ACSS2 involved in acetyl‐CoA synthesis regulates skeletal muscle function
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The enzyme acyl‐coenzyme A synthetase short‐chain family member‐2 (ACSS2) catalyzes the conversion of acetate to acetyl‐CoA, but its function in skeletal muscle is unclear. We studied ACSS2 deficiency in mouse and fly models. Skeletal muscle from the mouse model showed atrophic fibers, excess lipid, and depleted NADH.

Frontiers in GeneticsDrosophila melanogaster has been at the forefront of genetic studies and biochemical modeling for over a century. Yet, the functions of many genes are still unknown, mainly because no phenotypic data are available.

Drosophila as a Genetic Model for Hematopoiesis
Genetics, 2019 In this FlyBook chapter, we present a survey of the current literature on the development of the hematopoietic system in Drosophila. The Drosophila blood system consists entirely of cells that function in innate immunity, tissue integrity, wound healing,

A working model for cytoplasmic assembly of H/ACA snoRNPs
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Dyskerin is the component of nuclear H/ACA ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) endowed with pseudouridine synthase catalytic activity. Two isoforms of human dyskerin have been characterized: the abundant Iso1, mainly nuclear, and the shorter Iso3, mainly cytoplasmic but occasionally imported into nuclei.

Phytomedicine Plus, 2021 Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta of the mid brain which leads to the depletion of dopamine levels.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mutations in the C9orf72 gene represent the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Using patient‐derived neurons and C. elegans models, we find that the nucleoporin Nup107 is dysregulated in C9orf72‐associated ALS. Conversely, reducing Nup107 levels mitigates disease‐related changes.

Basal mitophagy is widespread in Drosophila but minimally affected by loss of Pink1 or parkin
bioRxiv, 2018 Parkinson’s disease factors, PINK1 and parkin, are strongly implicated in stress-induced mitophagy in vitro, but little is known about their impact on basal mitophagy in vivo.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase, RNF219, suppresses CNOT6L expression to exhibit antiproliferative activity
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We identified RNF219 as a CCR4‐NOT complex‐interacting E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets the CCR4‐NOT subunit CNOT6L for ubiquitination. RNF219 directly binds to the DUF3819 domain of CNOT1 through its putative α‐helix spanning amino acids 521–542. Our findings also suggest that antiproliferative activity of RNF219 is at least partially mediated by ...
