- The CCR4–NOT complex maintains liver homeostasis through mRNA deadenylation
The CCR4–NOT complex maintains liver homeostasis by fine-tuning levels of mRNAs, including those for transcription factors, cell cycle regulators, DNA damage response proteins, and liver function–related molecules.
- Genetic and molecular characterization of multicomponent resistance of Pseudomonas against allicin
A pseudomonad isolated from garlic has multiple copies of genes on three genomic islands that confer resistance to allicin, a secondary plant product and defense substance that causes disulfide stress.
- CDKL3 promotes osteosarcoma progression by activating Akt/PKB
This study demonstrates that CDKL3 regulates Akt activation and its downstream targets to promote OS progression, creating a therapeutically targetable vulnerability in treatment of OS.
- Mylk3 null C57BL/6N mice develop cardiomyopathy, whereas Nnt null C57BL/6J mice do not
Genetic differences between C57BL/6 substrains lead to different cardiovascular traits; a null mutation in Mylk3 likely causes cardiomyopathy in C57BL/6N mice, whereas C57BL/6J Nnt-null mice do not develop cardiomyopathy.
- A novel class of polymorphic toxins in Bacteroidetes
Bacteria often use toxins to mediate their interaction with the environment. This study reveals a new class of polymorphic toxins, which contain an N-terminal TANFOR domain, in Bacteroidetes.
- CSDE1 controls gene expression through the miRNA-mediated decay machinery
CSDE1 is a new component of miRNA-induced silencing complex and interacts with DCP1–DCP2 decapping machinery with potential roles in miRNA-mediated target degradation.
- BACH family members regulate angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis by modulating VEGFC expression
Our work highlights BACH family of transcription factors as a novel regulator of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis during zebrafish embryonic development and tumor expansion.
- Structures of SALSA/DMBT1 SRCR domains reveal the conserved ligand-binding mechanism of the ancient SRCR fold
The structures of SALSA SRCR domains 1 and 8 reveal a cation-dependent mechanism for ligand recognition, contributing to important roles in the immune system and cellular signalling. The cation-binding sites are conserved across all SRCR domains, suggesting conserved functional mechanisms.
- Keratinocyte interleukin-36 receptor expression orchestrates psoriasiform inflammation in mice
IL-36 stimulation of keratinocytes orchestrates key pathogenic inflammatory responses in psoriatic skin.
- Splicing of enhancer-associated lincRNAs contributes to enhancer activity
Analysis of enhancer-associated lincRNA transcripts shows their efficient and conserved splicing contributes to cognate enhancer activity and cis-regulation of target gene expression.
