Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Genetic diagnosis as a tool for personalized treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2016
Accurate definition of genetic mutations causing Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) has always been relevant in order to provide genetic counseling to patients and families, and helps to establish the prognosis in the case where the distinction between ...

Click Capture SELEX for the Identification of Click‐Modified Aptamers Targeting Small Molecules in Solution

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Using kanamycin A as a model target, we developed click‐capture SELEX to identify nucleobase‐modified aptamers capable of binding small molecules in solution. This approach enables flexible incorporation of nucleobase modifications via CuAAC, allowing the chemical properties of the aptamer to be tailored to the target molecule.

PharmVar GeneFocus: CYP1A2—Clinical Impact, Genetic Variation, and Updated Nomenclature

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) provides nomenclature for the highly polymorphic human CYP1A2 gene. CYP1A2 plays a crucial role in the biotransformation of several commonly used drugs, including antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics, and methylxanthines.

From Basics to Benchmarks: Evaluating Sample Adequacy, PD‐L1 Expression, and Molecular Profiling in Effusion Samples of Lung Adenocarcinoma

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lung adenocarcinoma commonly causes malignant pleural effusion (MPE), a condition with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Pleural effusion specimens offer a minimally invasive source for diagnosis and molecular testing.

Eukaryotic translation initiation machinery can operate in a prokaryotic-like mode without eIF2 [PDF]

, 2008
Unlike prokaryotes, a specialized eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2), in the form of the ternary complex eIF2*GTP*Met-tRNAiMet is utilized to deliver the initiator tRNA to the ribosome within all eukaryotic cells1.

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

, 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.

Robinow syndrome DVL1 variants disrupt morphogenesis and appendage formation in a Drosophila disease model

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Robinow syndrome is a rare developmental syndrome caused by variants in genes in Wnt signaling pathways. We previously showed that expression of patient variants in Dishevelled 1 (DVL1) in Drosophila and chicken models disrupts the balance of canonical and non‐canonical Wnt signaling.

The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion. Fnm, frontonasal mass; lnp, lateral nasal process; mnp, medial nasal process; mxp, maxillary process; np, nasal

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...
