Protonophore activity of short‐chain fatty acids induces their intracellular accumulation and acidification

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...

Identification of protein coding regions in RNA transcripts [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 5th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics, 2014
Massive parallel sequencing of RNA transcripts by next-generation technology (RNA-Seq) generates critically important data for eukaryotic gene discovery. Gene finding in transcripts can be done by statistical (alignment-free) as well as by alignment-based methods.

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to

Modifications in FLAP's second cytosolic loop influence 5‐LOX interaction, inhibitor binding, and leukotriene formation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) involved in inflammatory pathophysiology. After cellular stimulation, 5‐LOX translocates to the nucleus, interacting with the 5‐LOX‐activating protein (FLAP) to form LTA4 from arachidonic acid (AA).

The complete mitochondrial genome of the jewel beetle Trachys variolaris (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the jewel beetle, Trachys variolaris, was sequenced and described. The mitogenome of T. variolaris is a typical circular DNA molecule with 16,771 bp in length.

m6A in mRNA coding regions promotes translation via the RNA helicase-containing YTHDC2

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Dynamic mRNA modification in the form of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) adds considerable richness and sophistication to gene regulation. The m6A mark is asymmetrically distributed along mature mRNAs, with approximately 35% of m6A residues located within the ...

Analysis of thePTCH coding region in human rhabdomyosarcoma [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Mutation, 2002
Inherited mutations of the human tumor suppressor gene Patched (PTCH) lead to an autosomal dominant disorder known as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS). The syndrome is characterized by a combination of developmental abnormalities and a predisposition to tumor formation.

Brucella NyxA and NyxB dimerization enhances effector function during infection

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Brucella abortus thrives inside cells thanks to the translocation of effector proteins that fine‐tune cellular functions. NyxA and NyxB are two effectors that destabilize the nucleolar localization of their host target, SENP3. We show that the Nyx proteins directly interact with each other and that their dimerization is essential for their function ...

A map of constrained coding regions in the human genome [PDF]

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2017
ABSTRACTDeep catalogs of genetic variation collected from many thousands of humans enable the detection of intraspecies constraint by revealing coding regions with a scarcity of variation. While existing techniques summarize constraint for entire genes, single metrics cannot capture the fine-scale variability in constraint within each protein-coding ...
