We discovered that the proteostasis modulating transcription factor Nrf1 requires cytosolic de-N-glycosylation by the N-glycanase NGly1 as part of its activation mechanism. Through a covalent small molecule library screen, we discovered an inhibitor of NGly1 that blocks Nrf1 activation in cells and potentiates the activity of proteasome inhibitor cancer drugs. The requirement of NGly1 for Nrf1 activity likely underlies several pathologies associated with a rare hereditary deficiency in NGly1.

<p>Selectively targeting cell nucleolus remains a challenge. Here we report the first case that D-peptides form membraneless molecular condensates with RNA for targeting cell nucleolus. A D-peptide derivative, enriched with lysine and hydrophobic residues, self-assembles to form nanoparticles, which enter cells through clathrin dependent endocytosis and mainly accumulate at cell nucleolus. Structural analogue of the D-peptide reveals that particle morphology of the assemblies, which depends on the side chain modification, favors the cellular uptake. Contrasting to those of the D-peptide, the assemblies of the corresponding L-enantiomer largely localize in cell lysosomes. Preliminary mechanism study suggests that the D-peptide nanoparticles interact with RNA to form membraneless condensates in the nucleolus, which further induces DNA damage and results in cell death. This work illustrates a new strategy for rationally designing supramolecular assemblies of D-peptides for targeting subcellular organelles.</p>

The article examines the problems of private medicine in the health care system of the country. The aim of the article is to determine the structural components of the mechanism of activation of the private medical sector as a reserve for the provision of quality and affordable medical services and a driver for the development of the medical industry. The descriptive-analytical method, methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, statistical, analysis and scientific generalization were used in the paper. The study substantiates the strengthening of the role of the private medical sector in the health care management system. The key problems of the domestic private medical sector and the restraining factors of its development are identified. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop a mechanism to promote the development of private medicine through a policy of active change in the health care system. The directions of activation of the private medical sector as a target reference point in the process of determining the structural elements of the organizational and economic mechanism are outlined. The structural detail of the mechanism of activation of the private medical sector for optimization of the health care system is offered. The practical significance of the obtained results is that the results of the research presented in the article are a practical basis for the development and improvement of mechanisms of public administration in the field of health care.
