Partial Loss of USP9X Function Leads to a Male Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Disorder Converging on Transforming Growth Factor β Signaling.

Brett V. Johnson, +337 more
TL;DR: The involvement of USP9X variants in a distinctive neurodevelopmental and behavioral syndrome in male subjects is demonstrated and plausible mechanisms of pathogenesis centered on disrupted transforming growth factor β signaling and hippocampal function are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative assessment of cell fate decision between autophagy and apoptosis

TL;DR: A computational model of coupled apoptosis and autophagy is built here to analyze the underlying signaling and regulatory network dynamics and reveals that cytoplasmic Ca2+ acts as a rheostat that fine-tunes autophagic and apoptotic responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disorders of protein misfolding: alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency as prototype.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use α1-antitrypsin deficiency (ATD) as a prototype of diseases caused by misfolded proteins and review recent findings about its pathobiology and the development of novel pharmacological strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of recombinant serpins in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: The general approaches and procedures to be considered when contemplating the use of E. coli for recombinant serpin production are outlined.
