Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID) affecting the skin which presents with both local and systemic inflammation as part of its pathophysiology. An oil rich in phospholipids extracted from herring roe has been shown to have immunomodulatory functions and to improve the clinical symptoms and impact inflammatory cytokine pathways in psoriasis in a clinical trial. The lipidic nature of herring roe oil (HRO) and its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids suggests involvement of lipid mediator pathways for the observed alleviation of psoriatic inflammation. Of particular interest is the super-family of lipid mediators termed specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), due to their involvement in resolution of inflammation and return to homeostasis. We therefore explored the influence of HRO and its phospholipids on lipid mediator and SPM biosynthesis in IFN-{gamma} and LPS-stimulated human monocyte-derived macrophages and an IL-17A-stimulated keratinocyte/fibroblast co-culture. Lipid mediators including SPMs were quantified from cell supernatants using a validated LC-MS/MS protocol. In these experiments we observed broad SPM biosynthesis with dominant upregulation of RvE2 and RvE3 in both cell systems and upregulation of DHA-derived SPMs such as RvD2 and PDX. Observations of PCTR2 in macrophage cell supernatants also indicate activation of reparative pathways upon treatment with HRO. In conclusion, we observed promotion of SPM biosynthesis associated with a shift towards a protective and possibly reparative macrophage phenotype as well as promotion of biosynthesis of pro-resolving lipid mediators in a skin cell co-culture, thus demonstrating a possible mechanism for resolution of inflammation in the skin niche using HRO.

K5 polysaccharides inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection by preventing spike-proteolytic priming
SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein is a promising drug target due to its crucial role in viral infection. Heparin, a long linear polysaccharide that inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection by acting on spike, has limited antiviral applications due to its anticoagulant effect. E. coli K5 polysaccharides share the same structure as the heparin precursor and can be chemically modified to devoid anticoagulant activi...

Giardia duodenalis: Base excision repair pathway enzyme FEN1 carries out catalytic activities pertaining to NER pathway
Giardia duodenalis is a binuclear protozoan that causes intestinal infection in humans and animals. The life cycle of G. duodenalis is comprised by 2 stages: trophozoite (vegetative, ploidy: 4N) and cyst (infective, ploidy: 8-16N) and the transition from one to another requires a precise coordination as well as the support of the DNA repair machinery. While DNA homologous recombination DNA repair ...

Nickel-NTA lipid-monolayer affinity grids allow for high-resolution structure determination by cryo-EM
Grid preparation is a rate-limiting step in determining high-resolution structures by single particle cryo-EM. Particle interaction with the air-water interface often leads to denaturation, aggregation, or a preferred orientation within the ice. Some samples yield insufficient quantities of particles when using traditional grid making techniques and require the use of solid supports that concentra...

The essential co-chaperone Sgt1 regulates client dwell time in the Hsp90 chaperone cycle
The Hsp90 machinery is the most complex chaperone system in the eukaryotic cell. It is characterized by numerous co-chaperones that modulate the function of Hsp90. In S. cerevisiae, most of these cofactors can be deleted without affecting viability. Of the three essential ones, only the function of Sgt1 remains to be discovered. Our in vivo and in vitro experiments define key structural elements t...

Erythrocytosis-inducing PHD2 mutations implicate biological role for N-terminal prolyl-hydroxylation in HIF1α oxygen-dependent degradation domain
Mutations in EGLN1, the gene encoding for hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-4-hydroxylase 2 (PHD2), cause erythrocytosis and in rare cases the development of neuroendocrine tumors. In the presence of oxygen, PHD2 hydroxylates one or both conserved prolines in the oxygen-dependent degradation domain (ODD) of HIF subunits, sufficiently marking HIF for binding and ubiquitylation via the von Hippe...

Ancestral evolution of oxidase activity in a class of (S)-nicotine and (S)-6-hydroxynicotine degrading flavoenzymes
Reduced flavin cofactors have the innate ability to reduce molecular oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. Flavoprotein oxidases turbocharge the reaction of their flavin cofactor with oxygen whereas flavoprotein dehydrogenases generally suppress it, yet our understanding of how these two enzyme classes control this reactivity remains incomplete. Here we used ancestral sequence reconstruction and biochemica...

Structural insight into the substrate binding of the AMT complex via an inhibitor-trapped state
N6-adenine (6mA) DNA methylation plays an important role in gene regulation and genome stability. The 6mA methylation in Tetrahymena thermophila is mainly mediated by the AMT complex, comprised of the AMT1, AMT7, AMTP1 and AMTP2 subunits. To date, how this complex assembles on the DNA substrate remains elusive. Here we report the structure of the AMT complex bound to the OCR protein from bacteriop...

Effects of NAD⁺ Repletion with Nicotinamide Riboside on Obesity-Induced Chronic Kidney Disease and Renal Cell Lipotoxicity
Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a natural precursor of NAD, has been suggested to confer protection against metabolic and age-related disorders. However, its impact on chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly in the context of obesity, remains poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the potential effects of NR supplementation in models of obesity-induced renal injury. The metabolic and renal effects o...

Illuminating the Unconscious: Physical and Perceived Brightness in Cognitive Processing
This study investigated how physical luminance and perceived brightness affect breakthrough time (BT) under continuous flash suppression (CFS). Experiment 1 examined whether the glare illusion, which increases subjective brightness without altering actual luminance, would shorten BT compared to physically identical controls. The results revealed no difference, suggesting that subjective brightness...
