Loss of wwox expression in zebrafish embryos causes edema and alters Ca2+ dynamics [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
We investigated the role of the WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (wwox) gene in the embryonic development of zebrafish, with particular emphasis on intracellular Ca2+ dynamics because Ca2+ is an important intracellular messenger.

Zinc Exposure Causes Disulfidptosis to Induce Miscarriage by Up‐Regulating GATA1/METTL1/SLC7A11 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zn exposure up‐regulates GATA1, promoting GATA1‐mediated METTL1 and SLC7A11 transcription. It also enhances METTL1‐mediated m7G modification on SLC7A11 mRNA, increasing SLC7A11 mRNA stability. Ultimately, Zn exposure up‐regulates SLC7A11 at both transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels, causing disulfidptosis. Knockdown of murine Slc7a11, Gata1,

Interdependence of Pasha and Drosha for localization and function of the Microprocessor in C. elegans

Nature Communications
Primary microRNA (pri-miRNA) transcripts are processed by the Microprocessor, containing the ribonuclease Drosha and its RNA-binding partner DGCR8/Pasha. In a forward genetic screen utilizing a fluorescence-based sensor that monitors pri-miRNA processing

A Single Point Mutation in a Group I WW Domain Shifts Its Specificity to That of Group II WW Domains [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
WW domains can be divided into three groups based on their binding specificity. By random mutagenesis, we switched the specificity of the Yes-associated protein (YAP) WW1 domain, a Group I WW domain, to that of the FE65 WW domain, which belongs to Group II. We showed that a single mutation, leucine 190 (betaB5) to tryptophan, is required to switch from

Causal Prediction of TP53 Variant Pathogenicity Using a Perturbation‐Informed Protein Language Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A TP53‐specific predictor, CaVepP53, is developed by fine‐tuning ESMC on experimentally validated variants, quantifying pathogenicity via Euclidean distances. It outperforms general‐purpose models and extends to five cancer genes, enabling interpretable variant classification for precision medicine.

Modeling WWOX Loss of Function in vivo: What Have We Learned?

Frontiers in Oncology, 2018
The WW domain–containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene encompasses a common fragile sites (CFS) known as FRA16D, and is implicated in cancer. WWOX encodes a 46kDa adaptor protein, which contains two N-terminal WW–domains and a catalytic domain at its C ...

Characterization of a novel protein‐binding module — the WW domain [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1995
We have identified, characterized and cloned human, mouse and chicken cDNA of a novel protein that binds to the Src homology domain 3 (SH3) of the Yes proto‐oncogene product. We subsequently named it YAP for Yes‐associated protein. Analysis of the YAP sequence revealed a protein module that was found in various structural, regulatory and signaling ...

Cryo‐EM Structure Guided Engineering of Botulinum Neurotoxin A With Advanced Receptor Binding Affinity and Therapeutical Benefits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The butterfly unfolded wing in an open form structure of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) at physiological‐state was confirmed at 2.85 Å resolution by cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Structure‐guided protein engineering significantly enhanced the receptor‐binding affinity, therapeutic efficacy, and safety of the engineered toxin variants ...

The XLID Protein PQBP1 and the GTPase Dynamin 2 Define a Signaling Link that Orchestrates Ciliary Morphogenesis in Postmitotic Neurons

Cell Reports, 2013
Intellectual disability (ID) is a prevalent developmental disorder of cognition that remains incurable. Here, we report that knockdown of the X-linked ID (XLID) protein polyglutamine-binding protein 1 (PQBP1) in neurons profoundly impairs the ...
