Multi-tissue characterization of the constitutive heterochromatin proteome in Drosophila identifies a link between satellite DNA organization and transposon repression. by Ankita Chavan, Lena Skrutl, Federico Uliana, Melanie Pfister, Franziska Brändle, Laszlo Tirian, Delora Baptista, Dominik Handler, David Burke, Anna Sintsova, Pedro Beltrao, Julius Brennecke, Madhav Jagannathan

“…We further demonstrate that this gonadal atrophy can be rescued by mutating the checkpoint kinase, Chk2, which mediates germ cell arrest in response to transposon mobilization. Thus, we reveal that a satellite DNA-binding protein functions during embryogenesis to silence transposons, in a manner that is heritable across later stages of development.…”

Circulating CD3+HLA-DR+ Extracellular Vesicles as a Marker for Th1/Tc1-Type Immune Responses by Ryutaro Oba, Motomichi Isomura, Akira Igarashi, Kinya Nagata

“…To establish T cell subset-specific biomarkers, we performed proteomic analysis with Th1- and Th2-derived EVs and identified HLA-DR as a Th1-dominated EV membrane protein. We designed a measurement system for CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, and CD3+HLA-DR+ EVs to specifically determine EV subpopulations derived from CD4+, CD8+, and Th1-type T cells, respectively. …”
