Significance Zinc is essential for animal life, and zinc levels are carefully regulated by homeostatic mechanisms. In the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans , HIZR-1 nuclear receptor directly binds mediates high homeostasis regulating transcription. Cadmium structurally similar to but a prevalent environmental toxin. Here, we explore how animals respond these metals. The results suggest that cadmium hijacks response binding activating HIZR-1. This an example of functioning as ligand...

Short bowel syndrome (SBS) leads to severe morbidity and mortality. Intestinal adaptation is crucial in improving outcomes. To understand the human gene pathways associated with adaptation, we perform single-cell transcriptomic analysis of small intestinal organoids explanted from mice experimental SBS. We show that transmembrane ion pathways, specifically transepithelial zinc transport pathway genes SLC39A4 SLC39A5, are upregulated This discovery corroborated by an external dataset, bulk...
