A microsatellite polymorphism in the gamma interferon gene is associated with resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes in a naturally-parasitized population of Soay sheep

Pemberton, J. M., Coltman, D. W., Pilkington, J. G., Wilson, K., Stear, M. J.
Abstract: Free-living Soay sheep (Ovis aries) on the island of Hirta, St Kilda, Scotland, are naturally parasitized bq gastrointestinal nematodes, predominantly Teladorsagia circumcincta. In this paper we show that reduced faecal egg counts (FEC) are associated with an allele at a microsatellite...

Acid-base properties of cyanobacterial surfaces II: Silica as a chemical stressor influencing cell surface reactivity
Download2008
Owttrim, G.W., Lalonde, S.V., Smith, D.S., Konhauser, K.O.
Bacteria grow in complex solutions where the adsorption of aqueous species and nucleation of mineral phases on the cell surface may interfere with membrane-dependent homeostatic functions. While previous investigations have provided evidence that bacteria may alter their surface chemical...

Alternative Requirements for Vestigial, Scalloped, and Dmef2 during Muscle Differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster
Download2009
Bell, J. B., Deng, H., Simmonds, A. J., Hughes, S. C.
Abstract: Vertebrate development requires the activity of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 (mef2) gene family for muscle cell specification and subsequent differentiation. Additionally, several muscle-specific functions of MEF2 family proteins require binding additional cofactors including members...

Autoregulation of RNA helicase expression in response to temperature stress in Synechocystis spCC 6803
Download2012
Owttrim, George W., Chamot, Danuta, Rosana, Albert R. R.
RNA helicases are ubiquitous enzymes whose modification of RNA secondary structure is known to regulate RNA function. The pathways controlling RNA helicase expression, however, have not been well characterized. Expression of the cyanobacterial RNA helicase, crhR, is regulated in response to...

Disentangling detoxification: Gene expression analysis of feeding mountain pine beetle illuminates molecular-level host chemical defense detoxification mechanisms

Bohlmann, Jörg, Bonnett, Tiffany R., Pitt, Caitlin, Keeling, Christopher I., Yuen, Macaire M. S., Huber, Dezene P. W., Robert, Jeanne A.
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae, is a native species of bark beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) that caused unprecedented damage to the pine forests of British Columbia and other parts of western North America and is currently expanding its range into the boreal forests of...

Effect of age of the intermediate host Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera) on infection by Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda).
Download2008
A cross-sectional study of 27 cohorts of Tribolium confusum aged 2–78 wk was done to examine effects of host age on exposure to eggs of Hymenolepis diminuta under standardized conditions. Pre-exposure, fasting, and postexposure mortality were low, sex ratio was equal, and fecundity of hosts was...

Hilborn, Ray, Ford, Jennifer S., Peacock, Stephanie, Dill, Lawrence M., Morton, Alexandra, Krkosek, Martin, Connors, Brendan, Lewis, Mark A., Volpe, John P., Mages, Paul, Ford, Helen
For some salmon populations, the individual and population effects of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) transmission from sea cage salmon farms is probably mediated by predation, which is a primary natural source of mortality of juvenile salmon. We examined how sea lice infestation affects...

Functional genomics of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) midguts and fat bodies

Keeling, Christopher I., Bearfield, Jeremy C., Blomquist, Gary J., Schlauch, Karen, Tittiger, Claus, Young, Sharon, Aw, Tidiane
Background The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) is a significant coniferous forest pest in western North America. It relies on aggregation pheromones to colonize hosts. Its three major pheromone components, trans-verbenol, exo-brevicomin, and frontalin, are thought to arise via...

Gawky Is a Component of Cytoplasmic mRNA Processing Bodies Required for Early Drosophila Development
Download2006
Hobman, T. C., Locker, J., Schneider, M. D., Pare, J. M., Haskins, J., Simmonds, A. J., Chaker, S., Najand, N
In mammalian cells, the GW182 protein localizes to cytoplasmic bodies implicated in the regulation of messenger RNA ( mRNA) stability, translation, and the RNA interference pathway. Many of these functions have also been assigned to analogous yeast cytoplasmic mRNA processing bodies. We have...
