Echolocation is a sensory system whereby certain mammals navigate and forage using sound waves, usually in environments where visibility limited. Curiously, echolocation has evolved independently bats whales, which occupy entirely different environments. Based on this phenotypic convergence, recent studies identified several echolocation-related genes with parallel sites at the protein sequence level among echolocating mammals, these, prestin seems most promising. Although previous analyzed...
New echolocator Echolocation is a well demonstrated convergent sensory mode in bats and toothed whales. These lineages are not closely related, this sense might be more broadly distributed than we recognize. Using suite of approaches, He et al. show that the lineage soft-furred tree mice (genus Typhlomys ) includes multiple echolocators. Clear evidence behavioral use echolocation under fully dark conditions was supported by convergence ear bone morphology hearing-related genes with other...
Zizania latifolia is the second aquatic vegetable in China. The circular valorization of its waste bracts remains ongoing concern. In this work, cellulase‐microwave‐assisted extraction (CMAE) polysaccharides from Z. (PWZLBs) was explored. Seven parameters were selected via single‐factor test, which three significant screened out using Plackett‐Burman design, followed by response surface methodology optimization. optimal CMAE for PWZLBs were: cellulase addition 0.5%, microwave time 7 min, and...
Molecular evolutionary and experimental analyses reject the hypothesis of high-frequency hearing in archaeocetes.
The evolutionary outcomes of high elevation adaptation have been extensively described. However, whether widely distributed endemic animals adopt uniform mechanisms during to different elevational environments remains unknown, especially with respect extreme environments. To explore this, we analysed the phenotypic and genomic data seven populations plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) along elevations ranging from 2,700 4,300 m. Based on whole-genome sequencing demographic reconstruction...
The physicochemical, structural, and functional properties of albumin, globulin, glutelin, protein isolate (JSPI) extracted from jackfruit seeds were investigated. Protein fractions JSPI rich in amino acids, which can be comparable to soy protein. Other essential acids except histidine met the FAO/WHO/UNO-recommended intake for infants adults. Jackfruit seed proteins mainly composed 17-26 kDa polypeptides, β-sheet, random coil main secondary structures. Glutelin (572.55) (246.14) have higher...
A mouse model termed Cpr-low (CL) was recently generated, in which the expression of cytochrome P450 reductase (<i>Cpr</i>) gene globally down-regulated. The decreased CPR accompanied by phenotypical changes, including reduced embryonic survival, decreases circulating cholesterol, increases hepatic expression, and female infertility (accompanied elevated serum testosterone progesterone levels). In present study, a complementary [named reversible-CL (r-CL)] can be reversed an organ-specific...
Background and purpose The expanded repeat length in ATXN 1 negatively correlates with age at onset ( AAO ) of spinocerebellar ataxia type SCA 1) but can explain only part it, indicating that other factors affect . Some studies have explored the influence non‐causative CAG repeats on patients. However, Chinese patients regarding candidate modifier involved variability are rare. Methods In all, 152 who were genotyped for nine n ‐containing genes enrolled. Regression analysis was performed to...
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a complex and multifactorial neurodegenerative disease, its pathogenesis remains uncertain. Patients with MSA or spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) show overlapping clinical phenotypes. Previous studies have reported that intermediate long CAG expansions in SCA genes been associated other disease. In this study, we screened for the number of repeats ATXN1, 2 3 200 patients 314 healthy controls to evaluate possible associations between (CAG)n these three...
The laryngeal echolocation is regarded as one of the conspicuous traits that play major roles in flourishing bats. Whether bats originated once, however, still controversial. We here address this question by performing molecular convergence analyses between ancestral branches and toothed whales. Compared with controls, convergences were enriched hearing-related genes for last common ancestor (LCAB) extant echolocating bats, but not LCA Old World fruit (LCAP). And convergent hearing gene...
Abstract Bitter taste receptors serve as a vital component in the defense system against toxin intake by animals, and family of genes encoding these has been demonstrated, usually size variance, to correlate with dietary preference. However, few systematic studies specific Tas2R unveil their functional evolution have conducted. Here, we surveyed Tas2R16 across all major clades primates reported rare case convergent change increase sensitivity β-glucopyranosides human New World monkey,...
