AI Article Synopsis
- - A juvenile polar bear in Alaska was found dead due to a natural infection with a dangerous strain of avian influenza (H5N1).
- - This particular strain is from the Eurasian clade 2.3.4.4b.
- - Engaging local communities and hunters in wildlife health monitoring is essential for spotting new diseases in the Arctic region.
Article Abstract
We report a natural infection with a Eurasian highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b virus in a free-ranging juvenile polar bear (Ursus maritimus) found dead in North Slope Borough, Alaska, USA. Continued community and hunter-based participation in wildlife health surveillance is key to detecting emerging pathogens in the Arctic.

The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a highly conserved protein complex in eukaryotes, with CSN5 serving as its critical catalytic subunit. However, the role of CSN5 in plant immunity is largely unexplored. Here, we found that suppression of in rice enhances resistance against the fungal pathogen and the bacterial pathogen pv.

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based genetic studies have identified many risk genes for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but only explain part of the heritability. Structural variation (SVs) may account for some of this otherwise unexplained heritability. In this study, we sequenced 1,519 AD patients and 2,010 controls using 30X whole-genome sequencing (WGS).

SORL1 (SORLA, LR11) is a large (2214 residue), multi-domain type 1 integral membrane protein that is the product of the SORL1 gene. In neurons, where it is highly expressed, SORL1 functions as both a substrate of and a cargo receptor for the retromer multi protein complex that is a master regulator of protein trafficking out of the early endosome. The SORL1-Vps26b retromer, in particular, is dedicated to the recycling of cell surface proteins, including APP and AMPA receptor subunit GLUA1, back to the plasma membrane.

Background: The microtubule-associated protein tau is the most commonly misfolded protein in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease and other related tauopathies. These neurological illnesses are hypothesized to share a common mechanism of disease progression, where pathogenic aggregates or 'seeds' of the tau protein function as templates promoting misfolding of functional, soluble tau protein. Under this premise, therapeutic strategies that modulate the seeding cascade, have high potential to interfere with the disease process.
