AtHESPERIN: A novel regulator of circadian rhythms with poly(A)-degrading activity in plants
(2016)We report the identification and characterization of a novel gene, AtHesperin (AtHESP) that codes for a deadenylase in Arabidopsis thaliana. The gene is under circadian clock-gene regulation and has similarity to the ... -
Crosstalk mechanisms between the WNT signaling pathway and long non-coding RNAs
(2018)The WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway controls a plethora of biological processes throughout animal development and adult life. Because of its fundamental role during animal lifespan, the WNT pathway is subject to strict ... -
Cryo-EM structures show the mechanistic basis of pan-peptidase inhibition by human α2-macroglobulin
(2022)Human α2-macroglobulin (hα2M) is a multidomain protein with a plethora of essential functions, including transport of signaling molecules and endopeptidase inhibition in innate immunity. Here, we dissected the molecular ... -
Depletion of Ras Suppressor-1 (RSU-1) promotes cell invasion of breast cancer cells through a compensatory upregulation of a truncated isoform
(2019)Extracellular matrix (ECM)-adhesion proteins and actin cytoskeleton are pivotal in cancer cell invasion. Ras Suppressor-1 (RSU-1), a cell-ECM adhesion protein that interacts with PINCH-1, thus being connected to Integrin ... -
DIANA-mirExTra v2.0: Uncovering microRNAs and transcription factors with crucial roles in NGS expression data
(2016)Differential expression analysis (DEA) is one of the main instruments utilized for revealing molecular mechanisms in pathological and physiological conditions. DIANA-mirExTra v2.0 (http://www.microrna. gr/mirextrav2) ... -
DIANA-miRGen v3.0: Accurate characterization of microRNA promoters and their regulators
(2016)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that actively fine-tune gene expression. The accurate characterization of the mechanisms underlying miRNA transcription regulation will further expand our knowledge regarding ... -
DIANA-miRGen v4: Indexing promoters and regulators for more than 1500 microRNAs
(2021)Deregulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression plays a critical role in the transition from a physiological to a pathological state. The accurate miRNA promoter identification in multiple cell types is a fundamental endeavor ... -
Differential effects of the two amino acid sensing systems, the GCN2 kinase and the mTOR complex 1, on primary human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells
(2016)Amino acid deprivation activates general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase and inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), affecting the immune response. In this study, the effects of GCN2 kinase activation or ... -
Editorial for special issue “genetic basis and epidemiology of myopathies”
(2021)We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on the Genetic Basis and Epidemiology of Myopathies. This Special Issue is collecting papers pertaining to various lines of research focusing on the genetic basis and the epidemiology ... -
The effects of aging, physical training, and a single bout of exercise on mitochondrial protein expression in human skeletal muscle
(2012)Aging results in a significant decline in aerobic capacity and impaired mitochondrial function. We have tested the effects of moderate physical activity on aerobic capacity and a single bout of exercise on the expression ... -
Efforts to create an artificial testis: Culture systems of male germ cells under biochemical conditions resembling the seminiferous tubular biochemical environment
(2005)Induction of meiotic and post-meiotic alterations of male germ cells in vitro has been the target of several research efforts since 1960. However, to date, the establishment of an ideal culture system in which spermatogonial ... -
Endocrine resistance and epigenetic reprogramming in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer
(2021)Despite the enormous advances during the last three decades, breast cancer continues to be the most frequent type of cancer as well as one of the most frequent cancer-related causes of death in women. Therapeutic management ... -
Enhancer of rudimentary homologue interacts with scaffold attachment factor B at the nuclear matrix to regulate SR protein phosphorylation
(2017)Scaffold attachment factor B1 (SAFB1) is an integral component of the nuclear matrix of vertebrate cells. It binds to DNA on scaffold/matrix attachment region elements, as well as to RNA and a multitude of different proteins, ... -
Glucosinolate biosynthesis in Eruca sativa
(2016)Glucosinolates (GSLs) are a highly important group of secondary metabolites in the Caparalles order, both due to their significance in plant-biome interactions and to their chemoprotective properties. This study identified ... -
Hypoxia-induced Changes in SUMO Conjugation Affect Transcriptional Regulation under Low Oxygen
(2019)Hypoxia occurs in pathological conditions, such as cancer, as a result of the imbalance between oxygen supply and consumption by proliferating cells. HIFs are critical molecular mediators of the physiological response to ... -
Identification of novel risk loci for restless legs syndrome in genome-wide association studies in individuals of European ancestry: a meta-analysis
(2017)Background Restless legs syndrome is a prevalent chronic neurological disorder with potentially severe mental and physical health consequences. Clearer understanding of the underlying pathophysiology is needed to improve ... -
Identifying pri-miRNA transcription start sites
(2018)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that can regulate gene expression playing vital role in nearly all biological pathways. Even though miRNAs have been intensely studied for more than two decades, information ... -
In human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells, dichloroacetate inhibits aerobic glycolysis, induces apoptosis and favors differentiation towards the regulatory T-cell subset instead of effector T-cell subsets
