The 14-3-3 epsilon (14-3-3ε) is a member of the 14-3-3-protein family claimed to play important roles in many biological processes. In this study, two alternative 14-3-3 epsilon mRNAs, designated as 14-3-3EL and 14-3-3ES were identified from the shrimp L. vannamei. The 14-3-3EL isoform contains an insertion of 48 nucleotides by intron retention in the pre-mRNA of 14-3-3ε. While the 14-3-3ES occurred after being fully spliced. Using the yeast two hybrid method, the pattern of dimer formation by the two alternative 14-3-3ε isoforms revealed that the shrimp 14-3-3ε formed both homodimers and heterodimers. Both 14-3-3ε transcript variants were constitutively expressed in all shrimp tissues tested but the level of the 14-3-3ES isoform was always lower. However, after white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection, the expression level of the two transcript variants changed. At 48 h after infection, expression of 14-3-3EL mRNA increased significantly in the gill and muscle tissue whereas the expression 14-3-3ES increased only in muscle. It was of interest that in the lymphoid organ, there was a significant down-expression of both transcript variants. From these results we suggest that 14-3-3EL and 14-3-3ES might be related to different cellular processes that are modulated during virus infection.

14-3-3s constitute a group of proteins belonging to the phosphoserine/phosphothreonine family that are involved in the regulation of several physiological pathways by interacting with several client proteins. All the eukaryotic cells are known to possess 14-3-3 isoforms. In addition, 14-3-3s isolated from different eukaryotic cells share high sequence homology with each other.

There is a molecular coupling between neurodegenerative diseases, including glaucomatous neurodegeneration (GN), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and Parkinson's disease (PD). Many cells in the eye and the brain have the right amount of 14-3-3 proteins (14-3-3 s) and their isoforms, such as β, ε, γ, η, θ, π, and γ. These cells include keratocytes, endothelial cells, corneal epithelial cells, and primary conjunctival epithelial cells.

Neuroinflammation is a common component of neurological disorders. In the gut-brain-immune axis, bacteria and their metabolites are now thought to play a role in the modulation of the nervous and immune systems which may impact neuroinflammation. In this respect, commensal bacteria of humans have recently been shown to produce metabolites that mimic endogenous G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands.

Background: Canine mammary tumors (CMTs) in intact female dogs provide a natural model for investigating metastatic human cancers. Our prior research identified elevated expression of Anterior Gradient 2 (AGR2), a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) primarily found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), in CMT tissues, highly associated with CMT progression. We further demonstrated that increased AGR2 expression actively influences the extracellular microenvironment, promoting chemotaxis in CMT cells.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are vital plant steroid hormones sensed at the cell surface by a membrane signaling complex comprising the receptor kinase BRI1 and a SERK family co-receptor kinase. Activation of this complex lead to dissociation of the inhibitor protein BKI1 from the receptor and to differential phosphorylation of BZR1/BES1 transcription factors by the glycogen synthase kinase 3 protein BIN2. Many phosphoproteins of the BR signaling pathway, including BRI1, SERKs, BKI1 and BZR1/BES1 can associate with 14-3-3 proteins.
