| 1 | Solution structure of the RNA recognition domain of METTL3-METTL14 N^6-methyladenosine methyltransferase显示文摘N^6-methyladenosine(m6A),a ubiquitous RNA modification,is installed by METTL3-METTL14 complex.The structure of the heterodimeric complex between the methyltransferase domains(MTDs)of METTL3 and METTL14 has been previously determined.However,the MTDs alone possess no enzymatic activity.Here we present the solution structure for the zinc finger domain(ZFD)of METTL3,the inclusion of which fulfills the methyltransferase activity of METTL3-METTL14.We show that the ZFD specifically binds to an RNA containing 5'-GGACU-3'consensus sequence,but does not to one without.The ZFD thus serves as the target recognition domain,a structural feature previously shown for DNA methyltransferases,and cooperates with the MTDs of METTL3-METTL14 for catalysis.However,the interaction between the ZFD and the specific RNA is extremely weak,with the binding affinity at several hundred micromolar under physiological conditions.The ZFD contains two CCCH-type zinc fingers connected by an anti-parallel P-sheet.Mutational analysis and NMR titrations have mapped the functional interface to a contiguous surface.As a division of labor,the RNA-binding interface comprises basic residues from zinc finger 1 and hydrophobic residues fromβ-sheet and zinc finger 2.Further we show that the linker between the ZFD and MTD of METTL3 is flexible but partially folded,which may permit the cooperation between the two domains during catalysis.Together,the structural characterization of METTL3 ZFD paves the way to elucidate the atomic details of the entire process of RNA m6A modification. | Jinbo Huang Xu Dong Zhou Gong Ling-Yun Qin Shuai Yang Yue-Ling Zhu Xiang Wang Delin Zhang Tingting Zou Ping Yin Chun Tang | 2019 | Protein & Cell2019，10，4： | 11 |
| 2 | Coaxial-printed small-diameter polyelectrolyte-based tubes with an electrostatic self-assembly of heparin and YIGSR peptide for antithrombogenicity and endothelialization显示文摘Low patency ratio of small-diameter vascular grafts remains a major challenge due to the occurrence of thrombosis formation and intimal hyperplasia after transplantation.Although developing the functional coating with release of bioactive molecules on the surface of small-diameter vascular grafts are reported as an effective strategy to improve their patency ratios,it is still difficult for current functional coatings cooperating with spatiotemporal control of bioactive molecules release to mimic the sequential requirements for antithrombogenicity and endothelialization.Herein,on basis of 3D-printed polyelectrolyte-based vascular grafts,a biologically inspired release system with sequential release in spatiotemporal coordination of dual molecules through an electrostatic self-assembly was first described.A series of tubes with tunable diameters were initially fabricated by a coaxial extrusion printing method with customized nozzles,in which a polyelectrolyte ink containing of ε-polylysine and sodium alginate was used.Further,dual bioactive molecules,heparin with negative charges and Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg(YIGSR)peptide with positive charges were layer-by-layer assembled onto the surface of these 3D-printed tubes.Due to the electrostatic interaction,the sequential release of heparin and YIGSR was demonstrated and could construct a dynamic microenvironment that was thus conducive to the antithrombogenicity and endothelialization.This study opens a new avenue to fabricate a small-diameter vascular graft with a biologically inspired release system based on electrostatic interaction,revealing a huge potential for development of small-diameter artificial vascular grafts with good patency. | Zhiwen Zeng Chengshen Hu Qingfei Liang Lan Tang Delin Cheng Changshun Ruan | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021，6，6： | 3 |

| 4 | Strategic design of lysine-targeted irreversible covalent NDM-1 inhibitors显示文摘New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1(NDM-1) can hydrolyze most β-lactam antibiotics, which is the major factor for drug resistance of Gram-negative bacteria. The binding of most reversible inhibitors to NDM-1 is relatively weak due to the shallow active pocket of NDM-1. Alternatively, irreversible covalent inhibitors can prevent their dissociation from the target, leading to permanent inactivation of the protein.Herein, we report a series of irreversible covalent inhibitors of NDM-1 targeting the conserved Lys211 in the active pocket. Several methods, including mass spectrometry, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, fluorescent labeling, and coumarin probe were used to demonstrate that pentafluorophenyl ester formed a covalent bond with Lys211. Moreover, our target inhibitor, in combination with meropenem, achieved an antibacterial effect on drug-resistant bacteria, along with an excellent safety profile. Our new strategy in designing lysine-targeted irreversible covalent NDM-1 inhibitors provides a potential option for the clinical treatment of Gram-negative bacteria. | Youzhen Ma Yongxi Liang Menglu Guo Delin Min Lulu Zheng Yun Tang Xun Sun | 2023 | Chinese Chemical Letters2023，34，7： | 0 |
