Cystinosin, MPDU1, SWEETs and KDELR belong to a well-defined protein family with putative function of cargo receptors involved in vesicle trafficking. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Classification of proteins into families based on remote homology often helps prediction of their biological function. Here we describe prediction of protein cargo receptors involved in vesicle formation and protein trafficking.

Evolution of the nucleus [PDF]

, 2014
Under a Creative Commons license.The nucleus represents a major evolutionary transition. As a consequence of separating translation from transcription many new functions arose, which likely contributed to the remarkable success of eukaryotic cells.

Comparative Molecular Microbial Ecology of the Spring Haptophyte Bloom in a Greenland Arctic Oligosaline Lake [PDF]

, 2012
The Arctic is highly sensitive to increasing global temperatures and is projected to experience dramatic ecological shifts in the next few decades. Oligosaline lakes are common in arctic regions where evaporation surpasses precipitation, however these ...

Seasonal and spatial transitions in phytoplankton assemblages spanning estuarine to open ocean waters of the tropical Pacific

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Islands in the tropical Pacific supply elevated nutrients to nearshore waters that enhance phytoplankton biomass and create hotspots of productivity in otherwise nutrient‐poor oceans. Despite the importance of these hotspots in supporting nearshore food webs, the spatial and temporal variability of phytoplankton enhancement and changes in the ...

The relationships between the isoelectric point and: length of proteins, taxonomy and ecology of organisms

BMC Genomics, 2007
Background The distribution of isoelectric point (pI) of proteins in a proteome is universal for all organisms. It is bimodal dividing the proteome into two sets of acidic and basic proteins.

Microbial Communities in Biocrusts Are Recruited From the Neighboring Sand at Coastal Dunes Along the Baltic Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Biological soil crusts occur worldwide as pioneer communities stabilizing the soil surface. In coastal primary sand dunes, vascular plants cannot sustain due to scarce nutrients and the low-water-holding capacity of the sand sediment.

Quantifying Soil Microbiome Abundance by Metatranscriptomics and Complementary Molecular Techniques—Cross‐Validation and Perspectives

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Linking meta‐omics and biogeochemistry approaches in soils has remained challenging. This study evaluates the use of an internal RNA extraction standard and its potential for making quantitative estimates of a given microbial community size (biomass) in soil metatranscriptomics. We evaluate commonly used laboratory protocols for RNA processing,

Co-Inheritance Analysis within the Domains of Life Substantially Improves Network Inference by Phylogenetic Profiling.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Phylogenetic profiling, a network inference method based on gene inheritance profiles, has been widely used to construct functional gene networks in microbes. However, its utility for network inference in higher eukaryotes has been limited.

Ancestrality and Mosaicism of Giant Viruses Supporting the Definition of the Fourth TRUC of Microbes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Giant viruses of amoebae were discovered in 2003. Since then, their diversity has greatly expanded. They were suggested to form a fourth branch of life, collectively named ‘TRUC’ (for “Things Resisting Uncompleted Classifications”) alongside Bacteria ...
