AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the CAP superfamily of proteins, which includes Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPS), Antigen 5 (Ag5), and Pathogenesis-related 1 (PR-1), found in various eukaryotic organisms.
- Researchers analyzed 22 Arabidopsis CAP genes to understand their similarities, locations, and expression patterns, noting that their functions are largely unknown aside from one that responds to pathogens.
- Results showed specific expression in young tissues and significant roles in lateral root development, particularly in cortical cells, indicating potential functional importance of CAP family proteins in plants.
Article Abstract
The Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPS), Antigen 5 (Ag5), and Pathogenesis-related 1 (PR-1) protein (CAP) superfamily members are found in multiple eukaryotic organisms, including yeasts, animals, and plants. Although one of the plant CAP family genes, is known to respond to pathogen infection in plants, the functions of other CAP family genes in remain largely unknown. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the similarities, loci, and expression patterns of 22 Arabidopsis CAP genes/proteins, providing a clue to elucidate their molecular functions. According to the promoter-β-glucuronidase (GUS) analysis, members of the CAP family were expressed in various young tissues or organs, such as root and shoot meristems, reproductive tissues, and particularly at the lateral root initiation site before the formation of the lateral root primordium, with distinct expression specificity. In particular, , , and were specifically expressed in the cortical cells at the lateral root developing regions, suggesting that these genes may function in lateral root development. Thus, the expression patterns of Arabidopsis CAP family genes suggest that CAP family proteins may have certain function in the expressed organs or tissues in plant.

Background: Prenatal whole exome sequencing (WES) is becoming an increasingly used diagnostic tool for fetuses with structural anomalies. However, the identification of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in clinically relevant genes can significantly complicate prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling.
Case Presentation: A fetus conceived through in vitro fertilization at the third attempt presented with polydactyly and molar tooth sign at 24 + 6 weeks of gestation.

The kingdom of fungi contains highly diverse species. However, fundamental processes sustaining life such as RNA metabolism are much less comparatively studied in Fungi than in other kingdoms. A key factor in the regulation of mRNA expression is the cap-binding protein eIF4E, which plays roles in mRNA nuclear export, storage and translation.

Objectives: Transition from pediatric to adult health services is a difficult and common problem in many medical specialties, particularly in mental health, fraught with pitfalls that threaten its success and disrupt the continuity of care. However, there is a lack of research on this topic. The aim of this study was to characterize the perceptions of Portuguese physicians who are responsible for direct intervention in this process-child and adolescent psychiatrists (CAP) and adult psychiatrists (AP)-and to explore the possibilities for improvement.

Background: Many countries have developed their country/nation-wide multidimensional area-based index on deprivation or socioeconomic status for resource allocation, service planning and research. However, whether each geographical unit proxied by a single index is sufficiently small to contain a relatively homogeneous population remains questionable. Globally, this is the first study that presents the distribution of domestic households by the territory-wide economic status index decile groups within each of the 2,252 small subunit groups (SSUGs) throughout Hong Kong, with a median study population of 1,300 and a median area of 42,400 m.
