Taxonomic distinctness of climbing plants and epiphytes in central-Chilean forests: an alternative diversity measure from unequal species lists

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry
Protected wild areas aim to conserve biodiversity. However, a lack of monitoring limits the availability of biological information needed to achieve this goal.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Taxonomic distinctness of soft-bottoms mollusks from Gulf of Batabanó, Cuba

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2017
Taxonomic distinction is a measure of diversity that has a number of advantages that provides relevant connotation to theoretical and applied ecology. The usefulness of this type of measure as an alternative method for assessing the biodiversity of soft-bottom benthic marine ecosystems was tested using the indices of average taxonomic distinctness ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Environmental quality of a stream can be better predicted by phylogenetic than by taxonomic diversity

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2017
Different indices of taxonomic diversity (TD) and phylogenetic diversity (PD) of the macrobenthos were compared to determine the efficient predictors of environmental quality (EQ) in different types of watercourses in Poland. Archived data of 864 samples

Analysis of the variability of nine natural Anthyllis vulneraria s.l. populations

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015
It was established on the basis of examination of nine natural Anthyllis vulneraria populations from various geographical regions of Poland that the type of variability differs in the coastal, Wielkopolska lowland and Tatra populations.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Microplastic Categories Distinctively Impact Wastewater Bacterial Taxonomic Composition and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes

Microorganisms
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) may serve as hotspots for pathogens and promote antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Plastic debris in wastewater could further contribute to AMR dissemination. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of various microplastic types on bacterial communities and AMR gene abundance in wastewater that were obtained

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.
