PPTC7 antagonizes mitophagy by promoting BNIP3 and NIX degradation via SCFFBXL4

G. T. Nguyen-Dien, B. Townsend, P. Kulkarni, K.-L. Kozul, S. S. Ooi, D. Eldershaw, S. Weeratunga, M. Liu, M. J. Jones, S. S. Millard, D. C. Ng, M. Pagano, D. Komander, M. Lazarou, B. M. Collins, J. K. Pagan

This study identifies PPTC7 as a cofactor for SCFFBXL4-mediated degradation of BNIP3 and NIX, suppressing mitophagy and revealing a feedback mechanism to regulate mitochondrial homeostasis.

Climate change, age acceleration, and the erosion of fitness in polar bears

L. Newediuk, E. S. Richardson, B. A. Biddlecombe, H. Kassim, L. Kathan, N. Lunn, L. R. Rivkin, O. E. Salama, C. Schmidt, M. J. Jones, C. J. Garroway

This study links climate change to accelerated epigenetic aging in polar bears, reduced fitness, and near-zero adaptive potential.

Jamestown Canyon Virus is transmissible by Aedes aegypti and is only moderately blocked by Wolbachia co-infection

M.-J. Lau, H. Dutra, M. J. Jones, B. McNulty, A. Diaz, F. Ware-Gilmore, E. A. McGraw

This study shows that Aedes aegypti can transmit Jamestown Canyon Virus (JCV) and that Wolbachia only moderately blocks JCV replication, suggesting distinct mechanisms for blocking negative-sense vs. positive-sense viruses.

Alpha-mannosidase-2 modulates arbovirus infection in a pathogen- and Wolbachia-specific manner in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes

N. Urakova, R. E. Joseph, A. Huntsinger, V. M. Macias, M. J. Jones, L. T. Sigle, M. Li, O. S. Akbari, Z. Xi, K. Lymperopoulos, R. T. Sayre, E. A. McGraw, J. L. Rasgon

This study shows that the mosquito gene Man2 affects arbovirus infection and Wolbachia interactions differently depending on the pathogen and Wolbachia strain.

Transmission and protection against re-infection in the ferret model with the SARS-CoV-2 USA-WA1/2020 reference isolate

D. R. Patel, C. J. Field, K. M. Septer, D. G. SIm, M. J. Jones, T. A. Heinly, E. A. McGraw, T. C. Sutton

This study evaluates transmission modes and immunity duration against SARS-CoV-2 in ferrets, finding direct contact transmission is efficient and immunity lasts at least 56 days, but intramuscular vaccination does not prevent upper respiratory tract infection.

Low light levels increase avoidance behaviour of diurnal fish species: Implications for road culverts

J. K. Keep, J. R. Watson, R. L. Cramp, M. J. Jones, M. A. Gordos, C. E. Franklin

The paper tests how low light levels in culverts affect fish behavior, finding diurnal species avoid dark areas and require ~100-200 lux to pass through, while most culverts lack sufficient light.

Breaking down defenses: Quantitative analysis of malaria infection dynamics reveals distinct immune defense strategies

N. Wale, M. J. Jones, D. G. Sim, A. F. Read, A. A. King

This study quantifies immune defense strategies against malaria by analyzing parasite and RBC dynamics, revealing coordinated resource-directed strategies that benefit the host.
