A horizontally transferred bacterial gene for pantothenic acid biosynthesis regulates diapause and reproduction in the spider mite Amphitetranychus viennensis

Insect Science, EarlyView.
A bacterial‐derived AvPBL gene encoding a pantothenate‐β‐alanine ligase was identified in Amphitetranychus viennensis. RNAi silencing of AvPBL reduced pantothenic acid production, impairing reproduction and diapause induction, while pantothenic acid supplementation rescued these phenotypes.

Effect of Salinity Stress on Gut–Brain–Gonad Axis in the Red‐Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The increase in salinity leads to changes in the gut microbiota and metabolites of Trachemys scripta elegans, affecting the synthesis and secretion of neurotransmitters or precursors, which can inhibit the secretion of reproductive hormones and affect the self‐renewal and differentiation process of spermatogonial stem cells.

Genetic defect of the sodium‐dependent multivitamin transporter: A treatable disease, mimicking biotinidase deficiency

JIMD Reports, 2019
The sodium‐dependent multivitamin transporter that facilitates the uptake of the water‐soluble vitamins biotin, pantothenic acid, and the vitamin‐like substance lipoate is coded by the SLC5A6 gene. Variants in this gene cause a relatively novel treatable
