Life Sciences Marine mystery solved: How anemonefish avoid stings from their sea anemone hosts The clownfish-anemone living arrangement is one of the most widely recognized examples of symbiosis. Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding how anemonefish can live safely among sea anemones without being stung by their venomous tentacles, solving a century-long mystery. Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and their international collaborators have […] Written by Admin February 15, 2025February 15, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biology An S-acylated N-terminus and a conserved loop regulate the activity of the ABHD17 deacylase The dynamic addition and removal of long-chain fatty acids modulate protein function and localization. The α/β hydrolase domain–containing (ABHD) 17 enzymes remove acyl chains from membrane-localized proteins such as the oncoprotein NRas, but how the ABHD17 proteins are regulated is unknown. Here, we used cell-based studies and molecular dynamics simulations to show that ABHD17 activity […] Written by Admin February 15, 2025February 15, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Life Sciences Dessert stomach emerges in the brain To find the cause of the “dessert stomach,” the researchers investigated the reaction of mice to sugar and found that completely satiated mice still ate desserts. Investigations of the brain showed that a group of nerve cells, the so-called POMC neurones, are responsible for this. These neurones become active as soon as the mice were […] Written by Admin February 16, 2025February 16, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
