SUMOylation is not a prerequisite for HSF1’s role in stress protection and transactivation
DNA construct
All HSF1 mutants were derived from the human HSF1 sequence (NM_005526.4) and cloned into the pDONR221 vector using the Gateway cloning system (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). SBP-SUMO1 and SBP-SUMO2 constructs were…

Multiomics and cellular senescence profiling of aging human skeletal muscle uncovers Maraviroc as a senotherapeutic approach for sarcopenia
Multiomics mapping of senescence atlas in human muscle
To gain the first senescence blueprint of mononucleated cells in aging human muscle, we obtained hamstring muscles from biopsies of 10 male donors: five young (19–27 years-old males who…

Comparative genome analyses reveal insights into the marine adaptation of a novel bacterium Pontimicrobium maritimus sp. nov., isolated from seawater
Novel strain isolation and morphology
As a part of the Korean West Sea microbial diversity project, strain SW4T was isolated from seawater. The isolate grew optimally on MA, producing yellow, round colonies. SEM images revealed that the cells of…
