Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Seasonal differences and downstream transport of terrestrial vertebrate eDNA: Insights from integrated camera-trap survey and water eDNA metabarcoding

Global Ecology and Conservation
Effective biodiversity conservation requires efficient, comprehensive, and cost-effective monitoring tools. While environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is widely used for aquatic biodiversity assessments, its application for monitoring terrestrial ...

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

NextDenovo: an efficient error correction and accurate assembly tool for noisy long reads

Genome Biology
Long-read sequencing data, particularly those derived from the Oxford Nanopore sequencing platform, tend to exhibit high error rates. Here, we present NextDenovo, an efficient error correction and assembly tool for noisy long reads, which achieves a high

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Anti-HIV-1 Activity of the Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor ACC017

Viruses
HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are pivotal to antiretroviral therapy. However, the emergence of drug-resistant mutations necessitates the development of new agents. Here, we present ACC017 as a novel INSTI candidate.

Interplay between circadian and other transcription factors—Implications for cycling transcriptome reprogramming

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

A 150‐Year Avian Extinction Debt Forewarns a Global Species Crisis and Highlights Conservation Opportunities

Conservation Letters
Humans have caused pervasive wildlife habitat loss by transforming most of the Earth's terrestrial surface, while unexpectedly limited species have consequently gone extinct.

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Near complete assembly of Drosophila melanogaster Canton S strain genome

Nature Communications
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a pivotal model organism, yet its reference genome (ISO-1 strain) retains unresolved gaps in complex regions. Here, we present a near-complete telomere-to-telomere genome assembly (Dm.nT2T) of the Canton S strain (
