Somatic mutational landscape in von Hippel–Lindau familial hemangioblastoma
The causes of central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma in Von Hippel–Lindau (vHL) disease are unclear. We used Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on familial hemangioblastoma to investigate events that underlie tumor development. Our findings suggest that VHL loss creates a permissive environment for tumor formation, while additional alterations ...

Cloning and analysis of genome of transmissible gastroenteritis virus SC-Y strain
Sixteen pair of primers covering the whole genome of TGEV were devised according to the published sequences, 16 cDNA fragments were amplified by RT-PCR. The amplified fragments were further cloned and sequenced. The genome of SC-Y strain was assembled by

Stochastic kinetics of ribosomes: single motor properties and collective behavior [PDF]
Synthesis of protein molecules in a cell are carried out by ribosomes. A ribosome can be regarded as a molecular motor which utilizes the input chemical energy to move on a messenger RNA (mRNA) track that also serves as a template for the polymerization ...

Ixazomib inhibits proteasome‐mediated degradation of topoisomerase I induced by irinotecan, thereby restoring drug sensitivity and promoting tumor cell death in colorectal cancer. Irinotecan, a topoisomerase I (topoI) inhibitor, is widely used for colorectal cancer, but resistance remains a major clinical challenge.

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations of β-Thalassemia Mutations in an Azerbaijani Population
β-Thalassemia is the most common inherited disorder in Azerbaijan. The aim of our study was to reveal genotype-to-phenotype correlations of the most common β-thalassemia mutations in an Azerbaijani population. Patients with codon 8 (-AA), IVS-I-

Mechanism of Virus Attenuation by Codon Pair Deoptimization
Summary: Codon pair deoptimization is an efficient virus attenuation strategy, but the mechanism that leads to attenuation is unknown. The strategy involves synthetic recoding of viral genomes that alters the positions of synonymous codons, thereby ...

Optimized expression of the Starmerella bombicola lactone esterase in Pichia pastoris through temperature adaptation, codon-optimization and co-expression with HAC1 [PDF]
The Starmerella bombicola lactone esterase (SBLE) is a novel enzyme that, in vivo, catalyzes the intramolecular esterification (lactonization) of acidic sophorolipids in an aqueous environment.

HIV‐1 establishes immediate latency in T cells expressing the viral Nef protein
Nef is a viral protein often omitted from HIV‐1 reporter viruses. Consequently, its role in viral latency is unclear. We developed three novel dual reporter HIV‐1 derivatives that express Nef and allow for detection of latent and productive infection. Using these reporters, we show that Nef does not affect the establishment of immediate viral latency ...

Ordering events in a developing genetic code
Preexisting partial genetic codes can fuse to evolve towards the complete Standard Genetic Code (SGC). Such code fusion provides a path of ‘least selection’, readily generating precursor codes that resemble the SGC.

Control of ribosome traffic by position-dependent choice of synonymous codons
Messenger RNA encodes a sequence of amino acids by using codons. For most amino acids there are multiple synonymous codons that can encode the amino acid.
