Repression of CIITA by the Epstein-Barr virus transcription factor Zta is independent of its dimerization and DNA binding [PDF]
Repression of the cellular CIITA gene is part of the immune evasion strategy of the γherpes virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) during its lytic replication cycle in B-cells. In part this is mediated through down regulation of MHC class II gene expression via

A Comprehensive Review of the Genetic Etiology and Management of Orofacial Clefts
ABSTRACT Cleft lip (CL) and cleft palate (CP), collectively referred to as orofacial clefts (OFCs), are among the most common birth defects and can have significant effects on speech, nutrition, and physical and psychosocial development. Manifestation, classification, and treatment plans of OFCs are diverse and not standardized.

ABSTRACT Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer characterized by high metastatic potential, poor prognosis, and limited effective therapeutic options. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the anticancer effects of the nucleolin (NCL)‐targeting DNA aptamer AS1411 using label‐free ...

The SUMO Ligase Protein Inhibitor of Activated STAT 1 (PIAS1) is a constituent PML-NB protein that contributes to the intrinsic antiviral immune response to herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) [PDF]
Aspects of intrinsic antiviral immunity are mediated by promyelocytic leukaemia (PML)-nuclear body (PML-NB) constituent proteins. During herpesvirus infection, these antiviral proteins are independently recruited to nuclear domains that contain infecting

ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) play a critical role in regulating the transcriptional activity of PPARγ, a nuclear receptor central to glucose and lipid homeostasis. Among these, lysine acetylation at K268 and K293 and phosphorylation at S273 are particularly relevant to insulin sensitivity.

Nuclear processes associated with plant immunity and pathogen susceptibility [PDF]
Plants are sessile organisms that have evolved exquisite and sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to their biotic and abiotic environment. Plants deploy receptors and vast signalling networks to detect, transmit and respond to a given biotic threat by ...

Detection of Sumoylated Proteins [PDF]
Small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) is an ubiquitin-like protein that is covalently attached to a variety of target proteins. Unlike ubiquitination, sumoylation does not target proteins for proteolytic breakdown, but is involved in regulation of protein function, nuclear targeting, and the formation of subcellular structures.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Tpz1TPP1 SUMOylation reveals evolutionary conservation of SUMO-dependent Stn1 telomere association [PDF]
Elongation of the telomeric overhang by telomerase is counteracted by synthesis of the complementary strand by the CST complex, CTC1(Cdc13)/Stn1/Ten1. Interaction of budding yeast Stn1 with overhang-binding Cdc13 is increased by Cdc13 SUMOylation. Human

Compartmentalisation in cAMP signalling: A phase separation perspective
Cells rely on precise spatiotemporal control of signalling pathways to ensure functional specificity. The compartmentalisation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA) signalling enables distinct cellular responses within a crowded cytoplasmic space.
