Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Heterozygous Mylk3 Knockout Mice Partially Recapitulate Human DCM With Heterozygous MYLK3 Mutations
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Backgrounds: Recent studies identified heterozygous variants in MYLK3 gene that encodes cardiac myosin light chain kinase (cMLCK) are related to familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) for the first time. Autosomal dominant traits suggest that pathogenesis

NoxO1 Knockout Promotes Longevity in Mice [PDF]
Antioxidants, 2020 According to the free radical theory of aging, reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been proposed to be a major cause of aging for a long time. Meanwhile, it became clear that ROS have diverse functions in a healthy organism. They act as second messengers, and as transient inhibitors of phosphatases and others.

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Cdk2 Knockout Mice Are Viable [PDF]
Current Biology, 2003 Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and their cyclin regulatory subunits control cell growth and division. Cdk2/cyclin E complexes are thought to be required because they phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein and drive cells through the G1/S transition into the S phase of the cell cycle.
