Multiomics Analyses Provide New Insight into Genetic Variation of Reproductive Adaptability in Tibetan Sheep
Mol Biol Evol. 2024 Mar 1;41(3):msae058. doi: 10.1093/molbev/msae058.ABSTRACTDomestication and artificial selection during production-oriented breeding have greatly shaped the level of genomic variability in sheep. However, the genetic variation associated with increased reproduction remains elusive. Here, two groups of samples from consecutively monotocous and polytocous sheep were collected for genome-wide association, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses to explore the genetic variation in fecundity in Tibetan sheep. Genome-wide association study revealed strong associations between BMPR1B (p.Q249R) and l...

Interaction of 3,9-disubstituted acridine with single stranded poly(rA), double stranded poly(rAU) and triple stranded poly(rUAU): molecular docking - A spectroscopic tandem study
Chem Biol Interact. 2024 Mar 27:110965. doi: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.110965. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRNA plays an important role in many biological processes which are crucial for cell survival, and it has been suggested that it may be possible to inhibit individual processes involved in many diseases by targeting specific sequences of RNA. The aim of this work is to determine the affinity of novel 3,9-disubstited acridine derivative 1 with three different RNA molecules, namely single stranded poly(rA), double stranded homopolymer poly(rAU) and triple stranded poly(rUAU). The results of the absorption titration assays sho...

Identification of immunity-related genes distinctly regulated by Manduca sexta Sp ӓtzle-1/2 and Escherichia coli peptidoglycan
In this study, we produced M. sexta proSpätzle-1 and proSpätzle-2 in Sf9 cells, identified their processing enzymes, and used prophenoloxidase activating protease-3 to activate the cytokine precursors. After Spätzle-1 and -2 were isolated from the reaction mixtures, we separately injected the purified cytokines into larval hemocoel to induce gene transcription in fat body through the Toll pathway solely. On the other hand, we treated a M. sexta cell line with E. coli DAP-PG to only induce the Imd pathway and target gene expression. RNA-Seq analysis of the fat body and cultured cells collected at 0, 6, and 24 h after tre...
