A genome‐wide investigation of the worldwide invader Sargassum muticum shows high success albeit (almost) no genetic diversity

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2020
Twenty years of genetic studies of marine invaders have shown that successful invaders are often characterized by native and introduced populations displaying similar levels of genetic diversity.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Thioredoxin 2 protects mice against experimental myocardial infarction

open access: yesRedox Experimental Medicine
Experimental Myocardial infarction (MI) using ligation procedure induces cardiac dysfunction, high level of ROS, inflammation, apoptosis, fibrosis and cardiomyocyte (CM) loss. AAV overexpressing human Trx-2, specifically in CM mitochondria improves mouse

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

The Methyltransferase VdPRMT4 Regulates Verticillium dahliae via Regulation of Primary Metabolic Processes

open access: yesJournal of Fungi
Cotton Verticillium wilt (VW), caused by the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae (V. dahliae), is a devastating disease that poses a serious threat to sustainable cotton production worldwide.

Insufficiency of Thyroid Hormone in Frog Metamorphosis and the Role of Glucocorticoids

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Thyroid hormone (TH) is the most important hormone in frog metamorphosis, a developmental process which will not occur in the absence of TH but can be induced precociously by exogenous TH.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Increasing autophagy does not affect neurogenic muscle atrophy

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Translational Myology, 2018
Physiological autophagy plays a crucial role in the regulation of muscle mass and metabolism, while the excessive induction or the inhibition of the autophagic flux contributes to the progression of several diseases.

A continuum of biological adaptations to environmental fluctuation

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019
Bet-hedging—a strategy that reduces fitness variance at the expense of lower mean fitness among different generations—is thought to evolve as a biological adaptation to environmental unpredictability. Despite widespread use of the bet-hedging concept, most theoretical treatments have largely made unrealistic demographic assumptions, such as non ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.
