Chromosome instability induced by a single defined sister chromatid fusionNewly developed Fusion Visualization (FuVis) system reveals a single Xp sister chromatid fusion induces micronuclei formation, acentric chromosome fragments, and cell cycle instabilities.
Plasmodium DEH is ER-localized and crucial for oocyst mitotic division during malaria transmissionPlasmodium DEH localizes to the ER, with gene deletion resulting in degeneration of developing oocysts and complete ablation of sporogony in the mosquito midgut, blocking transmission.
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.
Inhibition of a transcriptional repressor rescues hearing in a splicing factor–deficient mouseThe vital role of the splicing factor SRRM4 in vestibular and inner hair cells of the ear is inactivation of the gene repressor REST; however, in outer hair cells, SRRM4 is dispensable for REST inactivation, which SRRM3 accomplishes independently.
Brain is an endocrine organ through secretion and nuclear transfer of parathymosinThe hypothalamus and brain neurons orchestrate the secretion and nuclear transfer of PTMS which is neuroprotective against aging-related disorders.
Incipient sympatric speciation in wild barley caused by geological-edaphic divergenceSympatric speciation is still contentious but here based on genome-wide analysis; we show incipient sympatric speciation of an emerging new wild barley species from Hordeum spontaneum, the progenitor of all cultivated barleys at “Evolution Plateau” (EP), Upper Galilee, Israel.
Role of opioid signaling in kidney damage during the development of salt-induced hypertensionStimulation of kappa opioid receptors modulates calcium influx via TRPC6 channels in podocytes, which ultimately compromises the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier and promotes a marked worsening of blood pressure control and renal damage.
A double role of the Gal80 N terminus in activation of transcription by Gal4pActivation of gene expression by Gal4p in K. lactis requires an element in the N terminus of KlGal80p that mediates nuclear co-import of KlGal1p and galactokinase inhibition to support the co-inducer function of KlGal1p.
In vivo CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen: TCEAL1 silencing enhances docetaxel efficacy in prostate cancerA whole genome in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 screen identifies TCEAL1 as a potential target to sensitise prostate cancer cells to docetaxel to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy.
Neurturin regulates the lung-resident macrophage inflammatory response to viral infectionThe neurotrophic factor RET is induced in lung macrophages by viral triggers and activation via its ligand neurturin regulates matrix proteins and cytokines that shape the inflammatory response.
