The U12-dependent (minor) spliceosome excises a rare group of introns that are characterized by a highly conserved 5' splice site and branch point sequence. Several new congenital or somatic diseases have recently been associated with mutations in components of the minor spliceosome.

An Atomic Structure of the Human Spliceosome [PDF]
Mechanistic understanding of pre-mRNA splicing requires detailed structural information on various states of the spliceosome. Here we report the cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the human spliceosome just before exon ligation (the C∗ complex) at an average resolution of 3.76 Å.

Excessive intake of saturated fats during pregnancy is associated with DNA hypomethylation in placental and cord blood samples from women affected with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), impacting, in particular, the cord blood promoter of ZFP57, a key regulator of early embryonic epigenetic programming.

In this study we utilized proteomic profiling to investigate mechanisms linked to the cancer‐inhibitory effect of cranberry proanthocyanidins (CPACs) on reflux‐induced esophageal adenocarcinoma in a rat model. The results indicate that CPAC inhibits cancer through targeting multiple hallmarks of cancer known to be dysregulated in progression to ...

A stochastic view of spliceosome assembly and recycling in the nucleus. [PDF]
How splicing factors are recruited to nascent transcripts in the nucleus in order to assemble spliceosomes on newly synthesised pre-mRNAs is unknown.

Universal power law behaviors in genomic sequences and evolutionary models
We study the length distribution of a particular class of DNA sequences known as 5'UTR exons. These exons belong to the messanger RNA of protein coding genes, but they are not coding (they are located upstream of the coding portion of the mRNA) and are ...

Identification of a novel splice variant of the haloacid dehalogenase: PHOSPHO1 [PDF]
PHOSPHO1, a new member of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily, has recently been implicated in the mineralization process in both osteoblasts and chondrocytes.

Over half of patients with colorectal cancer experience severe chemotherapy‐induced side effects. The B‐vitamin folate may play a role in these side effects, potentially by altering DNA methylation, a mechanism of gene regulation. Our comprehensive literature search identified studies investigating DNA methylation associated with folate status/intake ...

Applying population genomics, this study revealed that Pst exhibits slower linkage disequilibrium decay compared to rust fungi with known sexual reproduction, identified extensive hard and soft sweeps linked to Pst adaptation, and demonstrated that crop domestication and breeding programs have significantly influenced pathogen population sizes ...
