Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Selenium supplementation suppresses immunological and serological features of lupus in B6.Sle1b mice

Autoimmunity, 2019
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a debilitating multi-factorial immunological disorder characterized by increased inflammation and development of anti-nuclear autoantibodies.

Disruption of SETD3‐mediated histidine‐73 methylation by the BWCFF‐associated β‐actin G74S mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The β‐actin G74S mutation causes altered interaction of actin with SETD3, reducing histidine‐73 methylation efficiency and forming two distinct actin variants. The variable ratio of these variants across cell types and developmental stages contributes to tissue‐specific phenotypical changes. This imbalance may impair actin dynamics and mechanosensitive

The role of B cell-activating factor system in autoimmune diseases: mechanisms, disease implications, and therapeutic advances

Frontiers in Immunology
The B cell-activating factor (BAFF) system, comprising two ligands and three receptors, plays a pivotal role in adaptive and innate immunity, driving autoimmunity through dysregulated B and T cell survival, differentiation, and cytokine production.

DETERMINING REFERENCE RANGES FOR TREC AND KREC ASSAYS IN IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SCREENING OF NEWBORNS IN RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Медицинская иммунология, 2019
In this work, we used a reference population of newborns and sampled dried blood spots on Guthrie cards of 2,739 individual samples to determine the reference intervals for TRECs and KRECs values, in order to diagnose primary immunodeficiency by means of

Purification tags markedly affect self‐aggregation of CPEB3

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Although recombinant proteins are used to study protein aggregation in vitro, uncleaved tags can interfere with accurate interpretation. Our findings demonstrate that His₆‐GFP and His₁₂ tags significantly affect liquid droplet and amyloid fibril formation in the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of mouse cytoplasmic polyadenylation element‐binding ...

Antigen specific B cells in myasthenia gravis patients

Immunological Medicine, 2020
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease caused by pathogenic autoantibodies against the neuromuscular junction and is characterized by muscle weakness. Most MG patients produce antibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), but a subset of patients ...

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

The B cell antigen receptor in B-cell development

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1994
During B-cell development, immature and mature forms of the B cell antigen receptor complex are deployed in a regulated fashion; thus, B cell antigen receptor complexes play essential roles in the transit of cells through ontogeny. The past year has seen progress in our understanding of how antigen receptor gene assembly is controlled and in defining ...

Insights into pegRNA design from editing of the cardiomyopathy‐associated phospholamban R14del mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) secondary structure and reverse transcriptase template length affect prime editing efficiency in correcting the phospholamban R14del cardiomyopathy‐associated mutation. Insights support the design of structurally optimized enhanced pegRNAs for precise gene therapy.
