Molecular Evolution of the Primate Antiviral Restriction Factor Tetherin
BACKGROUND Tetherin is a recently identified antiviral restriction factor that restricts HIV-1 particle release in the absence of the HIV-1 viral protein U (Vpu). It is reminiscent of APOBEC3G and TRIM5a that also antagonize HIV. APOBEC3G and TRIM5a have been demonstrated to evolve under pervasive positive selection throughout primate evolution, supporting the red-queen hypothesis. Therefore, o...
متن کاملGastroesophageal intussusception in a domestic short-hair cat
A 4-month-old, intact male domestic short-hair cat was presented to Veterinary Hospital with an acuteonset of regurgitation and respiratory distress. Thoracic and abdominal radiographs identified a massconsisted of a heterogeneous mixture of soft tissue and gas densities between heart and craniodorsal part of the diaphragm that was shifted to the left. The stomach could not be seen clearly. Rad...
متن کاملRecent advances in micromanipulation and transgenesis in domestic mammals
Background: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) involves mechanical transfer of a single sperm cell into ooplasm. A new application has been recently found for ICSI, the production of transgenic animals. Since the birth of ‘‘Dolly’’, the first adult somatic cloned mammal, viable offspring has been produced by nuclear transfer in many species including cattle. The present review briefly summ...
متن کاملBartonella quintana in Domestic Cat
We recovered Bartonella quintana DNA from dental pulp of a domestic cat. This study, the first to detect B. quintana in a nonhuman mammal, changes our understanding of the epidemiology of this infection and proposes that cats may be an emerging source of human infection.
متن کاملThyroid hormone deiodination in the domestic cat.
We have investigated thyroid hormone deiodination in the liver, kidney and thyroid of the domestic cat. Affinity labelling with (125)I-bromoacetyl reverse T(3) (125)(I-BrAc-rT(3) demonstrated that liver and kidney, but not the thyroid, express type I iodothyronine deiodinase (IDI), results that were confirmed by measuring the activity of the IDI using (125)I-rT(3) and T(4) as substrate. Feline ...
