Exploring the role of N-acetyltransferases in diseases: a focus on N-acetyltransferase 9 in neurodegeneration

Neural Regeneration Research
Acetyltransferases, required to transfer an acetyl group on protein are highly conserved proteins that play a crucial role in development and disease.

Hypothalamic Control of Liver Health and Disease: From Circuits to Pathophysiology and Therapies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review delineates the hypothalamic circuits that control liver homeostasis via autonomic and neuroendocrine pathways. Dysregulation of this hypothalamus–liver axis drives disease progression across a spectrum including steatotic liver disease, liver inflammation and injury, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Identification of Novel Protein Lysine Acetyltransferases in Escherichia coli

mBio, 2018
Posttranslational modifications, such as Nε-lysine acetylation, regulate protein function. Nε-lysine acetylation can occur either nonenzymatically or enzymatically.

Human Foetal Neuroblasts Exhibit BK Channel‐Dependent Membrane Voltage Oscillations upon Depolarization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Primary cultures of neuroblasts isolated from the nucleus basalis of Meynert of 12‐weeks‐old human foetuses were prepared. Whole‐cell patch‐clamp recordings were performed by injecting a depolarizing stimulus current (+500 pA; 500 ms), and the membrane voltage recorded; this stimulus current evoked periodic‐like oscillations in membrane voltage ...

Autonomic Nerve Fiber Compositions of Zygomaticotemporal and Lacrimal Nerves: A Cadaveric Immunohistochemical Analysis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
Key Points Zygomaticotemporal (ZTN) and lacrimal nerves (LN) both carried sympathetics and parasympathetics ZTNs had more parasympathetics than LNs, but markers varied significantly within and between nerves LN parasympathetics to the lacrimal gland may mitigate dry eye after vidian ...

Ac‐SDKP modulates apoptosis via HSP27 and the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial axes

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram of Ac‐SDKP regulating the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways via HSP27. Ac‐SDKP inhibits HSP27 expression, activates the FAS/FASL pathway and Caspase‐3 signaling, increases Caspase‐8 and Caspase‐3 expression, and induces cell apoptosis.

Maternal‐Fetal Administration of Risdiplam Partially Rescues the SMNΔ7 Mouse Model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by deletions or mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene and subsequent reduction in the expression of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. The disease is characterized by degeneration of α motor neurons and subsequent muscle atrophy.

Innervation of the tubarial glands: A hypothesis‐driven anatomical review

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tubarial glands have been described as a macroscopic bilateral glandular complex in the posterolateral nasopharynx near the torus tubarius and the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube. Since their recognition on prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐based imaging, their anatomical classification has remained debated, with converging ...

A Review of the Effects of Curcumin on Histone Acetyltransferase Activity in the Prevention of Cardiac Hypertrophy

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, 2017
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Curcumin, a natural polyphenolic compound derived from the rhizome of turmeric, has a cardiovascular protective effects. Histone acetyltransferase (HAT) is a consequential enzyme in processes of cardiac hypertrophy (cardiomegaly)
