Abstract:
The organisation of the Sinapis alba genome, comprising 12 linkage groups (n = 12), was compared with the Brassicaceae ancestral karyotype (AK) genomic blocks previously described in other crucifer species. Most of the S. alba genome falls into conserved triplicated genomic blocks that closely match the AK-defined genomic blocks found in other crucifer species including the A, B, and C genomes of closely related Brassica species. In one instance, an S. alba linkage group (S05) was completely collinear with one AK chromosome (AK1), the first time this has been observed in a member of the Brassiceae tribe. However, as observed for other members of the Brassiceae tribe, ancestral genomic blocks were fragmented in the S. alba genome, supporting previously reported comparative chromosome painting describing rearrangements of the AK karyotype prior to the divergence of the Brassiceae from other crucifers. The presented data also refute previous phylogenetic reports that suggest S. alba was more closely related to Brassica nigra (B genome) than to B. rapa (A genome) and B. oleracea (C genome). A comparison of the S. alba and Arabidopsis thaliana genomes revealed many regions of conserved gene order, which will facilitate access to the rich genomic resources available in the model species A. thaliana for genetic research in the less well-resourced crop species S. alba.

Abstract:
Background:BANK1encodes an adapter/scaffold protein primarily expressed in B cells, which is involved in cell signaling and activation. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified differentBANK1single nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with SLE primarily in European or Asian-derived populations. Interestingly, we recently have documented an association between this gene and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Mexican population.Objectives:To determine whether theBANK1R61H (rs10516487G/A) and A383T (rs3733197G/A) SNVs are associated with clinical and immunological manifestations in SLE.Methods:Our study included 123 Mexican women with SLE (SLICC 2012 criteria). Genotyping of the twoBANK1SNVs were obtained by TaqMan probes and real-time PCR. An association study was performed between the alleles and genotypes ofBANK1R61H and A383T with the clinical and immunological manifestations included in the SLE SLICC classification criteria. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and an association study was performed using Finetti, apvalue ≤ 0.05 indicated association.Results:We identify an average age of 38.5±12. Cases and controls remained in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. An association with susceptibility to SLE was found between genotypes of the twoBANK1SNVs and joint manifestations (rs1051487G/A; AA + GA vs GG, OR 4.45,p=0.004, rs3733197G/A; AA + GA vs GG, OR 2.66,p=0.032, respectively), as well as with protection for neurological and renal involvement (rs1051487G/A, OR 0.16,p=0.02, rs3733197G/A; OR 0.40,p=0.02, respectively) (Table 1a and b). No association was found with other clinical manifestations.Conclusion:Our data in the Mexican population show that bothBANK1R61H and A383T SNVs are risk factors for synovitis. On the other hand, theseBANK1R61H and A383T variants are protective factors for neurological and renal damage, respectively.References:[1]Ramírez-Bello J, Jiménez-Morales S, Montufar-Robles I, et al.

Abstract:
Arginine kinase (AK) was isolated from the longitudinal muscle of the sea cucumber Stichopusjaponicus. Unlike the monomeric 40 kDa AKs from molluscs and arthropods, but like the cytoplasmic isoenzymes of vertebrate creatine kinase (CK), the Stichopus enzyme was dimeric. To explore the evolutionary origin of the dimeric AK, we determined its cDNA-derived amino acid sequence of 370 residues. A comparison of the sequence with those of other enzymes belonging to the phosphagen kinase family indicated that the entire amino acid sequence of Stichopus AK is apparently much more similar to vertebrate CKs than to all other AKs. A phylogenetic tree also strongly suggests that the Stichopus AK has evolved from CK. These results support the conclusion that AK evolved at least twice during the evolution of phosphagen kinases: first at an early stage of phosphagen kinase evolution (its descendants are molluscan and arthropod AKs) and secondly from CK later in metazoan evolution. A comparison of the amino acid sequence around the guanidino specificity (GS) region (which is a possible candidate for the guanidine substrate recognition site in the phosphagen kinase family) of the Stichopus enzyme with those of other phosphagen kinases showed that the GS region of the Stichopus enzyme was of the AK type: five amino acid deletions in the flexible loop region that might help to accommodate larger guanidine substrates in the active site. The presence of the AK-type deletions in the Stichopus AK, even though it seems that the enzyme's most immediate ancestor was probably CK, strongly suggests that the GS region has a role in substrate specificity. Stichopus AK and presumably other echinoderm AKs seem to have evolved from the CK gene; the sequence of GS region might have been replaced by the AK type via exon shuffling. The presence of an intron near the GS region in the Stichopus AK gene supports this hypothesis.

Abstract:
The article examines how modern Kazakh novels in the framework of historical reality show the traditions and customs of our people, formed over the centuries, it is considered how the authors find an artistic solution to depict the customs and customs of the people. The national character is conveyed through the content and form of the epic. The article notes that the experience of our ancestors, which has developed over thousands of years, should be continued in the future.The image of the national character is particularly evident in modern Kazakh novels, created in the last quarter of the XX century and at the beginning of the XXI century. The author of the article considers the features of the aesthetics of the artistic solution in S. Elubay's novel “Ak Boz Uy” (Lonely Yurt): from the documentary fiction is born, against the background of nature the realities of human life are revealed, national and ethnographic traditions are shown in comparison with the reality of time, etc.

