The Ski complex (composed of Ski3p, Ski8p, and the DEVH ATPase Ski2p) is a central component of the 3'-5' cytoplasmic mRNA degradation pathway in yeast. Although the proteins of the complex interact with each other as well as with Ski7p to mediate degradation by exosome, a 3'-exonuclease complex, the nature of these interactions is not well understood. Here we explore interactions within the Ski complex and between the Ski complex and Ski7p using a directed two-hybrid approach combined with coimmunoprecipitation experiments. We also test the functional significance of these interactions in vivo. Our results suggest that within the Ski complex, Ski3p serves as a scaffold protein with its C terminus interacting with Ski8p, and the sub-C terminus interacting with Ski2p, while no direct interaction between Ski2p and Ski8p was found. Ski7p interacts with the Ski complex via its interaction with Ski8p and Ski3p. In addition, inactivating the Ski complex by mutating conserved residues in the DEVH helicase motif of Ski2 did not abrogate its interaction with Ski7p, indicating that Ski2p function is not necessary for this interaction.

Successful transgenesis in model organisms has dramatically helped us understand gene function, regulation, genetic networks, and potential applications. Here, we introduce the universal single-copy knock-in system (Universal SKI System or U-SKI), designed for inserting any transgene by CRISPR/Cas9 in the genome. The Universal SKI System takes advantage of a plasmid (pSKI), which can also be used for extrachromosomal arrays, to facilitate the insertion of a transgene at specific safe harbor loci on each autosomal chromosome.

The aim of this study was to investigate patient-reported outcomes of patient expectations and fulfillment of expectations in alpine skiers who had a skiing accident and suffered a complex proximal tibial fracture (AO/OTA-Type B or C) which was treated surgically with open reduction and internal fixation. In this prospective study, 38 consecutive patients who suffered a complex tibial fracture (AO/OTA-Type B and C) caused by a skiing accident were evaluated. Before surgical treatment with open reduction and internal fixation, patient expectations were evaluated regarding outcomes on knee functionality (e.

Article Synopsis
- * By analyzing data from the Million Veteran Program and other cohorts, the study identifies 63 genetic loci linked to AMD, including 30 that were previously unknown, highlighting significant differences in risk among various ancestries.
- * The findings reveal that certain genetic risk factors, like those found in the CFH locus, have varying effects based on ancestry, suggesting that targeted therapies could be developed by considering these genetic differences.

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are nucleolytically processed to generate single-stranded DNA for homologous recombination. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae meiosis, this resection involves nicking by the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 complex (MRX), then exonucleolytic digestion by Exo1. Chromatin remodeling at meiotic DSBs is thought necessary for resection, but the remodeling enzyme was unknown.

Alpine skiing is a high-risk sport due to the possibility of severe injuries, particularly complex knee injuries. The most common injuries are ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), meniscal tears and fractures of the lower limbs. Managing these injuries requires ligament reconstructions and specific surgical interventions to optimize rehabilitation and ensure a return to competition.
