Enhancing Precision and Efficiency of Cas9-Mediated Knockin Through Combinatorial Fusions of DNA Repair Proteins

…, CD Robertson, AJ Romanowski, J Inen… - The CRISPR …, 2023 - liebertpub.com
Cas9 targets genomic loci with high specificity. For knockin with double-strand break repair,
however, Cas9 often leads to unintended on-target knockout rather than intended edits. This …

[HTML][HTML] Neuronal mTOR outposts: Implications for translation, signaling, and plasticity

B Altas, AJ Romanowski, GW Bunce… - Frontiers in Cellular …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
The kinase mTOR is a signaling hub for pathways that regulate cellular growth. In neurons,
the subcellular localization of mTOR takes on increased significance. Here, we review …

NPRL3 loss alters neuronal morphology, mTOR localization, cortical lamination and seizure threshold

…, LE Bowser, AE Barnes, JK Babus, AJ Romanowski… - Brain, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Mutations in nitrogen permease regulator-like 3 (NPRL3), a component of the GATOR1
complex within the mTOR pathway, are associated with epilepsy and malformations of cortical …

Region-Specific Phosphorylation Determines Neuroligin-3 Localization to Excitatory versus Inhibitory Synapses

…, T Soykan, C Brandenburg, AJ Romanowski… - Biological …, 2023 - Elsevier
Background Neuroligin-3 is a postsynaptic adhesion molecule involved in synapse development
and function. It is implicated in rare, monogenic forms of autism, and its shedding is …

Phosphorylation Determines Whether Neuroligin-3 is at Excitatory or Inhibitory Synapses in Different Regions of the Brain

…, A Patrizi, K Dimova, T Soykan, AJ Romanowski… - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Neuroligin-3 is a postsynaptic adhesion molecule involved in development, function, and
pathologies of synapses in the brain. It is a genetic cause of autism and a potent component of …

Cas9 fusions for precision in vivo editing

…, M Steyert, J Inen, S Khim, AJ Romanowski… - BioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
Current Cas9 reagents can target genomic loci with high specificity. However, when used for
knockin, on-target outcomes are inherently imprecise, often leading to unintended knockout …

Rapid modeling of an ultra-rare epilepsy patient variant in mice by in utero prime editing

…, DCO Vieira, M Steyert, PN McKeon, AJ Romanowski… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Generating animal models for individual patients within clinically relevant time frames holds
the potential to revolutionize personalized medicine for rare genetic epilepsies. By …

Symmetry in levels of axon-axon homophilic adhesion establishes topography in the corpus callosum and development of connectivity between brain hemispheres

…, Y Itoh, MJ Galazo, LC Greig, AJ Romanowski… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Specific and highly diverse connectivity between functionally specialized regions of the
nervous system is controlled at multiple scales, from anatomically organized connectivity …

Novel anti-oxidative peptides from enzymatic digestion of human milk

A Tsopmo, A Romanowski, L Banda, JC Lavoie… - Food Chemistry, 2011 - Elsevier
Human milk pepsin and pancreatin digests were separated using molecular membrane and
reverse phase chromatography. Chemical screening of the resulting fractions using the …

TAB2, a nucleoside diphosphate protein kinase, is a component of the tMEK2 disease resistance pathway in tomato

T Xing, C Rampitsch, S Sun, A Romanowski… - … and Molecular Plant …, 2008 - Elsevier
Signal transduction is used by plants to coordinate their development and to sense and
respond to fluctuations in their surroundings. With previous proteomics approaches, we …
