Structural insights into cholesterol sensing by the LYCHOS-mTORC1 pathway
Structure determination of human LYCHOS
Human LYCHOS were expressed in Sf9 cells and purified through tandem affinity and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) in the absence or presence of cholesterol/CHS. Although all purified LYCHOS proteins,…

The histone H3 lysine 36 demethylase KDM2A/FBXL11 controls Polycomb-mediated gene repression and germ cell development in male mice
Spermatogenesis is defective in Kdm2a-deficient mice
We sought to study the role of the H3K36me1/2 demethylase KDM2A7 in adult mammal biology. To this end, we targeted the Kdm2a locus in C57BL/6 J ESCs with a vector containing an IRES-β-geo…

ILF3 promotes colorectal cancer cell resistance to ferroptosis by enhancing cysteine uptake and GSH synthesis via stabilizing SLC3A2 mRNA
ILF3 is decreased in RSL3-mediated ferroptosis
To identify key RBPs involved in ferroptosis regulation in CRC, we constructed a ferroptosis cell model in SW620 cells by treating them with RSL3. Ferroptosis was confirmed by assessing Glutathione…
