Disabled-1 (Dab1) is an essential adaptor protein that functions in the Reelin signaling pathway and is required for the regulation of neuronal migration during embryonic development. Dab1 interacts with NPXY motifs in the cytoplasmic tails of the lipoprotein receptors ApoER2 and very low density lipoprotein receptor through an amino-terminal phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain. Binding of Reelin to these receptors leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of Dab1 and the initiation of a signaling cascade that results in remodeling of the cytoskeleton. Structural and biochemical studies of the Dab1 PTB domain have demonstrated that this domain binds to both the NPXY peptide motif in the lipoprotein receptor tails as well as to the head group of phosphoinositide 4,5-P2 through energetically independent mechanisms. Here we have investigated how phosphoinositide binding by the Dab1 PTB domain influences Reelin signal transduction. Our findings in cultured primary neurons that have been transduced with lentiviral constructs expressing mutant Dab1 forms reveal that phosphoinositide binding by the Dab1 PTB domain is necessary for proper membrane localization of Dab1 and for effective transduction of a Reelin signal.

Article Synopsis
- The study utilized machine learning models to identify reliable diagnostic markers for eating disorders, major depressive disorder, and alcohol use disorder, targeting young adults aged 18-25.
- The classification models showed high accuracy rates (AUC-ROC ranging from 0.80 to 0.92) even without considering body mass index and highlighted shared predictors like neuroticism and hopelessness.
- Additionally, the models were moderately successful in predicting future symptoms related to eating disorders, depression, and alcohol use in a longitudinal sample of adolescents, indicating the potential for improved diagnosis and risk assessment in mental health.

Purpose: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health threat and its diagnosis remains challenging. This study aimed to develop a nomogram that incorporated peripheral blood transcriptional signatures and other blood tests for the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Patients And Methods: Patients with TB, patients with other definite pulmonary diseases (OPD), individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), and healthy controls (HC) were retrospectively enrolled between May 2017 and April 2018.

GULP1 is an engulfment adaptor protein containing a phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain, and existing studies have shown that it can promote glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. To further explore key metabolically related differential genes downstream of GULP1, this study conducted transcriptome analysis on adipocytes and skeletal muscle cells overexpressing GULP1. Subsequently, abnormally expressed genes were subjected to bioinformatic analysis, and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used for mutual validation with transcriptome sequencing.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health concern, impacting millions annually, with limited attention to the psychological distress it inflicts. Psychological comorbidities, such as depression, anxiety, and stress, significantly affect the quality of life (QoL) of TB patients. Available literature on this topic is restricted to the pulmonary TB (PTB) patients; while psychological issues of the extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) patients who comprise a significant proportion of this disease entity remains unexplored.
