Prp16 enables efficient splicing of introns with diverse exonic consensus elements in the short-intron rich Cryptococcus neoformans transcriptome by Manendra Singh Negi, Vishnu Priya Krishnan, Niharika Saraf, Usha Vijayraghavan

“…Using a promoter-shutdown conditional Prp16 knockdown strain, we uncovered genome-wide but substrate-specific roles in C. neoformans splicing. The splicing functions of Prp16 are dependent on helicase motifs I and II, which are conserved motifs for helicase activity. …”

Molecular basis for the calcium-dependent activation of the ribonuclease EndoU by Florian Malard, Kristen Dias, Margaux Baudy, Stéphane Thore, Brune Vialet, Philippe Barthélémy, Sébastien Fribourg, Fedor V. Karginov, Sébastien Campagne

“…Abstract Ribonucleases (RNases) are ubiquitous enzymes that process or degrade RNA, essential for cellular functions and immune responses. The EndoU-like superfamily includes endoribonucleases conserved across bacteria, eukaryotes, and certain viruses, with an ancient evolutionary link to the ribonuclease A-like superfamily. …”

Caspase 3 proteolytically inactivates gasdermin Ec and inhibits pyroptosis in an early vertebrate by Xin Tian, Shuai Jiang

“…Recently, a new GSDME homolog, designated GSDMEc, was identified exclusively in fish. However, the function and regulation of GSDMEc remain elusive. In the present study, we identified a GSDMEc ortholog in swordtail fish, which exhibits canonical gasdermin two-domain architecture. …”

Age- and severity-adjusted treatment of proximal humerus fractures in children and adolescents-A systematical review and meta-analysis. by Lisa Hohloch, Helge Eberbach, Ferdinand C Wagner, Peter C Strohm, Kilian Reising, Norbert P Südkamp, Jörn Zwingmann

“…Up to now, no evidence-based algorithm for conservative and operative treatment is available. The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was therefore to gather the best evidence of different treatment methods and their associated functional outcome, complication rates, rates of limb length discrepancies and radiological outcome.…”
