The Erwinia chrysanthemi (strain 3937) celY gene encoding the minor endoglucanase (EGY) was sequenced. The analysis of the upstream region allowed us to identify an in vivo active promoter recognized by the NtrA (sigma 54) holoenzyme. No similarity was found between the predicted amino acid (aa) sequences of EGY and either the Er. chrysanthemi major endoglucanase, EGZ, or the Er. carotovora CelS endoglucanase. In contrast, a very high level of identity, both at the nucleotide and the predicted aa levels, was found between celY and an EG-encoding gene from Cellulomonas uda, a Gram + bacterium taxonomically distant from Er. chrysanthemi. By comparing the molar G + C% of the cellulase-encoding genes and that of Er. chrysanthemi and C. uda chromosomal DNAs, we speculate that celY was transferred from Er. chrysanthemi to C. uda.

The complex pathology of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a main contributor to the difficulties in achieving a successful therapeutic regimen. Thyroxine (T4) administration has been shown to prevent the cognitive impairments induced by mTBI in mice but the mechanism is poorly understood. To understand the underlying mechanism, we carried out a single cell transcriptomic study to investigate the spatiotemporal effects of T4 on individual cell types in the hippocampus and frontal cortex at three post-injury stages in a mouse model of mTBI.

A six-year-old girl with restrictive cardiomyopathy and hypertrabeculation, due to the early onset of her disease, whole exome sequencing was conducted, revealing the presence of a novel heterozygous missense variant in the FLNC gene. The same gene variant was also identified in her father, who, at an adult age, displayed normal imaging results and was symptom-free. This variant has not been reported in population databases or current medical literature and is classified as likely pathogenic.

Article Synopsis
- Cold exposure activates sympathetic nerves that increase fat cell (adipocyte) thermogenesis through a protein called uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), which varies by sex and fat location.
- Mammary gland duct cells in female mice influence UCP1 expression in subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) by releasing factors called 'mammokines.'
- Research shows that these mammokines, particularly lipocalin 2, can limit UCP1 expression, resulting in lower fat oxidation and energy expenditure in females compared to males, highlighting sex-specific differences in fat metabolism.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the complexities of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) by analyzing tissue samples from the hippocampus, frontal cortex, and blood leukocytes at acute and subacute phases, revealing disruptions in gene expression patterns.
- - Researchers found that astrocytes play a crucial role in regulating cell communication after mTBI and identified the gene mt-Rnr2, which may serve as a new target for treatment, contributing to cognitive recovery.
- - The findings provide insights into how mTBI affects gene programs over time and highlight potential therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring brain function.
