Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Genetic and Phenotypic Parameter Estimates of Body Weight and Egg Production Traits of Tilili Chicken in Ethiopia

Animals
High genetic variation in African indigenous chicken populations provides opportunities for long-term genetic improvement. This study estimated genetic parameters for economic traits based on data derived from a nucleus flock comprising two generations ...

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Genetic Parameters of the Growth Rate, Survival Rate and Feed Efficiency Ratio of Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) at an Early Growth Stage

Animals
Genetic improvement, including improving the growth rate, survival rate and feed efficiency ratio (FER), can maximize the production efficiency of turbot.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Genomic prediction of genotyped and non-genotyped Jeju black cattle using single- and multi-trait methods for carcass traits

Italian Journal of Animal Science
Jeju black cattle (JBC) are recognised as one of Korea’s native breeds that are well-suited to the local environmental conditions and known for their excellent meat quality.

Genetic background of behavior traits in lactating sows under heat-stress conditions and their relationship with heat tolerance and maternal performance traits

Frontiers in Genetics
Heat stress is among the most significant welfare challenges facing modern swine production systems worldwide. Pigs are particularly susceptible to heat stress due to their inactive sudoriferous glands, which limits their capacity for evaporative cooling.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
