Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes produce an immune response against plasmids with 5ʹ-GTTTGTT-3ʹ
Cell & Bioscience, 2022 In the evolutionary “arms race” from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, some memories of foreign DNA have been conserved for defensive purposes. Shortly after invasion by the plasmid, pEGFP-N1, the conserved the defense gene, isg15, was activated in the ...

Loss of WTAP Impairs Early Parthenogenetic Embryo Development
Animals, 2021 m6A is one of the most common and abundant modifications of RNA molecules present in eukaryotes. The methyltransferase complex, consisting of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), METTL14, and WTAP, is responsible for the m6A modification of RNA.

Distinct Roles of Smooth Muscle and Non-muscle Myosin Light Chain-Mediated Smooth Muscle Contraction
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Both smooth muscle (SM) and non-muscle (NM) myosin II are expressed in hollow organs such as the bladder and uterus, but their respective roles in contraction and corresponding physiological functions remain to be determined.

British Medical Bulletin, 2000 Animal models of cerebral ischaemia mimic at best less than 25% of all strokes. Compounds which prove efficacious in animal models should, therefore, only be expected to improve outcome in a quarter of all strokes. If trials for acute stroke are to succeed, stroke subgroups represented by the animal models should be targeted. For the other subgroups, e.

Methoxychlor induces oxidative stress and impairs early embryonic development in pigs
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Introduction: Methoxychlor (MXC) is an organochlorine pesticide (OCP) that was formerly used worldwide as an insecticide against pests and mosquitoes. However, MXC is not biodegradable and has lipophilic characteristics; thus, it accumulates in organisms
