Biogeography of human-health associated butyrate-producing bacteria

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Joel E Brame, Craig Liddicoat, Catherine A Abbott, Robert A Edwards, Jake M Robinson, Nicolas E Gauthier and Martin F Breed | Summary: Abstract Butyrate-producing bacteria are found in many ecosystems and organisms, including humans. They ferment organic matter, producing the by-product butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid with important […]

EMC holdase:CaV1.2/CaVβ3 complex and CaV1.2 channel structures reveal CaV assembly and drug binding mechanisms

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Minor | Authors: Zhou Chen, Abhisek Mondal, Fayal Abderemane-Ali, Jose Montano, Balyn Zaro and Daniel L Minor, Jr. | Summary: Abstract Voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) comprise multiple structural units whose assembly is required for function1,2. There is scant structural understanding of how VGIC subunits assemble and whether chaperone proteins are required. High-voltage […]

Transient, developmental exposure to patient-derived anti-NMDA receptor autoantibodies causes long-term axonal and behavioral defects

Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pleasure | Authors: Jing Zhou, Ariele Greenfield, Rita Loudermilk, Christopher Bartley, Baouyen Tran, Chao Zhao, Hong Wang, Michael Wilson and Samuel Pleasure | Summary: Abstract NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis (NMDAR-AE) is characterized by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-resident anti-NMDA receptor autoantibodies that cause behavioral and neurologic deficits. Although many symptoms are responsive to immunotherapy, […]

Arrestin-3 agonism at D3 dopamine receptors defines a subclass of second generation antipsychotics that promotes drug tolerance

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Selin Schamiloglu, Elinor Lewis, Anne C Hergarden, Kevin Bender and Jennifer L Whistler | Summary: ABSTRACT Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are front-line treatments for serious mental illness. Often, individual patients benefit only from some SGAs and not others. The mechanisms underlying this unpredictability in treatment efficacy remain unclear. All […]

In silico discovery of repetitive elements as key sequence determinants of 3D genome folding

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Laura M Gunsalus, Michael J. Keiser and Katherine S Pollard | Summary: Abstract Natural and experimental genetic variants can modify DNA loops and insulating boundaries to tune transcription, but it is unknown how sequence perturbations affect chromatin organization genome-wide. We developed an in silico deep-learning strategy to quantify the […]
