multicrispr: gRNA design for prime editing and parallel targeting of thousands of targetsA bioinformatics R package for a fast and generic guideRNA design, optimized for large-scale perturbation assays.
Folding–function relationship of the most common cystic fibrosis–causing CFTR conductance mutantsThe tight correlation between folding and function in cystic fibrosis patients with CFTR mutations of the altered-conductance CFTR class provides an attractive paradigm for characterizing mode of action of novel therapeutics.
m6A-mRNA methylation regulates cardiac gene expression and cellular growthThis study provides evidence that m6A methylation is dynamically regulated during human and murine cardiac disease and highlights an important role of the m6A methylase Mettl3 in regulating cardiac growth by gene expression control.
FAM83F regulates canonical Wnt signalling through an interaction with CK1αFAM83F directs CK1α to the plasma membrane, and through its association with CK1α, FAM83F mediates canonical Wnt signalling.
Optimized ChIP-seq method facilitates transcription factor profiling in human tumorsThis study presents an optimized ChIP-seq protocol to enhance transcription factor profiling in human tumours, enabling the analysis of highly challenging samples, including core needle biopsies.
Cx3cr1-deficient microglia exhibit a premature aging transcriptomeGyoneva et al use RNA-seq to show that Cx3cr1-deficient microglia in young mice display a gene expression profile similar to microglia in aged mice, suggesting premature microglial aging.
Oxidised metabolites of the omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid activate dFOXOOxidised omega-6 fatty acids activate the FOXO transducers of the Insulin signaling pathway potentially linking changes in dietary fatty acid balance and proinflammatory states with insulin resistance.
Myocardial infarction affects Cx43 content of extracellular vesicles secreted by cardiomyocytesUbiquitin signals the sorting of Cx43 into EVs, which is impaired during ischemia, resulting in decreased levels of Cx43 in cardiomyocyte-derived and circulating EVs from myocardial infarcted patients.
Implications for tetraspanin-enriched microdomain assembly based on structures of CD9 with EWI-FCrystal and single-particle cryo-EM structures reveal how the tetraspanin CD9 interacts with its prototypical partner EWI-F and provide a new concatenation model for the assembly of tetraspanin-enriched microdomains.
RNA exosome mutations in pontocerebellar hypoplasia alter ribosome biogenesis and p53 levelsThe work highlights the link between dysfunction of the RNA exosome, ribosome biogenesis, p53-dependent signalling, and apoptosis. Pontocerebellar hypoplasia caused by mutations of the exosome subunits could be classified as a ribosomopathy.
