Evolutionary Dynamics of the SKN-1 → MED → END-1,3 Regulatory Gene Cascade in Caenorhabditis Endoderm Specification

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Gene regulatory networks and their evolution are important in the study of animal development. In the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, the endoderm (gut) is generated from a single embryonic precursor, E.

TRIP13PCH-2 promotes Mad2 localization to unattached kinetochores in the spindle checkpoint response. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The spindle checkpoint acts during cell division to prevent aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer. During checkpoint activation, Mad1 recruits Mad2 to kinetochores to generate a signal that delays anaphase onset.

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Ginseng Extract Ameliorates the Negative Physiological Effects of Heat Stress by Supporting Heat Shock Response and Improving Intestinal Barrier Integrity: Evidence from Studies with Heat-Stressed Caco-2 Cells, C. elegans and Growing Broilers

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Climatic changes and heat stress have become a great challenge in the livestock industry, negatively affecting, in particular, poultry feed intake and intestinal barrier malfunction.

Role of the ubiquitin-selective CDC-48/UFD-1/NPL-4 chaperone in DNA replication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Faithful transmission of genomic information requires tight spatiotemporal regulation of DNA replication factors. Posttranslational modifications, such as ubiquitylation, constitute a fast and effective mechanism to control such complex protein function.

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

The C. elegans DSB-2 protein reveals a regulatory network that controls competence for meiotic DSB formation and promotes crossover assurance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
For most organisms, chromosome segregation during meiosis relies on deliberate induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and repair of a subset of these DSBs as inter-homolog crossovers (COs).

In Vivo Cytoskeletal AMPA Receptor Transport Imaging in C. elegans

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐distance intracellular transport of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) is essential for proper excitatory synaptic function underlying learning and memory. Many neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions have abnormal iGluR transport and trafficking, leading to an intense interest in the mechanisms and factors regulating these

Protocol for Reconstituting Adaptor‐Mediated Activation of Full‐Length Kinesin‐1

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kinesin‐1 is a member of the kinesin superfamily that plays an essential role in intracellular cargo transport. In the absence of cargo, Kinesin‐1 exhibits low motor activity due to autoinhibition. Multiple studies have demonstrated that adaptor proteins, which link cargos to Kinesin‐1, can activate Kinesin‐1 by releasing the autoinhibition ...

Broadly conserved roles of TMEM131 family proteins in intracellular collagen assembly and secretory cargo trafficking. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals. Its dysregulation contributes to aging and many human disorders, including pathological tissue fibrosis in major organs.
