Quantitative Proteomics Identifies Profilin-1 as a Pseudouridine-Binding Protein.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, University of California, Riverside, California 92521-0403, United States.

Pseudouridine (Ψ) is the most abundant RNA modification in nature; however, not much is known about the biological functions of this modified nucleoside. Employing an unbiased quantitative proteomics method, we identified multiple candidate reader proteins of Ψ in RNA, including a cytoskeletal protein profilin-1 (PFN1). We demonstrated that PFN1 binds directly and selectively to Ψ-containing RNA.

Roles for the long non-coding RNA / in pancreatic beta cell function.

iScience

Section of Cell Biology and Functional Genomics, Department of Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, Imperial College London, London, UK.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as crucial regulators of beta cell function. Here, we show that an lncRNA-transcribed antisense to Pax6, annotated as Pax6os1/PAX6-AS1, was upregulated by high glucose concentrations in human as well as murine beta cell lines and islets. Elevated expression was also observed in islets from mice on a high-fat diet and patients with type 2 diabetes.

Single-cell multi-omics deciphers hepatocyte dedifferentiation and illuminates maintenance strategies.

Cell Prolif

Due to the similarity to human hepatocytes, porcine hepatocytes play an important role in hepatic research and drug evaluation. However, once hepatocytes were cultured in vitro, it was often prone to dedifferentiate, resulting in the loss of their characteristic features and normal functions, which impede their application in liver transplantation and hepatotoxic drugs evaluation. Up to now, this process has yet to be thoroughly investigated from the single-cell resolution and multi-omics perspective.

High clinical utility of long-read sequencing for precise diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia in 322 probands.

Hum Genomics

January 2025

Department of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disorders, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Child Development and Disorders, Chongqing, China.

Background: The molecular genetic diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is very challenging due to the high homology between the CYP21A2 gene and its pseudogene CYP21A1P.

Methodology: This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of targeted long-read sequencing (T-LRS) by comparing it with a control method based on the combined assay (NGS, Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and Sanger sequencing) and to introduce T-LRS as a first-tier diagnostic test for suspected CAH patients to improve the precise diagnosis of CAH.

Results: A large cohort of 562 participants including 322 probands and 240 family members was enrolled for the perspective (96 probands) and prospective study (226 probands).
