Apoptosis and necroptosis are complementary pathways controlled by common signalling adaptors, kinases and proteases; among these, caspase-8 (Casp8) is critical for death receptor-induced apoptosis. This caspase has also been implicated in non-apoptotic pathways that regulate Fas-associated via death domain (FADD)-dependent signalling and other less defined biological processes as diverse as innate immune signalling and myeloid or lymphoid differentiation patterns. Casp8 suppresses RIP3-RIP1 (also known as RIPK3-RIPK1) kinase complex-dependent necroptosis that follows death receptor activation as well as a RIP3-dependent, RIP1-independent necrotic pathway that has emerged as a host defence mechanism against murine cytomegalovirus. Disruption of Casp8 expression leads to embryonic lethality in mice between embryonic days 10.5 and 11.5 (ref. 7). Thus, Casp8 may naturally hold alternative RIP3-dependent death pathways in check in addition to promoting apoptosis. We find that RIP3 is responsible for the mid-gestational death of Casp8-deficient embryos. Remarkably, Casp8(-/-)Rip3(-/-) double mutant mice are viable and mature into fertile adults with a full immune complement of myeloid and lymphoid cell types. These mice seem immunocompetent but develop lymphadenopathy by four months of age marked by accumulation of abnormal T cells in the periphery, a phenotype reminiscent of mice with Fas-deficiency (lpr/lpr; also known as Fas). Thus, Casp8 contributes to homeostatic control in the adult immune system; however, RIP3 and Casp8 are together completely dispensable for mammalian development. 相似文献

In humans, deletion of any one of three Y-chromosomal regions- AZFa, AZFb or AZFc-disrupts spermatogenesis, causing infertility in otherwise healthy men. Although candidate genes have been identified in all three regions, no case of spermatogenic failure has been traced to a point mutation in a Y-linked gene, or to a deletion of a single Y-linked gene. We sequenced the AZFa region of the Y chromosome and identified two functional genes previously described: USP9Y (also known as DFFRY) and DBY (refs 7,8). Screening of the two genes in 576 infertile and 96 fertile men revealed several sequence variants, most of which appear to be heritable and of little functional consequence. We found one de novo mutation in USP9Y: a 4-bp deletion in a splice-donor site, causing an exon to be skipped and protein truncation. This mutation was present in a man with nonobstructive azoospermia (that is, no sperm was detected in semen), but absent in his fertile brother, suggesting that the USP9Y mutation caused spermatogenic failure. We also identified a single-gene deletion associated with spermatogenic failure, again involving USP9Y, by re-analysing a published study. 相似文献

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 2 (ALS2) is an autosomal recessive form of juvenile ALS and has been mapped to human chromosome 2q33. Here we report the identification of two independent deletion mutations linked to ALS2 in the coding exons of the new gene ALS2. These deletion mutations result in frameshifts that generate premature stop codons. ALS2 is expressed in various tissues and cells, including neurons throughout the brain and spinal cord, and encodes a protein containing multiple domains that have homology to RanGEF as well as RhoGEF. Deletion mutations are predicted to cause a loss of protein function, providing strong evidence that ALS2 is the causative gene underlying this form of ALS. 相似文献

The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development, physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome. We also present an initial analysis of the data, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence. 相似文献

We have demonstrated that colloidal gold-labelled serum proteins are taken up by a number of cells in cultures established from the postnatal rodent neopallium. The colloidal gold enters and remains within secondary lysosomes over extended periods of time and, as well, persists after the subculture of these cells. The cell types that readily take up the label in our culture system are type-1 astrocytes, glial precursor cells and macrophages, whereas, only a small number of oligodendrocytes take up the label. The use of serum proteins to introduce colloidal gold into cells therefore seems to be a convenient and easy way to permanently mark cells. 相似文献
