Currently, the immunohistochemical evaluation of cytotoxic granule-associated proteins such as TIA-1 and granzyme B can be carried out on paraffin sections. This procedure has broadened our knowledge of cytotoxic lymphoid neoplasms. Their detection is now regarded as a useful adjunctive in some characterizations of cytotoxic T- or natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoma, mostly in lymphoma of extranodal origin. We report two cases of nodal cytotoxic large T-cell lymphoma with identical biologic properties. Both cases presented with systemic lymphadenopathy, lymphomatous bone marrow involvement, and thrombocytopenia. The clinical course was fulminant, and both patients died within 1 week of presentation. The cells had a characteristic immunophenotype of CD2+, CD3+, CD4-, CD5-, CD8+, CD30 -/+, CD56-, CD57-, TCR alpha/beta+, and TCR gamma/delta-. They also expressed the cytotoxic granule-associated proteins of TIA-1 and granzyme B, and exhibited clonal rearrangements of the T-cell receptor beta chain gene. Monoclonal integration of Epstein-Barr virus was also detected. The present cases exhibited clinicopathological features that were distinct from other types of malignant lymphoma expressing cytotoxic granule-associated proteins.

Welander distal myopathy is a rare myopathy with prominent and early involvement of distal upper extremity muscles, prevalent in individuals of Scandinavian origin, and caused by a founder mutation in the cytotoxic granule-associated RNA-binding protein (T-cell intracellular antigen-1; TIA1), E384K. Different pathogenic variants in the TIA1 gene, distinct from the founder 1, have recently been associated with frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), suggesting that TIA1-related disorders belong to the group of multisystem proteinopathies. We describe the first case of a two-generation family with the founder E384K TIA1 mutation demonstrating phenotypic variability; the mother manifested as Welander myopathy, whereas 2 daughters manifested as ALS.

Small Tail Han (STH) sheep, a unique Chinese breed, is recognized for its early maturity, year-round estrus, and prolificacy. However, the molecular mechanism of its high prolificacy has not been fully elucidated. The Proteomics approach is feasible and effective to reveal the proteins involved in the complex physiological processes of any organism.

Protein domains biased toward a few amino acid types are vital for the formation of biomolecular condensates in living cells. These membraneless compartments are formed by molecules exhibiting a range of molecular motions and structural order. Missense mutations increase condensate persistence lifetimes or structural order, properties that are thought to underlie pathological protein aggregation.

The focus of the current study was the use of sewage wastewater to obtain PHA from a co-culture to produce a sustainable polymer. Two halotolerant bacteria, 14SM (MZ801771) and WK31 (MT453992), were grown in a consortium to produce PHA. Sewage wastewater (SWW) was used to produce PHA, and glucose was used as a reference substrate to compare the growth and PHA production parameters.

The functions of mammalian Atg8 proteins (mATG8s) expand beyond canonical autophagy and include processes collectively referred to as Atg8ylation. Global modulation of protein synthesis under stress conditions is governed by MTOR and liquid-liquid phase separated condensates containing ribonucleoprotein particles known as stress granules (SGs). We report that lysosomal damage induces SGs acting as a hitherto unappreciated inhibitor of protein translation via EIF2A/eIF2α phosphorylation while favoring an ATF4-dependent integrated stress response.
