    ASM variants in the spotlight:A structure-based atlas for unraveling pathogenic mechanisms in lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase

    No full text
    Lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), a critical enzyme in lipid metabolism encoded by the SMPD1 gene, plays a crucial role in sphingomyelin hydrolysis in lysosomes. ASM deficiency leads to acid sphingomyelinase deficiency, a rare genetic disorder with diverse clinical manifestations, and the protein can be found mutated in other diseases. We employed a structure-based framework to comprehensively understand the functional implications of ASM variants, integrating pathogenicity predictions with molecular insights derived from a molecular dynamics simulation in a lysosomal membrane environment. Our analysis, encompassing over 400 variants, establishes a structural atlas of missense variants of lysosomal ASM, associating mechanistic indicators with pathogenic potential. Our study highlights variants that influence structural stability or exert local and long-range effects at functional sites. To validate our predictions, we compared them to available experimental data on residual catalytic activity in 135 ASM variants. Notably, our findings also suggest applications of the resulting data for identifying cases suited for enzyme replacement therapy. This comprehensive approach enhances the understanding of ASM variants and provides valuable insights for potential therapeutic interventions.</p

    “I beg you to tell me what has become of Djamila”: The Political Mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s Readers During the Boupacha Affair

    No full text
    By Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers. The citations from the letters were translated from French by the author. *** On June 2, 1960, the French government ordered all copies of the daily Algiers edition of Le Monde seized and destroyed to suppress the publication of Simone de Beauvoir’s article “Pour Djamila Boupacha.” Beauvoir, a self-professed “woman of letters”, not “of action[1]”, and one ..
