MBOAT7 loss of function in hepatocytes contributes to ethanol-induced liver injury, offering crucial insights into the dysregulated lipid metabolism and impaired autophagy associated with advanced liver disease.
Warming and altered precipitation reduce the growth rates of alpine soil bacteria by 40-90%, and the growth of ~70% taxa is influenced by antagonistic interactions between factors.
Evolution-guided structure-function analyses reveal that CD4 transmembrane and intracellular juxtamembrane motifs play a more profound role in initiating pMHCII-specific TCR-CD3 signaling than previously characterized CD4-Lck interactions.
Using sequence-determined functional genomic features instead of original genotypes can partially overcome challenges in genetic association studies, such as rare variant exclusion and population structure.
Detailed molecular characterization of a constitutively active bacterial NADPH oxidase (NOX) provides clues to the activation mechanism required to trigger electron transfer and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in tightly regulated eukaryotic NOX.
