Gene translation requires the correct selection of start codon AUG in mRNA. ATP-binding cassette subfamily F member 1 (ABCF1) plays a key role in the accuracy of start codon selection. However, the function of human ABCF1 is not clearly understood. Here, we solve the crystal structure of an ATP-bound wild-type human ABCF1 at 2.3-Å resolution. The comparative studies indicate that the structure is in a pre-activation intermediate conformation. This conformation is stabilized by the interaction between ATP and protein. Thus, we propose that this conformation is an important step in the activation of ABCF1. This study extends our understanding of ABC (ATP-binding cassette) protein activation at the molecular level.

The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family is one of the largest and most ancient classes of transporters found in nearly all living organisms. However, ABCF1 lacks a transmembrane domain and therefore does not function as a transporter. Recent studies point to an unexpectedly diverse role of ABCF1 in regulating cell-essential processes from mRNA translation, innate immune response, and phagocytosis in somatic cells, to transcriptional regulation in embryonic stem cells.

Lysine lactylation plays critical roles in various diseases, including cancer. Our previous study showed that lactylation of non-histone ABCF1 may be involved in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic value of ABCF1-K430la in HCC using immunohistochemical staining and performed amino acid point mutations, multi-omics crossover, and biochemical experiments to investigate its biological role and underlying mechanism.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the associations of multi-omics polygenic risk score (PRS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to identify potential genes/proteins and biological pathways.
Methods: Based on multi-omics data from 48,813 participants in the INTERVAL cohort, we calculated multi-omics PRS for 13,646 mRNAs (RNASeq), 308 proteins (Olink), 2380 proteins (SomaScan), 726 metabolites (Metabolon), and 141 metabolites (Nightingale). Using the generalized linear model, we first evaluated the associations between multi-omics PRS and RA in 58,813 UK Biobank participants.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) contributes to viral persistence and recurrence, however, how the host innate immune system responds to cccDNA is still less known. Here, based on cccDNA-hepatic proteins interaction profiling, DNA sensor ATP-binding cassette subfamily F member 1 (ABCF1) is identified as a novel cccDNA-binding protein and host restriction factor for HBV replication. Mechanistically, ABCF1 recognizes cccDNA by KKx4 motif and forms phase-separated condensates by the poly-glutamine (PolyQ) region of the N-terminal intrinsically disordered low-complexity domain (LCD).

Ongoing progress in mRNA-Sequencing technologies has significantly contributed to the refinement of assisted reproductive technologies. However, the prior investigations have predominantly concentrated on alterations in overall gene expression levels, thereby leaving a considerable gap in our understanding of the influence of transcript isoform expression on fundamental cellular mechanisms of oocytes. Given the efficacy of differential transcript usage (DTU) analysis to address such knowledge, we conducted comprehensive DTU analysis utilizing mRNA-Seq datasets of germinal vesicle (GV) and metaphase II (MII) oocytes across six mammalian species from the SRA database, including cow, donkey, horse, human, mouse, and pig.
