    Abstract The Brazilian continental margin (BCM) extends from the Tropical to the Subtropical Atlantic Ocean, with much of its seafloor within deep waters, supporting rich geomorphological features and under wide productivity gradients. Deep-sea biogeographic boundaries on the BCM have been limited to studies that used water mass and salinity properties of deep-water masses, partly as a result of historical under sampling and a lack of consolidation of available biological and ecological datasets. The aim of this study was to consolidate benthic assemblage datasets and test current oceanographic biogeographical deep-sea boundaries (200-5,000 m) using available faunal distributions. We retrieved over 4,000 benthic data records from open-access databases and used cluster analysis to examine assemblage distributions against the deep-sea biogeographical classification scheme from Watling et al. (2013). Starting from the assumption that vertical and horizontal distribution patterns can vary regionally, we test other schemes incorporating latitudinal and water masses stratification within the Brazilian margin. As expected, the classification scheme based on benthic biodiversity is in overall agreement with the general boundaries proposed by Watling et al. (2013). However, our analysis allowed much refinement in the former boundaries, and here we propose the use of two biogeographic realms, two provinces and seven bathyal ecoregions (200-3,500 m), and three abyssal provinces (>3,500 m) along the BCM. The main driver for these units seems to be latitudinal gradients as well as water mass characteristics such as temperature. Our study provides a significant improvement of benthic biogeographic ranges along the Brazilian continental margin allowing a more detailed recognition of its biodiversity and ecological value, and also supports the needed spatial management for industrial activities occurring in its deep waters.

    Abstract A key step in the transcription of RNA is the binding of the RNA polymerase protein complex to a short promoter sequence that is typically upstream of the gene to be expressed. Automated identification of promoters would serve as a valuable complement to experimental validation in determining which genes are likely to be expressed and when; however, promoter sequences are short and highly variable, which makes them very difficult to accurately classify. The many tools developed to identify promoters in DNA have generally been tested on small and balanced subsets of genomic sequence, and the results may not reflect their expected performance on genomes with millions of DNA base pairs where promoters are likely to comprise less than ∼1% of the sequence. Here we introduce Expositor, a neural-network-based method that uses different types of DNA encodings and tunable sensitivity and specificity parameters. Expositor showed higher sensitivity and precision on the E. coli K-12 MG1655 chromosome than other tested approaches. Expositor predictions were more consistent in the homologous subset of sequence from a strain of Salmonella than they were with another strain of E. coli. We also examined the accuracy of Expositor in distinguishing different classes of promoters and found that misclassification between classes was consistent with the biological similarity between promoters.

    Abstract The accelerating pace of climate change has led to unprecedented shifts in surface temperature and precipitation patterns worldwide, with African savannas being among the most vulnerable regions. Understanding the impacts of these extreme changes on ecosystem health, functioning and stability is crucial. This paper focuses on the detection of breakpoints, indicative of shifts in ecosystem functioning, while also determining relevant ecosystem characteristics and climatic drivers that increase susceptibility to these shifts within the semi-arid to arid savanna biome. Utilising a remote sensing change detection approach and rain use efficiency (RaUE) as a proxy for ecosystem functioning, spatial and temporal patterns of breakpoints in the savanna biome were identified. We then employed a novel combination of survival analysis and remote sensing time series analysis to compare ecosystem characteristics and climatic drivers in areas experiencing breakpoints versus areas with stable ecosystem functioning. Key ecosystem factors increasing savanna breakpoint susceptibility were identified, namely higher soil sand content, flatter terrain and a cooler long-term mean temperature during the wet summer season. Moreover, the primary driver of changes in ecosystem functioning in arid savannas, as opposed to wetter tropical savannas, was found to be the increased frequency and severity of rainfall events, rather than drought pressures. This research highlights the importance of incorporating wetness severity metrics alongside drought metrics to comprehensively understand climate-ecosystem interactions leading to abrupt shifts in ecosystem functioning in arid biomes. The findings also emphasise the need to consider the underlying ecosystem characteristics, including soil, topography and vegetation composition, in assessing ecosystem responses to climate change. While this research primarily concentrated on the southern African savanna as a case study, the methodological robustness of this approach enables its application to diverse arid and semi-arid biomes for the assessment of climate-ecosystem interactions that contribute to abrupt shifts.

    Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle fibres occurs with both healthy aging and a range of neuromuscular diseases. The impact of mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle and the way muscle fibres adapt to this dysfunction is important to understand disease mechanisms and to develop therapeutic interventions. Furthermore, interactions between mitochondrial dysfunction and skeletal muscle biology, in mitochondrial myopathy, likely have important implications for normal muscle function and physiology. In this review, we will try to give an overview of what is known to date about these interactions including metabolic remodelling, mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial turnover, cellular processes and muscle cell structure and function. Each of these topics is at a different stage of understanding, with some being well researched and understood, and others in their infancy. Furthermore, some of what we know comes from disease models. Whilst some findings are confirmed in humans, where this is not yet the case, we must be cautious in interpreting findings in the context of human muscle and disease. Here, our goal is to discuss what is known, highlight what is unknown and give a perspective on the future direction of research in this area.

    Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and the most common movement disorder. Although PD etiology is not fully understood, alpha (α)-synuclein is a key protein involved in PD pathology. MicroRNAs (miRNA), small gene regulatory RNAs that control gene expression, have been identified as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for brain diseases, including PD. In particular, miR-124 is downregulated in the plasma and brain samples of PD patients. Recently we showed that the brain delivery of miR-124 counteracts 6-hydroxydopamine-induced motor deficits. However, its role in α-synuclein pathology has never been addressed. Here we used paraquat (PQ)-induced rat PD model to evaluate the role of miR-124-3p in α-synuclein accumulation and dopaminergic neuroprotection. Our results showed that an intranigral administration of miR-124-3p reduced the expression and aggregation of α-synuclein in the substantia nigra (SN) of rats exposed to PQ. NADPH oxidases (NOX), responsible for reactive oxygen species generation, have been considered major players in the development of α-synuclein pathology. Accordingly, miR-124-3p decreased protein expression levels of NOX1 and its activator, small GTPase Rac1, in the SN of PQ-lesioned rats. Moreover, miR-124-3p was able to counteract the reduced levels of pituitary homeobox 3 (PITX3), a protein required for the dopaminergic phenotype, induced by PQ in the SN. This is the first study showing that miR-124-3p decreases PQ-induced α-synuclein levels and the associated NOX1/Rac1 signaling pathway, and impacts PITX3 protein levels, supporting the potential of miR-124-3p as a disease-modifying agent for PD and related α-synucleinopathies.
