A sensitive ERK fluorescent probe reveals the significance of minimal EGF-induced transcription by Zhang Weisheng, Jun Nakayama, Yukino Inomata, Shigeki Higashiyama, Toru Hiratsuka

“…Genetically encoded fluorescent probes are instrumental in dissecting the ERK activity dynamics in living cells. Here we modified a previously reported Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) probe for ERK, EKAREN5 by replacing its mTurquoise2 and YPet sequences with mTurquoise-GL and a synonymous codon variant of YPet, respectively. …”

Placental malaria infection is associated with downregulation of STAT-6 and ANG-1 in decidual macrophages by Fred Owino, Fred Owino, Fred Owino, Caroline Kijogi, Caroline Kijogi, Caroline Kijogi, Omu Anzala, Omu Anzala, Edwin Walong, Obiero Jael, Steven G. Nyanjom, Agola Lelo Eric, Bernard N. Kanoi, Bernard N. Kanoi, Jesse Gitaka, Jesse Gitaka

“…Placental malaria infection may cause dysfunction in decidual macrophages which then culminates in the associated pregnancy complications. Here, we determined the influence of placental malaria on decidual macrophages, by assessing their distribution based on their unique phenotypes, and examining their expression levels of transcription factors as well as angiogenic factors, in placentas from women living in a malaria-endemic area.MethodsWe compared these macrophage parameters in placentas from malaria infected women to those from the uninfected women. …”

Chemical catalyst manipulating cancer epigenome and transcription by Yuki Yamanashi, Shinpei Takamaru, Atsushi Okabe, Satoshi Kaito, Yuto Azumaya, Yugo R. Kamimura, Kenzo Yamatsugu, Tomoya Kujirai, Hitoshi Kurumizaka, Atsushi Iwama, Atsushi Kaneda, Shigehiro A. Kawashima, Motomu Kanai

“…However, the specific consequences of each histone PTM remain largely unclear, primarily due to the lack of methods for selectively and rapidly introducing a desired histone PTM in living cells without genetic engineering. Here, we report the development of a cell-permeable histone acetylation catalyst, BAHA-LANA-PEG-CPP44, which selectively enters leukemia cells, binds to chromatin, and acetylates H2BK120 of endogenous histones in a short reaction time. …”
