Article Abstract
Budding yeast centromeres are comprised of approximately 125-bp DNA sequences that direct formation of the kinetochore, a specialized chromatin structure that mediates spindle attachment to chromosomes. We report here a novel role for the histone deposition complex chromatin assembly factor I (CAF-I) in building centromeric chromatin. The contribution of CAF-I to kinetochore function overlaps that of the Hir proteins, which have also been implicated in nucleosome formation and heterochromatic gene silencing. cacDelta hirDelta double mutant cells lacking both CAF-I and Hir proteins are delayed in anaphase entry in a spindle assembly checkpoint-dependent manner. Further, cacDelta and hirDelta deletions together cause increased rates of chromosome missegregation, genetic synergies with mutations in kinetochore protein genes, and alterations in centromeric chromatin structure. Finally, CAF-I subunits and Hir1 are enriched at centromeres, indicating that these proteins make a direct contribution to centromeric chromatin structures.

Determine whether APOE gene polymorphism is associated with hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Continuously reviewed hospitalized LVO-AIS patients. According to whether the patients carried APOE allele ε 4, they were divided into 2 groups: ε4 carriers and non-ε4 carriers.

RNA localization and local translation are widespread phenomena that play key roles in a plethora of cellular processes ranging from embryo patterning to general cellular functions. The traditional paradigm assigns localization elements to cis-acting RNA sequences which assemble into complexes that regulate mRNA transport and translation, and the mRNA is generally transported while remaining translationally silent. However, recent evidence has shown that the nascent protein can also play an essential role in RNA localization and can enable polysomes to control their own transport and be delivered where and when they are needed.

Doubled haploid (DH) technology has accelerated the development of inbreds in maize. Worldwide, breeding efforts have led to the development of diverse maternal haploid inducer (HI) lines adapted to temperate and tropical conditions. So far, no HI line adapted to subtropical conditions has been developed.

Objectives: This study aims to predict the severity of Parkinson's disease (PD) by leveraging a comprehensive dataset integrating cerebrospinal fluid protein and peptide data sourced from UniProt, normalized protein expression metrics, clinical assessments, and gait data. The dataset comprised 248 PD patients monitored longitudinally, with periodic evaluations including 227 proteins, 971 peptides, gait parameters, and Movement Disorder Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) scores at baseline 0, 6, 12, and 24 months.
Methods: A multifaceted machine learning framework was employed, consisting of random forest, TensorFlow decision forests, and a custom-developed phaseshift ensembling model.
4'-Methoxyresveratrol Improves Hepatic Insulin Resistance Induced by a High-Fat-Diet via Anti-Oxidative-Stress Activity.

Background: Obesity and a high-fat diet (HFD) are key factors contributing to hepatic fat accumulation and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Research indicates that oxidative stress induced by HFD mediates hepatic insulin resistance (HIR) through mechanisms such as promoting inflammation and lipid accumulation. Given that 4'-methoxyresveratrol (4-MR) exhibits remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, it is of great research significance to explore whether it can effectively counteract HFD-induced HIR by enhancing antioxidant stress.
