Histone H3 E50K mutation confers oncogenic activity and supports an EMT phenotype

K. Sad, C. Y. Jones, D. V. Fawwal, E. J. Hill, K. Skinner, S. Lustenberger, R. S. Lee, S. R. Elayavalli, J. Farhi, L. D. Lemon, M. B. Fasken, A. L. Hong, S. A. Sloan, A. H. Corbett, J. M. Spangle

This paper shows that the H3E50K mutation in histone H3 promotes oncogenic activity by enhancing cell migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Human basigin (CD147) does not directly interact with SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein

R. J. Ragotte, D. Pulido, F. R. Donnellan, G. Gorini, H. Davies, J. Brun, L. D. King, K. Skinner, S. J. Draper

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein does not directly interact with human basigin (CD147), challenging its role as a co-receptor for viral entry.
