This was further supported by additional transcriptomic data of GQ and PQ embryos donated by the same individuals. gPQ embryos showed greater impairments in both RNA decay and zygotic genome activation (ZGA) compared to mPQ embryos. Blastocysts that emerged from PQ embryos, more likely from mPQ embryos, demonstrated transcriptomic similarity to normal blastocysts. We also identified genes highly upregulated in day 3 gPQ embryos.

SARS-CoV-2<sub>MA1</sub> infection in HEK293T cells relies on heparan sulfate and endocytic pathways, with TMEM106B, a transmembrane lysosomal protein, the most significant contributor. While SARS-CoV-2<sub>MA1</sub> productively infects human brain organoids and K18-hACE2 mouse brains, it does not infect C57BL/6J or Ifnar<sup>-/-</sup> mouse brains. This suggests that ACE2-independent entry via TMEM106B, which is predominantly expressed in the brain, does not overtly increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 neuroinvasiveness in mice with endogenous Ace2 expression. Importantly, SARS-CoV-2<sub>MA1</sub> does not replicate in the Ace2<sup>-/-</sup> mouse respiratory tract.

In this study, we find that tumor cells with hotspot missense mutations in ARID1A (AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A) exhibit a malignant phenotype. Mechanistically, these mutations facilitate the translocation of ARID1A mutant proteins to the cytoplasm by the nucleocytoplasmic shuttler XPO1 (exportin 1). Subsequently, the E3 ubiquitin ligase STUB1 ubiquitinates the ARID1A mutant protein, marking it for degradation. Knocking down STUB1 or inhibiting XPO1 stabilizes the ARID1A mutant protein, retaining it in the nucleus, which restores the assembly of the cBAF complex, the chromatin remodeling function, and the normal expression of genes related to the MAPK and anti-apoptotic pathways, thereby decreasing the tumor burden. Our research shows that nuclear-localized mutated ARID1A proteins retain tumor-suppressive function.
