Novel Insights into Breast Cancer Genetic Variance through RNA Sequencing
Using RNA sequencing of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), non-TBNC and HER2-positive breast cancer sub-types, here we report novel expressed variants, allelic prevalence and abundance, and coexpression with other variation, and splicing signatures. To reveal the most prevalent variant alleles, we overlaid our findings with cancer- and population-based datasets and validated a subset of nove...

متن کاملVoltage-Dependent Gating: Novel Insights from KCNQ1 Channels.
Gating of voltage-dependent cation channels involves three general molecular processes: voltage sensor activation, sensor-pore coupling, and pore opening. KCNQ1 is a voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel whose distinctive properties have provided novel insights on fundamental principles of voltage-dependent gating. 1) Similar to other Kv channels, KCNQ1 voltage sensor activation undergoes two re...
متن کاملSerotonin Receptors: Genetic insights into serotonin function
Targeted disruption of the genes for the 5-HT1B and 5-HT2C serotonin receptors and monoamine oxidase A have confirmed pharmacological experiments and revealed unexpected behavioral roles for serotonin.
متن کاملNew insights into the mechanism of permeation through large channels.
The mitochondrial channel, VDAC, regulates metabolite flux across the outer membrane. The open conformation has a higher conductance and anionic selectivity, whereas closed states prefer cations and exclude metabolites. In this study five mutations were introduced into mouse VDAC2 to neutralize the voltage sensor. Inserted into planar membranes, mutant channels lack voltage gating, have a lower...
