摘要:The accumulation of RNA Polymerase III (Pol III) transcribed short interspersed nuclear element (SINE) retrotransposon RNA is a hallmark of various cellular stressors, including DNA virus infection. However, the molecular mechanisms driving the induction of these normally repressed loci are largely undefined. Here, we reveal that in addition to Pol III transcriptional induction, gammaherpesvirus infection stimulates mRNA-like 3 ' end processing of SINE RNAs that leads to their stabilization. W...

摘要:Goal-directed motor performance relies on the brain's ability to distinguish between actions that lead to successful and unsuccessful outcomes. The basal ganglia (BG) and cerebellum (CBL) are integral for processing performance outcomes, yet their functional interactions remain underexplored. We scanned participants' brains with functional magnetic imaging (fMRI) while they performed a skilled motor task for monetary rewards, where outcomes depended on their motor performance and probabilistic...

摘要:Transcription factors and histone modification-mediated chromatin accessibility coordinately regulate spatiotemporal expression of genes that control growth and development. It is well documented that juvenile hormone-activated Kr-h1 antagonizes 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E)-induced expression of the pupal specifier BR-C to sustain larval status in holometabolous insects. Here, we revealed that during the larval-prepupal transition in Drosophila melanogaster, the 20E-activated Kr-h1-BR-C axis is a ...

摘要:Conjugation accelerates bacterial evolution by enabling bacteria to acquire genes horizontally from their neighbors. Plasmid donors must physically encounter and connect with recipients to allow plasmid transfer, and different environments are characterized by vastly different encounter rates between cells, based on mechanisms ranging from simple diffusion to fluid flow. However, how the environment affects the conjugation rate by setting the encounter rate has been largely neglected, mostly b...

摘要:Pumas (Puma concolor) occupy a vast geographical range spanning from Canada to Argentina. Due to urbanization and unregulated hunting, pumas in Florida, known as panthers, are the only breeding population east of the Mississippi River. In the 1990s, Florida panthers numbered <30 individuals suffering from inbreeding depression. In 1995, eight pumas from Texas were translocated into southern Florida to mitigate the effects of isolation. This translocation reduced inbreeding depression and incre...

摘要:Computational models of reinforcement learning (RL) have significantly contributed to our understanding of human behavior and decision- making. Traditional RL models, however, often adopt a linear approach to updating reward expectations, potentially oversimplifying the nuanced relationship between human behavior and rewards. To address these challenges and explore models of RL, we utilized a method of model discovery using equation discovery algorithms. This method, currently used mainly in p...

摘要:The dispersal of millet and rice agriculture from Korea to Japan from around 3,000 y ago has been well documented through radiocarbon analysis of botanical remains and surveying seed impressions on pottery. Much less is known about the extent to which these novel crops were consumed and incorporated into everyday culinary practices. In Japan, agriculturalists moving from Korea would have encountered large, sedentary Final Jomon populations who had well-established hunting, foraging, and cultiv...

摘要:Establishment of correct chromatin configuration in male meiosis is essential for sperm formation and male fertility. However, how chromatin remodeling contributes to meiotic progression in male germ cells is not well understood. Here, we find that the ISWI family ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factor SMARCA5 (SNF2H) plays a critical role in regulating meiotic prophase progression during spermatogenesis in mice. Male mice with germ cell-specific depletion of SMARCA5 are infertile and unabl...
