SUMOylation regulates mitochondrial processes, but its impact on protein import remains unclear. TOM40 is identified, a mitochondrial outer membrane channel protein, as a substrate of deSUMOylase SENP6. TOM40 SUMOylation disrupts outer membrane complex assembly, inhibits protein import, and compromises mitochondrial homeostasis.

USP8‐Governed MDA5 Homeostasis Promotes Innate Immunity and Autoimmunity
This study reveals that USP8 stabilizes MDA5 via AKT‐mediated phosphorylation (Ser718), enhancing their interaction and MDA5 deubiquitination. USP8 inactivation degrades MDA5, suppressing type I IFN and cytokine production. Pharmacological inhibition of USP8/AKT alleviates MDA5‐driven autoimmunity, demonstrating the USP8‐MDA5 axis as a therapeutic ...

Amyloid Forming Human Lysozyme Intermediates are Stabilized by Non‐Native Amide‐π Interactions
Mutational variants of human lysozyme cause fatal systemic amyloidosis by depositing kilograms of protein in the viscera of patients. Central to this process is a partially unfolded protein intermediate state that initiates aggregation into amyloid fibrils.

FemXpress is a computational tool that leverages X‐linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to group cells by the origin of the inactivated X chromosome in female single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐Seq) data. It demonstrates strong performance on both simulated and real datasets without requiring parental genomic information, and can also identify ...

SCRIPT is a novel method inferring single‐cell cis‐regulatory relationships (CRRs) from transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility data. SCRIPT incorporates two key innovations: graph causal attention networks supported by empirical CRR evidence, and representation learning enhanced through pretraining on atlas‐scale single‐cell data.

Co‐Selection of Low Cadmium Accumulation and High Yield During Tomato Improvement
This study finds that large‐fruited tomatoes accumulate less cadmium (Cd) compared to wild tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. This is because, during the improvement process of tomato, the low‐Cd allele LCT1A and the large fruit allele fw3.2T are closely linked, leading to a co‐selection event.
