In mammals, microtubule-dependent trafficking could participate the immune response, where the motor proteins are suggested to play an important role in this process, while the related study in fish was rare. In this study, dctn5, a subunit of dyactin complex for docking motor protein, was obtained by previous immune QTL screening. The full-length cDNAs of two dctn5 transcript variants were cloned and identified (named dctn5_tv1 and dctn5_tv2, respectively). Tissue distribution showed that dctn5_tv1 was widely distributed and high transcription was observed in immune tissue (skin), while dctn5_tv2 was predominantly detected in gonad and very low in other tissues. Time-course expression analysis revealed that dctn5_tv1 could be up-regulated in gill, intestine, skin, spleen, and kidney after Vibrio harveyi challenge. Moreover, recombinant Dctn5_tv1 exhibited high antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Streptococcus agalactiae due to binding to bacteria cells. Taken together, these data suggest Dctn5_tv1 is involved in immune response of bacterial invasion in Chinese tongue sole.

Mpox: emergence following smallpox eradication, ongoing outbreaks and strategies for prevention.

Curr Opin Infect Dis

January 2025

Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Purpose Of Review: This review focuses on the temporal relationship between the discontinuation of the global smallpox eradication effort with the rise of mpox in Africa and worldwide. It also discusses the global 2022 clade II mpox epidemic and the current 2024 clade I mpox outbreak. Newer findings on viral evolution and pathogenesis, plus current and future strategies for disease prevention, are reviewed.

The P2YR is activated by UDP and UDP glucose and is involved in many human inflammatory diseases. Based on the molecular docking analysis of currently reported P2YR antagonists and the crystallographic overlap study between PPTN and compound , a series of 3-substituted 5-amidobenzoate derivatives were designed, synthesized, and identified as promising P2YR antagonists. The optimal compound (methyl 3-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)-5-(2-(-tolyl) acetamido)benzoate, IC = 0.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is one of the most prevalent viral infections worldwide. In general, host immunity is sufficient to clear viral shedding and recurrences, although it is insufficient to prevent subsequent virologic reactivations. In immunocompromised patients, prolonged and difficult-to-treat HSV infections may develop.

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases in the world, with approximately 25% of the global population having latent tuberculosis infection. Secondhand smoke exposure has been recognised as a significant risk factor in the development of active Tuberculosis in individuals with latent tuberculosis infection.

Study Design And Methods: This study used the Systematic Literature Review method based on PRISMA guidelines.

Background: In this study, we present an in-depth analysis of the Eurasian minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) genome, highlighting its genetic diversity, structural variations, and evolutionary adaptations. We generated an annotated haplotype-phased, chromosome-level genome assembly (2n = 50) by integrating high-fidelity (HiFi) long reads and chromosome conformation capture data (Hi-C).

Results: We achieved a haploid size of 940 megabase pairs (Mbp) for haplome 1 and 929 Mbp for haplome 2 with high scaffold N50 values of 36.
