DNA-lacZ fusion libraries of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used to select genes coordinately regulated by the Ras-cAMP-cAPK signalling pathway. Sixteen new genes (AGP1, APE2, APE3, FPS1, GUT2, MDH2, PLB2, PYK2, RNR3, SUR1, UGA1, YHR033w, YBR006w, YHR143w, YMR086w and YOR173w) were found to be repressed by cAMP. Most of these genes encode for metabolic enzymes and are induced by nutritional limitations. These common properties suggest a role of this pathway in the metabolic adjustment of the cell to nutritional variations. The induction of 10 of these genes is reduced in the msn2,msn4 double mutant, which emphasizes the role of the Msn2/4p transcriptional activators in mediating the Ras-cAMP-cAPK signalling pathway. The Msn2p/Msn4p-independent expression of the six other genes suggests the existence of other regulatory systems under the control of this pathway.

Background: CLP36 is also known as PDZ and LIM Domain 1 (PDLIM1) that is a ubiquitously-expressed α-actinin-binding cytoskeletal protein involved in carcinogenesis, and our current study aims to explore its involvement in lymphoma.
Methods: Accordingly, the CLP36 expression pattern in lymphoma and its association with the overall survival was predicted. Then, qPCR was applied to gauge CLP36 expression in lymphoma cells and determine the knockdown efficiency.

The gamma-ray-induced random mutagenesis of an engineered β-carotene-producing XL1-Blue resulted in the variant Ajou 45, which exhibits significantly enhanced β-carotene production. The whole-genome sequencing of Ajou 45 identified 55 mutations, notably including a reduction in the copy number of , encoding adenylate cyclase, a key enzyme regulating intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels. While the parental XL1-Blue strain harbors two copies of , Ajou 45 retains only one, potentially leading to reduced intracellular cAMP concentrations.

Unintentional, early pregnancy alcohol consumption affects embryonic development. During the peri-implantation stage, coinciding with the transition from naive to primed pluripotency, the long isoform of KDM2B (KDM2BLF) underlies the de novo establishment of polycomb repressive complex (PRC) functions at promoters after fertilization. However, it remains unclear whether and how ethanol exposure affects this spatiotemporal chromatin setting.

Navigating the duality of opioids' potent analgesia and side effects, including tolerance and hyperalgesia, is a significant challenge in chronic pain management, often prompting hazardous dose escalation to maintain analgesic effects. The peripheral mu-opioid receptor (MOR) is known to mediate these contradictory effects. Here, we show that the fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor 3 (FLT3) in peripheral somatosensory neurons drives morphine tolerance and hyperalgesia in a male rodent model.

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-associated complication characterised by new-onset hypertension and proteinuria. This study explored the therapeutic potential of puerarin (Pue) in PE and investigated the underlying mechanism, with a focus on placental ferroptosis.
Methods: Using an N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced PE mouse model, we assessed the effects of Pue on PE phenotypes and placental ferroptosis.
