Mucuna pruriens (Velvet bean) Rescues Motor, Olfactory, Mitochondrial and Synaptic Impairment in PINK1(B9) Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Model of Parkinson's Disease [PDF]
, 2014 The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (Dm) mutant for PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1B9) gene is a powerful tool to investigate physiopathology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Using PINK1B9 mutant Dm we sought to explore the effects of Mucuna pruriens

Spirotetramat reduces fitness of the spotted‐wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 1222-1230, August 2024.Oral take up of spirotetramat by Drosophila suzukii females inhibits the activity of acetyl‐CoA decarboxylase (ACC) that is needed for fecundity and desiccation resitance. Abstract With climate change, the spotted‐wing Drosophila (SWD, Drosophila suzukii) invades a great number of fruit production regions worldwide. A plethora of insecticides are being

A plant natriuretic peptide-like molecule of the pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri causes rapid changes in the proteome of its citrus host [PDF]
, 2010 Background Plant natriuretic peptides (PNPs) belong to a novel class of peptidic signaling molecules that share some structural similarity to the N-terminal domain of expansins and affect physiological processes such as water and ion homeostasis at nano ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 6, June 2024.Abstract Aim Species responses to global warming will depend on intraspecific diversity, yet studies of factors governing biogeographic patterns of variability are scarce. Here, we investigate the evolutionary processes underlying genetic and phenotypic diversity in the flightless and cold‐adapted grasshopper Sigaus piliferus, and project its suitable ...

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Bacterial and mammalian cells are rich in putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. Polyamines are required for optimum fitness, but the biological function of these small aliphatic compounds has only been partially revealed. Known functions of polyamines include interaction with nucleic acids that alters gene expression and with proteins that modulate ...

The molecular basis for apolipoprotein E4 as the major risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
, 2019 Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is one of three (E2, E3 and E4) human isoforms of an -helical, 299-amino acid protein. Homozygosity for the ε4 allele is the major risk factor for developing late onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
