Protocol for Reconstituting Adaptor‐Mediated Activation of Full‐Length Kinesin‐1

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kinesin‐1 is a member of the kinesin superfamily that plays an essential role in intracellular cargo transport. In the absence of cargo, Kinesin‐1 exhibits low motor activity due to autoinhibition. Multiple studies have demonstrated that adaptor proteins, which link cargos to Kinesin‐1, can activate Kinesin‐1 by releasing the autoinhibition ...

Fibulin-5 mutations link inherited neuropathies, age-related macular degeneration and hyperelastic skin [PDF]

, 2017
To identify the disease-causing gene responsible for an autosomal dominantly inherited Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy subtype in a family excluded for mutations in the common Charcot-Marie-Tooth genes, we used array-based sequence capture to ...

Clinical and molecular features and therapeutic perspectives of spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 [PDF]

, 2015
Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress (SMARD1) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the IGHMBP2 gene, encoding the immunoglobulin μ-binding protein 2, leading to motor neuron degeneration.

Canonical and non‐canonical functions of proteins regulating mitochondrial dynamics in mammalian physiology

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Oral high dose ascorbic acid treatment for one year in young CMT1A patients: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II trial

BMC Medicine, 2009
Background High dose oral ascorbic acid substantially improved myelination and locomotor function in a Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A mouse model. A phase II study was warranted to investigate whether high dose ascorbic acid also has such a substantial ...

Expression of mitofusin 2R94Q in a transgenic mouse leads to Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 2A [PDF]

, 2017
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A is an autosomal dominant axonal form of peripheral neuropathy caused by mutations in the mitofusin 2 gene. Mitofusin 2 encodes a mitochondrial outer membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion in ...

A study of physical activity comparing people with Charcot Marie Tooth disease to normal control subjects [PDF]

, 2016
PURPOSE: Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) describes a group of hereditary neuropathies that present with distal weakness, wasting and sensory loss. Small studies indicate that people with CMT have reduced daily activity levels.

Variant Prioritization by Pedigree‐Based Haplotyping

Genetic Epidemiology, Volume 50, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole genome sequence (WGS) data provides opportunities for comprehensive evaluation of variants that may influence complex traits. However, prioritizing the large number of variants, particularly those in non‐coding regions, is a challenge.

PDXK‐Related Neuropathy: A Case With a Novel Splice‐Altering Missense Variant and Literature Review

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
We report a patient carrying a novel missense variant c.826G>C, p.(Ala276Pro) found in compound heterozygous state with a previously reported variant in the PDXK gene. In silico analysis and our functional studies showed that the novel variant disrupts splicing, which leads to degradation of the aberrant transcript, thereby extending the known disease ...
