Genetic evaluation of growth traits in Nellore cattle through multi-trait and random regression models

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2018
We aimed to evaluate different orders of fixed and random effects in random regression models (RRM) based on Legendre orthogonal polynomials as well as to verify the feasibility of these models to describe growth curves in Nellore cattle.

Alpaca growth curves

open access: yes, 2014
Evaluating animal growth characteristics is an effective monitoring tool to assess adequacy of the nutritional program. Growth will be directly influenced post-weaning by the amount and quality of the diet consumed. Early growth is indirectly affected by

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Proposal for a new non-linear model to describe growth curves

open access: yesBioscience Journal
This study was developed with longitudinal data measurements of Norfolk rabbits from birth to 119 days of age to estimate the average growth curve, with the primary objective of proposing a non-linear model.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

Seasonal stem growth analysis shows early stem growth of Miscanthus from high latitudes yields more biomass but stem traits negatively interact to limit seasonal growth

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
High yielding perennial grasses are utilised as biomass for the bioeconomy and to displace fossil fuels. Miscanthus is a perennial grass used as a source of biomass but most of the cultivated crop is limited to a naturally occurring hybrid M. × giganteus.
