Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Detection and genetic diversity of Wolbachia and its associated prophage WO in mosquito populations from Ethiopia

Scientific Reports
Arboviral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, including dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus (WNV), and Rift Valley fever (RVF), pose a significant public health challenge globally, particularly impacting populations in low and middle-

Gene-gene and gene-environment interactions of CYP19A1, ESR1, IL6, IL6R, IL1β, RANK, and RANKL variants in relation to osteoporosis and hip fracture risk in Mexican women

Frontiers in Aging
BackgroundOsteoporosis is a complex disease influenced by genetic variants, environmental factors, and comorbidities. While individual single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) have been associated with disease risk, limited data are available on how gene–gene ...

Effect of Non-Coding RNA on Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing of Alzheimer Disease [PDF]

, 2010
A large amount of hidden biological information is contained in the human genome, which is not expressed or revealed in the form of proteins; the usual end product form of gene expression.

PICALM::MLLT10 translocated leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This comprehensive review of PICALM::MLLT10 translocated acute leukemia provides an in‐depth review of the structure and function of CALM, AF10, and the fusion oncoprotein (1). The multifaceted molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, including nucleocytoplasmic shuttling (2), epigenetic modifications (3), and disruption of endocytosis (4), are then ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Measuring similarity between gene interaction profiles

BMC Bioinformatics, 2019
Background Gene and protein interaction data are often represented as interaction networks, where nodes stand for genes or gene products and each edge stands for a relationship between a pair of gene nodes.

Synergistic activation of NF-κB by TNFAIP3 (A20) reduction and UBE2L3 (UBCH7) augment that synergistically elevate lupus risk

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2020
Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic disease. SLE susceptibility is affected by multiple genetic elements, environmental factors, and their interactions.

Modelling the burden caused by gene expression: an in silico investigation into the interactions between synthetic gene circuits and their chassis cell

, 2013
In this paper we motivate and develop a model of gene expression for the purpose of studying the interaction between synthetic gene circuits and the chassis cell within which they are in- serted.

Competitive titration in living sea urchin embryos of regulatory factors required for expression of the CyIIIa actin gene [PDF]

, 1990
Previous studies have located some twenty distinct sites within the 2.3 kb 5' regulatory domain of the sea urchin CyIIIa cytoskeletal actin gene, where there occur in vitro high-specificity interactions with nuclear DNA-binding proteins of the embryo ...
