Article Abstract
Photoaffinity labeling is a widely used methodology for interrogating small molecule-protein interactions. However, these applications are limited by the few photo-crosslinkers that typically modify the affinity and the binding mode of the original ligand. Here, we report the development of new target agnostic photoaffinity warheads, sulfohydrazones that form a reactive carbene upon UV irradiation. Careful optimization of the reaction conditions allowed us to effectively label five different amino acid residues in proteins. Our approach turned biologically relevant hydrazones and sulfohydrazones to intrinsically irreversible covalent binders without structural modifications by photoactivation as demonstrated on monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) enzyme and STAT5b (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5b) transcription factor. Sulfohydrazones are readily accessible by transforming the corresponding carbonyl group of a ligand or a suitable tag that extends the application domain of the method for any ligands exemplified by conditional labelling of the acetylcholine esterase enzyme and the oncogenic mutant of GTP-ase KRas.

The Werner syndrome RecQ helicase (WRN) has recently emerged as a novel synthetic lethality target for microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancers. However, available WRN inhibitors or degraders is still lacking so far. Particularly, chemically designed probes capable of degrading WRN irrespective of microsatellite status remain unexplored.

Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is a HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with efficacy across adult cancers exhibiting variable HER2 expression. Prior studies demonstrating HER2 expression in osteosarcoma (OS) motivated a clinical trial of T-DXd in pediatric and adolescent/young adults with OS but was terminated early for inactivity. We evaluated the activity of T-DXd using OS patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models and found a 22% objective response rate despite no detectable HER2 expression across PDXs tested.

The growing heterogeneity of cardiac patient data from hospitals and wearables necessitates predictive models that are tailored, comprehensible, and safeguard privacy. This study introduces PerFed-Cardio, a lightweight and interpretable semi-federated learning (Semi-FL) system for real-time cardiovascular risk stratification utilizing multimodal data, including cardiac imaging, physiological signals, and electronic health records (EHR). In contrast to conventional federated learning, where all clients engage uniformly, our methodology employs a personalized Semi-FL approach that enables high-capacity nodes (e.

Ticks pose substantial threats to public health. Blacklegged ticks () are responsible for most tick-borne diseases in the US, transmitting seven human pathogens. Molecular surveillance for tick-borne pathogens has been outpaced by their emergence, revealing a critical need to develop agnostic strategies that characterize emerging and putative pathogens.

Tumor protein 53 (TP53)-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by poor outcomes and the quick development of treatment resistance. Here, we report that simultaneous inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) with dinaciclib and CAY10603, respectively, eliminates the therapeutic response gap between TP53-mutant and TP53 wild-type AML. Biochemical profiling showed that CAY10603 is not only HDAC6-selective but also exhibits pan-HDAC activity similar to suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, enabling dual targeting of transcriptional and cell cycle pathways.
