摘要:Huntington's Disease (HD), the most prevalent polyglutamine (polyQ) neurodegenerative disorder, features brain aggregates induced by mutant huntingtin (mHtt) proteins harboring expanded polyQ tracts. Despite extensive efforts, molecular mechanisms of polyQ aggregates remain elusive. Here, we establish quantitative stimulated Raman scattering imaging of polyQ aggregates (q-aggSRS) for noninvasive investigations in live neuronal cocultures using deuterated glutamine labeling. Q-aggSRS allows for...

摘要:Paleoclimates provide examples of past climate change that inform estimates of modern warming from greenhouse-gas emissions, known as Earth's climate sensitivity. However, differences between past and present climate change must be accounted for when inferring climate sensitivity from paleoclimate evidence. The closest paleoclimate analog to near-term warming from greenhouse-gas emissions is the Pliocene (5.3 to 2.6 Ma), a warm epoch with atmospheric CO2 concentrations similar to today. Recent...

摘要:Abnormal expansions of trinucleotide repeats (TNRs) are a major cause of neurodegenerative diseases, often driven by the formation of stable hairpin structures that interfere with protein machineries in DNA cellular processes. On the other hand, human replication protein A (hRPA) plays a central role in stabilizing single-stranded DNA and resolution of secondary structures. Understanding how hRPA interacts with TNR hairpins has become crucial to uncovering the mechanisms that regulate TNR stab...

摘要:Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (Pdgfra) plays a crucial role in mesenchymal cell differentiation, but the molecular signaling involved in this process remains unclear, particularly within the fetal testis. Here, we use XY Pdgfra-null gonads to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying testicular organogenesis, focusing on the formation of testicular architecture and the differentiation of fetal Leydig cells (FLCs), the steroidogenic lineage arising from mesenchymal precurs...

摘要:The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, similar to 56 Mya) interval was marked by massive C-13-depleted carbon emissions into the ocean/atmosphere system, manifested as a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE) in sedimentary components, and similar to 5 degrees C global average warming. Episodes of hydrological perturbations and soil-erosion have been widely documented for the PETM but their link with vegetation-and carbon cycle changes remain poorly constrained. Here, we present organic ...

摘要:RNAseq analysis of the Drosophila genome has revealed further immune-induced genes. Two genes initially annotated as lncRNAs, CG44404(yul & uuml;) and CG45045(shenshu), are strongly induced. We report here that these two genes actually encode highly related secreted peptides found in the Sophophora subgenus of Drosophila species. We have generated single and double null mutants of these loci and found that the double mutant line did not display any enhanced susceptibility to an immune challeng...

摘要:Progressive lung fibrosis is linked to aging-related dysfunction in fibroblasts, which remains poorly understood. To investigate the alterations in fibroblasts, particularly the molecular programs driving this profibrotic evolution in the aging lung, we isolated senescent lung fibroblasts from aged mice. We observed aberrant vimentin aggregates, which correlate with accelerated fibroblast senescence. CRISPR-based screening identified calumenin as a chaperone protein essential for vimentin prot...

摘要:Many transmembrane (TM) signaling receptors undergo essential posttranslational modification in the Golgi prior to their delivery to the plasma membrane (PM). Whether and how the passage and accompanied modification of these proteins across the Golgi is controlled remains unclear. Here, we show that leptin receptor overlapping transcript (LEPROT) and LEPROT-like 1 (LEPROTL1) regulate TM receptor activation by securing their sufficient Golgi retention. LEPROTs localize to cis and medial Golgi i...

摘要:Perissodactyls were a diverse order of mammals in the Northern Hemisphere during the Paleogene, but very few species remain today. They first appear during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; 56 Ma) on the three continents of the Northern Hemisphere. Because they lack modern diversity, the study of their evolutionary history remains difficult, relying almost exclusively on fossils. In addition, their origin and early diversification remain elusive since all main groups appear at the sa...
