The Co-Evolution of Jawed Vertebrates and Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 Generates Unique Inflammation and Innate Immunity

This study identifies IRF5 and IRF6 in cartilaginous fish and shows their evolutionary conservation and functional relevance in innate immunity across jawed vertebrates.

Nitrogen signaling factor triggers a respiration-like gene expression program

The paper shows that NSF in fission yeast interacts with Hmt2 and shifts gene expression from fermentation to respiration-like, independent of carbon source.

Bidirectional feedforward regulatory loop of Dicer-like 4 and flavonoids causes floral bicolor patterning in petunia and dahlia

The paper identifies a bidirectional feedforward loop between Dicer-like 4 and flavonoids that regulates RNAi and anthocyanin biosynthesis, leading to floral bicolor patterning in petunia and dahlia.

Association of the malate dehydrogenase-citrate synthase metabolon is modulated by intermediates of the Krebs tricarboxylic acid cycle

The paper investigates how TCA cycle intermediates modulate the association of the MDH-CS metabolon, revealing their role in regulating metabolic flux and feedback mechanisms.

Evolved increases in hemoglobin-oxygen affinity and Bohr effect coincided with the aquatic specialization of penguins.

This study investigates how penguins evolved increased hemoglobin-oxygen affinity and Bohr effect to enhance diving capabilities by optimizing oxygen extraction and release during breath-hold dives.
