an E2 enzyme capable of elongation. This report provides further insights into the priming/extending mechanism. We employed reconstituted ubiquitination systems of substrates CK1α (casein kinase 1α) and β-catenin by Cullin-RING E3 Ub ligases (CRLs) CRL4

    Abstract Background: Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. Although modern medicine has made strides in treatment, a complete cure for cancer remains elusive.
    Summary: Utilization of medicinal plants in traditional medicine for the treatment of multiple diseases, including cancer, is a well-established practice. Sinomenine is an alkaloid extracted from a medicinal plant and has a diverse range of biological properties, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. Sinomenine exhibits inhibitory effects on various types of tumor cells, including breast, lung, and liver cancers. The anticancer properties of sinomenine are believed to involve stimulation of apoptosis and autophagy as well as suppression of cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.
    Key message: This review summarizes the current research on sinomenine's potential as an anticancer agent, which may contribute to the discovery of more effective cancer treatments.

    Abstract We show that a generic relativistic membrane with in-plane pressure and surface density having the same sign is unstable with respect to a series of warping mode instabilities with high wave numbers. We also examine the criteria of instability for commonly studied exotic compact objects with membranes, such as gravastars, anti-de Sitter bubbles, and thin-shell wormholes. For example, a gravastar which satisfies the weak energy condition turns out to be dynamically unstable. A thin-layer black hole mimicker is stable only if it has positive pressure and negative surface density (such as a wormhole), or vice versa.

    Abstract Posttranslational modification of protein by lysine-48 (K48) linked ubiquitin (Ub) chains is the major cellular mechanism for selective protein degradation that critically impacts biological processes such as cell cycle checkpoints. In this chapter, we describe an in vitro biochemical approach to detect a K48-linked di-Ub chain by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). To this end, we detail methods for the preparation of the relevant enzymes and substrates, as well as for the execution of the reaction with high efficiency. Tracking K48 polyubiquitination using this sensitive and highly reproducible format provides an opportunity for high-throughput screening that leads to identification of small molecule modulators capable of changing ubiquitination for improving human health.

    Abstract Recently, consumers have become increasingly interested in natural, health-promoting, and chronic disease-preventing medicine and food homology (MFH). There has been accumulating evidence that many herbal medicines, including MFH, are biologically active due to their biotransformation through the intestinal microbiota. The emphasis of scientific investigation has moved from the functionally active role of MFH to the more subtle role of biotransformation of the active ingredients in probiotic-fermented MFH and their health benefits. This review provides an overview of the current status of research on probiotic-fermented MFH. Probiotics degrade toxins and anti-nutritional factors in MFH, improve the flavor of MFH, and increase its bioactive components through their transformative effects. Moreover, MFH can provide a material base for the growth of probiotics and promote the production of their metabolites. In addition, the health benefits of probiotic-fermented MFH in recent years, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-neurodegenerative, skin-protective, and gut microbiome-modulating effects, are summarized, and the health risks associated with them are also described. Finally, the future development of probiotic-fermented MFH is prospected in combination with modern development technologies, such as high-throughput screening technology, synthetic biology technology, and database construction technology. Overall, probiotic-fermented MFH has the potential to be used in functional food for preventing and improving people's health. In the future, personalized functional foods can be expected based on synthetic biology technology and a database on the functional role of probiotic-fermented MFH.

    Abstract Antibiotic resistance residual in piggery wastewater poses serious threat to environment and human health. Biological treatment process is commonly installed to remove nutrient from piggery wastewater and also effective in removing antibiotics to varying degrees. But the specific pathways and mechanisms involved in the removal of antibiotic resistance are not yet well-understood. An integrated anaerobic-aerobic biofilm reactor (IAOBR) has been demonstrated efficient in removing conventional nutrients. It is here shown that the IAOBR effectively removed 79.0% of Sulfonamides, 55.7% of Tetracyclines and 53.6% of Quinones. Antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) were simultaneously inactivated by ~0.5 logs. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were decreased by 0.51 logs and 0.42 logs, respectively. The antibiotics were mainly removed through aerobic compartments of the IAOBR. The mass loss of antibiotics in the reactor was achieved by biodegradation and adsorption, accounting for 52.1% and 47.9%, respectively. An obvious accumulation of ARGs was observed in the activated sludge. The potential host of ARGs was analyzed via microbial community and network. Partial least squares-structural equation model and correlation analysis revealed that the enrichment of ARGs was positively affected by MGEs, followed by bacterial community and ARBs, but the effect of antibiotics on ARGs was negative. Outcomes of this study provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance removal in biological treatment processes.
