FBXO31-mediated ubiquitination of OGT maintains O-GlcNAcylation homeostasis to restrain endometrial malignancy

Research Background and Problem Introduction Protein O-GlcNAc glycosylation is an important post-translational modification that plays a critical role in cellular metabolic plasticity. Aberrant O-GlcNAc glycosylation levels have been observed in various cancers, including endometrial cancer (EC), a common malignancy in women. However, clinical char...

5-HT7R Enhances Neuroimmune Resilience and Alleviates Meningitis by Promoting CCR5 Ubiquitination

5-HT7R Enhances Neuroimmune Resilience and Alleviates Meningitis by Promoting CCR5 Ubiquitination Academic Background Bacterial meningitis is a rapidly onset, highly fatal disease with epidemic potential, especially when caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.p.) infection. The destruction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) leads to the release of inf...

RNF2 Promotes Chondrosarcoma Progression by Regulating Ubiquitination and Degradation of CBX7

RNF2 Promotes Chondrosarcoma Progression by Regulating Ubiquitination of CBX7 Academic Background Chondrosarcoma (CHS) is a malignant tumor composed of hyaline cartilage matrix and chondrocytes, ranking as the second most common primary bone tumor after osteosarcoma, accounting for 20%-27% of all primary malignant bone tumors. Although the 5-year s...

WWP1 Regulates TXNIP Ubiquitination and Degradation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells via Redox State Modulation

WWP1 Regulates Redox State in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells by Modulating TXNIP Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant blood disorder characterized by the abnormal proliferation of immature leukemia cells (leukemic blasts) in the bone marrow. Although significant progress has been made in the treatment of AML in recent years, the lon...
