System T is a Na+-independent transport system that selectively transports aromatic amino acids. Here, we determined the structure of the human T-type amino-acid transporter-1 (TAT1) cDNA and gene (SLC16A10). The human TAT1 cDNA encoded a 515-amino-acid protein with 12 putative membrane-spanning domains. Human SLC16A10 was localized on human chromosome 6, mapped to 6q21-q22. SLC16A10 contains six exons spanning 136 kb. In contrast to rat TAT1, which is mainly present in the intestine, human TAT1 was strongly expressed in human kidney as well as in human intestine. Expression of human TAT1 in Xenopus laevis oocytes demonstrated the Na+-independent transport of tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and L-dopa, indicating that human TAT1 is a transporter subserving system T. Because human TAT1 is proposed to be crucial to the efficient absorption of aromatic amino acids from intestine and kidney, its defect could be involved in the disruption of aromatic amino-acid transport, such as in blue diaper syndrome.

Membrane trafficking is a conserved process required for import, export, movement, and distribution of proteins and other macromolecules within cells. The Caenorhabditis elegans NIMA-related kinases NEKL-2 (human NEK8/9) and NEKL-3 (human NEK6/7) are conserved regulators of membrane trafficking and are required for the completion of molting. Using a genetic approach we identified reduction-of-function mutations in tat-1 that suppress nekl-associated molting defects.

Article Synopsis
- Proper T-cell metabolism is essential for an effective immune response, but disruptions can lead to diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders.
- The study identifies MYO1F as crucial for T-cell activation and shows that knocking out Myo1f in mice increases tumor burden and affects autoimmune disease severity due to impaired T-cell function.
- The research also demonstrates how MYO1F regulation influences glycolysis and T-cell growth, particularly in the context of a fusion protein related to a type of lymphoma, indicating potential therapeutic targets for treatment.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of abdominal fat characteristics measured by computed tomography (CT) in identifying early recurrence within one year post-initial transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in patients with nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). A predictive model integrating fat features and clinical factors was developed to guide individualized treatment.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 203 NMIBC patients from two medical centers was conducted.

Electronic address:
Grade is an important determinant of progression in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) 2004/2016 grading system is recommended, other systems such as WHO1973 and WHO1999 are still widely used. Recently, a hybrid (three-tier) system was proposed, separating WHO2004/2016 high grade (HG) into HG/grade 2 (G2) and HG/G3 while maintaining low grade.
