Genetic risk factor identification for common epilepsies guided by integrative omics data analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs) comprise the most common genetically determined epilepsy syndromes, following a complex mode of inheritance. Although many important common and rare genetic factors causing or contributing to these epilepsies have been identified in the past decades, many features of the genetic architecture are ...

Structural investigation of human U6 snRNA recognition by spliceosomal recycling factor SART3 RNA recognition motifs

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human SART3 has two RRM domains to engage with U6 snRNA for spliceosome recycling. This study reports solution structures of SART3 RRM domains and investigates the interaction between RRM and U6 snRNA. SART3 binds to the asymmetric bulge of U6 snRNA as a dimer via conserved positively charged surfaces.

SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid protein variants have differential RNA chaperone activity

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid (N) protein facilitates RNA annealing through its RBD–IDR2–CTD region, identifying it as a functional RNA chaperone. The Omicron BA.5 variant shows reduced chaperone activity compared to the Wuhan wild‐type protein. Although phosphorylation has no effect on wild‐type N, phosphomimetic modification of BA.5 N restores its RNA ...

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Proteomic analysis of the zone of degeneration at the mitosis–meiosis transition stage in wild‐caught male catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), correlated with an unusually high‐water temperature in the English Channel

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the context of current global change, variations in water temperature are one of the environmental conditions with serious consequences for marine life, including reproductive processes. In the small spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula, spermatogenesis occurs in spermatocysts composed of synchronously developing germ cells associated ...

Stem microanatomical phenomic uncovers a potential role for ZmLSM2 in regulating maize stem bending strength

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Maize ZmLSM2 (U6 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein specific Sm‐like 2) controls maize stem strength by affecting vascular bundle structure. Using advanced computed tomography imaging and artificial intelligence identified key stem traits linked to lodging resistance and developed a predictive model.

Circular RNA Vv‐circCOR27 modulates thermotolerance through attenuating VvHSP90.2b‐VvHsfA7a interaction in grapevine

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are single‐stranded, covalently closed RNA molecules that arise from exon back‐splicing. The identification and function investigation of circRNAs have been comprehensively explored in plants, however, the regulatory mechanisms are largely unknown.

Domestication‐Selected Promoter Insertion in WRKY17 Increases Cadmium Sensitivity in Apple

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing industrialisation and human activities, heavy metal pollution has become a serious environmental concern, particularly cadmium (Cd) contamination. This study reveals significant differences in Cd tolerance between wild apple (Malus spp.) and cultivated apple (Malus domestica).
