Plakophilin-1, a Novel Wnt Signaling Regulator, Is Critical for Tooth Development and Ameloblast Differentiation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Tooth morphogenesis is initiated by reciprocal interactions between the ectoderm and neural crest-derived mesenchyme, and the Wnt signaling pathway is involved in this process.

The E‐cadherin‐Wnt‐mir‐994 Axis Repurposes a Cadherin Switch for Niche Robustness and Germline Stem Cell Maintenance

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
In the Drosophila ovarian niche, an E‐cadherin‐to‐N‐cadherin switch, mediated by Wnt‐mir‐994 signalling, is repurposed to ensure niche resilience. This compensatory mechanism maintains niche integrity and stem cell support upon E‐cadherin loss, revealing a robustness circuit.

Expression of p120-Catenin Isoforms Correlates with Genomic and Transcriptional Phenotype of Breast Cancer Cell Lines

open access: yesCellular Oncology, 2007
Background: P120-catenin is a member of the Armadillo protein family, which is involved in intercellular adhesion and cell signalling. It directly interacts with the classical cadherins juxtamembrane domain and contributes for both junction formation and

Hypercortisolism: Causes, Consequences and Clinical Significance – A Review of Pathophysiology

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercortisolism or Cushing syndrome is a heterogeneous clinical spectrum caused by chronic glucocorticoid excess, ranging from exogenous Cushing syndrome to rare endogenous aetiologies and the increasingly recognised entity of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Physiological cortisol production is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic–

A new LRRK2 variant in a family with Parkinson’s disease affects binding to RAB8A

open access: yesnpj Parkinson's Disease
Pathogenic variants in the LRRK2 gene affecting catalytic domains are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Nevertheless, LRRK2 variants at the armadillo (ARM) domain would indirectly affect the protein’s activity by interacting with

Hsp70 diversification and repurposing across the tree of life: Lessons from the evolutionary and mechanistic trajectory of the Hsp70–Hsp110 chaperone system

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Evolutionary and mechanistic divergence in the Hsp70–Hsp110 chaperone system. Prokaryotic Hsp70s probably diversified into multiple orthologues that cooperated with co‐chaperones such as JDPs and NEF, forming increasingly complex proteostasis networks.

Structures of the UBR4 complex reveal a giant arena to capture diverse substrates for ubiquitin chain elongation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent structures of the UBR4 complex, a giant E4 ubiquitin ligase which recognizes proteins with pre‐existing ubiquitin modifications and marks them for degradation. The UBR4 complex uses a large arena lined with substrate interaction modules to select features on ubiquitinated substrates, such as the presence of N‐degrons or ...

MyD88‐Family Adaptors: Compartmentalised Signalling and Non‐Immune Functions

open access: yesImmunology, EarlyView.
MyD88‐family adaptors coordinate receptor‐ and compartment‐specific innate immune signalling across plasma membrane and endosomal pathways. At the plasma membrane, TIRAP/MAL supports MyD88‐dependent signalling downstream of TLR2 and TLR4, whereas endosomal TLR7, TLR8 and TLR9 recruit MyD88 directly.

35 Individuals With HUWE1‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder and Suggested Clinical Evaluations

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 9, Page 2010-2018, September 2026.
ABSTRACT HUWE1 (HECT, UBA, and WWE Domain Containing E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase1, OMIM 300697), located at Xp11.22, encodes a ubiquitin ligase that is highly conserved across species. Genetic variants in HUWE1 described in multiple independent studies cause X‐linked intellectual disability, including in the patients identified by Juberg, Marsidi, and ...

Natural variation in the atypical resistance gene Ptr confers broad‐spectrum neck blast resistance in rice

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Neck blast (NB), caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, infects rice (Oryza sativa L.) and reduces yield. Knowledge of NB resistance remains limited due to the lack of reliable resistance evaluation methods. Here, we applied a newly established neck injection method and performed a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) on 335 diverse accessions from the
