Animal genomes are packaged into chromatin, a highly dynamic macromolecular structure of DNA and histone proteins organised into nucleosomes. This accommodates packaging of lengthy genomic sequences within the physical confines of the nucleus while also enabling precise regulation of access to genetic information. However, histones existed before chromatin and have lesser-known functions beyond genome regulation.

[Knockout of in HEK293 cells by CRISPR/Cas9].

We knocked out the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (- in HEK293 cells CRISPR/Cas9 to reveal the effects of knockout on the key factors in the type I interferon signaling pathway. Three single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting were designed, and the recombination vectors were constructed on the basis of the pX459 vector and used to transfect HEK293 cells, which were screened by puromycin subsequently. Furthermore, a mimic of virus, poly I: C, was used to transfect the cells screened out.

Thyroid Hormone Action by Genomic and Nongenomic Molecular Mechanisms.

Methods Mol Biol

November 2024

Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas "Sols-Morreale", Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.

The thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), are pivotal in regulating various physiological processes including growth, development, and metabolism. The biological actions of thyroid hormones are primarily initiated by binding to nuclear thyroid hormone receptors (TRs). These receptors, belonging to the superfamily of nuclear receptors, act as ligand-dependent transcription factors.

Article Synopsis
  • The jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) gene family is important in regulating key traits in crops, but its characterization in eggplants was previously unreported.
  • In this study, researchers identified 13 SmJAZ genes on 9 chromosomes, classified into 5 subgroups, and found their involvement in various plant responses to environmental stimuli.
  • Additionally, overexpressing SmJAZ10 reduced chlorophyll content in seedlings and altered the expression of related genes, suggesting its potential role in enhancing eggplant quality through jasmonate signaling.

Micronuclei (MN), defined as small extra-nuclear chromatin bodies enclosed by a nuclear envelope, serve as noticeable markers of chromosomal instability (CIN). The MN have been used for breast cancer (BC) screening, diagnosis, and prognosis. However, more recently they have gained attention as seats for active chromosomal rearrangements.
