Characterization of novel human endogenous retrovirus structures on chromosomes 6 and 7 by Nicholas Pasternack, Nicholas Pasternack, Ole Paulsen, Avindra Nath

“…While the reference genome for both regions suggests these two loci are structurally dissimilar, we found that for both loci about 5% of individuals have a unique tandem repeat-like sequence (three long terminal repeat sequences sandwiching two internal, potentially protein coding sequences), while most individuals have a standard proviral structure (one internal region sandwiched by two long terminal repeats). …”

Controversial Roles of Regenerating Family Proteins in Tissue Repair and Tumor Development by Luting Yu, Qingyun Wu, Shenglong Jiang, Jia Liu, Junli Liu, Guoguang Chen

“…Such functional diversity is correlated with their structural characteristics: the N-terminal region contributes to autoantigenicity, while the C-type lectin fragment near the C-terminal determines the trophic action. …”

Immunoinformatics Approach to Design a Chimeric CD70-Peptide Vaccine against Renal Cell Carcinoma by Haideh Namdari, Farhad Rezaei, Fatemeh Heidarnejad, Mohammad Yaghoubzad-Maleki, Maryam Karamigolbaghi

“…To enhance immunogenicity, sequences of cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), penetratin (pAntp), along with the entire sequence of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), were attached to the N-terminal and C-terminal of the CD70 epitopes. Computational assessments were performed on these chimeric vaccines for antigenicity, allergenicity, peptide toxicity, population coverage, and physicochemical properties. …”

Identification of an inter-cysteine loop potentially involved in the activity of Opisthorchis viverrini-granulin-1 by Rozita Takjoo, David T. Wilson, Paramjit S. Bansal, Alex Loukas, Michael J. Smout, Norelle L. Daly

“…The current study has shown that an inter-cysteine loop of the N-terminal domain of Opisthorchis viverrini granulin-1 (Ov-GRN-1), a granulin protein from the flatworm liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini which has potent wound healing properties, maintains the bioactivity of the full-length protein. …”

Timing of nitrogen fertilization and shading affect the transition of nitrogen metabolism in senescing leaves of ripening wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by Hideki Araki, Hirotaka Ueno, Keisuke Mizuta, Tadashi Takahashi, Masaru Shibata, Jun’ichi Mano

“…This study suggests that the terminal leaf senescence proceeds in two phases, and the transition between these was accelerated by low nitrogen and slowed by mild shading.…”
