Mitochondrial dysfunction induces RNA interference in C. elegans through a pathway homologous to the mammalian RIG-I antiviral response.

RNA interference (RNAi) is an antiviral pathway common to many eukaryotes that detects and cleaves foreign nucleic acids.In mammals, mitochondrially localized proteins such as mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS), retinoic acid-inducible Skirt gene I (RIG-I), and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) mediate antiviral responses.H

Authentication of Laying Hen Housing Systems Based on Egg Yolk Using 1H NMR Spectroscopy and Machine Learning

(1) Background: The authenticity of eggs in relation to the housing system of laying hens is susceptible to food fraud due to the potential for egg mislabeling.(2) Methods: A total of 4188 egg yolks, obtained from four different breeds of laying hens housed in colony cage, barn, free-range, and organic systems, were analyzed using 1H NMR spectrosco

The Self-Bleaching Process of Microcystis aeruginosa is Delayed by a Symbiotic Bacterium Pseudomonas sp. MAE1-K and Promoted by Methionine Deficiency

ABSTRACT Various interactions between marine cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria have been known, but the symbiotic relationships between Microcystis and heterotrophic Accessories bacteria remain unclear.An axenic M.aeruginosa culture (NIES-298) was quickly bleached after exponential growth, whereas a xenic M.aeruginosa culture (KW) showed a n
