Chromothripsis and Human Disease: Piecing Together the Shattering Process
The unprecedented resolution of high-throughput genomics has enabled the recent discovery of a phenomenon by which specific regions of the genome are shattered and then stitched together via a single devastating event, referred to as chromothripsis. Potential mechanisms governing this process are now emerging, with implications for our understanding of the role of genomic rearrangements in deve...
متن کاملParkinson's disease: piecing together a genetic jigsaw.
The role of genetics in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease has been subject to debate for decades. In recent years, the discovery of five genes and several more loci has provided important insight into its molecular aetiology. Some Parkinson's disease genes possibly cause Parkinson's disease by protein aggregation. The presence of Lewy bodies in carriers of mutations in one gene and their ...
متن کاملPiecing together the ESCRTs.
High-resolution structural analysis has characterized nearly all of the individual domains of ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) subunits, all of the core structures of the soluble complexes and many of the interactions involving domains. Recent emphasis in structural studies has shifted towards efforts to integrate these structures into a larger-scale model. Molecular sim...
متن کاملCellular and theoretical chimeras: piecing together how cells process energy.
AMONG THE fantastic creatures that Homer described in the Iliad is the chimera, a fire-breathing monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat and the tail of a serpent. Biologically, the chimera is unimaginable-a quintessentially mythical creature. Yet as an improbable hybrid, it also served as a model for naming another, very real product of cellular biochemistry in the 1970s. Using a d...
متن کاملPiecing Together the Extracellular Puzzle
Large-scale screens to identify protein interactions typically underperform with eukaryotic extracellular proteins. In this issue, Özkan et al. report development of a high-throughput assay designed specifically for extracellular proteins that uncovers a wealth of new interactions among three protein superfamilies in Drosophila and sets the stage for more extensive screens.
