Hybridization due to changing species distributions: adding problems or solutions to conservation of biodiversity during global change? (2015)
Journal Article
Brennan, A. C., Woodward, G., Seehausen, O., Munoz-Fuentes, V., Moritz, C., Guelmami, A., …Edelaar, P. (2015). Hybridization due to changing species distributions: adding problems or solutions to conservation of biodiversity during global change?. Evolutionary Ecology Research, 16(6), 475-491

Background: Due to increasing global change, the rate of hybridization appears to be increasing. Question: Is hybridization adding problems or solutions to the effects of global change on biodiversity? Methods: We divided ourselves into two independe...

Cbx4 maintains the epithelial lineage identity and cell proliferation in the developing stratified epithelium (2015)
Journal Article
Mardaryev, A., Liu, B., Rapisarda, V., Poterlowicz, K., Malashchuk, I., Rudolf, J., …Botchkarev, V. (2016). Cbx4 maintains the epithelial lineage identity and cell proliferation in the developing stratified epithelium. Journal of Cell Biology, 212(1), 77-89. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201506065

During development, multipotent progenitor cells establish lineage-specific programmers of gene activation and silencing underlying their differentiation into specialized cell types. We show that the Polycomb component Cbx4 serves as a critical deter... Read More about Cbx4 maintains the epithelial lineage identity and cell proliferation in the developing stratified epithelium.

Phosphorylation Regulates the Endocytic Function of the Yeast Dynamin-Related Protein Vps1 (2015)
Journal Article

Phosphorylation Regulates the Endocytic Function of the Yeast Dynamin-Related Protein Vps1. Molecular and Cellular Biology, 36(5), 742-755. https://doi.org/10.1128/mcb.00833-15

The family of dynamin proteins is known to function in many eukaryotic membrane fusion and fission events. The yeast dynamin-related protein Vps1 functions at several stages of membrane trafficking, including Golgi apparatus to endosome and vacuole,...

Maternal Oxytocin Is Linked to Close Mother-Infant Proximity in Grey Seals (Halichoerus grypus) (2015)
Journal Article
Robinson, K. J., Twiss, S. D., Hazon, N., & Pomeroy, P. P. (2015). Maternal Oxytocin Is Linked to Close Mother-Infant Proximity in Grey Seals (Halichoerus grypus). PLoS ONE, 10(12), Article e0144577. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0144577

Maternal behaviour is a crucial component of reproduction in all mammals; however the quality of care that mothers give to infants can vary greatly. It is vital to document variation in maternal behaviour caused by the physiological processes control...

Hypercapnia modulates cAMP signalling and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-dependent anion and fluid secretion in airway epithelia (2015)
Journal Article
Turner, M., Saint-Crib, V., Patel, W., Ibrahim, S., Verdon, B., Ward, C., …Gray, M. (2016). Hypercapnia modulates cAMP signalling and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-dependent anion and fluid secretion in airway epithelia. The Journal of Physiology, 594(6), 1643-1661. https://doi.org/10.1113/jp271309

Hypercapnia is clinically defined as an arterial blood partial pressure of CO2 of above 40 mmHg and is a feature of chronic lung disease. In previous studies we have demonstrated that hypercapnia modulates agonist-stimulated cAMP levels through effec...

We performed a screen for genetic suppressors of cobra, an Arabidopsis mutant with defects in cellulose formation and an increased ratio of unesterified/esterified pectin. We identified a suppressor named mongoose1 (mon1) that suppressed the growth d... Read More about Identification of MEDIATOR16 as the Arabidopsis COBRA suppressor, MONGOOSE1.

Land sparing, land sharing, and the fate of Africa's lions (2015)
Journal Article
