Highlights NMR can provide information on the nucleic acids‘ structure, dynamics, and interactions in living cells We overview strategies to acquire and present in-cell NMR data on nucleic acids We provide ‘behind-the-scene’ information vital to comprehending the data meaning Abstract … Read More
Highlights: The study examines H. bacteriophora recovery to active parasitism upon host contact. Host and non-biological stimuli trigger recovery and release of secreted proteins. Secretomes of nematodes responding to various activation materials were identified. Insect materials induce the release of proteins key … Read More
Abstract: Intensive agricultural practices impact the health and nutrition of pollinators like honey bees (Apis mellifera). Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is widely cultivated, providing diverse nutrients and phytochemicals, including S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (SMCSO). While the nutritional impact of rapeseed on bees … Read More
Abstract Actomyosin contractility represents an ancient feature of eukaryotic cells participating in many developmental and homeostasis events, including tissue morphogenesis, muscle contraction and cell migration, with dysregulation implicated in various pathological conditions, such as cancer. At the molecular level, actomyosin … Read More
Our data demonstrate increased antimicrobial activity at transcriptional and functional levels in summer and winter workers after injection, with a stronger immune response in winter bees. On the other hand, an increase in hemocyte concentration was observed only in the … Read More
Abstract Polyglutamylation is a reversible posttranslational modification that is catalyzed by enzymes of the tubulin tyrosine ligase-like (TTLL) family. Here, we found that TTLL11 generates a previously unknown type of polyglutamylation that is initiated by the addition of a glutamate … Read More
This study introduces a novel cost-effective technique for cloning of linear DNA plasmid inserts, aiming to address the associated expenses linked with popular in vitro DNA assembly methods. Specifically, we introduce ECOLI (Efficient Cloning Of Linear Inserts), a method utilizing … Read More
Findings This study utilized micro–computed tomography (micro-CT), a noninvasive 3-dimensional (3D) imaging technique with micrometer-scale resolution, to explore the developmental dynamics and morphological changes in Xenopus laevis. Our approach involved generating high-resolution images and computed 3D models of developing Xenopus … Read More
Introduction: The fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus can induce prolonged colonization of the lungs of susceptible patients, resulting in conditions such as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. Hypothesis: Analysis of the A. fumigatus secretome released during sub-lethal infection of … Read More
The coexistence of sexual and asexual lineages is rarely documented in vertebrates. Various ecological and evolutionary mechanisms have been proposed to explain their stable coexistence. Gibel carp (Carassius gibelio), a highly invasive freshwater fish in Europe, is one such example … Read More
