TL;DR

These findings establish TMEM107 and RFX7 as key components of the molecular pathway linking U4atac dysfunction to ciliary defects and impaired brain development, providing new physiopathological insights and therapeutic perspectives for RNU4ATAC-related disorders.

The minor spliceosome component U4atac regulates JAK/STAT signaling to modulate hematopoiesis and immune responses in Drosophila melanogaster.

It is revealed that mutations in U4atac affect the splicing of a large set of transcripts involved in innate immunity, hematopoiesis, and intestinal cell functions, including the Drosophila Janus kinase (JAK) homolog hopscotch (hop).

MORF4L1, encoding a chromatin remodeler, is mutated in a recognizable dysmorphic neurodevelopmental disorder.

Functional modelling in zebrafish confirms a loss‑of-function mechanism and highlights species‑dependent differences specifically in the impact of the missense variant on protein function, and provides a cautionary tale about overreliance on animal models as a screening tool for variant classification.

RTTN moonlights beyond the centrosome to control ribosome biogenesis and tRNA modification in human brain organoids

It is shown that RTTN has an unrecognized function at the core of the translation machinery and is enriched in cycling first-trimester neural progenitors and physically associates with ribosome-biogenesis and RNA-processing factors.

Transcriptomics of independent CRISPR-edited cell lines reveal ciliary-specific ARL13B dependent changes

It is demonstrated that ciliary ARL13B is required to maintain normal ciliary composition and gene expression programs and underscores the value of multi-clone, rescue-based experimental designs for robust transcriptomic analyses.

CRISPR/dCas9-mediated tuning of DMPK transcription reveals a quantitative relationship between toxic repeat RNA expression and MBNL1 activity in myotonic dystrophy.

It is demonstrated that expanded DMPK transcript levels modulate free MBNL1 concentration and alternative splicing in a dose-dependent manner, underscoring the central role of repeat RNA expression in DM1 pathogenesis.
