Molecular structure and nickel‐binding capacity of Proteus mirabilis UreE

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
This study presents a 2.0 Å resolution crystal structure and determined the nickel‐binding capacity of the P. mirabilis nickel chaperone UreE. UreE is essential for the delivery of nickel to the metalloenzyme urease, which is key for the ability of P. mirabilis to cause urinary‐tract infections.UreE is a nickel chaperone that is required for the safe ...

Overexpression of Escherichia coli yaiX Confers Multidrug Resistance and Enhances Virulence in the Silkworm Infection Model

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emergence of bacteria with both antimicrobial resistance and high virulence has become a global health concern, underscoring the urgent need to elucidate the molecular basis underlying these traits. Here, we employed the silkworm (Bombyx mori) infection model, which is suitable for high‐throughput screening, together with an Escherichia ...

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Comparative Analysis of Heat Exposure‐Induced Molecular Changes in Two Turtle Species with Contrasting Thermal Adaptations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum is highlighted in response to heat stress in Platysternon megacephalum. Under heat stress, the up‐regulation of genes such as CHOP in protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum pathway, along with the suppression of energy and lipid metabolism and the up‐regulation of JARID2 expression, leads to ...

Prenatal Environmental Hypoxia Enhances Adult Hypoxia Tolerance in Brandt's Voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii): Behavioral and Transcriptomic Insights

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Prenatal hypoxia enhances adult hypoxia tolerance in Brandt's voles, preserving cognitive and memory functions. Transcriptomic analysis reveals adaptive changes in energy metabolism, oxygen transport, and neuroprotective mechanisms, highlighting developmental plasticity.

High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.

Folding, misfolding, and regulation of intracellular traffic of G protein‐coupled receptors involved in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...
