TL;DR: Transplants from donors other than matched siblings were associated with excellent survival among infants with SCID identified before the onset of infection.
Abstract: Background The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium was formed to analyze the results of hematopoietic-cell transplantation in children with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and other primary immunodeficiencies. Factors associated with a good transplantation outcome need to be identified in order to design safer and more effective curative therapy, particularly for children with SCID diagnosed at birth. Methods We collected data retrospectively from 240 infants with SCID who had received transplants at 25 centers during a 10-year period (2000 through 2009). Results Survival at 5 years, freedom from immunoglobulin substitution, and CD3+ T-cell and IgA recovery were more likely among recipients of grafts from matched sibling donors than among recipients of grafts from alternative donors. However, the survival rate was high regardless of donor type among infants who received transplants at 3.5 months of age or younger (94%) and among older infants without prior infection (90%) or with infect...

TL;DR: To physically characterize the web of interactions connecting the Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins suspected to be RNA polymerase II elongation factors, subunits of Spt4/Spt5 and Spt16/Pob3 were affinity purified under conditions designed to minimize loss of associated polypeptides and then identified by mass spectrometry.
Abstract: To physically characterize the web of interactions connecting the Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins suspected to be RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) elongation factors, subunits of Spt4/Spt5 and Spt16/Pob3 (corresponding to human DSIF and FACT), Spt6, TFIIF (Tfg1, -2, and -3), TFIIS, Rtf1, and Elongator (Elp1, -2, -3, -4, -5, and -6) were affinity purified under conditions designed to minimize loss of associated polypeptides and then identified by mass spectrometry. Spt16/Pob3 was discovered to associate with three distinct complexes: histones; Chd1/casein kinase II (CKII); and Rtf1, Paf1, Ctr9, Cdc73, and a previously uncharacterized protein, Leo1. Rtf1 and Chd1 have previously been implicated in the control of elongation, and the sensitivity to 6-azauracil of strains lacking Paf1, Cdc73, or Leo1 suggested that these proteins are involved in elongation by RNAPII as well. Confirmation came from chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays demonstrating that all components of this complex, including Leo1, cross-linked to the promoter, coding region, and 3′ end of the ADH1 gene. In contrast, the three subunits of TFIIF cross-linked only to the promoter-containing fragment of ADH1. Spt6 interacted with the uncharacterized, essential protein Iws1 (interacts with Spt6), and Spt5 interacted either with Spt4 or with a truncated form of Spt6. ChIP on Spt6 and the novel protein Iws1 resulted in the cross-linking of both proteins to all three regions of the ADH1 gene, suggesting that Iws1 is likely an Spt6-interacting elongation factor. Spt5, Spt6, and Iws1 are phosphorylated on consensus CKII sites in vivo, conceivably by the Chd1/CKII associated with Spt16/Pob3. All the elongation factors but Elongator copurified with RNAPII.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the joint effects of positive affect and environmental dynamism on entrepreneurship and found that positive affect among founding entrepreneurs is significantly related to their creativity and that creativity in turn is positively related to firm-level innovation.

TL;DR: The CtBP family proteins are conserved among vertebrates and invertebrates and function as transcriptional corepressors and repress transcription in a histone deacetylase-dependent or -independent manner.

TL;DR: The major concepts formulated and established during the last two decades and focus on four pathways that have been proposed as important in communication: the neural route, circumventricular organs, blood-brain barrier transport of cytokines, and secretions from BBB cells.
Abstract: Communication between the central nervous and immune systems lies at the heart of the neuroimmune axis. We trace here some of the major conceptual hurdles which were raised, first against the acceptance of a neuroimmune axis and later in understanding it. We review the major concepts formulated and established during the last two decades and focus on four pathways that have been proposed as important in communication: the neural route, circumventricular organs, blood-brain barrier transport of cytokines, and secretions from BBB cells. These and other pathways have established the existence of a neuroimmune axis, but raise new questions on how they act and interact with one another.
