A SH3b domain-containing peptidoglycan recognition protein from Magallana gigas with broad recognition spectrum by Yinan Li, Hongbo Lu, Chuanyan Yang, Zhuyun Liu, Weilin Wang, Chang Liu, Lingling Wang

“…Peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) is a kind of conserved pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and plays important roles in innate immune response in both invertebrates and vertebrates. In the present study, nine MgPGRP genes were identified in the updated genome of Magallana gigas, and the cDNA of MgPGRP5 which was consisted of a SH3b and a PGRP domain was cloned. …”

Evolution of human genes encoding cell surface receptors involved in the regulation of appetite: an analysis based on the phylostratigraphic age and divergence indexes by E. V. Ignatieva, S. A. Lashin, Z. S. Mustafin, N. A. Kolchanov

“…It turned out that the set of genes under consideration contains an increased number of genes with the same phylostratigraphic age (PAI = 5, the stage of vertebrate divergence), and almost all of these genes (28 out  of 31) belong to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors. …”

Flexible reproductive seasonality in Africa-dwelling papionins is associated with low environmental productivity and high climatic unpredictability by Dezeure, Jules, Dagorrette, Julie, Burtschell, Lugdiwine, Chowdhury, Shahrina, Lukas, Dieter, Swedell, Larissa, Huchard, Elise

“…At a time when seasonal cycles are increasingly disrupted, the ecology and evolution of reproductive seasonality in tropical vertebrates remains poorly understood. In order to predict how changes in seasonality might affect these animals, it is important to understand which aspects of their diverse patterns of reproductive phenology are linked to either the equally diverse patterns of rainfall seasonality (within-year variations) or instead the marked climatic unpredictability (year-to-year variations) occurring across the intertropical belt. …”

The association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor 3 with susceptibility/resistance of Magallana gigas to Halomonas sp. 7T by Hongmei Fan, Qingyu Peng, Tianbao Liu, Lei Fang, Chuanyan Yang, Ning Kong, Lingling Wang, Linsheng Song

“…MgTNF-3 was constituted of a typical TNF domain and a transmembrane region, and shared low sequence identity and similarity with the TNF superfamily members from vertebrates and other invertebrates. The MgTNF-3 mRNA was constitutively expressed in haemocytes and all the examined tissues with the highest expression level in adductor muscle, and was significantly induced by lipopolysaccharide stimulation. …”
