Exploration of alternative splicing events in ten different grapevine cultivars [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The complex dynamics of gene regulation in plants are still far from being fully understood. Among many factors involved, alternative splicing (AS) in particular is one of the least well documented.

An Allele of Glutamate Formiminotransferase Triggers 5‐Methyl‐Tetrahydrofolate‐to‐MeFox Conversion and Facilitates Folate Biofortification in Maize

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the distinct roles of the glutamate formiminotransferase (GFT) enzyme in plants. The GFT triggers the conversion of 5‐methyl‐tetrahydrofolate to MeFox in plants, a process distinct from its role as a formiminotransferase in mammals.

A unified mechanism for intron and exon definition and back-splicing. [PDF]

, 2019
The molecular mechanisms of exon definition and back-splicing are fundamental unanswered questions in pre-mRNA splicing. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of the yeast spliceosomal E complex assembled on introns, providing a view of the ...

Integration of disease-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms, expression quantitative trait loci and coexpression networks reveal novel candidate genes for type 2 diabetes. [PDF]

, 2012
Aims/hypothesisWhile genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been successful in identifying novel variants associated with various diseases, it has been much more difficult to determine the biological mechanisms underlying these associations ...

DKK3 Initially Preserves Acinar Integrity Through MEK‐Fos Signaling, but Later Switches to an Oncogenic Role in Pancreatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In pancreatic cancer, the protein DKK3 is found to play a complex role: it initially slows early tumor growth but later promotes tumor aggressiveness. DKK3 expression evolves during progression and drives cancer severity by orchestrating cellular and molecular signaling pathways.

The genetic contribution of the NO system at the glutamatergic post-synapse to schizophrenia : further evidence and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2014
NO is a pleiotropic signaling molecule and has an important role in cognition and emotion. In the brain, NO is produced by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS-I, encoded by NOS1) coupled to the NMDA receptor via PDZ.

A Prion‐Like Domain in EBV EBNA1 Promotes Phase Separation and Enables SRRM1 Splicing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study discoveries that EBV EBNA1 behaves as a prion‐like protein, verified using cell‐based assays and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sup35p prion identification system. The prion‐like domain of EBNA1 drives liquid–liquid phase separation. EBNA1 interacts with the splicing factor SRSF1 to regulate the expression of the SRRM1 splicing isoforms ...

ps2, the gene responsible for functional sterility in tomato, due to non-dehiscent anthers, is the result of a mutation in a novel polygalacturonase gene [PDF]

, 2009
The recessive mutation ps-2, which appeared spontaneously in tomato, confers functional male sterility due to non-dehiscent anthers. In this study, we isolated and characterized the PS-2 gene.

A Modular and Customizable CRISPR/Cas Toolkit for Epigenome Editing of Cis‐regulatory Modules

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Epigenome editing surpasses genome editing in gene regulation. Modular epigenome editing frameworks are developed to interrogate cis‐regulome, enabling tunable reprogramming of cis‐elements, uncovering their epigenetic responsiveness and cross‐species portability.
