Prevention of the Corruption Crime through Administrative Enforcement Mechanism against Abuse of Authority by Wahbi Rahman, Sudarsono Sudarsono, Prija Djatmika, Abdul Madjid, Ramalinggam Rajamanickam

“…Where based on the research that has been carried out, it is known that with the development of applicable legal instruments, administrative enforcement against abuse of authority in the form of discretion that causes state financial losses can be used as an instrument to prevent the occurrence of a criminal act of corruption by using the principle that does not override each other,  meaning that if it can be resolved by administrative instruments then criminal law instruments are no longer applied, which is theoretically called the principle of Una-Via or ultra vires, meaning that if a case has been resolved administratively then the opportunity to resolve the case by other legal means is closed.…”

The O-glycosyltransferase C1GALT1 promotes EWSR1::FLI1 expression and is a therapeutic target for Ewing sarcoma by Shahid Banday, Alok K. Mishra, Romana Rashid, Tianyi Ye, Amjad Ali, Junhui Li, Jason T. Yustein, Michelle A. Kelliher, Lihua Julie Zhu, Sara K. Deibler, Sunil K. Malonia, Michael R. Green

“…Here, using genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screening, we identify C1GALT1, a galactosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of many O-glycoproteins, as a factor that promotes EWSR1::FLI1 expression. We show that C1GALT1 acts by O-glycosylating the pivotal Hedgehog (Hh) signaling component Smoothened (SMO), thereby stabilizing SMO and stimulating the Hh pathway, which we find directly activates EWSR1::FLI1 transcription. …”
