Spire stimulates nucleation by Cappuccino and binds both ends of actin filaments. [PDF]
, 2020 The actin nucleators Spire and Cappuccino synergize to promote actin assembly, but the mechanism of their synergy is controversial. Together these proteins promote the formation of actin meshes, which are conserved structures that regulate the ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

More Than DNA Methylation: Does Pleiotropy Drive the Complex Pattern of Evolution of Dnmt1?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 DNA methylation is an important chromatin modification that can stably alter gene expression in cells and maintain genome integrity in plants and vertebrates.

Resource Availability Modulates Gene Expression Across Life Stages in a Migratory Butterfly. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Natural populations are in constant need of balancing resource allocation to compensate for seasonal environmental variation. In many insects, a well‐established trade‐off between migration and reproduction exists. While this trade‐off has been characterised phenotypically for decades, the underlying regulatory pathways are poorly understood ...

The effect of salinity on transovarial transmission of a microsporidian infecting Gammarus duebeni [PDF]
, 1997 This is an investigation of the impact of salinity on transovarial transmission and burden of a microsporidian sex ratio distorter in the inter-tidal crustacean Gammarus duebeni.

Chronic Hypoxia Disrupts Spermatogenesis Through ASXL2–EZH2–Mediated Microtubule Destabilization
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals the mechanism by which chronic hypoxia impairs spermatogenesis via the ASXL2–EZH2 axis, hindering the transition of spermatids from round to elongated forms. Key findings reveal that under hypoxic conditions, downregulated ASXL2 expression reduces EZH2 binding to the CEP162 promoter, leading to decreased H3K27me3 modification and ...

Peptides in insect oogenesis [PDF]
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2019 The physiological control of reproduction in insects depends on a combination of environmental and internal cues. In the adult stage, insects become sexually mature and generate gametes. In females, the latter process is designated as oogenesis. Peptides are a versatile class of extracellular signalling molecules that regulate many processes, including

The Role of Diaphanous in Ring Canal Development in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2016 Infertility is a widespread condition that does not always have a known cause, and for which we often do not have a cure. One potential cause of infertility is defects in gametogenesis, or the formation of sperm and egg.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study suggests that prenatal aspirin exposure is associated with reduced ovarian reserve in offspring, associated with HDAC1‐linked epigenetic downregulation of Usp9x as a candidate mechanism. These preclinical findings provide new insights into fetal‐origin ovarian disorders and contribute to the evidence base concerning aspirin's gestational ...
