Pmr1 is the Golgi/ER calcium pump, while Rch1 is a newly identified negative regulator of calcium influx in the plasma membrane of yeast cells. We show here that CaRch1 plays a dominant role over CaPmr1 in response of Candida albicans to SDS and tunicamycin stresses, while CaPmr1 has a major role in cell wall stress. Deletion of CaRCH1 increases the calcium/calcineurin signaling level in cells lacking CaPMR1. Calcineurin function is required for the role of CaRch1 in SDS stresses, while it is required for the function of CaPmr1 under all conditions examined. Disruption of CaRCH1 alone does not reduce the cell wall chitin, mannan or β-glucan content, but lack of CaRCH1 slightly decreases the chitin content of cells lacking CaPMR1. Furthermore, CaRch1 and CaPmr1 have an additive effect on filamentation of C. albicans cells in vitro. Cells lacking both CaRCH1 and CaPMR1 and cells lacking CaPMR1 alone show a similar degree of virulence attenuation, being much more attenuated than cells lacking CaRCH1 alone. Therefore, CaRch1 genetically interacts with CaPmr1 in the regulation of in vitro filamentation in C. albicans.

The organization of the human genome in space and time is critical for transcriptional regulation and cell fate determination. However, robust methods for tracking genome organization or genomic interactions over time in living cells are lacking. Here, we developed a multicolor DNA labeling system, ParSite, to simultaneously track triple genomic loci in the U2OS cells.

Background: The morbidity and mortality of sepsis remain high, and so far specific diagnostic and therapeutic means are lacking.
Objective: To screen novel biomarkers for sepsis.
Methods: Raw sepsis data were downloaded from the Chinese National Genebank (CNGBdb) and screened for differentially expressed RNAs.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is widely used as a bone graft. However, information on the head-to-head osteoinductivity and in vivo performance of micro- and nanosized natural and synthetic HA is still lacking. Here, we fabricated nanosized bovine HA (nanoBHA) by using a wet ball milling method and compared its in vitro and in vivo performance with microsized BHA, nanosized synthetic HA (nanoHA), and microsized synthetic HA (HA).

Understanding how intratumoral immune populations coordinate antitumor responses after therapy can guide treatment prioritization. We systematically analyzed an established immunotherapy, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), by assessing 348,905 single-cell transcriptomes from 74 longitudinal bone marrow samples of 25 patients with relapsed leukemia; a subset was evaluated by both protein- and transcriptome-based spatial analysis. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) DLI responders, we identified clonally expanded CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes with in vitro specificity for patient-matched AML.

The stability of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is tightly regulated during transcriptional elongation for proper control of gene expression. Our recent studies revealed that promoter-proximal Pol II is destabilized via the ubiquitin E3 ligase cullin 3 (CUL3) upon loss of transcription elongation factor SPT5. Here, we investigate how CUL3 recognizes chromatin-bound Pol II as a substrate.
