TALEN Gene Knockouts Reveal No Requirement for the Conserved Human Shelterin Protein Rap1 in Telomere Protection and Length Regulation

open access: yesCell Reports, 2014
The conserved protein Rap1 functions at telomeres in fungi, protozoa, and vertebrates. Like yeast Rap1, human Rap1 has been implicated in telomere length regulation and repression of nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) at telomeres. However, mouse telomeres

New Insights Into Changes in the DNA Methylation Pattern of the SHOX Gene in Patients With Léri‐Weill Dyschondrosteosis

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SHOX gene haploinsufficiency is associated with Léri‐Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) or idiopathic short stature (ISS) and could be caused by the structural and point mutations in the coding region and by the deletions in SHOX gene regulatory sequences. The role of the duplications in regulatory sequences is ambivalent.

Reduction of Ribonucleotide Reductase Subunit RRM2 Potentially Impairs Gut Function of Woody Breast Broilers

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Woody breast compromises meat quality leading to reduced consumer appeal. Although its causes are unclear, improvements observed with certain dietary supplements suggest that gut health may influence woody breast development. Ribonucleotide reductase subunit RRM2 is vital for mitochondrial function and gastrointestinal integrity, and alteration in its ...

Therapeutic inhibition of TRF1 impairs the growth of p53‐deficient K‐RasG12V‐induced lung cancer by induction of telomeric DNA damage

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2015
Telomeres are considered anti‐cancer targets, as telomere maintenance above a minimum length is necessary for cancer growth. Telomerase abrogation in cancer‐prone mouse models, however, only decreased tumor growth after several mouse generations when ...

Alu Overexpression Leads to an Increased Double‐Stranded RNA Signature in Dermatomyositis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune condition characterized by a high interferon signature of unknown etiology. Because coding sequences constitute <1.2% of our genomes, there is a need to explore the role of the noncoding genome in disease pathogenesis.

Telomere Length of Peripheral Blood Leukocytes Predicts Disease Severity and Worse Survival in Systemic Sclerosis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Peripheral blood leukocyte telomere length (PBL‐TL) shortening is associated with systemic sclerosis–related interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD). However, its association with other organ involvement, disease severity, and survival remains unclear.

Chromatin features of plant telomeric sequences at terminal versus internal positions

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Epigenetic mechanisms are involved in regulation of crucial cellular processes in eukaryotic organisms. Data on the epigenetic features of plant telomeres and their epigenetic regulation were published mostly for Arabidopsis thaliana, in which the ...

Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances and hand osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To explore whether biological levels of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS – reflecting the overall effect and accounting for correlations among each PFAS – relate to incident hand osteoarthritis (HOA) and progression.

Telomeres, a Busy Platform for Cell Signaling

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2013
Telomeres are the terminal structures at the ends of linear chromosomes that represent a solution to the end replication problem. Specific binding of the six-protein subunit complex shelterin to telomeric, repetitive TTAGGG DNA sequences contributes to ...
