Phosphorylation of BigH1 regulates its expression pattern and promotes embryonic development

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phosphorylation is a key regulator of the linker histone variant BigH1 during Drosophila embryogenesis. We reveal that N‐terminal phosphorylation promotes the timely removal of BigH1 from chromatin. In contrast, C‐terminal phosphorylation supports early nuclear divisions and embryonic viability.

Selective autophagy pathways in ageing and neurodegeneration: Emerging roles for mitophagy and nucleophagy

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
As we age, cells gradually accumulate damage, which can contribute to disease and neurodegeneration. This review explores how two cellular recycling processes, mitophagy and nucleophagy, remove damaged mitochondria and nuclear material, respectively, to maintain cell health and long‐term neuronal homeostasis.

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

RNA activation in insects: From emerging evidence to molecular applications

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Canonical RNA activation involves small RNAs interacting with promoter sequences, but there is also evidence of non‐canonical RNAa in eukaryotes. Emerging evidence suggests the presence of RNAa in insects. RNAa can be utilised as a tool for functional genomic studies in insects.

TcFur1, a furin 1 ortholog in Tribolium castaneum, regulates reproduction and carbohydrate metabolism without affecting lipid homeostasis

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
TcFur1, a furin 1 ortholog in Tribolium castaneum, is highly expressed in pupae and declines in adults. TcFur1 knockdown reduces oviposition but does not alter triacylglycerol levels or total lipase activity. TcFur1 knockdown increases circulating trehalose and decreases expression of insulin‐like peptides and the AKH receptor.

Floral Trait Influence on the Foraging Decisions of a Fly Pollinator

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flies foraging for floral resources provide important ecosystem services through the pollination of myriad angiosperms, including many crop species. However, the specific floral cues used by fly pollinators to locate and discriminate among floral rewards and the preferences they may have for specific cues remain poorly understood.
