The tripartite motif (TRIM) protein, TRIM5alpha, restricts some retroviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), from infecting the cells of particular species. TRIM proteins contain RING, B-box, coiled-coil and, in some cases, B30.2(SPRY) domains. We investigated the properties of human TRIM family members closely related to TRIM5. These TRIM proteins, like TRIM5alpha, assembled into homotrimers and co-localized in the cytoplasm with TRIM5alpha. TRIM5alpha turned over more rapidly than related TRIM proteins. TRIM5alpha, TRIM34 and TRIM6 associated with HIV-1 capsid-nucleocapsid complexes assembled in vitro; the TRIM5alpha and TRIM34 interactions with these complexes were dependent on their B30.2(SPRY) domains. Only TRIM5alpha potently restricted infection by the retroviruses studied; overexpression of TRIM34 resulted in modest inhibition of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV(mac)) infection. In contrast to the other TRIM genes examined, TRIM5 exhibited evidence of positive selection. The unique features of TRIM5alpha among its TRIM relatives underscore its special status as an antiviral factor.

Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a leading cause of primary aldosteronism (PA), a condition marked by excessive aldosterone secretion. CYP11B2, the aldosterone synthase, plays a critical role in aldosterone biosynthesis and the development of APA. Despite its significance, encoding regulatory mechanisms governing CYP11B2, particularly its degradation, remain poorly understood.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal malignant tumors that lacks effective treatment, and gemcitabine-based chemoresistance occurs frequently. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies for PC are urgently needed. Tripartite motif containing 59 (TRIM59) plays an important role in breast and lung cancer chemoresistance.

This study explores the epigenetic mechanism of MLL1 regulating trophoblast ferroptosis in preeclampsia (PE). A murine model of PE was established, and HTR-8/SVneo cells were induced by Erastin to establish an in vitro cell model. GSH, MDA, Fe, and ROS levels were measured to assess ferroptosis.

Zygotic genome activation occurs in two-cell (2C) embryos, and a 2C-like state is also activated in sporadic (~1%) naïve embryonic stem cells in mice. Elevated chromatin accessibility is critical for the 2C-like state to occur, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Zscan4 exhibits burst expression in 2C embryos and 2C-like cells.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify key parameters of a scoring system to be developed to predict the homozygous M694V genotype in patients clinically diagnosed with familial Mediterranean fever.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analysis of 472 pediatric familial Mediterranean fever patients with a homozygous genotype on exon 10, followed at our tertiary pediatric rheumatology clinic between June 2016 and June 2023. The patients were categorized into 2 groups based on their genotypes: group 1 comprised 402 patients (85.
