Comparative Genomics and Functional Evidence for Convergent Adaptation to Hypoxia in Mammals

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reveals convergent selection in mammals adapted to hypoxia. Functional assays demonstrate that amino acid mutations reduce oxidative stress, attenuate hypoxia‐induced injury, and modulate the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor (HIF)‐driven hypoxic response.

Clinical manifestations of dual‐gene variants in retinitis pigmentosa

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal disease (IRD), whereby each affected individual typically harbours pathogenic variants in a single causative gene, yet the disorder exhibits marked genetic heterogeneity, with more than 100 genes reported to underlie RP.

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

Evidence That the Protein Phosphatase Activity of PTEN Contributes to Embryonic Development and Tumor Suppression

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Mice expressing only mutant PTEN Y138L, a protein which shows normal suppression of cellular AKT yet lacks protein phosphatase activity, die in utero, and heterozygous mice display a range of tumors. This indicates both the lipid and protein phosphatase activities of PTEN work together for normal tumor suppression and embryonic development.

Pleiotropic Roles of FBXO11 in Tumorigenesis: Implications for Targeted Therapy

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
This complex comprises of scaffold CUL1, SKP1, RBX1 and FBXO11 receptor. The substrate is phosphorylated by specific kinase enzyme and recognized by the substrate recognition domain. FBXO11 targets numerous substrates for ubiquitination and degradation, FBXO11 substrates mainly include Snail, ZEB1, p53, BCL6, CDT2, CIITA, Cdc25a, hnRNPA2B1, SAMD1 and ...
