Multi-scale Approaches to Dynamical Transmission of Protein Allostery (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Townsend, P., Rodgers, T., Pohl, E., Wilson, M., Cann, M., & McLeish, T. (2015, January). Multi-scale Approaches to Dynamical Transmission of Protein Allostery. Presented at Physical Biology of Proteins and Peptides, Mexico City, Mexico

We review the idea that allosteric interactions can be transmitted not by structural switching but by the more subtle route of modulation of the amplitude of thermally-activated global dynamical modes in allosteric proteins. The effect is naturally a... Read More about Multi-scale Approaches to Dynamical Transmission of Protein Allostery.

Niche dynamics of alien species do not differ among sexual and apomictic flowering plants (2015)
Journal Article
Dellinger, A., Essl, F., Hojsgaard, D., Kirchheimer, B., Klatt, S., Dawson, W., …Dullinger, S. (2016). Niche dynamics of alien species do not differ among sexual and apomictic flowering plants. New Phytologist, 209(3), 1313-1323. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.13694

Biological invasions can be associated with shifts of the species’ climatic niches but the incidence of such shifts is under debate. The reproductive system might be a key factor controlling such shifts because it influences a species’ evolutionary f...

Armigeres subalbatus colonization of damaged pit latrines: a nuisance and potential health risk to residents of resettlement villages in Laos (2015)
Journal Article
Hiscox, A., Hirooka, R., Vongphayloth, K., Hill, N., Lindsay, S., Grandadam, M., & Brey, P. (2016). Armigeres subalbatus colonization of damaged pit latrines: a nuisance and potential health risk to residents of resettlement villages in Laos. Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 30(1), 95-100. https://doi.org/10.1111/mve.12142

During the resettlement of 6500 persons living around the Nam Theun 2 hydroelectric project in Laos, more than 1200 pour-flush latrines were constructed. To assess the role of these latrines as productive larval habitats for mosquitoes, entomological...

Nationwide trophic cascades: changes in avian community structure driven by ungulates (2015)
Journal Article
Palmer, G., Stephens, P., Ward, A., & Willis, S. (2015). Nationwide trophic cascades: changes in avian community structure driven by ungulates. Scientific Reports, 5, Article 15601. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep15601

In recent decades, many ungulate populations have changed dramatically in abundance, resulting in cascading effects across ecosystems. However, studies of such effects are often limited in their spatial and temporal scope. Here, we contrast multi-spe...

Stability of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteases OVERLY TOLERANT TO SALT1 and -2 modulates salicylic acid signalling and SUMO1/2 conjugation in Arabidopsis thaliana (2015)
Journal Article
Bailey, M., Srivastava, A., Conti, L., Nelis, S., Zhang, C., Florance, H., …Sadanandom, A. (2016). Stability of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteases OVERLY TOLERANT TO SALT1 and -2 modulates salicylic acid signalling and SUMO1/2 conjugation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Journal of Experimental Botany, 67(1), 353-363. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erv468

Small ubiquitin-like modifier proteases 1 and 2 (SUMO1/2) have been linked to the regulation of salicylic acid (SA)-mediated defence signalling in Arabidopsis thaliana. In order to define the role of the SUMO proteases OVERLY TOLERANT TO SALT1 and -2...

The use of external electronic tags on fish: an evaluation of tag retention and tagging effects (2015)
Journal Article
Jepsen, N., Thorstad, E., Havn, T., & Lucas, M. (2015). The use of external electronic tags on fish: an evaluation of tag retention and tagging effects. Animal Biotelemetry, 3(1), Article 49. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-015-0086-z

External tagging of fish with electronic tags has been used for decades for a wide range of marine and freshwater species. In the early years of fish telemetry research, it was the most commonly used attachment method, but later internal implants bec...

Monolayers of neurons and glia have been employed for decades as tools for the study of cellular physiology and as the basis for a variety of standard toxicological assays. A variety of three dimensional (3D) culture techniques have been developed wi... Read More about Neuronal-glial populations form functional networks in a biocompatible 3D scaffold.

Trans-oligomerization of duplicated aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases maintains genetic code fidelity under stress (2015)
Journal Article

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) play a key role in deciphering the genetic message by producing charged tRNAs and are equipped with proofreading mechanisms to ensure correct pairing of tRNAs with their cognate amino acid. Duplicated aaRSs are very... Read More about Trans-oligomerization of duplicated aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases maintains genetic code fidelity under stress.
