AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A high mol wt estrogen receptor complex (mol wt: greater than 669,000) has been isolated from chromatin prepared from mouse uteri with the use of multiple protease inhibitors, exposure to DNAase I, and size exclusion HPLC (SEHPLC). This complex is stable in the presence of molybdate and 0.4 M KCl. Because receptors in the cytosol do not elute similarly to this large complex when investigated under a wide variety of conditions, it is unlikely that random receptor aggregation is responsible for the formation of this nuclear complex. Consequently, this complex may represent a collection of chromatin components that participate in the mechanisms of hormonal regulation. Since the large nuclear receptor complex can be isolated, this hypothesis can be readily subjected to extensive investigation.

Background: Computational modeling indicated that pathological high shear stress (HSS; 100 dyn/cm) is generated in pulmonary arteries (PAs; 100-500 µm) in congenital heart defects causing PA hypertension (PAH) and in idiopathic PAH with occlusive vascular remodeling. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a feature of PAH. We hypothesize that HSS induces EndMT, contributing to the initiation and progression of PAH.

Transcription factors collaborate with epigenetic regulatory factors to orchestrate cardiac differentiation for heart development, but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Here, we report that GATA-6 induces cardiac differentiation but peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) reverses GATA-6-induced cardiac differentiation, possibly because GATA-6/PPARα recruits the polycomb protein complex containing EZH2/Ring1b/BMI1 to the promoter of the cardiac-specific α-myosin heavy chain (α-MHC) gene and suppresses α-MHC expression, which ultimately inhibits cardiac differentiation. Furthermore, Ring1b ubiquitylates PPARα and GATA-6.

Background: The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and the thyrotropin receptor (TSH-R) are expressed on orbital cells and thyrocytes. These receptors are targeted in autoimmune-induced thyroid eye disease (TED). Effective therapeutic treatment of TED inhibits activation of the IGF-1R/TSH-R complex.

Repeated sequences spread throughout the genome play important roles in shaping the structure of chromosomes and facilitating the generation of new genomic variation through structural rearrangements. Several mechanisms of structural variation formation use shared nucleotide similarity between repeated sequences as substrate for ectopic recombination. We performed genome-wide analyses of direct and inverted intrachromosomal repeated sequence pairs with >200bp and >80% sequence identity in three human genome assemblies, GRCh37, GRCh38, and the T2T-CHM13 alternate assembly.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of membrane receptors in the mammalian genomes, regulate almost all known physiological processes by transducing numerous extracellular stimuli including almost two-thirds of endogenous hormones and neurotransmitters. The traditional view held that GPCR signaling occurs exclusively at the cell surface, where the receptors bind with the ligands and undergo conformational changes to recruit and activate heterotrimeric G proteins. However, with the application of advanced biochemical and biophysical techniques, this conventional model is challenged by the elucidation of spatiotemporal GPCR activation with the evidence that receptors can signal from subcellular compartments to exhibit various molecular and cellular responses with physiological and pathophysiological relevance.
