Meiotic sex chromosome cohesion and autosomal synapsis are supported by Esco2This study reveals a role for the cohesin modifier ESCO2 for maintenance of sister chromatid cohesion in mammalian meiosis and a specific weakness of cohesion within male sex chromosome chromatin
Caspase-1 interdomain linker cleavage is required for pyroptosisThe related human NLRP1 and CARD8 form ASC-dependent and ASC-independent inflammasomes, respectively, both of which require pro-caspase-1 interdomain linker processing for the induction of pyroptosis.
The health status alters the pituitary function and reproduction of mice in a Cxcr2-dependent mannerThis study explores the effects of microbiota on reproductive function of Cxcr2 knockout animals. Cxcr2 is involved in the control of pituitary action and the subsequent development of mammary gland, uterus and ovary.
The stress polarity signaling (SPS) pathway serves as a marker and a target in the leaky gut barrier: implications in aging and cancerUsing patient-derived organoids the authors show how a specialized polarity pathway protects our gut barrier from stress-induced collapse. Findings highlight both diagnostic and therapeutic potential of the pathway for treating gut barrier dysfunction in aging, cancer, and dysbiosis.
Essential role of the Crk family-dosage in DiGeorge-like anomaly and metabolic homeostasisThis study presents evidence that CRK/CRKL and TBX1 may share pathways that participate in organogenesis affected in DiGeorge syndrome (22q11.2DS) via global control of gene expression and metabolism
ER-resident sensor PERK is essential for mitochondrial thermogenesis in brown adipose tissueThe endoplasmic reticulum-resident sensor PERK is phosphorylated during brown adipocyte differentiation and is required for mitochondrial inner membrane protein biogenesis and thermogenic function.
Gammaherpesvirus-infected germinal center cells express a distinct immunoglobulin repertoireGerminal center B cells infected with gammaherpesvirus display altered repertoire with biased usage of lambda light chain and skewed utilization of IGHV genes.
Site-specific phosphorylation regulates the functions of kindlin-3 in a variety of cellsA new monoclonal antibody in combination with mutational analyses shows that a single serine phosphorylation in kindlin-3 is functionally important in both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells.
Metabolic reprogramming of fibro/adipogenic progenitors facilitates muscle regenerationHigh-fat diet ameliorates muscle dystrophic phenotype by promoting the FAP-dependent myogenesis of satellite cells.
Retrograde trafficking of Argonaute 2 acts as a rate-limiting step for de novo miRNP formation on endoplasmic reticulum–attached polysomes in mammalian cellsIntracellular trafficking of Argonaute 2 controls de novo miRNP formation on endoplasmic reticulum–attached polysomes in mammalian cells.
