Abstract

The Antarctic fishes, isolated over evolutionary history in the sub-zero waters of the Southern Ocean, are an ideal group for studying the processes of cold adaptation. One species of Antarctic notothenioid fish, Trematomus bernacchii, has lost the ability to induce heat shock proteins (Hsps) in response to exposure to acute thermal stress or to the toxic heavy metal cadmium, an important part of the cellular defense response to such stressors. To elucidate the mechanism responsible for the lack of Hsp induction, we examined several stages of the hsp gene expression pathway, including transcription factor activity, Hsp70 mRNA production and protein synthesis patterns, in hepatocytes from T. bernacchii. Hsp70 mRNA was detected, as was heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) with DNA-binding activity. However, exposure to elevated temperature and to chemical inducers of the heat shock response failed to increase Hsp70 mRNA levels, HSF1 activity or the concentration of any size class of Hsps. These results suggest that Hsps, inducible in nearly every other species, are expressed constitutively in the cold-adapted T. bernacchii.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
