The Complexities and Nuances of Analyzing the Genome of Drosophila ananassae and Its Wolbachia Endosymbiont

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
In “Retrotransposons Are the Major Contributors to the Expansion of the Drosophila ananassae Muller F Element,” Leung et al. (2017) improved contigs attributed to the Muller F element from the original CAF1 assembly, and used them to conclude that most ...

The structure of Yersinia pestis Caf1 polymer in free and adjuvant bound states

open access: yes
Caf1 of the plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis is a polymeric virulence factor and vaccine component. formed from monomers by a donor strand exchange (DSE) mechanism. Here. EM images of Caf1 reveal flexible polymers up to 1 5 mu m long (4 MDa).

Development and evaluation of loop-mediated isothermal amplification for detection of Yersinia pestis in plague biological samples.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
BACKGROUND:Several tests are available for plague confirmation but bacteriological culture with Yersinia pestis strain isolation remains the gold standard according to the World Health Organization.

The Not4 E3 ligase and CCR4 deadenylase play distinct roles in protein quality control. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Eukaryotic cells control their proteome by regulating protein production and protein clearance. Protein production is determined to a large extent by mRNA levels, whereas protein degradation depends mostly upon the proteasome.

Myofibroblast‐Like CAFs in Metastatic Lymph Nodes Drive Tumor Stemness and Poor Prognosis in Head and Neck Cancer

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Compared with PT‐CAFs, LN‐CAFs exhibited a myofibroblast‐like phenotype, enhanced tumor stemness‐promoting activity, and fibrosis‐, EMT‐, and hypoxia‐related transcriptomic signatures. LN‐CAF‐related gene signatures were independently associated with poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Engineered Caf1 Constructs Encoding Laminin-332 Motifs: A Novel Approach for Enhanced Cutaneous Wound Healing.

open access: yesBritish Journal of Dermatology
BACKGROUND Laminin-332 is a key extracellular matrix (ECM) protein that supports keratinocyte adhesion, migration, and re-epithelialisation during wound healing.

Multilevel interrogation of H3.3 reveals a primordial role in transcription regulation

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin, 2023
Background Eukaryotic cells can rapidly adjust their transcriptional profile in response to molecular needs. Such dynamic regulation is, in part, achieved through epigenetic modifications and selective incorporation of histone variants into chromatin. H3.

The RNA‐Binding Protein PARN Remodeled 3′ UTR Structure Defines Poly(A)‐Loading Sites to Mediate Immunoglobulin Homeostasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Class Switch Recombination (CSR) is essential for generating high‐affinity antibody isotypes from IgM during adaptive humoral responses. Despite well‐established roles for various transcription factors, whether CSR is subject to dedicated post‐transcriptional control represents a significant gap in knowledge.

CAF-1 is essential for heterochromatin organization in pluripotent embryonic cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2006
During mammalian development, chromatin dynamics and epigenetic marking are important for genome reprogramming. Recent data suggest an important role for the chromatin assembly machinery in this process. To analyze the role of chromatin assembly factor 1

CEBPG‐Mediated Palmitic Acid Adaptation of Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts Drives Metastasis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.
This study reveals a metabolic signaling axis in the OSCC microenvironment where palmitic acid (PA) drives the activation of CAFs. PA uptake triggers CEBPG‐dependent epigenetic remodeling to upregulate ERN1 and TMBIM6, thereby mitigating ER stress. This adaptive program sustains CAF survival and the pro‐metastatic phenotype, establishing this pathway ...
