Mashup Score: 2iRhom pseudoproteases regulate ER stress-induced cell death through IP3 receptors and BCL-2 - Nature Communications - 3 year(s) ago
Cells that cannot cope with persistent endoplasmic reticulum stress will die. Here, the authors show that iRhom pseudoproteases regulate cell death by modulating the ability of BCL-2 to inhibit calcium flow through IP3R channels.

Mashup Score: 3Mapping inhibitory sites on the RNA polymerase of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus using nanobodies - Nature Communications - 3 year(s) ago
Influenza viruses carry their own RNAdependent RNA-polymerase that is highly conserved and a promising anti-viral target. Combining functional and structural data, Keown et al. characterise the inhibitory effect of nanobodies on 1918 pandemic H1N1 influenza strain polymerase complex and identify sensitive sites interfering with polymerase activity in vitro.

Mashup Score: 7Mechanisms of lncRNA biogenesis as revealed by nascent transcriptomics - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology - 3 year(s) ago
Mammalian RNA polymerase II transcribes protein-coding genes and non-coding transcription units, including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Studies applying recently developed nascent transcriptomics technology have revealed differences in transcription initiation and termination between lncRNAs and protein-coding genes, bearing relevance to genomic stress and DNA damage.

Mashup Score: 7Mechanistic insights into the three steps of poly(ADP-ribosylation) reversal - Nature Communications - 3 year(s) ago
PARG and ARH3 are the main hydrolases to reverse serine poly(ADP-ribosylation) yet their activities in the process differ. Here, the authors synthesise linear and branched poly(ADP-ribose) molecules, perform structure-function analysis and elucidate the mechanistic differences between PARG and ARH3.

Mashup Score: 9LRRK2 Is Recruited to Phagosomes and Co-recruits RAB8 and RAB10 in Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Macrophages - 4 year(s) ago
Cowley et al. use patient, control, and gene-edited human iPSC macrophages/microglia to examine endogenous expression and function of the Parkinson’s disease gene, LRRK2, in this immune subset. LRRK2 is not involved in initial phagocytic uptake of bioparticles but is recruited to LAMP1+/RAB9+ “maturing” phagosomes and is required for RAB8a and RAB10 recruitment to phagosomes, linking phagosome…
