The H3.3K27M oncohistone affects replication stress outcome and provokes genomic instability in pediatric glioma12 Nov. 2021A study by Bočkaj, Martini, and de Camargo Magalhães et al. Out now in PLoS Genetics – The discovery that mutations in histone H3 variants frequently occur in malignant pediatric glioma created great interest into the mechanism of transformation of these so-called oncohistones. Yet whereas m -
The cellular modifier MOAG-4/SERF drives amyloid formation through charge complementation12 Oct. 2021How aging causes relatively common diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s is still a mystery. Since toxic structural changes in proteins are likely to be responsible, Pras et al. investigated biological mechanisms that could drive such changes. The authors made use of a modifying factor ca -
