High‐Density Lipoprotein Engineering for Eye‐Drop Treatment of Age‐Related Macular Degeneration [PDF]
, 2023 Eye-drop treatments of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are desirable; however, no clinically approved eye drop has been reported to date. This study aim to evaluate the therapeutic activity of eye-drop instillation of a high-density lipoprotein ...

Loss of Ikbkap/Elp1 in mouse oocytes causes spindle disorganization, developmental defects in preimplantation embryos and impaired female fertility [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractElongator complexes are well known to be involved in a wide variety of cellular processes; however, their functions in mammalian oocytes have not been characterized. Here, we demonstrated in mice that specific deletion of one of the core subunits,Ikbkap/Elp1, in oocytes resulted in spindle defects and chromosome disorganization without ...

An Orthogonal Way of Writing the Tubulin Code
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Elongator complex has long been characterized for its role in tRNA modification and modulation of protein translation. Beyond these established functions, recent findings reveal an unexpected role for Elongator in directly interacting and tuning microtubule dynamics and properties, broadening its biological significance in eukaryotic cells.

How Elongator acetylates tRNA bases [PDF]
, 2020 Elp3, the catalytic subunit of the eukaryotic Elongator complex, is a lysine acetyltransferase that acetylates the C5 position of wobble-base uridines (U34) in transfer RNAs (tRNAs). This Elongator-dependent RNA acetylation of anticodon bases affects the

TDP‐43 proteinopathies and neurodegeneration: insights from Caenorhabditis elegans models
The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 2, Page 348-384, January 2026.The manuscript explores structural and functional features of TDP‐43 and its worm homologue, TDP‐1, highlighting conserved and divergent structural and functional features. Using genetically engineered C. elegans models, key pathological features of TDP‐43 proteinopathies—including aggregation, neurodegeneration, and motor deficits—are recapitulated ...

Loss of anticodon wobble uridine modifications affects tRNA(Lys) function and protein levels in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In eukaryotes, wobble uridines in the anticodons of tRNA(Lys)UUU, tRNA(Glu)UUC and tRNA(Gln)UUG are modified to 5-methoxy-carbonyl-methyl-2-thio-uridine (mcm5s2U).
