Development of mouse thymocytes through the pre-TCR checkpoint requires WNK1 kinase signalling via the OXSR1 and STK39 kinases and the SLC12A2 ion co-transporter leading to MYC-dependent cell proliferation.
Evolutionary adaptation to a constitutive perturbation of DNA replication reveals that adaptive mutations in three conserved pathways interact to restore faithful chromosome replication and segregation.

Along with preventing D-amino acids from being incorporated into proteins, D-aminoacyl-tRNA deacylase clears achiral glycine that is incorrectly attached to tRNAAla.
CDKG1 is a D-cyclin dependent retinoblastoma related protein kinase whose abundance scales with cell size and controls cell division cycle number during multiple fission.
Biallelic MAD2L1BP variants contribute to oocyte metaphase I arrest in women with primary infertility and p31comet is required for human oocyte maturation.
