A genome-wide survey of highly expressed non-coding RNAs and biological validation of selected candidates in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. [PDF]
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogen that has the natural ability of delivering and integrating a piece of its own DNA into plant genome. Although bacterial non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been shown to regulate various biological processes ...

Abstract Marine cone snails produce a diverse array of bioactive peptides, known as conotoxins, in their venom. Given their high target potency and specificity, conotoxins are attractive compounds for the development of precision research tools and pharmacological agents.

Thermosensors in eubacteria: role and evolution
Temperature is an important physical stress factor sensed by bacteria and used to regulate gene expression. Three different macromolecules have been identified being able to sense temperature: DNA, mRNA and proteins. Depending on the induction mechanism, two different pathways have to be distinguished, namely the heat shock response and the high ...

Background Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in the Americas, currently transmitting it in Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. Many T. infestans populations present insecticide resistance, reducing the efficiency of control campaigns.

ABSTRACT Aim Ocean warming and marine heatwaves are threatening the persistence of kelp forests, but cooler, deeper reefs might act as refuges from which shallow populations can recover. This study aimed to assess the genetic connectivity, diversity, and adaptive structure of deep kelp reefs to evaluate their potential as climate refuges.

Abstract figure legend A, schematic illustration of the ventral aspect of an ex vivo preparation of the entire CNS from a neonatal rat subjected to a calibrated thoracic impact. The trauma induced a large depolarising injury potential (DIP, black trace) recorded from the L5 ventral root (VRrL5), which was markedly reduced by transient receptor ...

Structural plasticity and catalysis regulation of a thermosensor histidine kinase [PDF]
Temperature sensing is essential for the survival of living cells. A major challenge is to understand how a biological thermometer processes thermal information to optimize cellular functions. Using structural and biochemical approaches, we show that the thermosensitive histidine kinase, DesK, from Bacillus ...

ABSTRACT Global environmental change affects organisms, including their physiology. In freshwater ecosystems, where migration is limited, populations often rely on phenotypic plasticity to respond. While transcriptomics has been widely used to study stress responses at the molecular level, less is known about the proteome, which reflects post ...

Retinal metabolic changes were analyzed using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS), marking an initial application of this non‐invasive method on living eyes. Key metabolites were identified within the retinal region of adult rats. The observed changes following intense blue light exposure were predominantly attributable to the retina, as it

Structure and Function of the Escherichia coli Thermosensors.
Thermotaxis in Escherichia coli as a model system for studying thermosensing mechanisms. All the components involved in the signal transduction circuit have been indentified. Thermosensors are the transmembrane proteins that were originally indentified as chemoreceptors. They regulate the activity of the cytoplasmic histidine kinase CheA.
