The mitochondrial ATP synthase emerges as key hub of cellular functions controlling the production of ATP, cellular signaling, and fate. It is regulated by the ATPase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1), which is highly abundant in neurons. Herein, we ablated or overexpressed IF1 in mouse neurons to show that IF1 dose defines the fraction of active/inactive enzyme in vivo, thereby controlling mitochondrial function and the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses indicate that IF1 dose regulates mitochondrial metabolism, synaptic function, and cognition. Ablation of IF1 impairs memory, whereas synaptic transmission and learning are enhanced by IF1 overexpression. Mechanistically, quenching the IF1-mediated increase in mtROS production in mice overexpressing IF1 reduces the increased synaptic transmission and obliterates the learning advantage afforded by the higher IF1 content. Overall, IF1 plays a key role in neuronal function by regulating the fraction of ATP synthase responsible for mitohormetic mtROS signaling.

Background: Manipulating the gene expression is the key strategy to optimize the metabolic flux. Not only transcription, translation, and post-translation level control, but also the dynamic plasmid copy number (PCN) control has been studied. The dynamic PCN control systems that have been developed to date are based on the understanding of origin replication mechanisms, which limits their application to specific origins of replication and requires the use of antibiotics for plasmid maintenance.

The production of energy in the form of ATP by the mitochondrial ATP synthase must be tightly controlled. One well-conserved form of regulation is mediated via ATPase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1), which governs ATP synthase activity and gene expression patterns through a cytoprotective process known as mitohormesis. In apicomplexans, the processes regulating ATP synthase activity are not fully elucidated.

Initiation factors play critical roles in fine-tuning translation initiation, which is the first and the rate-limiting step in protein synthesis. In bacteria, initiation factors, IF1, IF2 and IF3 work in concert to accurately position the initiator tRNA (i-tRNA) in its formyl-aminoacyl form, and the mRNA start codon at the ribosomal P-site, setting the stage for accommodation of the aminoacyl-tRNA in response to the second codon, and formation of the first peptide bond. Among these, IF3 is particularly crucial in ensuring the fidelity of translation initiation as it is involved in the accuracy of the selection of i-tRNA and the start codon.

Knowledge of B cell epitopes is critical to vaccine design, diagnostics, and therapeutics. As experimental validation for epitopes is time-consuming and costly, many in silico tools have been developed to computationally predict the B cell epitopes. While most methods show poor performance, deep learning methods in recent years have shown promising results.

Background: High-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) patients require long-term surveillance with cystoscopies, cytology and upper tract imaging. Previously, we developed a genomic urine assay for surveillance of HR-NMIBC patients with high sensitivity and anticipatory value.
Objective: We aimed to validate the performance of the assay in an unselected prospectively collected cohort of HR-NMIBC patients under surveillance.
