Transcriptomic prey-capture responses in convergently evolved carnivorous pitcher plants. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary The Australian pitcher plant Cephalotus and the Asian pitcher plant Nepenthes exhibit striking morphological and functional similarities, serving as compelling examples of convergent evolution. Although trapping pitchers in both lineages represent some of the most elaborate leaf structures in angiosperms, it remains unknown whether their ...

Finding Species-Specific Extracellular Surface-Facing Proteomes in Toxic Dinoflagellates
Toxins, 2021 As a sequel to our previous report of the existence of species-specific protein/peptide expression profiles (PEPs) acquired by mass spectrometry in some dinoflagellates, we established, with the help of a plasma-membrane-impermeable labeling agent, a ...

An Integrative Bioinformatic Analysis for Keratinase Detection in Marine-Derived Streptomyces
Marine Drugs, 2021 Keratinases present promising biotechnological applications, due to their ability to degrade keratin. Streptomyces appears as one of the main sources of these enzymes, but complete genome sequences of keratinolytic bacteria are still limited.

A gene expression comparison of Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma congolense in the bloodstream of the mammalian host reveals species-specific adaptations to density-dependent development. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 In the bloodstream of mammalian hosts Trypanosoma brucei undergoes well-characterised density-dependent growth control and developmental adaptation for transmission. This involves the differentiation from proliferative, morphologically 'slender' forms to

Phylogenetic analyses for orthogroup-based classification of GDSL-type esterase/lipase (GELP) family in angiosperm representative species [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractGDSL-type esterase/lipase (GELP) enzymes have multiple functions in plants, spanning from developmental processes to the response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Genes encoding GELP belong to a large gene family with several tens to more than hundred members per angiosperm species.Here, we applied iterative phylogenetic analyses to identify 10 ...
