Pan1 is a multi-domain scaffold that enables dynamic interactions with both structural and regulatory components of the endocytic pathway. Pan1 is composed of Eps15 Homology (EH) domains which interact with adaptor proteins, a central region that is responsible for its oligomerization and C-terminal binding sites for Arp2/3, F-actin, and type-I myosin motors. In this study, we have characterized the binding sites between Pan1 and its constitutive binding partner End3, another EH domain containing endocytic protein. The C-terminal End3 Repeats of End3 associate with the N-terminal part of Pan1's central coiled-coil region. These repeats appear to act independently of one another as tandem, redundant binding sites for Pan1. The end3-1 allele was sequenced, and corresponds to a C-terminal truncation lacking the End3 Repeats. Mutations of the End3 Repeats highlight that those residues which are identical between these repeats serve as contact sites for the interaction with Pan1.

Objectives: Bladder cancer is a common malignancy with high incidence and poor prognosis. N-methyladenosine (mA) modification is widely involved in diverse physiological processes, among which the mA recognition protein YTH N-methyladenosine RNA binding protein F2 (YTHDF2) plays a crucial role in bladder cancer progression. This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which O-linked -acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification of YTHDF2 regulates its downstream target, period circadian regulator 1 (), thereby promoting bladder cancer cell proliferation.

Objectives: To investigate the role of circular RNA circ_0000437 in regulating biological behaviors of breast cancer cells and the molecular mechanism.
Methods: Breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with sh-circ_0000437, mimics, inhibitor, si-CTPS1, or their respective negative controls. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of circ_0000437, let-7b-5p, CTPS1, Notch1, Hes1, and Numb in breast cancer cell lines and tissues.

The cluster growth behavior of CO and CH on an aromatic ligand has been studied through the unambiguous identification of complex structures of 1,2,3-trifluorobenzene-(CO) and -ß(CH) using broadband rotational spectroscopy in conjunction with extensive theoretical calculations. The results reveal a contrast in the thermodynamically favorable ligand-gas binding sites and noncovalent interactions of the two gaseous molecules on the ligand. The observation of a tunneling splitting and large centrifugal distortions indicates that CH molecules bind to the fluorinated π system via three weak hydrogen bonds without CH self-interactions, resulting in an effective structure displaced toward the dissociation limit.

Introduction: Targeted infection imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis in postpartum women. This project uses 99mTc-labeled cefixime to develop a radiopharmaceutical for detecting, distinguishing, and treating infections and abscesses in women.
Method: Technetium (TcO4-) chelated with cefixime, reduced by stannous chloride, confirmed via thin-layer chromatography.
