RT @MDeniseDearing: @UofUBiology Wow!! bacteria co-opt weapons from phage to reduce competition

Bacteria can repurpose their own bacteriophage viruses (phage) to kill competing bacteria. Phage-derived elements are frequently strain specific in their killing activity, although there is limited...

We find that this liver response to a highly toxic diet is mediated by multiple transcription factors including CAR, PXR, and NRF2! (4).

Many of these biotransformation genes are highly duplicated in the genome of the desert woodrat and this increase in gene dosage drives high overall expression! (3).

We find that desert woodrats in response to consuming creosote bush mount a robust liver response including the dose-dependent expression of a diversity of genes that code for biotransformation enzymes. (2).

The desert woodrat has evolved the remarkable ability to feed on the highly toxic creosote bush. Curious how they do this? Check out our newest study in @CompBiochPhys, by lead author Dr. Robert Greenhalgh! (1) . @UofUBiology @MDeniseDearing @MikeDShapiro
