| 1 | The PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/ROS/eIF2B pathway promotes breast cancer growth and metastasis via suppression of NK cell cytotoxicity and tumor cell susceptibility显示文摘Objective: To examine the effect of pSer9-GSK-3β on breast cancer and to determine whether the underlying metabolic and immunological mechanism is associated with ROS/eIF2B and natural killer(NK) cells.Methods: We employed TWS119 to inactivate GSK-3β by phosphorylating Ser9 and explored its effect on breast cancer and NK cells. The expression of GSK-3β, natural killer group 2 member D(NKG2D) ligands, eIF2B was quantified by PCR and Western blot. We measured intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS) and mitochondrial ROS using DCFH-DA and MitoSOX^(TM) probe,respectively, and conducted quantitative analysis of cellular respiration on 4T1 cells with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅰ/Ⅲ kits.Results: Our investigation revealed that TWS119 downregulated NKG2D ligands(H60 a and Rae1), suppressed the cytotoxicity of NK cells, and promoted the migration of 4T1 murine breast cancer cells. Nevertheless, LY290042, which attenuates p-GSK-3β formation by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt pathway, reversed these effects. We also found that higher expression of p Ser9-GSK-3β induced higher levels of ROS, and observed that abnormality of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅰ/Ⅲ function induced the dysfunction of GSK-3β-induced electron transport chain, naturally disturbing the ROS level. In addition, the expression of NOX3 and NOX4 was significantly up-regulated, which affected the generation of ROS and associated with the metastasis of breast cancer. Furthermore, we found that the expression of pSer535-eIF2B promoted the expression of NKG2D ligands(Mult-1 and Rae1) following by expression of pSer9-GSK-3β and generation of ROS.Conclusions: The PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/ROS/eIF2B pathway could regulate NK cell activity and sensitivity of tumor cells to NK cells,which resulted in breast cancer growth and lung metastasis. Thus, GSK-3β is a promising target of anti-tumor therapy. | Fengjiao Jin Zhaozhen Wu Xiao Hu Jiahui Zhang Zihe Gao Xiao Han Junfang Qin Chen Li Yue Wang | 2019 | Cancer Biology & Medicine2019,16,1: | 20 |
| 2 | A structural view of the antibiotic degradation enzyme NDM-1 from a superbug显示文摘Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae with resistance to carbapenem conferred by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1(NDM-1)are a type of newly discovered antibioticresistant bacteria.The rapid pandemic spread of NDM-1 bacteria worldwide(spreading to India,Pakistan,Europe,America,and Chinese Taiwan)in less than 2 months characterizes these microbes as a potentially major global health problem.The drug resistance of NDM-1 bacteria is largely due to plasmids containing the blaNDM-1 gene shuttling through bacterial populations.The NDM-1 enzyme encoded by the blaNDM-1 gene hydrolyzes β-lactam antibiotics,allowing the bacteria to escape the action of antibiotics.Although the biological functions and structural features of NDM-1 have been proposed according to results from functional and structural investigation of its homologues,the precise molecular characteristics and mechanism of action of NDM-1 have not been clarified.Here,we report the threedimensional structure of NDM-1 with two catalytic zinc ions in its active site.Biological and mass spectroscopy results revealed that D-captopril can effectively inhibit the enzymatic activity of NDM-1 by binding to its active site with high binding affinity.The unique features concerning the primary sequence and structural conformation of the active site distinguish NDM-1 from other reported metallo-β-lactamases(MBLs)and implicate its role in wide spectrum drug resistance.We also discuss the molecular mechanism of NDM-1 action and its essential role in the pandemic of drug-resistant NDM-1 bacteria.Our results will provide helpful information for future drug discovery targeting drug resistance caused by NDM-1 and related metallo-β-lactamases. | Yu Guo Jing Wang Guojun Niu Wenqing Shui Yuna Sun Honggang Zhou Yaozhou Zhang Cheng Yang Zhiyong Lou Zihe Rao | 2011 | Protein & Cell2011,2,5: | 16 |

