Pdgfrα-Cre mediated knockout of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor protects mice from high-fat diet induced obesity and hepatic steatosis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonists such as dioxin have been associated with obesity and the development of diabetes. Whole-body Ahr knockout mice on high-fat diet (HFD) have been shown to resist obesity and hepatic steatosis.

Double Deletion of Angiotensin II Type 2 and Mas Receptors Accelerates Aging‐Related Muscle Weakness in Male Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background The activation of AT2 (angiotensin II type 2 receptor ) and Mas receptor by angiotensin II and angiotensin‐(1‐7), respectively, is the primary process that counteracts activation of the canonical renin‐angiotensin system (RAS).

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.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

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

Knockout of the 15 kDa selenoprotein protects against chemically-induced aberrant crypt formation in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Evidence suggests that selenium has cancer preventive properties that are largely mediated through selenoproteins. Our previous observations demonstrated that targeted down-regulation of the 15 kDa selenoprotein (Sep15) in murine colon cancer cells ...

Gadd45a knockout mice resemble p53 knockouts [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2000
Mice with a disrupted Gadd45a gene share several phenotypic characteristics with p53 knockout mice, including genomic instability, increased carcinogenesis and exencephaly.

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

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.

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 ...
