The mutational and phenotypic spectrum of TUBA1A-associated tubulinopathy by Moritz Hebebrand, Ulrike Hüffmeier, Regina Trollmann, Ute Hehr, Steffen Uebe, Arif B. Ekici, Cornelia Kraus, Mandy Krumbiegel, André Reis, Christian T. Thiel, Bernt Popp

“…In a three-dimensional protein model, 38.6% of all disease-causing variants including those in the C-terminal region are predicted to affect the binding of microtubule-associated proteins or motor proteins. Genotype-phenotype analysis for recurrent variants showed an overrepresentation of certain clinical features. …”

Identification of hub genes and diagnostic efficacy for triple-negative breast cancer through WGCNA and Mendelian randomization by Yilong Lin, Songsong Wang, Qingmo Yang

“…GO and KEGG function enrichment analysis indicated that these core genes were related to various biological processes, such as organelle fission, chromosome segregation, nuclear division, mitotic cell cycle phase transition, the cell cycle, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and motor proteins. Using STRING and Cytoscape, the top five genes with high degrees were identified as CDC2, CCNB1, CCNA2, TOP2A, and CCNB2. …”

Study of the interaction between the influenza A virus polymerase and GTPase Rab11a by Veler, H

“…Analysis of the Rab11a interactome further revealed that IAV infection reduces Rab11a binding to Rab11-family interacting partners (Rab11-FIPs), thereby altering the stoichiometry of cytoplasmic motor proteins bound by Rab11a. Using mutant Rab11a in a GST pull-down assay, this study provides the first evidence that IAV RdRP binds to the same site on Rab11a as Rab11-FIPs. …”

The DNA methylation status of the vitamin A signaling associated with testicular degeneration induced by long-day photoperiods in Magang geese by Yuting Fu, Diyu Lai, Yanglong Xu, Jiaxin Liu, Yushuai Wang, Danli Jiang, Jianqiu Pan, Hongjia Ouyang, Yunbo Tian, Yunmao Huang, Xu Shen

“…A total of 3,359 DMR-associated differentially expressed genes (DEG) were identified; functional enrichment analyses revealed that motor proteins, MAPK signaling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction, phagosome, TGF-beta signaling pathway, and calcium signaling might contribute to the testicular regression process. …”