| 6 | Chromosome-level genome of Himalayan yew provides insights into the origin and evolution of the paclitaxel biosynthetic pathway显示文摘Taxus,commonly known as yew,is a well-known gymnosperm with great ornamental and medicinal value.In this study,by assembling a chromosome-level genome of the Himalayan yew(Taxus wallichiana)with 10.9 Gb in 12 chromosomes,we revealed that tandem duplication acts as the driving force of gene family evolution in the yew genome,resulting in the main genes for paclitaxel biosynthesis,i.e.those encoding the taxadiene synthase,P450s,and transferases,being clustered on the same chromosome.The tandem duplication may also provide genetic resources for the nature to sculpt the core structure of taxoids at different positions and subsequently establish the complex pathway of paclitaxel by neofunctionalization.Furthermore,we confirmed that there are two genes in the cluster encoding isoenzymes of a known enzyme in the paclitaxel biosynthetic pathway.The reference genome of the Himalayan yew will serve as a platform for decoding the complete biosynthetic pathway of paclitaxel and understanding the chemodi-versity of taxoids in gymnosperms. | Jian Cheng Xiao Wang Xiaonan Liu Xiaoxi Zhu Zihe Li Huanyu Chu Qian Wang QianQian Lou Bijun Cai Yiqun Yang Xiaoyun Lu Kai Peng Dingyu Liu Yuwan Liu Lina Lu Huan Liu Ting Yang Qijin Ge Chengcheng Shi Guichun Liu Zhiwei Dong Xun Xu Wen Wang Huifeng Jiang Yanhe Ma | 2021 | Molecular Plant2021,14,7: | 6 |

| 10 | Architecture of the herpesvirus genomepackaging complex and implications for DNA translocation显示文摘Genome packaging is a fundamental process in a viral life cycle and a prime target of antiviral drugs.Herpesviruses use an ATP-driven packaging motor/terminase complex to translocate and cleave concatemeric dsDNA into procapsids but its molecular architecture and mechanism are unknown.We report atomic structures of a herpesvirus hexameric terminase complex in both the apo and ADP·BeF3-bound states.Each subunit of the hexameric ring comprises three components-the ATPase/terminase pUL15 and two regulator/fixer proteins,pUL28 and pUL33-unlike bacteriophage terminases.Distal to the nuclease domains,six ATPase domains form a central channel with conserved basicpatches conducive to DNA binding and trans-acting arginine fingers are essential to ATP hydrolysis and sequential DNA translocation.Rearrangement of the nuclease domains mediated by regulatory domains converts DNA translocation mode to cleavage mode.Our structures favor a sequential revolution model for DNA translocation and suggest mechanisms for concerted domain rearrangements leading to DNA cleavage. | Yunxiang Yang Pan Yang Nan Wang Zhonghao Chen Dan Su ZHong Zhou Zihe Rao Xiangxi Wang | 2020 | Protein & Cell2020,11,5: | 5 |
| 11 | Zanthoxylum-specific whole genome duplication and recent activity of transposable elements in the highly repetitive paleotetraploid Z.bungeanum genome显示文摘Zanthoxylum bungeanum is an important spice and medicinal plant that is unique for its accumulation of abundant secondary metabolites,which create a characteristic aroma and tingling sensation in the mouth.Owing to the high proportion of repetitive sequences,high heterozygosity,and increased chromosome number of Z.bungeanum,the assembly of its chromosomal pseudomolecules is extremely challenging.Here,we present a genome sequence for Z.bungeanum,with a dramatically expanded size of 4.23 Gb,assembled into 68 chromosomes.This genome is approximately tenfold larger than that of its close relative Citrus sinensis.After the divergence of Zanthoxylum and Citrus,the lineage-specific whole-genome duplication event q-WGD approximately 26.8 million years ago(MYA)and the recent transposable element(TE)burst~6.41 MYA account for the substantial genome expansion in Z.bungeanum.The independent Zanthoxylum-specific WGD event was followed by numerous fusion/fission events that shaped the genomic architecture.Integrative genomic and transcriptomic analyses suggested that prominent speciesspecific gene family expansions and changes in gene expression have shaped the biosynthesis of sanshools,terpenoids,and anthocyanins,which contribute to the special flavor and appearance of Z.bungeanum.In summary,the reference genome provides a valuable model for studying the impact of WGDs with recent TE activity on gene gain and loss and genome reconstruction and provides resources to accelerate Zanthoxylum improvement. | Shijing Feng Zhenshan Liu Jian Cheng Zihe Li Lu Tian Min Liu Tuxi Yang Yulin Liu Yonghong Liu He Dai Zujun Yang Qing Zhang Gang Wang Jisen Zhang Huifeng Jiang Anzhi Wei | 2021 | Horticulture Research2021,8,1: | 5 |
| 12 | Water protection in the western semiarid coal mining regions of China: A case study显示文摘The coal industry in China has been moving from the semiarid eastern to the drier western regions since the beginning of this century.Water protection is of the utmost concern for coal mining in these regions.Lu'an,as one of the state coal mining bases in China,has been seeing increasingly heavier pressure for the protection of water resources.This article considers Lu'an as an example and describes the ways these concerns may be alleviated.High mine-water utilization rates have effectively reduced wasting of water and,consequently,have reduced water demand.Using the top layers of the Ordavician as aquifuge barriers can prevent floor karst water inrush into the longwall face and can protect the regional Ordovician karst water resources at the same time.The strength of the overlying Quaternary clay can protect against roof collapse and has successfully preserved the Quaternary porous water resource. | Huang Hanfu Wang Changshen Bai Haibo Wang Zihe | 2012 | International Journal of Mining Science and Technology2012,22,5: | 5 |
