摘要:Over 50 hereditary degenerative disorders are caused by expansions of short tandem DNA repeats (STRs). (GAA)n repeat expansions are responsible for Friedreich's ataxia as well as late- onset cerebellar ataxias (LOCAs). Thus, the mechanisms of (GAA)n repeat expansions attract broad scientific attention. To investigate the role of DNA nicks in this process, we utilized a CRISPR-Cas9 nickase system to introduce targeted nicks adjacent to the (GAA)n repeat tract. We found that DNA nicks 5 ' of the...

摘要:Synaptic vesicles (SVs) store and transport neurotransmitters to the presynaptic active zone for release by exocytosis. After release, SV proteins and excess membrane are recycled via endocytosis, and new SVs can be formed in a clathrin- dependent manner. This process maintains complex molecular composition of SVs through multiple recycling rounds. Previous studies explored the molecular composition of SVs through proteomic analysis and fluorescent microscopy, proposing a model for an average ...

摘要:Low cerebrospinal (CSF) arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentration is a biomarker of social impairment in low- social monkeys and children with autism, suggesting that AVP administration may improve primate social functioning. However, AVP administration also increases aggression, at least in neurotypical animals with intact AVP signaling. Here, we tested the effects of a voluntary drug administration method in low- social male rhesus monkeys with high autistic- like trait burden. Monkeys receiv...

摘要:The physics of membranes, a classic subject, acquires new momentum from twodimensional (2D) materials multilayers. This work reports the surprising results emerged during a theoretical study of equilibrium geometry of bilayers as freestanding membranes. While ordinary membranes are prone to buckle around compressive impurities, we predict that all 2D material freestanding bilayers universally undergo, even if impurity-free, a spontaneous out-of-plane buckling. The moir & eacute; network nodes ...

摘要:The major histocompatibility complex class I related protein (MR1) presents microbially derived vitamin B2 precursors to mucosal- associated invariant T (MAIT) cells. MR1 can also present other metabolites to activate MR1- restricted T cells expressing more diverse T cell receptors (TCRs), some with anti- tumor reactivity. However, knowledge of the range of the antigen(s) that can activate diverse MR1- reactive T cells remains incomplete. Here, we identify pyridoxal (vitamin B6) as a naturally...

摘要:Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) latently infected neurons display diverse patterns in the distribution of the viral genomes within the nucleus. A key pattern involves quiescent HSV-1 genomes sequestered in promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs) forming viral DNA- containing PML-NBs (vDCP NBs). Using a cellular model that replicates vDCP NB formation, we previously demonstrated that these viral genomes are chromatinized with the H3.3 histone variant modified on its lysine 9 by trimethyl...

摘要:Lethal COVID-19 outcomes are attributed to classic cytokine storm. We revisit this using RNA sequencing of nasopharyngeal and 40 autopsy samples from patients dying of SARS- CoV-2. Subsets of the 100 top- upregulated genes in nasal swabs are upregulated in the heart, lung, kidney, and liver, but not mediastinal lymph nodes. Twenty- two of these are noncanonical immune genes, which we link to components of the renin- angiotensin- activation- system that manifest as increased fibrin deposition, ...

摘要:The fact that rapid brain size increase was clearly a key aspect of human evolution has prompted many studies focusing on this phenomenon, and many suggestions as to the underlying evolutionary patterns and processes. No study to date has however separated out the contributions of change through time within vs. between hominin species while simultaneously incorporating effects of body size. Using a phylogenetic approach never applied before to paleoanthropological data, we show that relative b...
