A comparison of the large-scale gene expression patterns in summer and fall migratory (Fabricius) in northern China.

(Fabricius) is the most well-known seasonal migratory insect. This research focused on the molecular response of migration in summer and fall. A total of 17,810 assembled unigenes were obtained and 624 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in summer migration compared to fall migration.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Rambur, 1842 (Odonate: Libellulidae).

The phylogenetic relationships of dragonflies have received great attention all the time. For a better understanding the phylogenies among odonate insects, the paper presented the complete mitochondrial genome of based on next generation sequencing data of total genomic DNA. The total length comprised 15,249 bp and the 37 genes (2 rRNA genes, 13 protein coding genes and 22 tRNA genes).

Genetic Diversity and Demographic History of Globe Skimmers (Odonata: Libellulidae) in China Based on Microsatellite and Mitochondrial DNA Markers.

To analyze genetic characters of migratory dragonflies, we used 10 microsatellite markers and a partial sequence of the mitochondrial gene Cytb to investigate genetic diversity and demographic history among 19 populations of P. flavescens in eastern the monsoon region of China. In a Bayesian clustering analysis of the microsatellite data, three distinct clades were present, and each population consisted of a mixture of individuals from the three clusters.

TARBP2 inhibits IRF7 activation by suppressing TRAF6-mediated K63-linked ubiquitination of IRF7.

Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), a crucial regulator of type I interferons (IFNs), plays a crucial role in resistance to viral infection. The abnormal production of type I IFNs is associated with many types of disease, such as cancer and inflammatory disorders. Thus, understanding the post-translational modifications of IRF7 is essential to promoting an appropriate immune response.

THO Complex Subunit 7 Homolog Negatively Regulates Cellular Antiviral Response against RNA Viruses by Targeting TBK1.

RNA virus invasion induces a cytosolic RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling pathway by promoting assembly of the Mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) signalosome and triggers the rapid production of type I interferons (IFNs) and proinflammatory cytokines. During this process, the pivotal kinase TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is recruited to the MAVS signalosome to transduce a robust innate antiviral immune response by phosphorylating transcription factors interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB and promoting their nuclear translocation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the negative regulation of TBK1 are largely unknown.

RACK1 attenuates RLR antiviral signaling by targeting VISA-TRAF complexes.

Virus-induced signaling adaptor (VISA), which mediates the production of type I interferon, is crucial for the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor (RLR) signaling pathway. Upon viral infection, RIG-I recognizes double-stranded viral RNA and interacts with VISA to mediate antiviral innate immunity. However, the mechanisms underlying RIG/VISA-mediated antiviral regulation remain unclear.

TARBP2 negatively regulates IFN-β production and innate antiviral response by targeting MAVS.

MAVS as an essential receptor protein for anti-virus innate immunity plays an important role in the production of virus-induced typeⅠ interferon and regulation of interferon regulatory factor 3/7. Understanding the MAVS-mediated antiviral signaling pathway can provide detailed insights. In this study, we identify transactivation response element RNA-binding protein (TARBP2), as an inhibitor of the cellular protein kinase PKR, negatively regulates virus -induced IFN-β production by targets MAVS.

FKBP8 inhibits virus-induced RLR-VISA signaling.

The mitochondrial antiviral signal protein mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein, also known as virus-induced signaling adaptor (VISA), plays a key role in regulating host innate immune signaling pathways. This study identifies FK506 binding protein 8 (FKBP8) as a candidate interacting protein of VISA through the yeast two-hybrid technique. The interaction of FKBP8 with VISA, retinoic acid inducible protein 1 (RIG-I), and IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) was confirmed during viral infection in mammalian cells by coimmunoprecipitation.

Seasonal Migration of Pantala flavescens Across the Bohai Strait in Northern China.

Pantala flavescens (Fabricius 1798) (Odonata: Libellulidae) is one of the most common species of migratory dragonflies. P. flavescens adults were captured by a searchlight trap on Beihuang Island (BH Island; 38°24'N, 120°55'E) from 2003 to 2016, where there is no freshwater.

Development of 10 microsatellite markers from Pantala flavescens and their applicability in studying genetics diversity.

Pantala flavescens (Fabricius 1798) is one of the most common species among migration dragonflies. It is often encountered in large swarms during migration or directed dispersal flights. For a better understanding of its gene flow, genetic structure and migration patterns throughout the world, 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated in this study.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Trichogaster trichopterus (Anabantoidei: Osphronemidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of Trichogaster trichopterus was determined in this study. It is 16,452 bp in size and consists of 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 1 non-coding control regions (D-loop). The overall base composition of the heavy strand of the T.
