Discovery of 11 new Cas12a candidates from a human gut microbiome database To discover new members of the Cas12a protein family, we built a pipeline that searches and sorts out new candidates from the National Center for Biotechnological Information (NCBI) human metagenome database. Using this search pipeline (Fig. 1a), we initially…

The C3a receptor (C3aR) is expressed on most human peripheral blood leukocytes with the exception of resting lymphocytes, implying a much higher pathophysiological relevance of the anaphylatoxin C3a as a proinflammatory mediator than previously thought. The response to this complement split product must be tightly regulated in situations with sustained…

Mobility of eukaryotic transposable elements (TEs) are finely regulated to avoid an excessive mutational load caused by their movement. The transposition of retrotransposons is usually regulated through the interaction of host- and TE-encoded proteins, with non-coding regions (LTR and 5′-UTR) of the transposon. Examples of new potent cis-acting sequences, identified…
