Taming of the shrewd: novel eukaryotic genes from RNA viruses

Abstract Genomes of several yeast species contain integrated DNA copies of complete genomes or individual genes of non-retroviral double-strand RNA viruses as reported in a recent BMC Biology article by Taylor and Bruenn.The integrated virus-specific sequences are at Little Girls Woven Pants least partially expressed and seem to evolve under pressu

Capitalism and inequality

Abstract According to the prevailing opinion, capitalism is a market economy governed by immutable laws and inequality is the result of competition between free and equal individuals on that market.This paper argues that capitalism, as developed in Western Europe in modern times, has more in common with organized crime than with a system of natural

Aquaculture of emerging species in North-Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea: a systematic review on sea cucumber farming and potential development

Sea cucumbers are considered a traditional food delicacy in Asian countries.In last decades high market demand, uncontrolled exploitation and inadequate management have led to stock overexploitation, driving commercial interest in new target species and new areas.In recent years, Mediterranean and North-East Atlantic sea cucumbers have become fishi

Biogeographic Patterns in Members of Globally Distributed and Dominant Taxa Found in Port Microbial Communities

ABSTRACT We conducted a global Organization characterization of the microbial communities of shipping ports to serve as a novel system to investigate microbial biogeography.The community structures of port microbes from marine and freshwater habitats house relatively similar phyla, despite spanning large spatial scales.As part of this project, we c

E3 ubiquitin ligase MARCH5 positively regulates Japanese encephalitis virus infection by catalyzing the K27-linked polyubiquitination of viral E protein and inhibiting MAVS-mediated type I interferon production

ABSTRACT Membrane-associated RING-CH-type finger (MARCH) proteins, a class of E3 ubiquitin ligases, have been reported to be involved in the infection of multiple viruses and the regulation of type I interferon (IFN) production.However, the specific role and mechanisms by which MARCH proteins influence Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection re
