Modifying the m6A brain methylome by ALKBH5-mediated demethylation: a new contender for synaptic tagging (2021)
Journal Article
Martinez De La Cruz, B., Markus, R., Malla, S., Haig, M. I., Gell, C., Sang, F., …Knight, H. M. (2021). Modifying the m6A brain methylome by ALKBH5-mediated demethylation: a new contender for synaptic tagging. Molecular Psychiatry, 26(12), 7141-7153. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-021-01282-z

Synaptic plasticity processes, which underlie learning and memory formation, require RNA to be translated local to synapses. The synaptic tagging hypothesis has previously been proposed to explain how mRNAs are available at specific activated synapse...

CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity (2021)
Journal Article
Rusu, A. D., Cornhill, Z. E., Coutiño, B. C., Uribe, M. C., Lourdusamy, A., Markus, Z., …Georgiou, M. (2021). CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity. Open Biology, 11(9), Article 210077. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsob.210077

Approximately 90% of cancer-related deaths can be attributed to a tumour's ability to spread. We have identified CG7379, the fly orthologue of human ING1, as a potent invasion suppressor. ING1 is a type II tumour suppressor with well-established role... Read More about CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity.
