Lizard species may differ in their ecophysiology due to adaptation, plasticity and/or phylogeny. In restrictive environments, ecophysiological differences of species living in sympatry are expected to reveal long-term evolutionary responses to the abiotic environment while competitive interactions should be limited. These influences can be disentangled by combining field monitoring with experimental tests. Here, three lacertid lizard species, Atlantolacerta andreanskyi, Scelarcis perspicillata and Podarcis vaucheri sharing high mountain habitats in Oukaimeden (High Atlas, Morocco), were studied. In the field, spatiotemporal variation of the thermal and hydric environment used by the lizards was monitored using data-loggers. In the lab, thermal and hydric ecophysiology was estimated through assessments of preferred temperatures (Tp) and water loss (WL) rates. Species differed in microhabitat use and, hence, in their exposure to variations in temperature and humidity. However, they only differed in their WL (A. andreanskyi > S. perspicillata > P. vaucheri) while their Tp were similar. Such partial differences of species in in the fundamental niche, likely derived from their long-term independent phylogenetic trajectories, can be used to predict their responses to climate and habitat shifts in this and other parts of their respective ranges. Results also confirm previous suggestions that, together with thermal physiology, hydric physiology plays a prominent role in the organisation of lizard communities in the temperate region. 相似文献

Cyanobacteria are a group of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria with great potentials in biotechnological applications and advantages as models for photosynthesis research. The subcellular localizations of the majority of proteins in any cyanobacteria remain undetermined, representing a major challenge in using cyanobacteria for both basic and industrial researches. Here, using label-free quantitative proteomics, we map 2027 proteins of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, a model cyanobacterium, to different subcellular compartments and generate a proteome atlas with such information. The atlas leads to numerous unexpected but important findings, including the predominant localization of the histidine kinases Hik33 and Hik27 on the thylakoid but not the plasma membrane. Such information completely changes the concept regarding how the two kinases are activated. Together, the atlas provides subcellular localization information for nearly 60% proteome of a model cyanobacterium, and will serve as an important resource for the cyanobacterial research community. 相似文献

The impacts of comparative anatomy of electric rays (Batoidea: Torpediniformes) on their systematic hypotheses 下载免费PDF全文
Kerin M. Claeson 《Journal of morphology》2014,275(6):597-612
The Comparative anatomy of the 11 recognized genera within Torpediniformes is described, systematically categorized, and illustrated in a comprehensive photo‐atlas. Data are compiled into a character matrix and cladistically analyzed using parsimony to test hypotheses about the previously recognized subfamilies, while reconstructing the possible evolutionary history of Torpediniformes. Results are consistent with the previous rank‐based classifications, regardless of the parsimony criteria used to generate the phylogenetic hypothesis, with one notable exception: a monophyletic Narcininae was never recovered. Torpedinoidea (=Hypnos + Torpedo) is supported by the presence of long, slender, flexible jaw cartilages, absence of a large rostral fontanelle, presence of suprascapular antimeres that are each shorter than the scapular process of the scapulocoracoid, antorbital cartilages that articulate on the anterior aspect of the nasal capsules and absence of a frontoparietal fontanelle. Subfamilial names Hypninae and Torpedininae are redundant with the genus names Hypnos and Torpedo and are not adopted here. Narcinoidea (=nontorpedinoid torpediniforms) is supported by unambiguous character transformations to the presence of a divided lower lip, labial cartilages, laterolingually compressed palatoquadrates, bifurcated antorbital cartilages, a rostral fontanelle, ventrally projecting nasal capsules, a dorsal rim of the synarcual mouth posterior to occipital condyle, posteriorly positioned lateral stays, and obtuse anterior margins of lateral stays. Narkidae is supported by unambiguous character transformations to the presence of an uncovered eye that protrudes above dorsal surface, a shared rim between the spiracle and the eye, an anterior nasal turret that projects ventrally, a nasal curtain that covers the upper lip and dentition when the mouth is closed, tab‐like prepelvic processes, a mesopterygium that is shorter than propterygium but longer than metapterygium, a slender median rostral cartilage, and a basibranchial cartilage with an anterior margin that is depressed medially and a posterior margin that tapers.

BackgroundAltered epigenetic reprogramming and events contribute to breast cancer (Bca) progression and metastasis. How the epigenetic histone demethylases modulate breast cancer progression remains poorly defined. We aimed to elucidate the biological roles of KDM4A in driving Notch1 activation and Bca progression.MethodsThe KDM4A expression in Bca specimens was analyzed using quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical assays. The biological roles of KDM4A were evaluated using wound-healing assays and an in vivo metastasis model. The Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-qPCR assay was used to determine the role of KDM4A in Notch1 regulation.ResultsHere, we screened that targeting KDM4A could induce notable cell growth suppression. KDM4A is required for the growth and progression of Bca cells. High KDM4A enhances tumor migration abilities and in vivo lung metastasis. Bioinformatic analysis suggested that KDM4A was highly expressed in tumors and high KDM4A correlates with poor survival outcomes. KDM4A activates Notch1 expressions via directly binding to the promoters and demethylating H3K9me3 modifications. KDM4A inhibition reduces expressions of a list of Notch1 downstream targets, and ectopic expressions of ICN1 could restore the corresponding levels. KDM4A relies on Notch1 signaling to maintain cell growth, migration and self-renewal capacities. Lastly, we divided a panel of cell lines into KDM4Ahigh and KDM4Alow groups. Targeting Notch1 using specific LY3039478 could efficiently suppress cell growth and colony formation abilities of KDM4Ahigh Bca.ConclusionTaken together, KDM4A could drive Bca progression via triggering the activation of Notch1 pathway by decreasing H3K9me3 levels, highlighting a promising therapeutic target for Bca. 相似文献
