The Transcription Factor Sp3 Cooperates with HDAC2 to Regulate Synaptic Function and Plasticity in Neurons.
The histone deacetylase HDAC2, which negatively regulates synaptic gene expression and neuronal plasticity, is upregulated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and mouse models. Therapeutics targeting HDAC2 hold promise for ameliorating AD-related cognitive impairment; however, attempts to generate HDAC2-specific inhibitors have failed. Here, we take an integrative genomics approach to identify...
متن کاملTranscription factor 8 activates R-Ras to regulate angiogenesis.
We have recently reported that transcription factor 8 (TCF8) negatively regulates pathological angiogenesis by regulating endothelial invasiveness by acting as a transcriptional attenuator of matrix metalloproteinase 1. TCF8 also modulates cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion; however molecular mechanism of this TCF8 function remains obscure. Here, we provide evidence that TCF8 activates R-Ras, a...
متن کاملShape-Shifting Droplet Networks.
We consider a three-dimensional network of aqueous droplets joined by single lipid bilayers to form a cohesive, tissuelike material. The droplets in these networks can be programed to have distinct osmolarities so that osmotic gradients generate internal stresses via local fluid flows to cause the network to change shape. We discover, using molecular dynamics simulations, a reversible folding-u...

mechanism of oceanic control of climate. They constitute a repository for heat, fresh water and gases such as carbon dioxide, all of which are exchanged at the ocean–atmosphere interface.On the largest scale, the water masses spread and fill the ocean basins. These huge bodies of water are also the engines of large-scale ocean circulation, one that is primarily driven by so-called North Atlanti...
متن کاملEvolution of transcription factor function.
Functional assays in Drosophila melanogaster with orthologous transcription factors from other species suggest that changes in the protein-coding sequence may play a larger role in the evolution of transcription factor pathways than was previously believed. Interestingly, recent studies provide evidence that changes in transcription factor protein sequence can affect the regulation of only a su...
