Mitigation of off-target toxicity in CRISPR-Cas9 screens for essential non-coding elements. [PDF]
Pooled CRISPR-Cas9 screens are a powerful method for functionally characterizing regulatory elements in the non-coding genome, but off-target effects in these experiments have not been systematically evaluated.

Cell surface interactome analysis identifies TSPAN4 as a negative regulator of PD‐L1 in melanoma
Using cell surface proximity biotinylation, we identified tetraspanin TSPAN4 within the PD‐L1 interactome of melanoma cells. TSPAN4 negatively regulates PD‐L1 expression and lateral mobility by limiting its interaction with CMTM6 and promoting PD‐L1 degradation.

SpCas9-expression by tumor cells can cause T cell-dependent tumor rejection in immunocompetent mice
The CRISPR/Cas9 system has recently emerged as a highly efficient modality in genetic engineering and has been widely considered for various therapeutic applications. However, since the effector protein, SpCas9, has a bacterial origin, its immunogenicity

Impact of functional studies on exome sequence variant interpretation in early-onset cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]
Aims The genetic cause of cardiac conduction system disease (CCSD) has not been fully elucidated. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can detect various genetic variants; however, the identification of pathogenic variants remains a challenge.

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin
The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.

Identification of novel components of the Ced and Ups systems in Saccharolobus islandicus REY15A
In Sulfolobales cells, transcription of the Ups (UV‐inducible pili of Sulfolobus) and Ced (Crenarchaeal system for exchange of DNA) genes is highly induced by DNA damage, and the two systems play key roles in pili‐mediated cell aggregation and ...

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Spontaneous Embedding of DNA Mismatches Within the RNA:DNA Hybrid of CRISPR-Cas9. [PDF]
CRISPR-Cas9 is the forefront technology for editing the genome. In this system, the Cas9 protein is programmed with guide RNAs to process DNA sequences that match the guide RNA forming an RNA:DNA hybrid structure.
