The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Designing functional markers to identify the candidate gene SRWD2 involved in salt tolerances of Vietnamese rice landraces

Vietnam Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering, 2017
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses, and it limits rice production in many worldwide areas. A lot of attention has been paid to developing rice salinity tolerance to cope with climate change.

Candidate genes in ocular dominance plasticity [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2012
Many studies have been devoted to the identification of genes involved in experience-dependent plasticity in the visual cortex. To discover new candidate genes, we have reexamined data from one such study on ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in recombinant inbred BXD mouse strains. We have correlated the level of plasticity with the gene expression data

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Polymorphisms on SSC15q21-q26 Containing QTL for reproduction in Swine and its association with litter size

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009
Several quantitative trait loci (QTL) for important reproductive traits (ovulation rate) have been identified on the porcine chromosome 15 (SSC15). To assist in the selection of positional candidate swine genes for these QTL on SSC15, twenty-one genes ...

Peptic ulcer candidate genes

Experimental and Clinical Gastroenterology, 2021
Hereditary predisposition is one of the aetiopathogenetic factors in the development of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. The analysis of literature materials allows us to identify a number of candidate genes that play a role in the formation of peptic ulcer: PSCA, ABO, IL1β, IL1RN, TNFα, HSP70-1, GSR, TLR4, TLR2, TLR9, MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP- 9, TIMP-3 ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Differential allelic expression of IL13 and CSF2 genes associated with asthma

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012
An important area of genetic research is the identification of functional mechanisms in polymorphisms associated with diseases. A highly relevant functional mechanism is the influence of polymorphisms on gene expression levels (differential allelic ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in
