Open AccessHuman DBR1 modulates the recycling of snRNPs to affect alternative RNA splicing and contributes to the suppression of cancer development
The contribution of RNA processing to tumorigenesis is understudied. Here, we report that the human RNA debranching enzyme (hDBR1), when inappropriately regulated, induces oncogenesis by causing RNA processing...

A splicing-regulatory polymorphism in DRD2 disrupts ZRANB2 binding, impairs cognitive functioning and increases risk for schizophrenia in six Han Chinese samples
The rs1076560 polymorphism of DRD2 (encoding dopamine receptor D2) is associated with alternative splicing and cognitive functioning; however, a mechanistic relationship to schizophrenia has not been shown. Here,...

Fabrication of a nano-magnet on a piezo-driven tip in a TEM sample holder
A nanometer-sized magnet (nano-magnet) was fabricated on the tip of a tungsten needle by electron-beam-induced deposition with Fe(CO)5 gas. The needle tip, which can be moved with a step** motor and piezo-drive...

Free proline contents in two different groups of rice mutants resistant to hydroxy-L-proline
In four rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutants resistant to hydroxy-L-proline (Hyp), HYP101, HYP203, HYP205 and HYP210, and in their original variety, Nipponbare, free proline and Hyp contents in the seeds and in the 14-...
