Tankyrases and Their Binding Proteins: Origins of Their Roles in Diverse Cellular Pathways

Cells
Tankyrases (TNKS1 and TNKS2) are multifunctional enzymes of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family that regulate cellular homeostasis by catalyzing poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and stabilizing protein–protein interactions through their ankyrin repeat ...

Different Transcriptional Responses to Developmental Versus Short‐Term Acclimation Temperatures in Pieris rapae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Transcriptomic data indicates that gene expression responses underlying developmental thermal plasticity differ from those of short‐term acclimation temperature in the butterfly Pieris rapae. We also identify a small subset of genes for which expression levels depend on the interaction of developmental temperature and short‐term acclimation temperature.

Neuronal Activity Promotes Node‐Like Cluster Assembly Prior to Myelination and Remyelination in the Central Nervous System

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Ronzano et al. show that neuronal activity promotes node‐like cluster (NLC) formation before (re)myelination by regulating β1Nav and Nav1.1, which are essential for NLC assembly. This may represent an intermediate step in activity‐driven myelination and contribute to the regulation of axonal conduction.

Axon Initial Segment: Structure, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
The axon initial segment (AIS) is a specialized axonal domain critical for maintaining neuronal polarity, action potential initiation, and network stability. This review summarizes the necessary elements for maintaining AIS structure and plasticity, discussing crucial biological functions of AIS in neuronal signaling and the neural circuit homeostasis,

Adipose Tissue‐Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles in Plasma Reveal Molecular Circuitries Underlying Glucose Intolerance

Obesity, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 896-907, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Glucose tolerance (GT) is a major effector for adipose tissue (AT) remodeling in obesity, yet its molecular mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We hypothesized that the biophysical and molecular profiles of AT‐derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVAT) change in response to glucose availability and differ by GT status.

Genome-wide identification of the cotton ANK gene family and functional study of GhANK169 in response to heat stress

BMC Plant Biology
Background High temperatures significantly impair the yield and quality of cotton. Ankyrin-repeat proteins (ANKs) are among the largest superfamilies of proteins in plants and play vital roles in both biotic and abiotic stress responses.

Specific targeting of human caspases using designed ankyrin repeat proteins [PDF]

, 2017
Caspases play important roles in cell death, differentiation, and proliferation. Due to their high homology, especially of the active site, specific targeting of a particular caspase using substrate analogues is very difficult.

Differential Gene Expression in Human Hippocampus With Aging

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 4, April 2026.
2 complementary analysis from a transcriptome study in human hippocampal samples of different ages revealed a set of genes differentially expressed in aged individuals linked to inflammation and immune system pathways, DNA repair (RAD23) or neural activity.

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1313-1340, April 2026.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Altered expression of an ankyrin-repeat protein results in leaf abnormalities, necrotic lesions, and the elaboration of a systemic signal [PDF]

, 2018
Summary: The PR-like proteins, class I β-1,3-glucanase (GLU I) and chitinase (CHN I), are induced as part of a stereotypic response that can provide protection against viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens.
