Article Abstract
Energy stress, characterized by the reduction of intracellular ATP, has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. Here, we show that energy stress promotes the formation of P-bodies in a ubiquitin-dependent manner. Upon ATP depletion, the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM23 catalyzes lysine-63 (K63)-linked polyubiquitination of HCLS1-associated protein X-1 (HAX1). HAX1 ubiquitination triggers its liquid‒liquid phase separation (LLPS) and contributes to P-bodies assembly induced by energy stress. Ubiquitinated HAX1 also interacts with the essential P-body proteins, DDX6 and LSM14A, promoting their condensation. Moreover, we find that this TRIM23/HAX1 pathway is critical for the inhibition of global protein synthesis under energy stress conditions. Furthermore, high HAX1 ubiquitination, and increased cytoplasmic localization of TRIM23 along with elevated HAX1 levels, promotes colorectal cancer (CRC)-cell proliferation and correlates with poor prognosis in CRC patients. Our data not only elucidate a ubiquitination-dependent LLPS mechanism in RNP granules induced by energy stress but also propose a promising target for CRC therapy.

Emerging evidence indicates that apelin, an adipokine, plays a critical role in numerous biological functions and may hold potential for therapeutic applications; however, its efficacy is constrained by rapid plasma degradation. Thus, the search for novel apelin analogues with reduced susceptibility to plasma degradation is ongoing. We have previously shown novel modified apelin-13 analogues, providing exciting opportunities for potential therapeutic development against Alzheimer's disease.

Background: The second most common cause of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) can be attributed to mutations in the PINK1 gene, malfunction of the mitochondria is the key pathological mechanism. Bre1 encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase, with the discovery of Bre1's role in repairing mitochondrial damage, further investigation into its implications for PD is warranted.
Methods: We used the PINK1B9 drosophila melanogaster as the PD model.

The increasing presence of nanoplastics (NPs) and synthetic antioxidants like 3-tert -Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (3-BHA) in the environment has attracted widespread attention about their combined toxicological effects on human health, particularly on renal function. This study explored to the combined impacts of NPs and 3-BHA at environmentally relevant concentrations on sub-chronic kidney injury in mice. Firstly, our results confirmed that the accumulation of 80 nm NPs in renal tissues, leading to structural abnormalities such as reduced mitochondrial cristae and increased empty bubbles in mice by transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis.

Hypoxia and elevated seawater temperatures are increasingly prevalent stressors in marine ecosystems, significantly impacting the physiology of marine organisms. This study investigates the transcriptomic and proteomic responses of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) hemocytes to hypoxia alone (water temperature, 23 °C; dissolved oxygen [DO] level, 1 mg O₂/L) and combined hypoxia with high temperature (water temperature, 28 °C; DO level, 1 mg O₂/L) over a 10-day exposure period. Using RNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, we identified distinct molecular responses to these stressors.
