A multilayered regulatory network mediated by protein phosphatase 4 controls carbon catabolite repression and de-repression in Magnaporthe oryzae by Zhicheng Huang, Qing Wang, Yan Li, Pengyun Huang, Jian Liao, Jing Wang, Hui Li, Yingying Cai, Jiaoyu Wang, Xiaohong Liu, Fu-Cheng Lin, Jianping Lu

“…We demonstrate that the protein phosphatase 4 complex (Pp4c and Smek1 subunits), the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) Snf1, and the transcriptional regulators CreA (repressor) and Crf1 (activator) collaboratively regulate the utilization of non-preferred carbon sources. Protein interaction and phosphorylation analyses reveal that under glucose-rich conditions, Snf1 and Smek1 directly regulate the phosphorylation status of CreA and Crf1. …”

Stable isotope ecology of Quaternary cervid and bovid species in Southeast Asia with implications for wildlife conservation by Sanah Shaikh, Hervé Bocherens, Kantapon Suraprasit

“…Here we measure stable carbon isotopic ratios (δ 13C) of tooth enamel samples of eight extant Southeast Asian cervid and bovid taxa, mostly listed as either endangered or vulnerable species by the IUCN and compare the results with their Pleistocene counterparts, in order to investigate their dietary and preferred habitat changes through time. As a result, three distinct categories of ecological patterns among these ruminant taxa are observed: (1) species with dietary and habitat changes through time (i.e. …”
