Myristoylation of a secreted protein, identified in a global myristoylation analysis of the eukaryotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii, is important for host cell invasion.

A critical assessment of published microRNA/microRNA-like provides clues on features and conservation of these hairpin RNAs in fungi in addition to a centralized loci annotation resource for the community.

Telomerase gene therapy represents a novel effective treatment for pulmonary fibrosis associated with short telomeres by improving pulmonary function, decreasing inflammation and accelerating fiber disappearance in fibrotic lungs.

A combination of X-ray crystallography, molecular dynamics and small angle X-ray scattering shows that the transcription antiterminator M2-1 is a structurally dynamic homotetramer that undergoes large concerted conformational changes upon binding its target RNA.

Differences in the usage of DNA repair pathways may give rise to the unique patterns of Y-linked mutations that, together with natural selection, shape rapid Y chromosome evolution.

Cells adapt to extracellular hypertonicities using regulatory volume increase (RVI), and TNFR1-mediated NFkB activation is indispensable for RVI, but the increased cytoplasmic macromolecular crowding can inhibit TNFR1 signaling and prevent RVI at severe hypertonicities.

Children with ASD showed a significant divergence in gaze patterns compared to typically developing children, intensifying over early childhood, with implications for developmental and adaptive functioning.

Structure-function analysis of the super elongation complex formed when HIV replicates inside cells reveals that the HIV-1 Tat protein binds to a cleft between P-TEFb, an enzyme that is involved in normal transcription, and AFF4, a protein that is used to build the super elongation complex

Daily administration of the farnesyltransferase inhibitor lonafarnib decreases central artery stiffness, increases distal artery vasoactivity, and improves left ventricular function consistent with increased survival in a mouse model of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.

The condensin I subunit Cap-G is expressed in post-mitotic neurons and its removal, especially from less mature neurons, results in gene expression changes, reduced survival and behavioural defects in Drosophila.
