A mechanosensitive ion channel physically and genetically interacts with proteins that function at endoplasmic reticulum–plasma membrane contact sites.
An RNAi screen in mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line targeting epigenetic regulators revealed a novel neuroprotection of Prmt5 and uncovered its nucleus translocation feature and epigenetic mechanism in cerebral ischemia.
A whole-genome genetic screen links new aspects of oocyte maturation to proteostasis renewal in the immortal Caenorhabditis elegans germ-cell lineage and reveals similarities to somatic cell maintenance during aging.
Mutations conferring resistance to Escherichia coli against the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine can have opposite effects on bacterial drug degradation and therefore can increase or decrease the chemotherapy load on neighboring cancer cells.
Five previously unknown alternative genetic codes are found in a screen of bacterial and archaeal genomes by a new computational method called Codetta, lending new insights into the process of their evolution.
The ubiquitous second messenger cyclic AMP, produced by Rv3645/MacE, controls long-chain fatty acid metabolism and intrinsic multidrug resistance in M. tuberculosis.
