Pitx2 impairs calcium handling in a dose-dependent manner by modulating Wnt signalling

E Lozano-Velasco, F Hernandez-Torres… - Cardiovascular …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia in humans, yet the genetic
cause of AF remains elusive. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have reported risk …

[HTML][HTML] The prefoldin bud27 mediates the assembly of the eukaryotic RNA polymerases in an rpb5-dependent manner

…, V Garcia-Molinero, F Hernandez-Torres… - PLoS …, 2013 - journals.plos.org
The unconventional prefoldin URI/RMP, in humans, and its orthologue in yeast, Bud27, have
been proposed to participate in the biogenesis of the RNA polymerases. However, this role …

Expanded CTG repeats trigger miRNA alterations in Drosophila that are conserved in myotonic dystrophy type 1 patients

…, O Jaka, A Aiastui, F Hernandez-Torres… - Human molecular …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by the expansion of CTG repeats in the 3′
untranslated region of the DMPK gene. Several missplicing events and transcriptional alterations …

Glutathione is the resolving thiol for thioredoxin peroxidase activity of 1-Cys peroxiredoxin without being consumed during the catalytic cycle

…, B McDonagh, F Hernandez-Torres… - Antioxidants & redox …, 2016 - liebertpub.com
Aims: A three-step catalytic cycle is common to all peroxiredoxins (Prxs), despite structural
and kinetic differences. The second step in 1-Cys type Prxs is a matter of debate since they …

[HTML][HTML] Pitx2c modulates Pax3+/Pax7+ cell populations and regulates Pax3 expression by repressing miR27 expression during myogenesis

…, A Contreras, C Crist, F Hernández-Torres… - Developmental …, 2011 - Elsevier
