Defining genetic diversity of rhesus macaque Fcγ receptors with long-read RNA sequencing

Frontiers in Immunology
Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) are membrane-bound glycoproteins that bind to the fragment crystallizable (Fc) constant regions of IgG antibodies. Interactions between IgG immune complexes and FcγRs can initiate signal transduction that mediates important ...

Advances and challenges in experimental models for Epstein–Barr virus research

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), the first identified human oncovirus, is a ubiquitous γ‐herpesvirus etiologically linked to diverse malignancies, lymphoproliferative disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Experimental models are pivotal for unraveling the infection and pathogenesis mechanisms, life cycle regulation, as well as development and ...

Proteasomal degradation of TRIM5alpha during retrovirus restriction. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2008
The host protein TRIM5alpha inhibits retroviral infection at an early post-penetration stage by targeting the incoming viral capsid. While the detailed mechanism of restriction remains unclear, recent studies have implicated the activity of cellular ...

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

An update of the macaque testis proteome

Data in Brief, 2015
The genome sequence of rhesus macaque is a draft version with many errors and is lack of Y chromosome annotation. In the present dataset, we reanalyzed the previously published macaque testis proteome. We searched for refined protein sequences, potential

Red blood cell metabolism in Rhesus macaques and humans: comparative biology of blood storage

Haematologica, 2020
Macaques are emerging as a critical animal model in transfusion medicine, because of their evolutionary similarity to humans and perceived utility in discovery and translational science. However, little is known about the metabolism of Rhesus macaque red

Joint modeling of multiple social networks to elucidate primate social dynamics: I. maximum entropy principle and network-based interactions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In a complex behavioral system, such as an animal society, the dynamics of the system as a whole represent the synergistic interaction among multiple aspects of the society.

Role of defensins in immunothrombosis

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Defensins are important proteins that link the immune system and blood clotting, playing a key role in immunothrombosis. α‐defensins mainly come from neutrophils, while β‐defensins are produced by epithelial cells and platelets. These proteins help form blood clots in several ways: they slow down clot breakdown (fibrinolysis), activate platelets, and ...

Comparative pathology of rhesus macaque and common marmoset animal models with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), which is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (CoV), has recently emerged. It causes severe viral pneumonia and is associated with a high fatality rate.
