Convergent evolution of oxidized sugar metabolism in commensal and pathogenic microbes in the inflamed gut by Sophia Levy, Angela K. Jiang, Maggie R. Grant, Gabriela Arp, Glory Minabou Ndjite, Xiaofang Jiang, Brantley Hall

“…The divergent pathway in commensals includes a putative 5-KDG aldolase (GudL) and an uncharacterized ABC transporter (GarABC) that recapitulate the function of their non-homologous counterparts in pathogens. A systematic bioinformatic search for the gud/gar pathway in gut microbes identified 887 species putatively capable of metabolizing oxidized sugars. …”

ZNF652-Induced circRHOT1 Promotes SMAD5 Expression to Modulate Tumorigenic Properties and Nature Killer Cell-Mediated Toxicity in Bladder Cancer via Targeting miR-3666 by Hu Ke, Jiabin Zhang, Fei Wang, Yunhe Xiong

“…Subsequently, we conducted bioinformatics analysis followed by RNA pull-down, ChIP, and luciferase reporter assays, from which we found that circRHOT1 expression in BC cells could be regulated by ZNF652, and circRHOT1 could promote SMAD5 expression to regulate BC cell cellular progression by sponging miR-3666. …”

Molecular Modeling and Simulation Analysis of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy Potential for Control of COVID-19 by Maryam Pourhajibagher

“…In this in silico study, SARS-CoV-2-SG was selected as a novel target for curcumin as a photosensitizer during aPDT to exploit its physicochemical properties, molecular modeling, hierarchical nature of protein structure, and functional analysis using several bioinformatics tools and biological databases. The results of a detailed computational investigation revealed that SARS-CoV-2-SG is most similar to 6VXX_A, with 100% query cover and identity. …”
