From transporter to motor: Evolutionary and structural insights into the emergence of prestin's area‐motor activity in mammals

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Prestin, a member of the SLC26A family, is essential for the electromotility of mammalian outer hair cells, converting voltage changes into mechanical work. In contrast, nonmammalian orthologues function as anion transporters. To investigate the molecular and structural basis of this functional divergence, we performed ancestral sequence ...

Turtles as models for the maternal transfer of organic pollutants across reptile species, chemicals, and matrices

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Maternal offloading of chemicals presents a first exposure for embryos during a critical window of sensitive early life development. We aimed to develop reptile-specific models to quantify this offloading.
