In addition to progressive muscle weakness, persistent inflammatory infiltration is also a feature of LGMDR1. Despite the underlying mechanism remaining poorly understood, we consider that it may relate to the newly defined role of CAPN3/Capn3b in the nucleolus. Here, we report that the loss of function of zebrafish capn3b, the counterpart of human CAPN3, induces an autoimmune response akin to that in LGMDR1 patients. capn3b mutant larvae are more susceptible to Listeria monocytogenes injection, characterized by recruiting more macrophages. Under germ-free conditions, transcriptome analysis of the capn3b mutant muscle reveals a significant upregulation of the chemokine-production-related genes. Coincidently, more neutrophils are recruited to the injury site imposed by either muscle stabbing or tail fin amputation. Nucleolar proteomic analysis and enzymatic assays reveal NKAP, an activating factor of the NF-κB pathway, to be a target of CAPN3. We conclude that the accumulation of Nkap and other factors in the capn3b mutant may be involved in the over-activation of innate immunity. Our studies indicate that the zebrafish capn3b mutant is a powerful model for studying the immunity-related progression of human LGMDR1.</p>","PeriodicalId":54825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetics and Genomics","volume":" ","pages":"1375-1388"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142332641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the assistance of gRNA, PPAD-dCas9 can recruit PPADs to specific genomic loci, enabling direct manipulation of the epigenetic landscape and regulation of gene expression. Our citrullination editor allows for the site-specific manipulation of histone H3R2,8,17 and H3R26 at target human gene loci, resulting in the activation or suppression of different genes in a locus-specific manner. Moreover, the epigenetic effects of the citrullination editor are specific and sustained.

Here, we identify GmCIN1, which encodes a cytosolic invertase, as a gateway for the N-tuning of sucrose utilization in nodules. GmCIN1 is enriched in mature soybean nodules, and its expression is regulated by nitrogen status. The knockout of GmCIN1 using genome editing partially mimics the inhibitory effects of N on nitrogenase activity and sugar content and the impact of high N on nodule transcriptomes. This indicates that GmCIN1 partially mediates the high N inhibition of nodule activity. Moreover, ChIP-qPCR and EMSA reveal that SNAP1/2 transcription factors directly bind to the GmCIN1 promoter. In addition, SNAP1/2 may be involved in the repression of GmCIN1 expression in mature nodules at high N concentrations.
