The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Phenotyping for drought [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Water shortage is an important limiting abiotic factor in agriculture, and the problem is expected to increase with climate change causing more frequent and more severe droughts in many areas. Banana needs vast amounts of water for optimal production. In

The role of the Cucumber mosaic virus 2b protein in viral movement and symptom induction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b protein is a counter-defense factor and symptom determinant. Conserved domains in the 2b protein sequence were mutated in the 2b gene of strain Fny-CMV.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Land abandonment and changes in snow cover period accelerate range expansions of sika deer

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2016
Ongoing climate change and land‐use change have the potential to substantially alter the distribution of large herbivores. This may result in drastic changes in ecosystems by changing plant–herbivore interactions.

Metabolic insights of lactic acid bacteria in reducing off‐flavors and antinutrients in plant‐based fermented dairy alternatives

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety
Multiple sensorial, technological, and nutritional challenges must be overcome when developing plant‐based fermented dairy alternatives (PBFDA) to mimic their dairy counterparts.

Scientific Opinion addressing the state of the science on risk assessment of plant protection products for non-target arthropods.

open access: yes, 2015
Following a request from the European Food Safety Authority, the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues developed an opinion on the science to support the development of a risk assessment scheme of plant protection products for non-target ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Stridulatory Organs and Sound Recognition of Three Species of Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

open access: yesInsects
Sound is an important medium of communication among insects. Some longhorn beetles produce sounds during their daily activities, and these sounds play a role in courtship, predation, and defense.

Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of glucosinolates in cruciferous plants during their life cycles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Glucosinolates produced by Brassica species were investigated in relation to biofumigation, a term used to describe the effects some allelochemicals, including glucosinolate derived products, may have on soil-borne pathogens or other herbivores.
