Genetic mechanisms of critical illness in Covid-19.

Erola Pairo-Castineira, +1449 more
- 04 Mar 2021 - 
TL;DR: The GenOMICC (Genetics Of Mortality In Critical Care) genome-wide association study in 2244 critically ill Covid-19 patients from 208 UK intensive care units is reported, finding evidence in support of a causal link from low expression of IFNAR2, and high expression of TYK2, to life-threatening disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro activation of CPP32 and Mch3 by Mch4, a novel human apoptotic cysteine protease containing two FADD-like domains.

TL;DR: The cloning of two novel ASCPs from human Jurkat T-lymphocytes are described, containing a QACQG pentapeptide instead of the QACRG present in ail known ASCPs, and the presence of the FADD-like domains in Mch4 and Mch5 suggests a role for these proteases in the Fas-apoptotic pathway.

Mch3, a Novel Human Apoptotic Cysteine Protease Highly Related to CPP32

TL;DR: The cloning of a new Ced-3/interleukin 1 beta-converting enzyme-related gene is reported that encodes a protein with the highest degree of homology to CPP32 compared to other family members, suggesting that Mch3 alpha activation in vivo may depend in part on C PP32 activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

HBXIP functions as a cofactor of survivin in apoptosis suppression.

TL;DR: HBXIP functions as a cofactor for survivin, and serves as a link between the cellular apoptosis machinery and a viral pathogen involved in hepatocellular carcinogenesis.
