Neighborhood watch: tools for defining locale-dependent subproteomes and their contextual signaling activities

Yimon Aye, Yi Zhao

Transient associations between numerous organelles-e.g., the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria-forge highly-coordinated, particular environments essential for cross-compartment information flow. Our perspective summarizes chemical-biology tools th ...

Clofarabine Commandeers the RNR-alpha-ZRANB3 Nuclear Signaling Axis

Yimon Aye, Yi Zhao

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is an essential enzyme in DNA biogenesis and a target of several chemotherapeutics. Here, we investigate how antileukemic drugs (e.g., clofarabine [CIF]) that target one of the two subunits of RNR, RNR-alpha, affect noncanoni ...

The key mRNA-binding proteins HuR and AUF1 are reported stress sensors in mammals. Intrigued by recent reports of sensitivity of these proteins to the electrophilic lipid prostaglandin A2 and other redox signals, we here examined their sensing abilities to ...

Empowering Global Chemical Biology at the Dawn of the New Decade

Yimon Aye

On January 22-24, 2020, scientific luminaries across the far-flung corners of chemical biology gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, to deliver their latest and greatest discoveries in the field. Generously supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SN ...

With a lipid-rich environment and elevated oxygen consumption, the central nervous system (CNS) is subject to intricate regulation by lipid-derived electrophiles (LDEs). Investigations into oxidative damage and chronic LDE generation in neural disorders ha ...

FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2020

Stereotyped as a nexus of dNTP synthesis, the dual-subunit enzyme - ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) - is coming into view as a paradigm of oligomerization and moonlighting behavior. In the present issue of `omics', we discuss what makes the larger subunit o ...

ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020

Interests in learning how to engineer most effective covalent ligands, identify novel functional targets, and define precise mechanism-of-action are rapidly growing in both academia and pharmaceutical industries. We here illuminate the establishment of a m ...

Recent Advances: Herein, we focus on the first step of this process, electrophile sensing. Electrophile sensing is typically a deceptively simple reaction between the thiol of a protein cysteine, of which there are around 200,000 in the human proteome, and ...

MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC2019

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are an effective means to orchestrate intricate biological processes required to sustain life. Approximately 650000 PPIs underlie the human interactome; thus underscoring its complexity and the manifold signaling outputs ...

Proteomics and Beyond: Cell Decision-Making Shaped by Reactive Electrophiles

Yimon Aye, Xuyu Liu

Revolutionary proteomic strategies have enabled rapid profiling of the cellular targets of electrophilic small molecules. However, precise means to directly interrogate how these individual electrophilic modifications at low occupancy functionally reshape ...
