Unraveling in vitro phase separation and aggregation properties of the structured region of FMRP and the impact of Fragile X syndrome‐linked mutations

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP) is a multidomain RNA‐binding protein associated with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). We found that its N‐terminal structured region has an intrinsic propensity to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation and fibril formation. FXS‐associated mutations perturb protein stability and aggregation propensity, suggesting

PWO proteins are associated with PRC2 since their emergence in vascular plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a conserved histone methyltransferase complex, plays a central role in transcriptional silencing across eukaryotes. Here, we investigate the evolution of PWWP‐DOMAIN INTERACTORS OF POLYCOMBS (PWOs), which interact with PRC2, and examine the conservation of the PWOs‐PRC2 interaction across plant ...

Climate change and crop resilience: harnessing metabolomics for predicting stress tolerance

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summarised methodology for metabolite biomarker discovery and genomic targets selection for those metabolites to predict high‐throughput phenotypic and agronomic traits of interest for direct uptake in breeding programmes. Summary Global warming is driving climate change to levels not experienced since the advent of agriculture, primarily due to ...

Lactate potentiates NMDA receptor currents via an intracellular redox mechanism targeting GluN2B subunits: implications for synaptic plasticity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Astrocyte‐derived lactate enhances neuronal NMDA receptor (NMDAR) function and synaptic plasticity through a redox‐ and CaMKII‐dependent mechanism. Lactate enters neurons via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) and is oxidized by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to pyruvate, generating NADH and increasing the intracellular NADH/NAD ...

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.
