Heterozygous loss of function of IQSEC2/Iqsec2 leads to increased activated Arf6 and severe neurocognitive seizure phenotype in femalesWe show that the loss of Iqsec2 function in mice recapitulates key aspects of the human phenotype, irrespective of the X-inactivation status of the gene between species. Our understanding of the traditional X-chromosome inheritance with heterozygous female sparing needs revisiting.
Plasmalogen loss caused by remodeling deficiency in mitochondria31P NMR unveils cell type–dependent losses of plasmalogen in the chain remodeling–deficient brain, liver, kidney, and lymphoblast in association with aberrant mitochondrial function and morphology.
A molecule inducing androgen receptor degradation and selectively targeting prostate cancer cellsA new molecule induces AR sumoylation and degradation resulting in selective growth inhibition in AR-dependent prostate cancer cells, but its activity is blunted by interference with proteasomes.
KAP1 is an antiparallel dimer with a functional asymmetryThis study reveals the architecture of human KAP1 by integrating molecular modeling with small-angle X-ray scattering and single-molecule experiments. KAP1 dimers feature a structural asymmetry at the C-terminal domains that has functional implications for recruitment of HP1.
Targeted variant detection using unaligned RNA-Seq readsThis study introduces km, an approach leveraging k-mer decomposition to identify targeted mutations. It can detect single-base mutations, insertions and deletions, as well as fusions. An analysis of over 10,000 RNA-seq samples shows fast mutation detection via km.
MITOL deletion in the brain impairs mitochondrial structure and ER tethering leading to oxidative stressMITOL deletion in mouse brain impairs the morphology and ER tethering of mitochondria, resulting in enhanced oxidative stress. This study suggests a relationship between morphological abnormalities of mitochondria and developmental disorder.
About Life Science Alliance
Life Science Alliance is a new international, open-access, editorially independent, and peer-reviewed journal launched by an alliance of three preeminent scientific organizations: EMBO, Rockefeller University, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Life Science Alliance is committed to the rapid, fair, and transparent publication of research papers, resources, and new methods from the full spectrum of life science and biomedical research.