Abstract:
Sat-Okh (Stanisław Supłatowicz) was an Indian-Polish writer who popularised the culture of North American Indigenous People in Poland during the Cold War and afterwards. His incredible biography evokes questions about the nature of his identity. Born of an Indian chief and a Polish mother around 1922 in the territory of Alberta, Sat-Okh grew up as a Shawnee. When his mother decided to return to Poland, he followed, but until his death in Gdańsk in 2003, Sat-Okh consistently identified with his Indigenous heritage. During WWII he escaped from a train to Auschwitz and joined the AK (The Home Army). He became famous for numerous books and short stories about his life with the Indians, which were translated into many languages. He was also strongly involved in the Polish-Indian Movement and promoted the culture of his native ancestors. This paper aims to present the life and work of Sat-Okh with regard to his mysterious identity. Recently, there has been some doubt whether Sat-Okh's biography is genuine. However, I would like to argue that Long Feather's phenomenon proves the fact that regardless of whether he was a true Shawnee or not, Sat-Okh chose to identify himself as Indian and consistently presented himself as one. He taught Poles about Indian traditions and gained a tremendous respect which has lasted until today.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Rhodaneses catalyze the transfer of the sulfane sulfur from thiosulfate or thiosulfonates to thiophilic acceptors such as cyanide and dithiols. In this work, we define for the first time the gene, and hence the amino acid sequence, of a 12-kDa rhodanese fromEscherichia coli. Well-characterized rhodaneses are comprised of two structurally similar ca. 15-kDa domains. Hence, it is thought that duplication of an ancestral rhodanese gene gave rise to the genes that encode the two-domain rhodaneses. The glpEgene, a member of the sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (glp) regulon of E. coli, encodes the 12-kDa rhodanese. As for other characterized rhodaneses, kinetic analysis revealed that catalysis by purified GlpE occurs by way of an enzyme-sulfur intermediate utilizing a double-displacement mechanism requiring an active-site cysteine. TheKm s for SSO3 2− and CN− were 78 and 17 mM, respectively. The apparent molecular mass of GlpE under nondenaturing conditions was 22.5 kDa, indicating that GlpE functions as a dimer. GlpE exhibited ak cat of 230 s−1. Thioredoxin 1 from E. coli, a small multifunctional dithiol protein, served as a sulfur acceptor substrate for GlpE with an apparentKm of 34 μM when thiosulfate was near itsKm , suggesting that thioredoxin 1 or related dithiol proteins could be physiological substrates for sulfurtransferases. The overall degree of amino acid sequence identity between GlpE and the active-site domain of mammalian rhodaneses is limited (∼17%). This work is significant because it begins to reveal the variation in amino acid sequences present in the sulfurtransferases. GlpE is the first among the 41 proteins in COG0607 (rhodanese-related sulfurtransferases) of the database Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/COG/ ) for which sulfurtransferase activity has been confirmed.

Abstract. Mishra AK, Bajpai R, Swain A. 2021. Finger millet-based staple beverages consumed by the Gadaba ethnic community of Odisha, India: Preparation and nutritive characteristics. Biodiversitas 22: 2737-2742. The indigenous food and beverages reflect the acquaintance of ethnic population to local environmental settings. Development of diet structure includes diversities in food and beverages depend on the ethnic knowledge they perceive from their ancestors as well as from the environmental determinants. The Gadaba ethnic community being native to the southern part of Odisha state in India, developed the art to sustain them through rain-fed agricultural crops like finger millet and upland rice. These traditional non-hybrid crops give different dimensions to their food and beverage structure. In this case, the study focussed on finger millet-based staple beverages consumed by Gadaba ethnic community of this region. The effort is given to discuss the complete indigenous preparation process and nutritional parameters concerning two indigenous indispensable fermented beverages named Landa and Pej. The nutritional analysis of these beverages proved it to be a promising diet structure for sustainability.

Abstract:
A sadok or salakot is a farmer’s cherished possession, protecting him from the sun or rain. The Sadok, persisting up to the present, has many uses. The study of Sadok making was pursued to highlight an important product, as a cultural tradition in the community as craft, art, and part of indigenous knowledge in central Antique in the Philippines. Despite that this valuable economic activity needs sustainability, it is given little importance if not neglected, and seems to be a dying economic activity. The qualitative study uses ethnophenomenological approaches to gather data using interviews and participant observation, which aims to describe the importance of Sadok making. It describes how the makers learned the language of Sadok making, especially terms related to materials and processes. The study revealed that the makers of Sadok learned the language from their ancestors. They have lived with them and interacted with them since they were young. Sadok making is a way of life and the people observe their parents work and assist in the work which allows them to learn Sadok making. They were exposed to this process through observations and hands-on activities or ‘on-the-job’ informal training. They were adept with the terms related to the materials and processes involved in the making of Sadok as they heard these terms from them. They learned the terms bamboo, rattan, tabun-ak (leaves used) and nito (those creeping vines) as materials used in Sadok making. The informants revealed that the processes involved in the making of Sadok are long and tedious, starting from the soaking, curing and drying of the bamboo, cleaning and cutting these bamboo into desired pieces, then with the intricacies in arranging the tabun-ak or the leaves, and the weaving part, until the leaves are arranged, up to the last phase of decorating the already made Sadok. In summary, socialization is one important factor in learning the language and a cultural practice such as Sadok making. It is an important aspect of indigenous knowledge that must be communicated to the young for it to become a sustainable economic activity, which could impact on the economy of the locality. Local government units should give attention to this indigenous livelihood. Studies that would help in the enhancement of the products can likewise be given emphasis.
