The histone acetyltransferase HBO1, also known as KAT7, is a major chromatin modifying enzyme responsible for H3 and H4 acetylation. It is found within two distinct tetrameric complexes, the JADE subunit-containing complex and BRPF subunit-containing complex. The HBO1-JADE complex acetylates lysine 5, 8 and 12 of histone H4, and the HBO1-BRPF complex acetylates lysine 14 of histone H3. HBO1 regulates gene transcription, DNA replication, DNA damage repair, and centromere function. It is involved in diverse signaling pathways and plays crucial roles in development and stem cell biology. Recent work has established a strong relationship of HBO1 with the histone methyltransferase MLL/KMT2A in acute myeloid leukemia. Here, we discuss functional and pathological links of HBO1 to cancer, highlighting the underlying mechanisms that may pave the way to the development of novel anti-cancer therapies.

Introduction: The α6 subunit-containing GABA receptors (α6GABARs) are highly expressed in the trigeminal ganglia (TG), the sensory hub of the trigeminovascular system (TGVS). Hypo-GABAergic transmission in the TG was reported to contribute to migraine-related behavioral and histopathological phenotypes. Previously, we found that Compound 6, an α6GABAR-selective positive allosteric modulator (PAM), significantly alleviated TGVS activation-induced peripheral and central sensitization in a capsaicin-induced migraine-mimicking model.

Phosphoethanolamine (pEtN) cellulose is a naturally occurring modified cellulose produced by several Enterobacteriaceae. The minimal components of the E. coli cellulose synthase complex include the catalytically active BcsA enzyme, a hexameric semicircle of the periplasmic BcsB protein, and the outer membrane (OM)-integrated BcsC subunit containing periplasmic tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR).

Phosphoethanolamine (pEtN) cellulose is a naturally occurring modified cellulose produced by several Enterobacteriaceae. The minimal components of the cellulose synthase complex include the catalytically active BcsA enzyme, an associated periplasmic semicircle of hexameric BcsB, as well as the outer membrane (OM)-integrated BcsC subunit containing periplasmic tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR). Additional subunits include BcsG, a membrane-anchored periplasmic pEtN transferase associated with BcsA, and BcsZ, a conserved periplasmic cellulase of unknown biological function.

The etiology of schizophrenia (SCZ) is multifactorial, and depending on a host of genetic and environmental factors. Two putative SCZ susceptibility genes, Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia-1 (DISC1) and reelin (RELN), interact at a molecular level, suggesting that combined disruption of both may lead to an intensified SCZ phenotype. To examine this gene-gene interaction, we produced a double mutant mouse line.