| 13 | High-throughput screening identifies established drugs as SARS-CoV-2 PLpro inhibitors显示文摘A new coronavirus(SARS-CoV-2)has been identified as the etiologic agent for the COVID-19 outbreak.Currently,effective treatment options remain very limited for this disease;therefore,there is an urgent need to identify new anti-COVID-19 agents.In this study,we screened over 6,000 compounds that included approved drugs,drug candidates in clinical trials,and pharmacologically active compounds to identify leads that target the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease(PLpro).Together with main protease(Mpro),PLpro is responsible for processing the viral replicase polyprotein into functional units.There-fore,it is an attractive target for antiviral drug develop-ment.Here we discovered four compounds,YM155,cryptotanshinone,tanshinone I and GRL0617 that inhibit SARS-CoV-2 PLpro with IC50 values ranging from 1.39 to 5.63 pmol/L.These compounds also exhibit strong antiviral activities in cell-based assays.YM155,an anti-cancer drug candidate in clinical trials,has the most potent antiviral activity with an EC50 value of 170 nmol/L.In addition,we have determined the crystal structures of this enzyme and its complex with YM155,revealing a unique binding mode.YM155 simultaneously targets three'hot'spots on PLpro,including the substrate-binding pocket,the interferon stimulating gene product 15(ISG15)binding site and zinc finger motif.Our results demonstrate the efficacy of this screening and repur-posing strategy,which has led to the discovery of new drug leads with clinical potential for COVID-19 treatments. | Yao Zhao Xiaoyu Du Yinkai Duan Xiaoyan Pan Yifang Sun Tian You Lin Han Zhenming Jin Weijuan Shang Jing Yu Hangtian Guo Qianying Liu Yan Wu Chao Peng Jun Wang Chenghao Zhu Xiuna Yang Kailin Yang Ying Lei Luke W.Guddat Wenqing Xu Gengfu Xiao Lei Sun Leike Zhang Zihe Rao Haitao Yang | 2021 | Protein & Cell2021,12,11: | 4 |
| 14 | An open conformation determined by a structural switch for 2A protease from coxsackievirus A16显示文摘Coxsackievirus A16 belongs to the family Picornaviridae,and is a major agent of hand-foot-and-mouth disease that infects mostly children,and to date no vaccines or antivi-ral therapies are available.2A protease of enterovirus is a nonstructural protein and possesses both self-cleavage activity and the ability to cleave the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G.Here we present the crystal structure of coxsackievirus A162A protease,which interestingly forms hexamers in crystal as well as in solution.This structure shows an open conformation,with its active site accessible,ready for substrate binding and cleav-age activity.In conjunction with a previously reported“closed”state structure of human rhinovirus 2,we were able to develop a detailed hypothesis for the conforma-tional conversion triggered by two“switcher”residues Glu88 and Tyr89 located within the bll2-cII loop.Substrate recognition assays revealed that amino acid residues P1′,P2 and P4 are essential for substrate specificity,which was verifi ed by our substrate binding model.In addition,we compared the in vitro cleavage effi ciency of 2A pro-teases from coxsackievirus A16 and enterovirus 71 upon the same substrates by fl uorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET),and observed higher protease activity of enterovirus 71 compared to that of coxsackievirus A16.In conclusion,our study shows an open conformation of coxsackievirus A162A protease and the underlying mechanisms for conformational conversion and substrate specifi city.These new insights should facilitate the future rational design of effi cient 2A protease inhibitors. | Yao Sun Xiangxi Wang Shuai Yuan Minghao Dang Xuemei Li Xuejun CZhang Zihe Rao | 2013 | Protein & Cell2013,4,10: | 3 |

| 16 | Normobaric oxygen for cerebral ischemic injury显示文摘Oxygen inhalation has been shown to increase oxygen supply to tissues after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury,protecting injured neural cells.However,hyperbaric oxygen may aggravate oxidative stress.By contrast,normobaric oxygen has the rapid and non-invasive characteristics and may have therapeutic effects on ischemic/hypoxic disease.Rats inhaled normobaric oxygen(95%O2)for 6 consecutive days,and then a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia was established.Nissl and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining revealed that normobaric oxygen pretreatment improved neurological deficits and reduced infarct volume.Immunohistochemical staining and western blot assay revealed that the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α,Notch-1,vascular endothelial growth factor and erythropoietin were increased.Behavioral studies also verified that neurological deficit scores increased.The hypoxia-inducible factor inhibitor 2-methoxyestradiol treatment at 1 hour before administration of normobaric oxygen could suppress the protective effect of normobaric oxygen.Given these observations,normobaric oxygen pretreatment may alleviate cerebral ischemic injury via the hypoxia-inducible factor signal pathway. | Chunhua Chen Haimeng Cui Zihe Li Ruifeng Wang Changman Zhou | 2013 | Neural Regeneration Research2013,8,31: | 3 |

