Article Abstract
ESS2 (ess-2 splicing factor homolog, also known as DGCR14 or DGS-I) is a member of the deletion gene cluster in the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS, also known as DiGeorge syndrome or CATCH 22 syndrome). The ESS2 gene is not part of a gene family, and the coded protein has a coiled-coil structure (Es domain), which is conserved from yeast to humans. Recent studies have shown that ESS2 is involved in splicing C and C* complex, but other interactants, such as transcription factors and U1 snRNP, are also reported. Although the molecular mechanism is still under investigation, ESS2 plays a pivotal role in cell differentiation and proliferation. ESS2 knockout mice show embryonic lethal in the early stage, and recent studies show the association of ESS2 with cancer, autoimmune disease, and neurodevelopmental disorders. ESS2 can regulate mRNA splicing and transcriptional activity through interactions with other proteins, and ESS2-dependent gene expression regulation seems to be cell type-selective. In this review, we summarized the cloning history and functions of ESS2, including recent findings.

Tunchang pigs, mainly distributed throughout Hainan Province of China, are well-known for their superior meat quality, crude feed tolerance, and adaptability to high temperatures and humidity. Runs of homozygosity (ROH) can provide valuable information about the inbreeding coefficient in individuals and selection signals that may reveal candidate genes associated with key functional traits. Runs of heterozygosity (ROHet) are commonly associated with balance selection, which can help us understand the adaptive evolutionary history of domestic animals.

The scarcity of agricultural ecosystem services (ESs) caused by land use changes has become increasingly prominent, and the negative effects of agricultural production on ecosystems have been a constant concern. In this work, the geographic information system mapping method, the agricultural product supply (AS) model and InVEST model were applied to assess the economic and ecological services of agricultural landscapes. The interlinkages among them in Xiangxi were explored, a mountainous area in central China.

Article Synopsis
- Molecular targeted therapy with PARP inhibitors has improved survival rates in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) but is limited to patients with specific genetic mutations, highlighting the need for new drug discovery focused on epigenetic modulators.
- Research on ESS2, a transcriptional coregulator, showed that knocking it down significantly inhibited tumor growth in mice and regulated key cancer-related genes, indicating its potential role in prostate cancer progression.
- The study found that ESS2 enhances transcriptional activities of NF-κB, NFAT, and SMAD2/3, and its absence led to developmental issues in prostate tissue, suggesting that targeting ESS2 could be a promising epigenetic strategy for treating CRPC.
