Regional expression differences of SERT and TSPAN8 in hippocampus, cerebellum and cortex of wild-type young, adult and middle-aged rats.

Changes in gene expression with aging are associated with a decline in physical and cognitive abilities. Here, we investigated the changes in mRNA and protein expression of TSPAN8 and SERT in the different parts of the brain for different age group rats. Our protein analysis revealed that aging mainly triggers SERT gene expression in the cerebellum and hippocampus, showing that an increase in mRNA expression correlates with protein expression.

A novel, conserved and possibly functional motif "WHWGHTW" in mitochondrial transcription across Bilateria.

The animal mitogenomes which undergone a reductive evolution has an obvious loss of coding capacity compared to their known closest relatives, but it has not yet been fully investigated why and how the intergenic regions do not encode protein and have no known functions, are stably maintained, replicated, and transmitted by the genome. These relatively small intergenic regions may not be under neutral evolution and they may have functional and/or regulatory roles that have yet to be identified. Here, the distribution pattern, sequence content and location of a novel sequence motif of 'WWWGHTW' were bioinformatically investigated and characterised by constructing a sampling mitogenome dataset of 1889 species from 14 phyla representing the clade of Bilateria.
