摘要:The human cortex undergoes immense change in the first years of life, doubling in thickness within the first year and evidencing the greatest change within the first 5 y. While substantial research has identified the early postnatal period as a sensitive period in cortical development, research to date lacks the temporal resolution necessary to identify which aspects of cortical change predict later neural and cognitive function. This study leveraged a rich longitudinal dataset of cortical thi...

摘要:Excess amounts of saturated fatty acids (FAs) are toxic to organisms, a condition termed lipotoxicity, which is often accompanied by pleiotropic cellular and tissue dysfunction. Here, we show that pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) exerts toxicity on the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by generating an aberrantly planar endoplasmic reticulum (ER) structure, which we named a giant ER sheet. Untargeted lipidomics revealed that C15:0 is incorporated into complex lipids depending on an acyl- CoA l...

摘要:Mitochondrial damage determines cell fate, leading to mitochondrial autophagy or cellular apoptosis in health and disease. The molecular mechanisms and role of the acto-myosin cytoskeleton regulating mitochondrial clearance and membrane remodeling are critical in neurodegenerative disease progression including Alzheimer, but remain unclear. To investigate the potential link between full-length Myosin VI (FL-Myo6) recruitment and exposure of the mitochondria-specific lipid cardiolipin (CL), her...

摘要:The tight link between brain and skull formation is a fundamental aspect of vertebrate evolution and embryogenesis. Their developmental synchronization is essential for structural and functional integration. The brain and skull shape coevolution is evident along the vertebrate phylogeny; however, the genetic basis underlying their close evolutionary and developmental relationship remains little explored. Here, we reveal the evolution and function of the MN1 gene that was previously found to be...

摘要:Pigmentation plays a vital role in the survival of organisms, supporting functions such as camouflage, communication, and mate attraction. In vertebrates, these functions are mediated by specialized pigment cells known as chromatophores of which, uric acid crystal-forming leucophores remain the least understood, with little known about their molecular mechanisms. A key question in pigment cell biology is whether different crystal chemistries require distinct molecular pathways, or whether simi...

摘要:The eukaryotic leading-strand DNA polymerase epsilon(Pol epsilon) is a dual-function enzyme with a proofreading 3 '-5 ' exonuclease (exo) site located 40 & Aring; from the DNA synthesizing pol site. Errors in Pol epsilon proofreading can cause various mutations, including C-to-G trans-versions, the most prevalent mutation in cancers and genetic diseases. Pol epsilon interacts with all three subunits of the PCNA ring to assemble a functional holoenzyme. Despite previous studies on proofreading ...

摘要:The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL135 and UL138 genes play opposing roles regulating latency and reactivation in CD34+ human progenitor cells. We designed an RNA sequencing study to compare the transcriptional profile of HCMV infection in the presence and absence of these genes using the Tohoku Hospital Pediatrics-1 (THP-1) monocytic cell line model for latency. Relative to primary cell models, THP-1 cells offer the strength of a homogenous population that uniformly silences gene expression a...

摘要:The next generation of force fields for molecular dynamics will be developed using a wealth of data. Training systematically with experimental data remains a challenge, however, especially for machine-learning potentials. Differentiable molecular simulation calculates gradients of observables with respect to parameters through molecular dynamics trajectories. Here, we improve this approach by explicitly calculating gradients using a reverse-time simulation with effectively constant memory cost...
