Mutations in the MID1 gene result in X-linked Opitz G/BBB syndrome (OS), a disorder that affects development of midline structures and comprises hypertelorism, cleft lip/palate, hypospadias, and laryngo-tracheo-esophageal abnormalities, and, at times, neurological, anal, and cardiac defects. MID1 gene abnormalities include missense, nonsense, and splicing mutations, small insertions, small deletions, and complex rearrangements. Here, we present a patient with Opitz G/BBB syndrome and a unique MID1 gene point mutation c.1703T

Parasitic plants pose a substantial threat to agriculture as they attack economically important crops. The stem parasitic plant Cuscuta campestris invades the host's stem with a specialized organ referred to as the haustorium, which absorbs nutrients and water from the host. Initiation of the parasitic process in C.

MID1-COMPLEMENTING ACTIVITY (MCA) is a land plant-specific, plasma membrane protein, and Ca2+ signaling component that responds to exogenous mechanical stimuli, such as touch, gravity, and hypotonic-osmotic stress, in various plant species. MCA is essential for cell proliferation and differentiation during growth and development in rice (Oryza sativa) and maize (Zea mays). However, the mechanism by which MCA mediates cell proliferation and differentiation via Ca2+ signaling remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are common congenital heart diseases, making up about 40% of cardiac malformations and can occur alone or with other defects.
  • The genetic causes of VSD are complex, involving chromosomal abnormalities and gene mutations, including known syndromes like DiGeorge and Holt-Oram.
  • Recent advancements like comparative genomic hybridization have revealed numerous copy number variations linked to VSD, highlighting the genetic diversity in affected patients.

Erdr1 Drives Macrophage Programming via Dynamic Interplay with YAP1 and Mid1.

Immunohorizons

February 2024

Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Iowa, IA City, IA.

Erythroid differentiation regulator 1 (Erdr1) is a stress-induced, widely expressed, highly conserved secreted factor found in both humans and mice. Erdr1 is linked with the Hippo-YAP1 signaling. Initially identified as an inducer of hemoglobin synthesis, Erdr1 emerged as a multifunctional protein, especially in immune cells.
