Lrrk2 R1628P variant is a risk factor for essential tremor
Essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are two of the most common adult onset movement disorders with overlapping clinical features. PD patients with leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2) mutations may present initially with an ET phenotype. To address the possibility of a common genetic link between ET and PD, we examined the association between a common LRRK2 R1628P gene variant an...
متن کاملKif4 Is Essential for Mouse Oocyte Meiosis
Progression through the meiotic cell cycle must be strictly regulated in oocytes to generate viable embryos and offspring. During mitosis, the kinesin motor protein Kif4 is indispensable for chromosome condensation and separation, midzone formation and cytokinesis. Additionally, the bioactivity of Kif4 is dependent on phosphorylation via Aurora Kinase B and Cdk1, which regulate Kif4 function th...
متن کاملHistone variant macroH2A confers resistance to nuclear reprogramming
How various layers of epigenetic repression restrict somatic cell nuclear reprogramming is poorly understood. The transfer of mammalian somatic cell nuclei into Xenopus oocytes induces transcriptional reprogramming of previously repressed genes. Here, we address the mechanisms that restrict reprogramming following nuclear transfer by assessing the stability of the inactive X chromosome (Xi) in ...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of an oocyte factor required for porcine nuclear reprogramming.
Nuclear reprogramming of somatic cells can be induced by oocyte factors. Despite numerous attempts, the factors responsible for successful nuclear reprogramming remain elusive. In the present study, we found that porcine oocytes with the first polar body collected at 42 h of in vitro maturation had a stronger ability to support early development of cloned embryos than porcine oocytes with the f...
متن کاملRegulation of Reprogramming and Cellular Plasticity through Histone Exchange and Histone Variant Incorporation.
Early embryonic cells are totipotent and can generate a complete organism including embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. After division, cells lose their potency as they move toward a pluripotent state characterized by decreased cellular plasticity. During this transition, drastic changes in transcriptional programs occur in parallel with global chromatin reorganization. The epigenetic mechani...
