    • Comparative Analysis of Secretome Profiles of Manganese(II)-Oxidizing Ascomycete Fungi 

      Zeiner, Carolyn A.; Purvine, Samuel O.; Zink, Erika M.; Paša-Tolić, Ljiljana; Chaput, Dominique L.; Haridas, Sajeet; Wu, Si; LaButti, Kurt; Grigoriev, Igor V.; Henrissat, Bernard; Santelli, Cara M.; Hansel, Colleen M. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Fungal secretomes contain a wide range of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes, including cellulases, hemicellulases, pectinases, and lignin-degrading accessory enzymes, that synergistically drive litter decomposition in the ...

    • Comparative Genome Analyses Reveal Distinct Structure in the Saltwater Crocodile MHC 

      Jaratlerdsiri, Weerachai; Deakin, Janine; Godinez, Ricardo M.; Shan, Xueyan; Peterson, Daniel G.; Marthey, Sylvain; Lyons, Eric; McCarthy, Fiona M.; Isberg, Sally R.; Higgins, Damien P.; Chong, Amanda Y.; John, John St; Glenn, Travis C.; Ray, David A.; Gongora, Jaime (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a dynamic genome region with an essential role in the adaptive immunity of vertebrates, especially antigen presentation. The MHC is generally divided into subregions (classes ...

    • A Comprehensive Reference Transcriptome Resource for the Common House Spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum 

      Posnien, Nico; Zeng, Victor; Schwager, Evelyn E.; Pechmann, Matthias; Hilbrant, Maarten; Keefe, Joseph D.; Damen, Wim G. M.; Prpic, Nikola-Michael; McGregor, Alistair P.; Extavour, Cassandra G. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Parasteatoda tepidariorum is an increasingly popular model for the study of spider development and the evolution of development more broadly. However, fully understanding the regulation and evolution of P. tepidariorum ...

    • Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Small T Antigen Promotes Pro-Glycolytic Metabolic Perturbations Required for Transformation 

      Berrios, Christian; Padi, Megha; Keibler, Mark A.; Park, Donglim Esther; Molla, Vadim; Cheng, Jingwei; Lee, Soo Mi; Stephanopoulos, Gregory; Quackenbush, John; DeCaprio, James A. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is an etiological agent of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a highly aggressive skin cancer. The MCPyV small tumor antigen (ST) is required for maintenance of MCC and can transform normal cells. ...

    • Regulation of Gene Expression in Autoimmune Disease Loci and the Genetic Basis of Proliferation in CD4+ Effector Memory T Cells 

      Hu, Xinli; Kim, Hyun; Raj, Towfique; Brennan, Patrick J.; Trynka, Gosia; Teslovich, Nikola; Slowikowski, Kamil; Chen, Wei-Min; Onengut, Suna; Baecher-Allan, Clare; De Jager, Philip L.; Rich, Stephen S.; Stranger, Barbara E.; Brenner, Michael B.; Raychaudhuri, Soumya (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and subsequent dense-genotyping of associated loci identified over a hundred single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants associated with the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type ...

    • Transcriptome Remodeling in Trypanosoma cruzi and Human Cells during Intracellular Infection 

      Li, Yuan; Shah-Simpson, Sheena; Okrah, Kwame; Belew, A. Trey; Choi, Jungmin; Caradonna, Kacey L.; Padmanabhan, Prasad; Ndegwa, David M.; Temanni, M. Ramzi; Corrada Bravo, Héctor; El-Sayed, Najib M.; Burleigh, Barbara A. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Intracellular colonization and persistent infection by the kinetoplastid protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, underlie the pathogenesis of human Chagas disease. To obtain global insights into the T. cruzi infective ...

    • ZBED6 Modulates the Transcription of Myogenic Genes in Mouse Myoblast Cells 

      Jiang, Lin; Wallerman, Ola; Younis, Shady; Rubin, Carl-Johan; Gilbert, Elizabeth R.; Sundström, Elisabeth; Ghazal, Awaisa; Zhang, Xiaolan; Wang, Li; Mikkelsen, Tarjei S.; Andersson, Göran; Andersson, Leif (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      ZBED6 is a recently discovered transcription factor, unique to placental mammals, that has evolved from a domesticated DNA transposon. It acts as a repressor at the IGF2 locus. Here we show that ZBED6 acts as a transcriptional ...
