Cellular composition and the interpretation of candidate RNA readouts of trogocytosis in colorectal cancer

Jinglin Wang, Pan Sun, Lei XU, Yao Wang, Wei Zhu, Yan Zhang, Yao Tang, Juan Yang

The paper evaluates an eight-gene module associated with trogocytosis in CRC, finding its correlation with T-cell fraction is typical of random modules, suggesting it reflects cellular composition rather than trogocytosis.

AlphaFold2-Guided Functional Screens Reveal a Conserved Antioxidant Protein at ER Membranes

Zhijian Ji, Henry De Belly, Taruna Pandey, Bingying Wang, Yao Tang, Jingxuan Yao, Shiya Xu, Kathy Li, Yanchang Bian, Shouhong Guang, Zhiyong Lou, Alma L. Burlingame, Orion David Weiner, Thomas D. Goddard, Dengke K. Ma

The paper identifies ERGU-1 as a conserved antioxidant protein at ER membranes using AlphaFold2 and functional screens in C. elegans, showing its role in H2O2 detoxification and antioxidant defense.

Spatially clustered piRNA genes promote the transcription of piRNAs via condensate formation of the H3K27me3 reader UAD-2

Chengming Zhu, Xiaoyue Si, Xinhao Hou, Panpan Xu, Jianing Gao, Yao Tang, Chenchun Weng, Mingjing Xu, Qi Yan, Qile Jin, Jiewei Cheng, Ke Ruan, Ying Yin Zhou, Ge Shan, Demin Xu, , Shouhong Guang

The paper shows that spatial clustering of piRNA genes in nematodes enhances transcription through phase separation involving UAD-2 and the SUMO regulatory factors GEI-17 and TOFU-3.
