  • While human adults are made up of trillions of cells, we all started out as just one cell, the fertilized egg. (bath.ac.uk)
  • Conversely, the single-cell data showed that the key cells that will become the embryo (the inner cell mass or ICM) don't contain jumping genes but instead express a virus-like gene called human endogenous virus H. This helps suppress the young jumping genes in the inner cell mass, fitting with an emerging pattern that we use our old genetic enemies to fight our new ones. (bath.ac.uk)

  • Cancer cells regulate the production of 2-HG to keep dividing, preventing the build-up of higher concentrations of 2-HG that would kill them. (genengnews.com)
  • How cancer cells accomplish this feat has been unknown until now and was the focus for a team of researchers including scientists from the University of Chicago, Emory University School of Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, and Yale University School of Medicine. (genengnews.com)
  • They found that cancer cells modify the mutant IDH2 enzyme through acetylation at a lysine residue that prevents the enzyme from coupling to form a dimer. (genengnews.com)
  • The team identified a master regulator tyrosine kinase enzyme called FLT3, that initiates a series of biochemical phosphorylation events that results in the acetylation of IDH2, a modification that blocks its activity and decreases the amount of 2-HG in the cell, keeping the AML cancer cells from dying.

  • While we try and suppress these jumping genes by any means possible, very early in development they are active in some cells, probably because we cannot get our genetic defences in place fast enough. (bath.ac.uk)
  • Co-lead author Professor Laurence Hurst, from the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath, said: "If a cell is damaged by the jumping genes - or any other sort of error such as having too few or too many chromosomes - then the embryo is better off removing these cells and not allowing them to become part of the developing baby.
