Evolutionary modes in protein observable space: the case of Thioredoxins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this article, we investigated the structural and dynamical evolutionary behaviour of a set of ten thioredoxin proteins as formed by three extant forms and seven resurrected ones in laboratory.

A genomic amplification affecting a carboxylesterase gene cluster confers organophosphate resistance in the mosquito Aedes aegypti: From genomic characterization to high‐throughput field detection

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2021
By altering gene expression and creating paralogs, genomic amplifications represent a key component of short‐term adaptive processes. In insects, the use of insecticides can select gene amplifications causing an increased expression of detoxification ...

Glyco‐Nanogels for Modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Nanogels presenting α‐galactose and β‐fucose can significantly alter Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm dynamics through their interaction with lectins. Application timing is crucial: pre‐treatment reduces biofilm, while treatment after biofilm initiation increases biomass.

Enteropathogen antibody dynamics and force of infection among children in low-resource settings. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Little is known about enteropathogen seroepidemiology among children in low-resource settings. We measured serological IgG responses to eight enteropathogens (Giardia intestinalis, Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, Salmonella enterica ...

Ancient eukaryotic origin and evolutionary plasticity of nuclear lamina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The emergence of the nucleus was a major event of eukaryogenesis. How the nuclear envelope (NE) arose and acquired functions governing chromatin organization and epigenetic control has direct bearing on origins of developmental/stage-specific expression ...

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Removal of Di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) from water using a LECA-Pseudomonas putida Biobarrier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The removal and biodegradation of an organic toxic pollutant, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), has been investigated. Initially, a screening of different degrading bacteria has been developed and Pseudomonas putida showed the highest degradation ...

Shedding light on the expansion and diversification of the Cdc48 protein family during the rise of the eukaryotic cell. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A defining feature of eukaryotic cells is the presence of various distinct membrane-bound compartments with different metabolic roles. Material exchange between most compartments occurs via a sophisticated vesicle trafficking system.

Experimental evolution supports the potential of neonicotinoid-pyrethroid combination for managing insecticide resistance in malaria vectors

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The introduction of neonicotinoids for managing insecticide resistance in mosquitoes is of high interest as they interact with a biochemical target not previously used in public health.

Mutualists construct the ecological conditions that trigger the transition from parasitism

open access: yesPeer Community Journal, 2022
The evolution of mutualism between hosts and initially parasitic symbionts represents a major transition in evolution. Although vertical transmission of symbionts during host reproduction and partner control both favour the stability of mutualism, these ...
