The involvement of chemosensory proteins (CSPs) in binding to insecticides has been implicated. However, our understanding CSP-mediated insecticide resistance remains limited. Herein, 15 CSP genes were identified and characterized from Nilaparvata lugens. Expression analysis six CSPs with overexpression the imidacloprid-resistant strain, whose imidacloprid was validated by RNA interference. Among them, four successfully expressed using a prokaryotic expression system, their affinities...
Abstract Hybrid incompatibility can lead to lethality and sterility of F1 hybrids, contributing speciation. Here we found that female hybrids between Mus musculus domesticus spicilegus mice are sterile due the failure homologous chromosome separation in oocyte meiosis I, producing aneuploid eggs. This non-separation phenotype was driven by mis- localization cohesin protector, SGO2, along arms instead its typical centromeric enrichment, resulting over-protection. The upstream kinase, BUB1,...
Cardiac remodeling in response to disease or tissue damage severely impairs heart function. Therefore, the description of molecular mechanisms responsible is essential for development effective therapies. Trbp (Tarbp2) a multifunctional RNA-binding protein that during development, but its role adult and cardiac remains unknown. We generated inducible conditional knockout mice delete from cardiomyocytes young adults (Trbp-cKOs). While Trbp-cKO did not display detectable phenotype, under...
ABSTRACT The intricate mechanisms driving oocyte maturation remain only partially understood, especially within the domains of domestic animal reproduction and translational medicine. In case prepubertal girls, clinical challenge is pronounced, as ovarian tissue cryopreservation‐though promising‐remains an experimental technique necessitating rigorous scientific validation to guarantee developmental potential preserved materials facilitate broader adoption. To address these knowledge gaps,...
