摘要:Fungal pathogens infect billions and kill millions of people each year. Many of these pathogens have evolved strategies to evade our antifungal immune defenses. Candida albicans, for example, masks the proinflammatory pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) beta-1,3-glucan, in response to specific host signals such as lactate. In C. albicans, most beta-1,3-glucan lies in the inner cell wall shielded, by the outer mannan layer, from recognition by certain immune cells such as macrophages. ...

摘要:The relationship between genotype and phenotype remains an outstanding question for organism-level traits because these traits are generally complex. The challenge arises from complex traits being determined by a combination of multiple genes (or loci), which leads to an explosion of possible genotype-phenotype mappings. The primary techniques to resolve these mappings are genome/transcriptome-wide association studies, which are limited by their lack of causal inference and statistical power. ...

摘要:We report here transport of full-length epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Insulin Receptor, 7-pass transmembrane receptor Smoothened, and 13-pass Sodium-iodide symporter to extracellular vesicles (EVs) for structural and functional studies. Mass spectrometry confirmed the transported proteins are the most abundant in EV membranes, and the presence of many receptor-interacting proteins in EVs demonstrates their utility for characterizing membrane protein interactomes. Cryo-electron tomog...

摘要:Measures of general cognitive ability (GCA) are highly stable from adolescence onward, particularly at the level of genetic influences. In contrast, measurement of GCA in early life (before 3 y old) is less reliable and less is known about the stability of GCA across this period, including its relation to adult GCA. Using data from the Colorado Longitudinal Twin study (N = 1,098), we examined the stability of GCA measures across 5 time-points (years 1 to 2, 3, 7, 16, and 29), including how an ...

摘要:Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by the opacification of the cornea owing to the abnormal deposition of cholesterol. SCD-associated mutations have been identified in the gene encoding UbiA prenyltransferase domain-containing protein-1 (UBIAD1), which uses geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGpp) to synthesize the vitamin K2 subtype menaquinone-4 (MK-4). Beyond its enzymatic role, UBIAD1 serves as a key regulator of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-...

摘要:The X-linked histone demethylase, UTX (KDM6A), is a master regulator of gene enhancers, though its role in self-renewing epithelia like the skin is not well understood. Here, we find that UTX is a key regulator of skin differentiation via the regulation of retinoic acid (RA) signaling, an essential metabolic pathway in both skin homeostasis, as well as in the treatment of an array of skin conditions ranging from cancer and acne to aging. Through deletion of Utx in the skin, we demonstrate dire...

摘要:SYNGAP1 is a key Ras-GAP protein enriched at excitatory synapses, with mutations causing intellectual disability and epilepsy in humans. Recent studies have revealed that in addition to its role as a negative regulator of G-protein signaling through its GAP enzymatic activity, SYNGAP1 plays an important structural role through its interaction with postsynaptic density proteins. Here, we reveal that intrinsic excitability deficits and seizure phenotypes in heterozygous Syngap1 knockout (KO) mic...

摘要:Hedgehog (Hh) signaling plays fundamental roles in embryonic development while its abnormal activation in adults is associated with cancer. Hh targeting drugs have gained FDA approval but resistance emerged quickly, underlining the need for novel types of Hh inhibitors. Hh signaling is initiated by the Hh ligand, generated from the autoprocessing of Hh precursor. However, the catalytic role of a highly conserved Hedgehog residue C143 is still poorly understood. Here, we confirmed that C143 is ...
