NATURAL HISTORY OF A MOUSE MODEL OF X-LINKED MYOTUBULAR MYOPATHY

Natural history of a mouse model of X-linked myotubular myopathy

X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a severe monogenetic disorder of the skeletal muscle.It is caused by loss-of-expression/function mutations in the myotubularin (MTM1) gene.Much of what is known about the disease, as well as the treatment strategies, has been uncovered through experimentation in pre-clinical models, particularly the Mtm1 gene

Phosphorylation of the Archaeal Holliday Junction Resolvase Hjc Inhibits Its Catalytic Activity and Facilitates DNA Repair in Sulfolobus islandicus REY15A

Protein phosphorylation is one of the main protein post-translational modifications and regulates DNA repair in eukaryotes.Archaeal genomes encode eukaryotic-like DNA repair proteins and protein kinases (ePKs), and several proteins involved in homologous recombination repair (HRR) including Hjc, a conserved Holliday junction (HJ) resolvase in Archa
