Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains one of the most common dementias of neurodegenerative disease-related diseases. Nucleosome assembly protein 1-like 5 (NAP1L5) belongs to the NAP1L protein family, which acts as a histone chaperone. However, the function and mechanism of NAP1L5 in AD are still unclear. Bioinformatics analysis, RT-qPCR, and Western blotting results showed that NAP1L5 was downregulated in the brain tissues of AD patients and a mouse cell model of AD. NAP1L5 overexpression alleviated (Amyloid-β precursor protein) APP metabolism and Tau phosphorylation. We further demonstrated that NAP1L5 regulated the AD-like pathological characteristics through the GSK3B/Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway. Moreover, we showed that the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway, regulated by NAP1L5, was mediated by AQP1-mediated mechanism in N2a-APP695sw cell. In sum, these results suggested that NAP1L5 overexpression has neuroprotective effects and might act as potential biomarker and target for the diagnosis and treatment of AD.

A significant portion of human cancers utilize a recombination-based pathway, alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), to extend telomeres. To gain further insights into this pathway, we developed a high-throughput imaging-based screen named TAILS (telomeric ALT in situ localization screen) to identify genes that either promote or inhibit ALT activity. Screening over 1,000 genes implicated in DNA transactions, TAILS reveals both well-established and putative ALT modulators.

In this article I review mechanisms that underpin epigenetic inheritance of CpG methylation and histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me) in chromatin in fungi and mammals. CpG methylation can be faithfully inherited epigenetically at some sites for a lifetime in vertebrates and, remarkably, can be propagated for millions of years in some fungal lineages. Transmission of methylation patterns requires maintenance-type DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) that recognize hemimethylated CpG DNA produced by replication.

Adenosin triphosphate (ATP)-dependent nucleosome remodeling factors sculpt the nucleosomal landscape of eukaryotic chromatin. They deposit, evict, or reposition nucleosomes along DNA in a process termed nucleosome sliding. Remodeling has traditionally been analyzed using mononucleosomes as a model substrate.

Spermatogenesis is a key process for the sexual reproduction species. In lepidopteran insects, spermatogenesis produces two different types of sperms, in which eupyrene sperm carry genomic DNA and fertilize eggs, whereas apyrene sperm are necessary for eupyrene sperm to enter eggs. However, functional genetic studies of spermatogenesis in Plutella xylostella remain a longstanding puzzle even though the phenomenon in lepidoptera has been widely documented more than a century.

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are critical adjuvants in antiviral vaccines and cancer immunotherapy, primarily through the activation of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. Evaluating the immune responses triggered by CDNs is essential for the development of effective adjuvants. In this study, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis to characterize the immune responses elicited by the recently identified nuclease-resistant Drosophila and bacterial CDN, 3'2'-cGAMP, in mammalian immune cells.
