While the full extent of modified substrates that comprise the \"PTM-ome\" are slowly emerging, how the upstream enzymes catalyzing these processes are regulated themselves is not well understood, particularly in the context of neurodegeneration. Here, we describe the reciprocal regulation of a kinase, the microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2), and an acetyltransferase, CREB-binding protein (CBP), two enzymes known to extensively modify tau proteins in the progression of Alzheimer's disease. We found that MARK2 negatively regulates CBP and, conversely, CBP directly acetylates and inhibits MARK2 kinase activity. These findings highlight a reciprocal negative feedback loop between a kinase and an acetyltransferase, which has implications for how PTM interplay is coordinated on substrates including tau.

For the first time, many significant diagnostic characters of the external morphology and male and female genitalia of Eocene Sphodrini were studied in detail. Based on these data, three fossil species are diagnosed and placed in a natural group characterized by a derived pattern in elytral chaetotaxy and microsculpture and therefore the genus Quasicalathus Schmidt & Will, gen. nov. is described to comprise these species. Due to the presence of a styloid right paramere, Quasicalathus gen. nov. is considered a member of the sphodrine “P clade” of Ruiz et al. (2009). However, given the absence of synapomorphies of any species group of the P clade, the systematic position of Quasicalathus gen. nov. within this clade remains unresolved. The Baltic amber species Calathus elpis Ortuño & Arillo, 2009 is redescribed based on additional, fossil, non-holotype material and transferred to Quasicalathus gen. nov. Identification of the additional C. elpis fossil material remains slightly uncertain due to the non-availability of the holotype for direct comparison coupled with doubts regarding the accuracy of certain character states presented in its original description.

Apart from sequencing more species, an alternative way to improve the phylogenetic inference and time estimation is to improve the quality of data, calibrations and analytical procedure. This study emphasizes the completeness of data, the reliability of genes (judged via alignment ambiguity and substitution saturation), and the justification for fossil calibrations. Based on published mitochondrial genomes, the Bayesian phylogeny of cockroaches and termites is recovered as: Corydiinae + (((Cryptocercidae + Isoptera) + ((Anaplectidae + Lamproblattidae) + (Tryonicidae + Blattidae))) + (Pseudophyllodromiinae + (Ectobiinae + (Blattellinae + Blaberidae)))). With two fossil calibrations, namely, Valditermes brenanae and Piniblattella yixianensis, this study dates the crown Dictyoptera to early Jurassic, and crown Blattodea to middle Jurassic. Using the ambiguous ‘roachoid’ fossils to calibrate Dictyoptera+sister pushes these times back to Permian and Triassic. This study also shows that appropriate fossil calibrations are rarer than considered in previous studies.","PeriodicalId":50592,"journal":{"name":"Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44058697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a polycentric Mediterranean faunal element with refugia in the Apennine Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula. Two phylogeographic questions are dealt with in this paper:\u0000 (1) Is it possible to differentiate, morphologically or genetically, the Balkanic populations from the Italian?\u0000 (2) Did the species reach Central Europe from the Balkan or Apennine Peninsula?\u0000 These questions were investigated using morphological and molecular biological methods. No morphological characters were uncovered which could serve to differentiate specimens from either distribution center. However, differences were detected in cox1, cox3 and 28S genes which allow for a reliable differentiation. Central European populations were largely identical with populations from Italy, but distinctly different from specimens from Greece. This could lead one to assume that the species migrated from Italy to Central Europe, although colonization from the southeast would appear easier due to more favorable orographic conditions. This discrepancy may be explained by the apparent absence of O. flavilabris from the large central part of the Balkan Peninsula, so that a gap exists between the southern and northern areas inhabited by O. flavilabris. Moreover, the species does not occur in eastern parts of Europe. Thus it would be more probable to assume that the occurrence of the species in the northwest Balkan Peninsula can be traced to migrations from the Apennine Peninsula to areas north and northeast of the Adriatic Sea, where O. flavilabris may have colonized the southeast of Central Europe.\u0000 A migration of Adriatomediterranean faunal elements from the northwest Balkan Peninsula to Central Europe might be of more significance than previously assumed.","PeriodicalId":50592,"journal":{"name":"Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41724805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the phylogeny and groundplan of the first instar nymphs of Peltoperlidae and Plecoptera were considered. The first instar nymphs of M. brevicauda have a slender body with a prognathous head of typical shape; they represent a groundplan in Plecoptera. On the other hand, the first instar nymphs of Y. uenoi have a broad, cockroach-like body with an orthognathous and shortened head, the latter being regarded as a potential autapomorphy of Peltoperlinae. Such differences in body shape between the subfamilies are speculated to arise from heterochrony. The three-segmented cerci of Y. uenoi are characteristic to Systellognatha, whereas the four-segmented cerci of M. brevicauda were independently acquired within Microperlinae. The structure and distribution pattern of chloride cells in the first instar nymphs of Plecoptera were also discussed. The presence of coniform chloride cells is a potential groundplan of Arctoperlaria. One to two pairs of chloride cells are distributed on the first nine abdominal segments of M. brevicauda; this represents a groundplan character of Systellognatha.
