RESEARCH ARTICLES

  • Open Access
    No discrimination shock avoidance with sequential presentation of stimuli but shore crabs still reduce shock exposure
    Barry Magee, Robert W. Elwood
    Biology Open 2016 5: 883-888; doi: 10.1242/bio.019216

    Summary: There was no discrimination shock avoidance with sequential presentation of stimuli but, consistent with pain, shore crabs used other tactics to reduce shock exposure.

    IF-combined smRNA FISH reveals interaction of MCPIP1 protein with IER3 mRNA
    Jakub Kochan, Mateusz Wawro, Aneta Kasza
    Biology Open 2016 5: 889-898; doi: 10.1242/bio.018010

    Summary: We identify IER3 mRNA as a newly discovered MCPIP1 target using recently described IF-based procedures, and also identify a conserved element involved in MCPIP1-dependent IER3 transcript destabilization.

  • Open Access
    Combined cisplatin and aurora inhibitor treatment increase neuroblastoma cell death but surviving cells overproduce BDNF
    Alessio Polacchini, Clara Albani, Gabriele Baj, Andrea Colliva, Patrizia Carpinelli, Enrico Tongiorgi
    Biology Open 2016 5: 899-907; doi: 10.1242/bio.016725

    Summary: Cisplatin increases endogenous BDNF in MYCN-expanded neuroblastoma cells. Additional treatment with aurora kinase inhibitor PHA-680632 increases cell death but surviving cells overproduce BDNF, mainly by increased translation of exon 6.

  • Open Access

  • Open Access
    Habitat-specific foraging strategies in Australasian gannets
    Melanie R. Wells, Lauren P. Angel, John P. Y. Arnould
    Biology Open 2016 5: 921-927; doi: 10.1242/bio.018085

    Summary: Australasian gannets from two colonies in south-eastern Australia were equipped with GPS and miniature video data loggers to record foraging location and the prey preference.

  • Open Access
    Early development of Drosophila embryos requires Smc5/6 function during oogenesis
    Martin Tran, Vasilios Tsarouhas, Andreas Kegel
    Biology Open 2016 5: 928-941; doi: 10.1242/bio.019000

    Summary: Early emerging problems during oogenesis, such as DNA double-strand breaks, can affect chromosome duplication and segregation in embryogenesis in Drosophila. Moreover, environmental cues including temperature are important for proper oogenesis.

  • Open Access
    A genetic link between epigenetic repressor AS1-AS2 and a putative small subunit processome in leaf polarity establishment of Arabidopsis
    Yoko Matsumura, Iwai Ohbayashi, Hiro Takahashi, Shoko Kojima, Nanako Ishibashi, Sumie Keta, Ayami Nakagawa, Rika Hayashi, Julio Saéz-Vásquez, Manuel Echeverria, Munetaka Sugiyama, Kenzo Nakamura, Chiyoko Machida, Yasunori Machida
    Biology Open 2016 5: 942-954; doi: 10.1242/bio.019109

    Summary: This paper reports the importance of cooperative action between the nucleus-localized epigenetic repressor and the nucleolus-localized proteins involved in ribosomal RNA processing for polarity establishment of Arabidopsis leaves.

    Metabolic cost of osmoregulation in a hypertonic environment in the invasive African clawed frog Xenopus laevis
    Isaac Peña-Villalobos, Cristóbal Narváez, Pablo Sabat
    Biology Open 2016 5: 955-961; doi: 10.1242/bio.016543

    Summary: A significant increase in energy expenditure of Xenopus laevis exposed to hyperosmotic conditions is associated with urea concentration and a long-term effect of increasing the metabolic enzyme activities of liver and heart.

  • Open Access
    Expression and preliminary characterization of human MICU2
    Dan Li, Wenping Wu, Hairun Pei, Qiang Wei, Qingzhan Yang, Jimin Zheng, Zongchao Jia
    Biology Open 2016 5: 962-969; doi: 10.1242/bio.018572

    Summary: Ca2+ induces a monomer-dimer switch of MICU2, with the associated conformational change governed by its first EF-hand, but not influenced by the C-helix domain. A disulfide bond and salt bridge each contribute to MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer formation.

  • Open Access

    Biology Open 2016 5: 1001-1009; doi: 10.1242/bio.019570

    Summary: We show that proper PFA fixation allows high-quality super-resolution imaging of the actin cytoskeleton and can outperform gold-standard glutaraldehyde fixation for imaging of actin-binding proteins.