After solubilizing in 8 mol/L urea, the expression product was purified by cation ion exchange chromatography. The purified product was refolded by dilution and the recovery was about 15%. Analysis of mass spectrum, circular dichroism (CD) spectrum and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum demonstrate that the molecular weight of the bPrPcL is 23 630 u, the bPrPcL has a high α-helix content (36.1%) and low (3-sheet content (11.9%). | WANG Dawei YANG Huaiyi RAO Zihe TIAN Bo | 2000 | Chinese Science Bulletin2000,45,14: | 3 |
| 18 | Double lock of a potent human therapeutic monoclonal antibody against SARS-CoV-2显示文摘Receptor recognition and subsequent membrane fusion are essential for the establishment of successful infection by SARS-CoV-2.Halting these steps can cure COVID-19.Here we have identified and characterized a potent human monoclonal antibody,HB27,that blocks SARS-CoV-2 attachment to its cellular receptor at sub-nM concentrations.Remarkably,HB27 can also prevent SARS-CoV-2 membrane fusion.Consequently,a single dose of HB27 conferred effective protection against SARS-CoV-2 in two established mouse models.Rhesus macaques showed no obvious adverse events when administrated with10 times the effective dose of HB27.Cryo-EM studies on complex of SARS-CoV-2 trimeric S with HB27 Fab reveal that three Fab fragments work synergistically to occlude SARS-CoV-2 from binding to the ACE2 receptor.Binding of the antibody also restrains any further conformational changes of the receptor binding domain,possibly interfering with progression from the prefusion to the postfusion stage.These results suggest that HB27 is a promising candidate for immuno-therapies against COVID-19. | Ling Zhu Yong-Qiang Deng Rong-Rong Zhang Zhen Cui Chun-Yun Sun Chang-Fa Fan Xiaorui Xing Weijin Huang Qi Chen Na-Na Zhang Qing Ye Tian-Shu Cao Nan Wang Lei Wang Lei Cao Huiyu Wang Desheng Kong Juan Ma Chunxia Luo Yanjing Zhang Jianhui Nie Yao Sun Zhe Lv Neil Shaw Qianqian Li Xiao-Feng Li Junjie Hu Liangzhi Xie Zihe Rao Youchun Wang Xiangxi Wang Cheng-Feng Qin | 2021 | National Science Review2021,8,3: | 3 |
| 19 | Crystal structure of the African swine fever virus structural protein p35 reveals its role for core shell assembly显示文摘Dear Editor,The African swine fever(ASF)is a highly contagious hemorrhagic and lethal disease in domestic pigs.The ASF outbreaks of in many Asia countries,including China,Vietnam,Mongolia,and South Korea,have posed a huge threat to the pig indusry.In the attempt to stop ASF from spreading further in China's Mainland,more than 10 million pigs have been culled since August 2018.The causative agent for ASF is a DNA virus,African swine fever virus(ASFV).Although this deadly disease has been reported in Kenya nearly one hundred years ago,there has been no vaccine for protection from ASFV infection or effective treatments to cure ASF until now. | Guobang Li Dan Fu Guangshun Zhang Dongming Zhao Mingyu Li Xue Geng Dongdong Sun Yuhui Wang Cheng Chen Peng Jiao Lin Cao Yu Guo Zihe Rao | 2020 | Protein & Cell2020,11,8: | 3 |
| 20 | Structure of African swine fever virus p15 reveals its dual role for membrane-association and DNA binding显示文摘Dear Editor, African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease of domestic pigs caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV),with mortality rates approaching 90%-100%.The first ASF case was described in 1921 in Kenya.Over the past decades, ASF has spread from Sub-Saharan Africa to Europe and Asia, and pose a huge threat to global food safety.Since the first ASF case reported in August 2018, more than 10 million pigs had been culled in China at an enormous economic loss.The risk of ASFV mutating to infect humans is extremely low.However, ASF not only threatens food security but also severely strikes the world economy in many fields, such as the global supply of the blood thinner heparin,most of which is produced from pigs.Hence, ASF is a strictly monitored infectious animal disease by OIE (World Organization for Animal Health), unfortunately, there is no approved drug or vaccine against this lethal viral disease. | Dan Fu Dongming Zhao Wei Zhang Guangshun Zhang Mingyu Li Zheng Zhang Yuhui Wang Dongdong Sun Peng Jiao Cheng Chen Yu Guo Zihe Rao | 2020 | Protein & Cell2020,11,8: | 3 |
