Although significant progress has been achieved in elucidating the genetic architecture of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), identifying genes underlying the pathogenesis has been challenging. The NZM2410-derived lupus susceptibility Sle3 locus is associated with T cell hyperactivity and activated myeloid cells. However, candidate genes associated with these phenotypes have not been identified.

To determine the mechanisms that mediate resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) infection in household contacts (HHCs) of patients with tuberculosis (TB), we followed 452 latent TB infection-negative (LTBI-) HHCs for 2 years. Those who remained LTBI- throughout the study were identified as nonconverters.

Regulation of Aberrant Protein Production (RAPP) is a protein quality control in mammalian cells. RAPP degrades mRNAs of nascent proteins not able to associate with their natural interacting partners during synthesis at the ribosome. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of the pathway, its substrates, or its specificity.
