Translation termination depends on the sequential ribosomal entry of eRF1 and eRF3.

open access: yes, 2019
Translation termination requires eRF1 and eRF3 for polypeptide-and tRNA-release on stop codons. Additionally, Dbp5/DDX19 and Rli1/ABCE1 are required; however, their function in this process is currently unknown.

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

Cryptorchidism: Novel genetic insights into CCDC149 mutations

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cryptorchidism, characterized by the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum, is a common congenital condition that can lead to infertility and increased risk of testicular cancer. CCDC149, a coiled‐coil domain‐containing protein, has been implicated in various developmental processes, but its role in the male ...

Stop that nonsense!

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Cells can avoid the effects of so-called ‘nonsense’ mutations by several methods, including a newly discovered mechanism driven by microRNA molecules.

Three phases in the evolution of the standard genetic code: how translation could get started [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A primordial genetic code is proposed, having only four codons assigned, GGC meaning glycine, GAC meaning aspartate/glutamate, GCC meaning alanine-like and GUC meaning valine-like.

Identification and functional validation of a novel disease‐causing variant in the noncoding region of NYX

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, with ~30% of cases remaining genetically unsolved. Complete congenital stationary night blindness (cCSNB) is a subtype of IRD, usually associated with reduced visual acuity, nystagmus and high myopia.

Novel Mutation in the TSC2 Gene Associated with Prenatally Diagnosed Cardiac Rhabdomyomas and Cerebral Tuberous Sclerosis

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2006
Cardiac rhabdomyomas are prenatal echocardiographic markers for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). TSC is caused by mutations in the genes TSC1 and TSC2.

Leveraging paired germline and somatic analysis to improve the classification of DDX41 variants

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Constitutional pathogenic variants in DDX41 predispose to myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukaemia. Acquisition of subsequent somatic hits in the second allele is frequent, with notable recurrent variants at key hotspots. Sequencing of Deoxyribonucleic acid from blood/marrow of 239 patients with suspected/confirmed haematological malignancies
