The capping arms race: evolutionary interplay between IFIT proteins and viral molecular mimicryNARA Subscribed
Effective host survival during viral infection depends on the ability to discriminate endogenous messenger RNA from pathogenic RNA species. Interferon-induced proteins with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFITs) constitute a central component of this defence system, functioning as specialised cytosolic RNA surveillance proteins that detect molecular features characteristic of non-self transcripts. This review examines the dynamic e...
Functional Equivalence and Conserved Sexual Dimorphism in the Gut Microbiome: A Cross-Species Meta-analysisNARA Subscribed
The murine model is a standard system in translational microbiome research, yet its functional equivalence to the human microbiome remains debated. To evaluate its translational validity, we conducted a comparative whole-genome shotgun (WGS) metagenomic meta-analysis, integrating an initial retrieval of 520 datasets from 5 independent cohorts (BioProjects) across Homo sapiens ( n = 202), Mus musculus ( n = 75), and Drosophila...
Crosstalk between vault RNAs and innate immunityNARA Subscribed
Purpose Vault (vt) RNAs are noncoding (nc) RNAs transcribed by RNA polymerase III (RNA Pol III) with 5ʹ-triphosphate (5ʹ-PPP) termini that play significant roles and are recognized by innate immune sensors, including retinoic acid-inducible protein 1 (RIG-I). In addition, vtRNAs adopt secondary structures that can be targets of interferon-inducible protein kinase R (PKR) and the oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)/RNase L system,...
A global analysis of field body temperatures of active squamates in relation to climate and behaviourNARA Subscribed
Aim Squamate fitness is affected by body temperature, which in turn is influenced by environmental temperatures and, in many species, by exposure to solar radiation. The biophysical drivers of body temperature have been widely studied, but we lack an integrative synthesis of actual body temperatures experienced in the field, and their relationships to environmental temperatures, across phylogeny, behaviour and climate. Locatio...
AMAZONIA CAMTRAP: A data set of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forestNARA Subscribed
The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer‐reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time and space. In this study, we organized and standardized camera trap records from dif...
