Shade enhancers, a class of redundant enhancers uncovered by functional JAK-STAT pathway dissection

JAK-STAT signalling pathway activation relies mostly on the transcriptional regulation of its ligands. The pathway, conserved in vertebrates and invertebrates, is required for the development and homeostasis of various organs. In contrast to the complexity of the vertebrate pathway, with a multiplicity of ligands, receptors, kinases and transcription factors, the simplicity of the Drosophila…

Proteomics Maps Eye-Infecting Acanthamoeba Mitochondria Across Oxygen Levels

A new catalog of 1,122 mitochondrial proteins reveals how Acanthamoeba adapts to oxygen loss—and may highlight possible targets for treating sight-threatening infections.

  • Acanthamoeba mitochondria adapt to low oxygen by producing hydrogen gas
  • Researchers map 1,122 proteins, 381 unique to Acanthamoeba
  • Study in Cell improves understanding of amoeba's metabolic flexibility
