Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutic targets but PRMT7 remains an understudied member of this enzyme family. Here, the authors develop a chemical probe for PRMT7 and apply it to elucidate the role of…
Medulloblastomas lacking p53 do not express surface class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I) and are resistant to immune rejection. Tumor necrosis factor rescues MHC-I expression and synergizes with immune checkpoint inhibitors to promote rejection.
RNA in situ conformation sequencing (RIC-seq) enables the generation of three-dimensional interaction maps of RNA in cells, which sheds light on the interactions and regulatory functions of RNA.
Neuronal identity maintenance is highly regulated. Here, the authors showed that CBP and p300 safeguard neuronal identity through histone acetylation at promoters and enhancers of neuronal specific genes. The loss of both CBP and p300 impairs gene expression,…
Hua and Chen et al. show that general anesthesia activates a distinct population of central amygdala neurons and that these neurons can potently suppress pain responses through their widespread projections to many pain-processing centers in the brain.
The molecular mechanisms leading to basal extrusion are unclear. Here, the authors use the Drosophila accessory gland to model human prostate acini and show that Ras/MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways are co-activated in two autocrine loops by dEGF and dIGF, ind…
Announcement of Periodic Review: Moody's announces completion of a periodic review of ratings of BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc. New York, January 29, 2020 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has completed a periodic review of the ratings of BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc. and other ratings that are associated with the same analytical unit. The review was conducted through a portfolio review in which Moody's reassessed the appropriateness of the ratings in the context of the relevant principal methodology(ies), recent developments, and a comparison of the financial and operating profile to similarly rated peers.
Marshall et al. show that regions of the genome adopt a noncanonical Z-DNA state in the prefrontal cortex in response to fear learning and that binding of Adar1 reduces Z-DNA during extinction learning, which is required for memory flexibility.
This study elucidates how long-range chromatin loops are altered during short- and long-term changes in neural activity, and analyzes the interplay between the 3D genome and the linear epigenome during activity-dependent transcriptional responses.
In meiosis, BRCA2 associates to MEILB2 localising at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Here, the authors identify BRCA2 and MEILB2- associating protein 1 termed BRME1 to work together in regulating meiotic recombination.
MYIR introduces the VECP Starter Kit, a complete Vision Edge Computing Platform designed to support excellent... The post MYIR Introduces Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC based Vision Edge Computing Platform appeared first on Electronics-Lab.

The development of chemoresistance is a major hurdle in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, the authors show that lysyl oxidase (LOX) is overexpressed in chemoresistant TNBCs, and when inhibited reduces collagen cross-linking, fibronectin fibril assem…

The trans-synaptic interaction of the cell-adhesion molecules teneurins (TENs) with latrophilins (LPHNs) promotes excitatory synapse formation. Here authors report the high resolution cryo-EM structure of the TEN2-LPHN3 complex, describe the trimeric TEN…
