Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nThe transcription factor ZNF558 is uniquely expressed in human forebrain neural progenitor cells and is absent in chimpanzees, suggesting a role in the evolution of human brain complexity."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " Initially evolved to repress LINE‐1 transposons, ZNF558 has been co-opted to regulate the mitophagy gene SPATA18, thereby contributing to mitochondrial homeostasis. Experiments utilizing cerebral organoid models reveal that loss of ZNF558 impairs developmental timing during early brain development, underscoring its critical role in neurogenesis. Moreover, the gene’s expression is influenced by a cis‐acting variable number tandem repeat—longer in chimpanzees and variable within humans—highlighting how structural genomic variations can rewire regulatory networks and drive human brain evolution."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Pia A Johansson, Per Ludvik Brattås, Christopher H Douse, et al.
