Genetic architecture of rainbow trout survival from egg to adult [PDF]

, 2010
Survival from birth to a reproductive adult is a challenge that only robust individuals resistant to a variety of mortality factors will overcome. To assess whether survival traits share genetic architecture throughout the life cycle, we estimated ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Selection Strategy for Breeding Pepper Lines with Ornamental Potential

Horticulturae
Considering that effective selection strategies are essential for the development of new ornamental pepper cultivars, the objective of this work was to select superior partially endogamic lines (PEL) of pepper in a F2:3 generation, using the combination ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Genomic and pedigree-based genetic parameters for scarcely recorded traits when some animals are genotyped [PDF]

, 2011
Genetic parameters were estimated using relationships between animals that were based either on pedigree, 43,011 single nucleotide polymorphisms, or a combination of these, considering genotyped and non-genotyped animals.

Genomic Evaluation of Harvest Weight Uniformity in Penaeus vannamei Under a 3FAM Design Incorporating Indirect Genetic Effect

Biology
Harvest weight uniformity is a critical economic trait in the production of Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei). Social interactions among individuals can significantly influence both uniformity and productivity in aquaculture.

Genetic parameters for stayability in Murrah buffaloes [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Research, 2010
In order to contribute to the breeding programmes of Asian water buffalo, the aim of this study was to analyse the influence of genetic effects in the stayability of Murrah dairy buffaloes. The stayability trait (ST) was defined as the female's ability to stay in the herd for one (ST1), two (ST2), three (ST3), four (ST4), five (ST5) or six years (ST6 ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Genetic and phenotypic correlations among feed efficiency, immune and production traits in indigenous chicken of Kenya

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
This study aimed at estimating genetic and phenotypic relationships among feed efficiency, immune and production traits measured pre- (9–20 weeks of age) and post- (12 weeks from on-set of lay) maturity.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
