Domestication of different varieties in the cheese-making fungus Geotrichum candidum by Bennetot, Bastien, Vernadet, Jean-Philippe, Perkins, Vincent, Hautefeuille, Sophie, Rodríguez de la Vega, Ricardo C., O’Donnell, Samuel, Snirc, Alodie, Grondin, Cécile, Lessard, Marie-Hélène, Peron, Anne-Claire, Labrie, Steve, Landaud, Sophie, Giraud, Tatiana, Ropars, Jeanne

“…Another of the cheese populations seemed to represent a more advanced stage of domestication, with stronger phenotypic differentiation from the wild clade, harboring much lower genetic diversity, and phenotypes more typical of cheese fungi, with denser and fluffier colonies and a greater ability of excluding cheese spoiler fungi. …”

Rabex-5 E3 and Rab5 GEF domains differ in their regulation of Ras, Notch, and PI3K signaling in Drosophila wing development. by Theresa A Reimels, Mia Steinberg, Hua Yan, Sivan Shahar, Ashley Rosenberg, Kristina Kalafsky, Max Luf, Lindsay Kelly, Stacia Octaviani, Cathie M Pfleger

“…Surprisingly, we discovered that Rabex-5 with an impaired E3 domain but active Rab5 GEF domain suppresses Notch loss-of-function phenotypes and enhances both Notch duplication phenotypes and activated Ras phenotypes consistent with a model that the Rab5 GEF activity of Rabex-5 might positively regulate Ras and Notch. …”

The protein tyrosine phosphatase, nonreceptor type 22-1858C->T (rs2476601) polymorphism is not a genetic risk factor for systemic lupus erythematosus in Indian Tamils by Panneer Devaraju, Reena Gulati, Durga Prasanna Misra, Vir Singh Negi

“…Results: The frequency of the ancestral allele “C” was similar in both cases and controls (99.3% and 99.8%, respectively) and the mutant allele “T” was less frequent in South Indian Tamil population; it did not influence clinical or serological phenotypes. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the PTPN22 (rs2476601) polymorphism is less frequent and did not confer a risk for lupus or its associated clinical or serological phenotypes in South Indian Tamils.…”
