Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Applying molecular dynamics simulations to validate OCT1 substrates uncovers vitamin K1 as a high-affinity ligand

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
OCT1 is a hepatic membrane uptake transporter of clinical importance in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. OCT1 exhibits broad substrate specificity, mediating uptake of diverse compounds, including the neurotransmitter serotonin and the antidiabetic ...

Variability in intracellular localization of D‐amino acid oxidase in choroid plexus epithelial cells

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
D‐amino acid oxidase (DAO) in choroid plexus epithelial cells (CPECs) shows vesicle‐like localization by histological and super‐resolution analyses. DAO colocalizes with peroxisomal, Golgi, endosomal, lysosomal, autophagosomal, and exosomal markers, indicating diverse subcellular distribution. This suggests DAO is transported within CPECs to metabolize

A cryptic targeting signal creates a mitochondrial FEN1 isoform with tailed R-Loop binding properties.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
A growing number of DNA transacting proteins is found in the nucleus and in mitochondria, including the DNA repair and replication protein Flap endonuclease 1, FEN1. Here we show a truncated FEN1 isoform is generated by alternative translation initiation,

Research Notes: Induction of sterility in soybeans with ethidium bromide

open access: yes, 1977
Ethidium bromide (EB), an acridine compound which binds to nucleic acids, has been used as a mutagen in peanuts by Levy and Ashri (1975). Burton and Hanna (1976) induced cytoplasmic male sterile mutations in peari millet with EB and suggested that EB as ...

KU80 suppresses endonuclease G activity to preserve genomic integrity

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Under normal conditions, EndoG remains restricted to mitochondria and the genome remains intact. When KU80 is absent, EndoG translocates into the nucleus, where it promotes DNA fragmentation and genomic instability. Thus, this work highlights the importance of KU80 in tightly controlling EndoG localization to preserve genome stability.

Bacillus cereus efflux protein BC3310 - a multidrug transporter of the unknown major facilitator family, UMF-2

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Phylogenetic classification divides the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) into 82 families, including 25 families that are comprised of transporters with no characterized functions.
