Pre-pregnancy maternal obesity associates with endoplasmic reticulum stress in human umbilical vein endothelium [PDF]
Obesity associates with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced endothelial dysfunction. Pregnant women with pre-pregnancy maternal obesity (PGMO) may transfer this potential risk to their offspring; however, whether ER stress occurs and associates

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Induced Proliferation Remains Intact in Aging Mouse β-Cells
Aging is associated with loss of proliferation of the insulin-secreting β-cell, a possible contributing factor to the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the elderly.

Drug hypersensitivity caused by alteration of the MHC-presented self-peptide repertoire [PDF]
Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions are unpredictable, dose independent and potentially life threatening; this makes them a major factor contributing to the cost and uncertainty of drug development. Clinical data suggest that many such reactions involve

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Natural killer cell response to chemotherapy-stressed cancer cells: Role in tumor immunosurveillance. [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphoid cells that actively prevent neoplastic development, growth, and metastatic dissemination in a process called cancer immunosurveillance.

In this study, we present the structure of AcrIE8.1, a previously uncharacterized anti‐CRISPR protein that inhibits the type I‐E CRISPR‐Cas system. Through a combination of structural and biochemical analyses, we demonstrate that AcrIE8.1 directly binds to the Cas11 subunit of the Cascade complex to inhibit the CRISPR‐Cas system.

The trans-activation domain of the sporulation response regulator Spo0A revealed by X-ray crystallography [PDF]
Sporulation in Bacillus involves the induction of scores of genes in a temporally and spatially co-ordinated programme of cell development. Its initiation is under the control of an expanded two-component signal transduction system termed a phosphorelay.
