    Dusp1 regulates thermal tolerance limits in zebrafish by maintaining mitochondrial integrity

    Towards magnetism in pigeon MagR:Iron-and iron-sulfur binding work indispensably and synergistically

    Unraveling the macroevolution of horseshoe bats(Chiroptera:Rhinolophidae:Rhinolophus)

    查看更多>>摘要:Unraveling the diversification mechanisms of organisms is a fundamental and important macroevolutionary question regarding the diversity,ecological niche,and morphological divergence of life.However,many studies have only explored diversification mechanisms via isolated factors.Here,based on comparative phylogenetic analysis,we performed a macroevolutionary examination of horseshoe bats(Chiroptera:Rhinolophidae:Rhinolophus),to reveal the inter-relationships among diversification,intrinsic/extrinsic factors,and climatic ecological niche characteristics.Results showed a general slowing trajectory during diversification,with two dispersal events from Asia into Southeast Asia and Africa playing key roles in shaping regional heterogeneous diversity.Morphospace expansions of the investigated traits(e.g.,body size,echolocation,and climate niche)revealed a decoupled pattern between diversification trajectory and trait divergence,suggesting that other factors(e.g.,biotic interactions)potentially played a key role in recent diversification.Based on ancestral traits and pathway analyses,most Rhinolophus lineages belonging to the same region overlapped with each other geographically and were positively associated with the diversification rate,implying a competitive prelude to speciation.Overall,our study showed that multiple approaches need to be integrated to address diversification history.Rather than a single factor,the joint effects of multiple factors(biogeography,environmental drivers,and competition)are responsible for the current diversity patterns in horseshoe bats,and a corresponding multifaceted strategy is recommended to study these patterns in the future.

    Current understanding of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway:Structure,regulatory mechanisms,and related diseases

    查看更多>>摘要:The innate immune system protects the host from external pathogens and internal damage in various ways.The cGAS-STING signaling pathway,comprised of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase(cGAS),stimulator of interferon genes(STING),and downstream signaling adaptors,plays an essential role in protective immune defense against microbial DNA and internal damaged-associated DNA and is responsible for various immune-related diseases.After binding with DNA,cytosolic cGAS undergoes conformational change and DNA-linked liquid-liquid phase separation to produce 2'3'-cGAMP for the activation of endoplasmic reticulum(ER)-localized STING.However,further studies revealed that cGAS is predominantly expressed in the nucleus and strictly tethered to chromatin to prevent binding with nuclear DNA,and functions differently from cytosolic-localized cGAS.Detailed delineation of this pathway,including its structure,signaling,and regulatory mechanisms,is of great significance to fully understand the diversity of cGAS-STING activation and signaling and will be of benefit for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and cancer.Here,we review recent progress on the above-mentioned perspectives of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and discuss new avenues for further study.
