The genome of Megachile rotundata, an extensively managed solitary pollination bee species, has been sequenced, covering 280.68 Mb and predicting 10 701 genes. The study reveals significant expansions of the Toll gene family and their abundant expression in diapause prepupae, highlighting enhanced immune responses during diapause. This genome serves as

The effects of carboxylic acids on the aqueous dispersion and electrophoretic deposition of ZrO2 [PDF]
The agglomeration, electrokinetic properties and electrophoretic deposition behaviour of aqueous suspensions of ZrO2 with carboxylic acid additives were studied in comparison with conventional pH adjustment. It was found that citric acid imparted negative zeta-potential values and electrosteric stabilisation to particles in suspensions at all pH levels.

An Intermediate State of the {gamma}-Aminobutyric Acid Transporter GAT1 Revealed by Simultaneous Voltage Clamp and Fluorescence [PDF]
The rat {gamma}-aminobutyric acid transporter GAT1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes was labeled at Cys74, and at one or more other sites, by tetramethylrhodamine-5-maleimide, without significantly altering GAT1 function.

Negative modulation of the GABAAρ1 receptor function by l-cysteine [PDF]
l-Cysteine is an endogenous sulfur-containing amino acid with multiple and varied roles in the central nervous system, including neuroprotection and the maintenance of the redox balance.

Beyond the γ-aminobutyric acid hypothesis of schizophrenia
Abnormalities in the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system have been reported in the postmortem brains of individuals with schizophrenia. In particular, the reduction of one of the GABA-synthesizing enzymes, the 67-kDa isoform of glutamate decarboxylase ...

The gut microbiome is a potential target for treating cardiovascular disease. It is found that prophylactic administration of Flavonifractor plautii or its metabolite desaminotyrosine (DAT) exerts pleiotropic cardioprotective effects via promoting cardiomyocyte survival and attenuating cardiac inflammation against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R ...

What's new? The spatial distribution of glioma is nonrandom. However, whether pathological grade influences glioma distribution across the brain remains unclear. Here, the authors built a population‐based frequency map for 396 patients with glioblastoma multiforme and 190 patients with lower‐grade glioma, revealing their distinct topographic ...

Transport properties of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid in water [PDF]
In the present work, molecular dynamics study of diffusion of Gamma Aminobutyric acid in water at different temperatures 298.2 K, 303.2 K, 313.2 K, 323.2 K, 333.2 K have been performed. The solute and solvent is modeled using OPLS AA platform. The structure of the system is analyzed using RDF of different atom or molecule pairs.

Phospholipides containing amino acids other than serine. I. Detection [PDF]
In view of the widespread occurrence of the amino acid-containing lipides and the unique course of their metabolism during development of Drosophila, we have carried out extensive investigations concerned with their isolation and chemical nature.

Combined therapy with GABA and proinsulin/alum acts synergistically to restore long-term normoglycemia by modulating T-cell autoimmunity and promoting β-cell replication in newly diabetic NOD mice. [PDF]
Antigen-based therapies (ABTs) fail to restore normoglycemia in newly diabetic NOD mice, perhaps because too few β-cells remain by the time that ABT-induced regulatory responses arise and spread.
