Nonlinearity arising from noncooperative transcription factor binding enhances negative feedback and promotes genetic oscillations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study the effects of multiple binding sites in the promoter of a genetic oscillator. We evaluate the regulatory function of a promoter with multiple binding sites in the absence of cooperative binding, and consider different hypotheses for how the ...

Nutritional and Behavioral Intervention for Long‐Term Childhood Acute Leukemia Survivors With Metabolic Syndrome

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common complication in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia (AL), and a major risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease, type‐2‐diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Accurate Reconstruction of Molecular Phylogenies for Proteins Using Codon and Amino Acid Unified Sequence Alignments (CAUSA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Based on molecular clock hypothesis, and neutral theory of molecular evolution, molecular phylogenies have been widely used for inferring evolutionary history of organisms and individual genes.

Evaluating the Genetic Overlap Between Congenital Heart Disease and Neuroblastoma Risk

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have elevated neuroblastoma (NB) risk, potentially due to shared neural crest origins. We analyzed rare exonic de novo single‐nucleotide variants in 702 CHD and 454 NB trios from the Neuroblastoma Epidemiology in North America Study, Gabriella Miller Kids First Program, and a published cohort.

Intrinsic disorder is an essential characteristic of components in the conserved circadian circuit

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2020
Introduction The circadian circuit, a roughly 24 h molecular feedback loop, or clock, is conserved from bacteria to animals and allows for enhanced organismal survival by facilitating the anticipation of the day/night cycle.

Solving the mystery of human sleep schedules one mutation at a time. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Sleep behavior remains one of the most enigmatic areas of life. The unanswered questions range from "why do we sleep?" to "how we can improve sleep in today's society?" Identification of mutations responsible for altered circadian regulation of human ...

Oncogenic NRAS Mutation in Incipient Sarcomatous Transformation of Cystic Nephroma From a Patient With DICER1‐Related Tumor Predisposition Syndrome

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anaplastic sarcoma of the kidney (ASK) is a DICER1‐associated malignant tumor presumed to arise in a benign precursor, pediatric cystic nephroma (PCN). However, the initial oncogenic alteration(s) associated with malignant transformation are unknown.

FAD Regulates CRYPTOCHROME Protein Stability and Circadian Clock in Mice

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: The circadian clock generates biological rhythms of metabolic and physiological processes, including the sleep-wake cycle. We previously identified a missense mutation in the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) binding pocket of CRYPTOCHROME2 ...

Decoupling PER phosphorylation, stability and rhythmic expression from circadian clock function by abolishing PER-CK1 interaction

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
PERIOD proteins, the core components of the mammalian circadian clock, act as the CK1 scaffold in the negative feedback process. Surprisingly, the mouse circadian clock can function independent of PER phosphorylation and PER abundance rhythms.

Plant responses to photoperiod [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Photoperiod controls many developmental responses in animals, plants and even fungi. The response to photoperiod has evolved because daylength is a reliable indicator of the time of year, enabling developmental events to be scheduled to coincide with ...
