Adenylosuccinate Lyase Deficiency Affects Neurobehavior via Perturbations to Tyramine Signaling in Caenorhabditis Elegans
Congenital metabolic disorders CMDs arise from genetic mutations that result in reduction or absence of enzymatic activity leading to phenotypic clinical manifestations Although most CMDs are rare individually
Microtubules Oppose Cortical Actomyosin-driven Membrane Ingression During C. Elegans Meiosis I Polar Body Extrusion
During C elegans oocyte meiosis I cytokinesis and polar body extrusion cortical actomyosin is locally remodeled to assemble a contractile ring that forms within and remains part of a much larger and actively contractile cortical actomyosin network
ADAR-mediated Regulation of PQM-1 Expression in Neurons Impacts Gene Expression Throughout C. Elegans and Regulates Survival From Hypoxia
The ability to alter gene expression programs in response to changes in environmental conditions is central to the ability of an organism to thrive For most organisms the nervous system serves as the master regulator in communicating information
The Transcription Factor DUX4 Orchestrates Translational Reprogramming by Broadly Suppressing Translation Efficiency and Promoting Expression of DUX4-induced mRNAs
Translational control is critical for cell fate transitions during development lineage specification and tumorigenesis Here we show that the transcription factor double homeobox protein DUX and its previously characterized transcriptional program
Safety and Immunogenicity of a New Formulation of a Pentavalent DTwP-HepB Vaccine in Healthy Indian Infants–A Randomized Study
Pentavalent vaccines DTPHepBHib have been introduced in many countries in their routine public immunization programmes to protect against diphtheria D tetanus T pertussis P hepatitis B Hep B and Hemophilus influenzae type b Hib diseases
Beyond a PPR-RNA Recognition Code: Many Aspects Matter for the Multi-targeting Properties of RNA Editing Factor PPR56
The mitochondrial CtoU RNA editing factor PPR of the moss Physcomitrium patens is an RNAbinding pentatricopeptide repeat protein equipped with a terminal DYWtype cytidine deaminase domain
Muscleblind-1 Interacts With Tubulin mRNAs to Regulate the Microtubule cytoskeleton in C. elegans Mechanosensory Neurons
A highly ordered functional neuronal circuit comprises polarized nerve cells which are compartmentalized into dendrites and axons for unidirectional reception and transmission of information
Functional Mapping of N-terminal Residues in the Yeast Proteome Uncovers Novel Determinants for Mitochondrial Protein Import
As soon as they emerge from the ribosomal tunnel the protein nascent chains recruit factors that will play key roles in their life cycle Such recruitment is dependent on the nature of the protein Nterminal amino acid residues
Accurate Detection of Shared Genetic Architecture From GWAS Summary Statistics in the Small-sample Context
Genetic pleiotropy is the association of a genetic variant with more than one trait and is a pervasive property of the human genome
Genomic Diversity Landscapes in Outcrossing and Selfing Caenorhabditis Nematodes
Population genomics aims to infer the evolutionary forces and historical processes that have shaped genetic variation within species while considering the effects of a range of factors such as natural selection
