Coronary heart disease-associated variation in TCF21 disrupts a miR-224 binding site and miRNA-mediated regulation. by Clint L Miller, Ulrike Haas, Roxanne Diaz, Nicholas J Leeper, Ramendra K Kundu, Bhagat Patlolla, Themistocles L Assimes, Frank J Kaiser, Ljubica Perisic, Ulf Hedin, Lars Maegdefessel, Heribert Schunkert, Jeanette Erdmann, Thomas Quertermous, Georg Sczakiel

“…In addition, in vitro probing with Pb2+ and RNase T1 revealed structural differences between the TCF21 variants in proximity of the rs12190287 variant, which are predicted to provide greater access to the C allele for miR-224 binding. miR-224 and TCF21 expression levels were anti-correlated in HCASMC, and miR-224 modulates the transcriptional response of TCF21 to transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling in an allele-specific manner. …”

Mitochondrial Genome Instability in <i>W303-SK1</i> Yeast Cytoplasmic Hybrids by Khoren K. Epremyan, Arteom A. Burlaka, Olga V. Markova, Kseniia V. Galkina, Dmitry A. Knorre

“…Additionally, mtDNA replacement reduced respiration rate and growth rate on non-fermentable substrates while increasing the likelihood of functional mtDNA loss. Our data demonstrate that a mutant mtDNA variant’s ability to displace another mitochondrial DNA variant in a heteroplasmic cell depends more on mtDNA sequences than on the biochemical and structural context created by the nuclear genome background.…”
