Intestinal spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira share a partially conserved 26 kilobase genomic region with Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli [PDF]
Anaerobic intestinal spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira include both pathogenic and commensal species. The two best-studied members are the pathogenic species B. hyodysenteriae (the aetiological agent of swine dysentery) and B.

Intron retention generates ANKRD1 splice variants that are co-regulated with the main transcript in normal and failing myocardium [PDF]
[Abstract] The cardiac ankyrin repeat domain 1 protein (ANKRD1, also known as CARP) has been extensively characterized with regard to its proposed functions as a cardio-enriched transcriptional co-factor and stress-inducible myofibrillar protein.

Differential Proteomics of Large Extracellular Vesicles in Ovarian Cancer
ABSTRACT Diverse extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in all body fluids; however, knowledge of large EVs (lEVs) remains limited. Molecular EV profiles vary depending on EV size and the physiological circulatory system, even within the same patient. In this study, we aimed to characterize the proteomic profile of IEVs in ovarian cancer patients and

Designed Ankyrin Repeat Proteins as Scaffolds for Multivalent Recognition [PDF]
Ankyrin repeat (AR) proteins are composed of tandem repeats of a basic structural motif of ca. 33 amino acid residues that form a β-turn followed by two antiparallel α-helices. Multiple repeats stack together in a modular fashion to form a scaffold that is ideally suited for the presentation of multiple functional groups and/or recognition elements ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Understand spiciness: mechanism of TRPV1 channel activation by capsaicin. [PDF]
Capsaicin in chili peppers bestows the sensation of spiciness. Since the discovery of its receptor, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel, how capsaicin activates this channel has been under extensive investigation using a variety ...

Global evolution and expression analysis of BTB-containing ankyrin repeat genes in plants [PDF]
The ankyrin (ANK) repeat domain and bric-a-brac, tram-track, broad complex (BTB) domains, which are the most common protein motifs in eukaryotic proteins, regulate diverse developmental and biological processes in plants.

Compartmentalisation in cAMP signalling: A phase separation perspective
Cells rely on precise spatiotemporal control of signalling pathways to ensure functional specificity. The compartmentalisation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA) signalling enables distinct cellular responses within a crowded cytoplasmic space.
