Loss of E3 ligase HvST1 function substantially increases distal crossover frequency
Summary This study characterizes the function of a grass‐specific E3 ubiquitin ligase, HvST1, in regulating synapsis and crossover (CO) formation during meiosis in barley (Hordeum vulgare). In large‐genome cereals, COs are predominantly restricted to distal chromosomal regions, limiting genetic recombination and breeding flexibility.

This review illustrates how intracellular bacterial pathogens—such as Brucella, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Legionella—secrete effector proteins that specifically target the IRE1α, PERK, and ATF6 branches of the unfolded protein response (UPR) to hijack ER stress signaling.

Pathogenic Gαo Mutants Drive Dominant GPCR Coupling in GNAO1 Encephalopathies
Mutations in GNAO1, the gene encoding Gαo, are associated with a wide range of neurodevelopmental disorders. In this study, we show that Gαo variants linked to the most severe patient phenotypes fail to disengage from activated Gi/o‐coupled GPCRs, thereby blocking GRK‐mediated receptor phosphorylation and internalization.
