DNA base modifications in honey bee and fruit fly genomes suggest an active demethylation machinery with species- and tissue-specific turnover rates
Rasmussen, Erik; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg; Münch, Daniel; Krokan, Hans Einar; Klungland, Arne; Amdam, Gro Vang; Dahl, John Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Well-known epigenetic DNA modifications in mammals include the addition of a methyl group and a hydroxyl group to cytosine, resulting in 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) respectively. In contrast, ... -
Resolving the zinc binding capacity of honey bee vitellogenin and locating its putative binding sites
Leipart, Vilde; Enger, Øyvind; Turcu, Diana Cornelia; Dobrovolska, Olena; Drabløs, Finn; Halskau, Øyvind; Amdam, Gro Vang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The protein vitellogenin (Vg) plays a central role in lipid transportation in most egg-laying animals. High Vg levels correlate with stress resistance and lifespan potential in honey bees (Apis mellifera). Vg is the primary ...
