Microtubule organization and dynamics are critical for key developmental processes such as cell division, elongation, and morphogenesis. Microtubule severing is an essential regulator of microtubules and is exclusively executed by KATANIN 1 in In this study, we comparatively studied the proteome-wide effects in two mutants. Thus, shotgun proteomic analysis of roots and aerial parts of single nucleotide mutant and T-DNA insertion mutant was carried out. We have detected 42 proteins differentially abundant in both and KATANIN 1 dysfunction altered the abundance of proteins involved in development, metabolism, and stress responses. The differential regulation of tubulins and microtubule-destabilizing protein MDP25 implied a feedback microtubule control in mutants. Furthermore, deregulation of profilin 1, actin-depolymerizing factor 3, and actin 7 was observed. These findings were confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of actin and by microscopic observation of actin filaments using fluorescently labeled phalloidin. Results obtained by quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that changed protein abundances were not a consequence of altered expression levels of corresponding genes in the mutants. In conclusion, we show that abundances of several cytoskeletal proteins as well as organization of microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton are amended in accordance with defective microtubule severing.

Circular RNA (circRNA) can sponge miRNA participate in the tumorigenesis and progression of various cancers. We substantiate for the first time that the fusion circular RNA (F-circRNA) F-circEA1 is involved in driving the echinoderm microtubule associated-protein like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase variant 1-positive (EML4-ALK1) lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression and the expression of the parental gene EML4-ALK1, molecular mechanisms of F-circEA1 in the EML4-ALK1 LUAD remain unknown. Bioinformatics analysis showed that only miR-4673 can bind to F-circEA1 and bind to EML4-ALK1 3'-UTR to regulate the expression of EML4-ALK1.

Article Synopsis
- Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are crucial in understanding complex diseases and vary across different populations, necessitating large sample studies for accurate analysis.
- The CNV-Finder pipeline utilizes deep learning, specifically Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, to streamline the identification of CNVs in specific genomic areas, making subsequent analyses like genome sequencing more efficient.
- The tool has been validated with data from various cohorts, focusing on genes related to neurological diseases, and includes an interactive web application for researchers to visualize and refine their findings based on model predictions.

The present paper deals with the investigation into the cGAS-STING pathway, focusing on the signaling of interferons through mathematical modeling and identifying a significant positive feedback loop regulated by STING for activation of type 1 interferons (IFN-1). Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is responsible for detecting cytosolic DNA and initiating the STING (stimulator of interferon genes) pathway, which in turn causes the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. In addition to being crucial for pathogen identification, this route interacts with autophagy, a cellular mechanism that is necessary for immunological homeostasis and pathogen removal.

The muscleblind family of mRNA splicing regulators is conserved across species and regulates the development of muscles and the nervous system. However, how Muscleblind proteins regulate neuronal fate specification and neurite morphogenesis at the single-neuron level is not well understood. In this study, we found that the C.
