DNA-damage-associated protein co-expression network in cardiomyocytes informs on tolerance to genetic variation and disease

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with genetic variants and environmental factors. A consequence of multiple risk factors is DNA damage.

The Role of Spastin in Axon Biology

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Neurons are highly polarized cells with elaborate shapes that allow them to perform their function. In neurons, microtubule organization—length, density, and dynamics—are essential for the establishment of polarity, growth, and transport. A mounting body

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Integrative annotation of 21,037 human genes validated by full-length cDNA clones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The human genome sequence defines our inherent biological potential; the realization of the biology encoded therein requires knowledge of the function of each gene. Currently, our knowledge in this area is still limited.

Combined endurance and resistance exercise training alters the spatial transcriptome of skeletal muscle in young adults

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Chronic exercise training substantially improves skeletal muscle function and performance. The repeated demands and stressors of each exercise bout drive coordinated molecular adaptations within multiple cell types, leading to enhanced ...

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Interferon gamma induced-ACSL5 shapes the lipidome of kidney tubular cells

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family (ACSL) enzymes are critical in the activation of long-chain fatty acid. To determine the regulatory mechanisms of ACSL5 and its biological functions within the kidney tubule, we generated transcriptomic ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Impact of enteric neuronal loss on intestinal cell composition

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital disorder characterized by the absence of an enteric nervous system (ENS) in the distal gut. While the ENS is critical for normal gut function, its broader role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
