Long way up: rethink diseases in light of phase separation and phase transition
Protein Cell. 2023 Dec 9:pwad057. doi: 10.1093/procel/pwad057. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBiomolecular condensation, driven by multivalency, serves as a fundamental mechanism within cells, facilitating the formation of distinct compartments, including membraneless organelles that play essential roles in various cellular processes. Perturbations in the delicate equilibrium of condensation, whether resulting in gain or loss of phase separation, have robustly been associated with cellular dysfunction and physiological disorders. As ongoing research endeavors wholeheartedly embrace this newly acknowledged principle, a trans...

Senktide blocks aberrant RTN3 interactome to retard memory decline and tau pathology in social isolated Alzheimer's disease mice
Protein Cell. 2023 Nov 27:pwad056. doi: 10.1093/procel/pwad056. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSporadic or late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) accounts for more than 95% of AD cases without any family history. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified associated risk genes and loci for LOAD, numerous studies suggest that many adverse environmental factors, such as social isolation, are associated with an increased risk of dementia. However, the underlying mechanisms of social isolation in AD progression remain elusive. In the current study, we found that 7 days of social isolation could trigger patte...

ILF3 safeguards telomeres from aberrant homologous recombination as a telomeric R-loop reader
Protein Cell. 2023 Nov 22:pwad054. doi: 10.1093/procel/pwad054. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTelomeres are specialized structures at the ends of linear chromosomes that protect genome stability. The telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) that is transcribed from subtelomeric regions can invade into double-stranded DNA regions and form RNA:DNA hybrid-containing structure called R-loop. In tumor cells, R-loop formation is closely linked to gene expression and the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway. Dysregulated R-loops can cause stalled replication forks and telomere instability. However, how R-loops are re...
