Transcriptomic and functional profiling of endothelial dysfunction induced by polystyrene nanoplastics

open access: yesFrontiers in Toxicology
BackgroundThe presence of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPLs) in human blood raises concerns about their vascular impact and their potential contribution to cardiovascular diseases.

Genetic analysis and QTL mapping of a novel reduced height gene in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
Low stature in wheat is closely associated with lodging resistance, and this impacts harvest index and grain yield. The discovery of novel dwarfing or semi-dwarfing genes can have great significance for dwarf wheat breeding.

USP29‐regulated noncanonical stabilization of the hypoxia‐inducible factor‐α in aggressive prostate cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We identify USP29 as the only DUB mirroring CA9 expression, a marker of hypoxia and HIF pathway activation associated with PCA aggressiveness. USP29 stabilizes HIF‐1α and HIF‐2α via a noncanonical mechanism that is independent of PHD/pVHL activity yet relies on proteasomal regulation, establishing USP29 as a previously unrecognized regulator of hypoxic

Radiosensitization of orthotopic GIC-driven glioblastoma by doxycycline causes skin damage

open access: yesRadiation Oncology, 2019
Doxycycline (DXC) is a tetracycline antibiotic which has been proposed as a breast cancer radiosensitizer by specifically reducing the expression of the DNA repair enzyme DNA PK in breast cancer initiating cells.

Identification of Rice Blast Loss-of-Function Mutant Alleles in the Wheat Genome as a New Strategy for Wheat Blast Resistance Breeding

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Blast is caused by the host-specific lineages of the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae and is the most important destructive disease in major crop plants, including rice and wheat. The first wheat blast outbreak that occurred in Bangladesh in 2016 and the recent

Sleeping beauty transposon-mediated poly(A)-trapping and insertion mutagenesis in mouse embryonic stem cells

open access: yes, 2018
Saturation mutagenesis of all endogenous genes within the mouse genome remains a challenging task, although a plenty of gene-editing approaches are available for this purpose.

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

p53 Mutations and DNA Ploidy in Colorectal Adenocarcinomas

open access: yesAnalytical Cellular Pathology, 1998
The p53 tumour suppressor gene has an important role in the the maintenance of genome stability and its mutational inactivation may be at the origin of aneuploidy in cancer cells.

Evaluation of altered starch mutants and identification of candidate genes responsible for starch variation in wheat

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Induction of mutation through chemical mutagenesis is a novel approach for preparing diverse germplasm. Introduction of functional alleles in the starch biosynthetic genes help in the improvement of the quality and yield of cereals. Results In

Optimization of Combinatorial Mutagenesis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Computational Biology, 2011
Abstract Protein engineering by combinatorial site-directed mutagenesis evaluates a portion of the sequence space near a target protein, seeking variants with improved properties (e.g., stability, activity, immunogenicity).
