Targeting the IRE1α/XBP1s pathway suppresses CARM1-expressing ovarian cancer
Nature Communications, 2021 The unfolded protein response (UPR) promotes cell survival in cancers with hyperactive ER stress response. Here the authors show that CARM1, an arginine methyltransferase, controls the IRE1α/XBP1 pathway of the UPR and the inhibition of this pathway can ...

Abnormal hippocampal melatoninergic system: a potential link between absence epilepsy and depression-like behavior in WAG/Rij rats? [PDF]
, 2018 Absence epilepsy and depression are comorbid disorders, but the molecular link between the two disorders is unknown. Here, we examined the role of the melatoninergic system in the pathophysiology of spike and wave discharges (SWDs) and depression-like ...

Structural and functional analysis of the human POT1-TPP1 telomeric complex
Nature Communications, 2017 POT1 and TTP1 are part of the shelterin complex that caps and stabilizes the ends of telomeres. Here the authors present a structural analysis of the human POT1-TTP1 complex, shedding light on how it assembles and how cancer-associated mutations impact ...

Impulsivity in rodents with a genetic predisposition for excessive alcohol consumption is associated with a lack of a prospective strategy [PDF]
, 2016 Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that impulsive decision-making is a heritable risk factor for an alcohol use disorder (AUD). Clearly identifying a link between impulsivity and AUD risk, however, is complicated by the fact that both AUDs and ...

Spontaneous Synovitis in Wistar Rats [PDF]
Toxicologic Pathology, 1998 Spontaneous synovitis has been detected in the stifle joints of control Wistar rats in 4-wk and 2-yr toxicity studies, and a specific site was found to be predisposed to synovitis. The incidence of synovitis was 27.5% for males in the 4-wk study and 40.0% for males and 16.0% for females in the 2-yr study. The severity was not increased with aging.

CTCF driven TERRA transcription facilitates completion of telomere DNA replication
Nature Communications, 2017 TERRA RNA is involved in maintaining stability during telomere repeat replication. Here the authors, by using CRISPR/Cas9, mutate CTCF-binding sites at start site of TERRA transcripts and find that subtelomeric CTCF facilitates telomeric DNA replication ...

Epigenetic specifications of host chromosome docking sites for latent Epstein-Barr virus
Nature Communications, 2020 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) episomes tether to the host chromosome via EBNA1. Here, using circular chromosome conformation capture (4C), Kim et al. identify attachment sites and show that EBV episomes preferentially associate with transcriptionally silenced

Telomeres and Viruses: Common Themes of Genome Maintenance
Frontiers in Oncology, 2012 Genome maintenance mechanisms actively suppress genetic instability associated with cancer and aging. Some viruses provoke genetic instability by subverting the host’s control of genome maintenance.
