RNA‐centric world of retroviruses: unravelling the molecular strategies of genomic RNA packaging

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retroviruses constitute a unique group of RNA viruses that have profoundly influenced both evolutionary trajectories and biomedical research. Their ability to reverse transcribe and integrate into host genomes has shaped genomic architecture across species and contributed to our understanding of oncogenes, gene regulation, and RNA biology ...

Congenital disorder of glycosylation caused by starting site-specific variant in syntaxin-5

Nature Communications, 2021
Mutations in genes critical for proper intra-Golgi transport can cause human syndromes due to defects in glycosylation of proteins. Here, the authors identify a human variant of Syntaxin-5 that causes fatal multisystem disease and mislocalization of ...

Afferent delays and the mislocalization of perisaccadic stimuli

Vision Research, 2001
Determining the precise moment a visual stimulus appears is difficult because visual response latencies vary. This temporal uncertainty could cause localization errors to brief visual targets presented before and during eye movements if the oculomotor system cannot determine the position of the eye at the time the stimulus appeared. We investigated the

Fixation Induces Mislocalization of Thin Filament Components in Caenorhabditis elegans Striated Muscle

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The simple nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has long served as a powerful genetic model system for studying muscle structure and function, with sarcomeres of the striated body wall muscle (BWM) that are considered largely homologous to those in vertebrates.

Spatial mislocalization as a consequence of sequential coding of stimuli [PDF]

Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2011
In three experiments, we tested whether sequentially coding two visual stimuli can create a spatial misperception of a visual moving stimulus. In Experiment 1, we showed that a spatial misperception, the flash-lag effect, is accompanied by a similar temporal misperception of first perceiving the flash and only then a change of the moving stimulus, when

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Illusory motion and mislocalization of temporally offset target in apparent motion display

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
When a visual target briefly appears in a display containing visual motion information, the perceived position of the target is mislocalized forward along its direction of motion.

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

The effect of pH alterations on TDP-43 in a cellular model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. The pathophysiology of ALS is not well understood but TDP-43 proteinopathy (aggregation and mislocalization) is one of the major phenomena described.
