DAF-16/FOXO promotes taste avoidance learning independently of axonal insulin-like signaling

Plos.org 

by Takashi Nagashima, Yuichi Iino, Masahiro Tomioka

The avoidance of starvation is critical for the survival of most organisms, thus animals change behavior based on past nutritional conditions. Insulin signaling is important for nutritional state-dependent behavioral plasticity, yet the underlying regulatory mechanism at the cellular level remains unclear. Previous studies showed that insulin-like signaling is required for taste avoidance learning, in which the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans... Читать дальше...

Assessment of the cardiovascular adverse effects of drug-drug interactions through a combined analysis of spontaneous reports and predicted drug-target interactions

Plos.org 

by Sergey Ivanov, Alexey Lagunin, Dmitry Filimonov, Vladimir Poroikov

Adverse drug effects (ADEs) are one of the leading causes of death in developed countries and are the main reason for drug recalls from the market, whereas the ADEs that are associated with action on the cardiovascular system are the most dangerous and widespread. The treatment of human diseases often requires the intake of several drugs, which can lead to undesirable drug-drug interactions (DDIs), thus causing an increase in the frequency and severity of ADEs.

Recombinant vector vaccine evolution

Plos.org 

by James J. Bull, Scott L. Nuismer, Rustom Antia

Replicating recombinant vector vaccines consist of a fully competent viral vector backbone engineered to express an antigen from a foreign transgene. From the perspective of viral replication, the transgene is not only dispensable but may even be detrimental. Thus vaccine revertants that delete or inactivate the transgene may evolve to dominate the vaccine virus population both during the process of manufacture of the vaccine as well as during the course of host infection.

Propagation of orientation selectivity in a spiking network model of layered primary visual cortex

Plos.org 

by Benjamin Merkt, Friedrich Schüßler, Stefan Rotter

Neurons in different layers of sensory cortex generally have different functional properties. But what determines firing rates and tuning properties of neurons in different layers? Orientation selectivity in primary visual cortex (V1) is an interesting case to study these questions. Thalamic projections essentially determine the preferred orientation of neurons that receive direct input. But how is this tuning propagated though layers,... Читать дальше...

Assessing key decisions for transcriptomic data integration in biochemical networks

Plos.org 

by Anne Richelle, Chintan Joshi, Nathan E. Lewis

To gain insights into complex biological processes, genome-scale data (e.g., RNA-Seq) are often overlaid on biochemical networks. However, many networks do not have a one-to-one relationship between genes and network edges, due to the existence of isozymes and protein complexes. Therefore, decisions must be made on how to overlay data onto networks. For example, for metabolic networks, these decisions include (1) how to integrate gene expression levels using gene-protein-reaction rules... Читать дальше...



Primacy coding facilitates effective odor discrimination when receptor sensitivities are tuned

Plos.org 

by David Zwicker

The olfactory system faces the difficult task of identifying an enormous variety of odors independent of their intensity. Primacy coding, where the odor identity is encoded by the receptor types that respond earliest, might provide a compact and informative representation that can be interpreted efficiently by the brain. In this paper, we analyze the information transmitted by a simple model of primacy coding using numerical simulations and statistical descriptions. We show... Читать дальше...

β-Methylamino-L-alanine substitution of serine in SOD1 suggests a direct role in ALS etiology

Plos.org 

by Elizabeth A. Proctor, David D. Mowrey, Nikolay V. Dokholyan

Exposure to the environmental toxin β-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) is linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but its disease-promoting mechanism remains unknown. We propose that incorporation of BMAA into the ALS-linked protein Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) upon translation promotes protein misfolding and aggregation, which has been linked to ALS onset and progression. Using molecular simulation and predictive energetic computation... Читать дальше...

Diversification of the type IV filament superfamily into machines for adhesion, protein secretion, DNA uptake, and motility

Plos.org 

by Rémi Denise, Sophie S. Abby, Eduardo P. C. Rocha

Processes of molecular innovation require tinkering and shifting in the function of existing genes. How this occurs in terms of molecular evolution at long evolutionary scales remains poorly understood. Here, we analyse the natural history of a vast group of membrane-associated molecular systems in Bacteria and Archaea—the type IV filament (TFF) superfamily—that diversified in systems involved in flagellar or twitching motility, adhesion, protein secretion, and DNA uptake.
