A liposarcoma arose in the kidney of a 52-year-old man. After 13 years, it recurred, was resected, and recurred again. The second recurrence was inoperable.

In this issue of Cell Genomics, McKeever et al.1 generate a single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of ALS/FTLD brain and reveal widespread alternative polyadenylation changes. Their findings highlight 3' end RNA processing as a central integrator of stress responses, cell-type specificity, and disease susceptibility, offering new mechanistic insight and potential therapeutic directions.
We identified conditions for heating and quick cooling viroid RNAs in the presence of salt which lead to the production of conformational isomers stable to incubation for at least 45 minutes at 30 degrees in the presence of magnesium ions. Elution in 0.3 M NaCl allowed the purification of an electrophoretically slow form of an in vitro transcript carrying a complete copy of the potato spindle tuber viroid RNA sequence. Slow forms of this transcript and of kinase-labeled linear viroid RNA persisted for longer than 20 minutes when incubated with a protein-rich extract prepared from the nuclei of uninfected tomato plants, although both were slowly cleaved by a nuclease present in this extract. The fast form of the transcript was highly resistant to this tomato ribonuclease. The slow form of the transcript was much more susceptible to cleavage by RNase T1 than the fast form of this RNA, suggesting that the reduced gel mobility of the slow forms results from their relatively open structure. The ability to purify viroid conformational isomers from polyacrylamide gels will facilitate biochemical studies aimed at identifying host components interacting with RNAs of the viroid replication complex, which may not all be present in the most thermodynamically favored rodlike structure of mature viroids.
The binding of the corepressor, L-tryptophan, to the Escherichia coli trp-aporepressor in solution has been examined by 13C- and 19F-NMR spectroscopy. The binding of a number of tryptophan analogues have been studied by equilibrium dialysis. Evidence is presented that support the crystallographic studies (Schevitz, R. W., Otwinowski, Z., Joachimiak, A., Lawson, C. L. and Sigler, P. B. (1985) Nature 317, 782-786) that Val-58 is within the ring currents of the bound tryptophan and also close in space to the indole 5'-position, on the basis of heteronuclear 19F(1H)-NOE experiments. The tryptophan carboxylate is in hydrogen-bonding distance to a highly positively charged residue, probably Arg-54 and this bond strengthens on formation of the trp-repressor-DNA complex.
