Conformational landscape of soluble α-klotho revealed by cryogenic electron microscopy by Nicholas J. Schnicker, Zhen Xu, Mohammad Amir, Lokesh Gakhar, Chou-Long Huang

“…Abstract α-Klotho (KLA) is a type-1 membranous protein that can associate with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) to form co-receptor for FGF23. The ectodomain of unassociated KLA is shed as soluble KLA (sKLA) to exert FGFR/FGF23-independent pleiotropic functions. …”

A dominant-negative mutation of mouse Lmx1b causes glaucoma and is semi-lethal via LDB1-mediated dimerization [corrected]. by Sally H Cross, Danilo G Macalinao, Lisa McKie, Lorraine Rose, Alison L Kearney, Joe Rainger, Caroline Thaung, Margaret Keighren, Shalini Jadeja, Katrine West, Stephen C Kneeland, Richard S Smith, Gareth R Howell, Fiona Young, Morag Robertson, Rob van T' Hof, Simon W M John, Ian J Jackson

“…We show that the null phenotype is rescued more effectively by an Lmx1b transgene than is Icst. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments show that both wild-type and Icst LMX1B are found in complexes with LIM domain binding protein 1 (LDB1), resulting in lower levels of functional LMX1B in Icst heterozygotes than null heterozygotes. …”

Enterotype-stratified gut microbial signatures in MASLD and cirrhosis based on integrated microbiome data by Heng Yuan, Heng Yuan, Junyu Zhou, Junyu Zhou, Xuangao Wu, Shiwei Wang, Sunmin Park, Sunmin Park

“…Enterotype classification was performed using principal component analysis, with advanced bioinformatics tools, including Linear Discriminant Analysis Effect Size (LEfSe), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Deep Cross-Fusion Networks for Genome-Scale Identification of Pathogens (DCiPatho), to identify differentially abundant microbes and potential pathogens. Microbial co-occurrence networks and functional predictions via PICRUSt2 revealed distinct patterns across enterotypes.Results and discussionThe Prevotella-dominated(ET-P) group exhibited a 33% higher cirrhosis rate than the Bacteroides-dominated(ET-B) group. …”
