Unravelling 2-oxoglutarate turnover and substrate oxidation dynamics in 5-methylcytosine-oxidising TET enzymes by Šimelis, K, Belle, R, Kawamura, A

“…Here, we profile 5-methylcytosine (5mC)-oxidising Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) enzymes using MS and 1H NMR spectroscopy methods and reveal a high degree of substrate oxidation-independent 2OG turnover under a range of conditions. 2OG decarboxylase activity is substantial (>20% 2OG turned over after 1 h) in the absence of substrate, while, under substrate-saturating conditions, half of total 2OG consumption is uncoupled from substrate oxidation. 2OG kinetics are affected by substrate and non-substrate DNA oligomers, and the sequence-agnostic effects are observed in amoeboflagellate Naegleria gruberi NgTet1 and human TET2. …”

Characterizing the Impact of Oligomerization on Redox Flow Cell Performance by Weiss, Trent A, Fan, Gang, Neyhouse, Bertrand J, Moore, Evan B, Furst, Ariel, Brushett, Fikile R

“…Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are hindered by complex failure modes, particularly crossover through the membrane, resulting in capacity fade and reduced cycling efficiencies. Redox‐active oligomers (RAOs) have recently been proposed for mitigating this phenomenon while maintaining sufficient transport properties; however, to date, few studies have quantified how the chemical and electrochemical properties of RAOs influence their performance in redox flow cells. …”

Phase separation of a microtubule plus-end tracking protein into a fluid fractal network by Czub, MP, Uliana, F, Grubić, T, Padeste, C, Rosowski, KA, Lorenz, C, Dufresne, ER, Menzel, A, Vakonakis, I, Gasser, U, Steinmetz, MO

“…Its liquid condensation likely involves the formation of higher-order oligomers that phase separate in a manner dependent on the protein’s N-terminal CAP-Gly domain and C-terminal EEY/F-like motif. …”

Recognition of A-U and U-A base pairs in RNA duplexes by modified peptide nucleic acids by Yuan, Zhen

“…RNA triplex structures play vital roles in regulating various biological processes, and have attracted a Jot of interest in designing TFOs (triplex-fonning oligomers) that could selectively and specifically bind to the nuclei acid duplex. …”

Spatial and subcellular gene expression patterns in myogenic differentiation and muscle pathology by Chwalenia, KM

“…Promising dystrophin-restoration therapies such as gene editing using the CRISPR-Cas9 system and antisense oligonucleotide-mediated exon skipping using peptide-phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PPMOs) are currently in development. The efficacy of these approaches is typically assessed in terms of the amount of dystrophin restored, while correct sarcolemmal localisation of the protein has largely been assumed.…”
