Hungry for Knowledge: Octopamine Signaling Regulates Hunger‐Enhanced Olfactory Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers demonstrate that hunger state facilitates both aversive and appetitive olfactory learning. Two distinct octopamine signaling pathways are involved in aversive or appetitive memory formation in the hunger state. And, hunger state also facilitates the formation of both types of memories via an evolutionarily conserved norepinephrine (the ...

Vitellogenins - Yolk Gene Function and Regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Vitellogenins are a family of yolk proteins that are by far the most abundant among oviparous animals. In the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the 6 vitellogenins are among the most highly expressed genes in the adult hermaphrodite intestine, which

Expanded genetic screening in Caenorhabditis elegans identifies new regulators and an inhibitory role for NAD+ in axon regeneration. [PDF]

, 2018
The mechanisms underlying axon regeneration in mature neurons are relevant to the understanding of normal nervous system maintenance and for developing therapeutic strategies for injury.

The astacin metalloprotease moulting enzyme NAS-36 is required for normal cuticle ecdysis in free-living and parasitic nematodes [PDF]

, 2011
Nematodes represent one of the most abundant and species-rich groups of animals on the planet, with parasitic species causing chronic, debilitating infections in both livestock and humans worldwide. The prevalence and success of the nematodes is a direct

Core Fucosylation Represses SMURF1‐Dependent Degradation of CD47 to Promote Tumor Immune Evasion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FUT8‐mediated core fucosylation of CD47 at N111 blocks SMURF1 binding and reduces CD47 ubiquitination and degradation. Blocking N111 glycosylation reduces CD47 expression and promotes macrophage phagocytosis of tumor cells. Furthermore, ablating CD47 core fucosylation boosts CD103+ dendritic cells (DCs) infiltration, increases natural killer (NK) cell ...

Neurodegenerative disorders: Insights from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010
Neurodegenerative diseases impose a burden on society, yet for the most part, the mechanisms underlying neuronal dysfunction and death in these disorders remain unclear despite the identification of relevant disease genes.

Proteostasis collapse is a driver of cell aging and death. [PDF]

, 2019
What molecular processes drive cell aging and death? Here, we model how proteostasis-i.e., the folding, chaperoning, and maintenance of protein function-collapses with age from slowed translation and cumulative oxidative damage.

Genetic Control of Tissue Remodeling by a Non‐Coding SNP in ITGA8 Explains Carotenoid‐Based Color Polymorphism in Marine Mollusks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, the orange‐muscle giant abalone (Haliotis gigantea) is used as a model to identify a non‐coding SNP that disrupts the interaction between ITGA8 pre‐mRNA and the splicing factor ILF2, leading to altered ITGA8 splicing. These splicing changes promote carotenoid accumulation in abalone muscle through the regulation of tissue remodeling ...

Metabolic labeling of Caenorhabditis elegans primary embryonic cells with azido-sugars as a tool for glycoprotein discovery. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Glycobiology research with Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has benefitted from the numerous genetic and cell biology tools available in this system. However, the lack of a cell line and the relative inaccessibility of C. elegans somatic cells in vivo

A target repurposing approach identifies N-myristoyltransferase as a new candidate drug target in filarial nematodes [PDF]

, 2014
Myristoylation is a lipid modification involving the addition of a 14-carbon unsaturated fatty acid, myristic acid, to the N-terminal glycine of a subset of proteins, a modification that promotes their binding to cell membranes for varied biological ...
