Retinoschisin Facilitates the Function of L-Type Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Modulation of ion channels by extracellular proteins plays critical roles in shaping synaptic plasticity. Retinoschisin (RS1) is an extracellular adhesive protein secreted from photoreceptors and bipolar cells, and it plays an important role during ...

Phenotype Heterogeneity and the Association Between Visual Acuity and Outer Retinal Structure in a Cohort of Chinese X-Linked Juvenile Retinoschisis Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Purpose: X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), caused by mutations in the RS1 gene, is an X-linked recessive inherited disease that typically involves both eyes in the first 2 decades of life. Recently, the phenotype heterogeneity of this condition has

Generation of a X-linked juvenile retinoschisis patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell line ZOCi004-A

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2022
X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), caused by the mutation of RS1 gene, is one of the most common causes of macular degeneration for male adolescents. The mutations and clinical manifestations of the disease are diverse.

RNA interference knockdown of BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE1 in maize reveals novel functions for brassinosteroid signaling in controlling plant architecture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant hormones involved in various growth and developmental processes. The BR signaling system is well established in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa) but poorly understood in maize (Zea mays ...

A somatic-mutational process recurrently duplicates germline susceptibility loci and tissue-specific super-enhancers in breast cancers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Somatic rearrangements contribute to the mutagenized landscape of cancer genomes. Here, we systematically interrogated rearrangements in 560 breast cancers by using a piecewise constant fitting approach.

Allele-specific methylation and expression of an imprinted U2af1-rs1 (SP2) gene.

open access: yesNucleic acids research, 1995
The mouse U2af1-rs1(SP2) gene, which was cloned by a two-dimensional genome scanning method, is expressed exclusively from the paternally inherited chromosome. This gene has significant similarity to U2AF and located in chromosome 11, of which maternal duplication/paternal deficiency results in a small body.
