Multiple-locus, variable number of tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) of the fish-pathogen Francisella noatunensis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-24)Background: Since Francisella noatunensis was first isolated from cultured Atlantic cod in 2004, it has emerged as a global fish pathogen causing disease in both warm and cold water species. Outbreaks of francisellosis ... -
Multiple-stressor effects in an apex predator: combined influence of pollutants and sea ice decline on lipid metabolism in polar bears
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11-28)There is growing evidence from experimental and human epidemiological studies that many pollutants can disrupt lipid metabolism. In Arctic wildlife, the occurrence of such compounds could have serious consequences for ... -
Multiscale mapping of plant functional groups and plant traits in the High Arctic using field spectroscopy, UAV imagery and Sentinel-2A data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, leading to rapid changes in species composition and plant functional trait variation. Landscape-level maps of vegetation composition and trait distributions ... -
Mutational analysis of the pro-peptide of a marine intracellular subtilisin protease supports its role in inhibition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09)Intracellular subtilisin proteases (ISPs) have important roles in protein processing during the stationary phase in bacteria. Their unregulated protein degrading activity may have adverse effects inside a cell, but little ... -
Myogenesis of Siboglinum fiordicum sheds light on body regionalisation in beard worms (Siboglinidae, Annelida)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Many annelids, including well-studied species such as Platynereis, show similar structured segments along their body axis (homonomous segmentation). However, numerous annelid species diverge from this pattern ... -
The N-terminal acetyltransferase Naa10 is essential for zebrafish development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-06)N-terminal acetylation, catalysed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs), is among the most common protein modifications in eukaryotes and involves the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to the α-amino group of ... -
N-terminal modifications of cellular proteins: the enzymes involved, their substrate specificities and biological effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-16)The vast majority of eukaryotic proteins are N-terminally modified by one or more processing enzymes. Enzymes acting on the very first amino acid of a polypeptide include different peptidases, transferases, and ligases. ... -
NAA10 dysfunction with normal NatA-complex activity in a girl with non-syndromic ID and a de novo NAA10 p.(V111G) variant - a case report
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Background: The NAA10-NAA15 (NatA) protein complex is an N-terminal acetyltransferase responsible for acetylating ~ 40% of eukaryotic proteins. In recent years, NAA10 variants have been found in patients with an X-linked ... -
NAA10 mutation causing a novel intellectual disability syndrome with Long QT due to N-terminal acetyltransferase impairment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-02)We report two brothers from a non-consanguineous Irish family presenting with a novel syndrome characterised by intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism, scoliosis and long QT. Their mother has a milder phenotype including ... -
NatF Contributes to an Evolutionary Shift in Protein N-Terminal Acetylation and Is Important for Normal Chromosome Segregation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07-07)N-terminal acetylation (N-Ac) is a highly abundant eukaryotic protein modification. Proteomics revealed a significant increase in the occurrence of N-Ac from lower to higher eukaryotes, but evidence explaining the underlying ... -
National Red Lists in Fennoscandian Conservation: how spatio-temporal dynamics of red-listed species and geographical scale matter for site selection and conservation priorities
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-25)The Red List of threatened species is among the best tools available for management and conservation of species. In this thesis, I study nationally red-listed species at various geographical scales from fine-scale forest ... -
Natural and cultural heritage in mountain landscapes: towards an integrated valuation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Mountain areas of Europe have been managed by humans for a long time, leading to a prevalence of semi-natural habitats in mountain landscapes today. These landscapes contain both natural and cultural heritage; however, ... -
Natural mortality: Its ecology, how it shapes fish life histories, and why it may be increased by fishing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01)A stronger focus on natural mortality may be required to better understand contemporary changes in fish life histories and behaviour and their responses to anthropogenic drivers. Firstly, natural mortality is the selection ... -
Nature's View of Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-05-21)Ionotrope glutamatreseptorer (iGluR-er) er kationkanaler som spenner over cellemembranen og som formidler rask eksitatorisk overføring i det mammale sentralnervesystemet. De aktiveres ved binding av nevrotransmittere, for ... -
The near-collapse of the Faroe Plateau cod (Gadus morhua L.) stock in the 1990s: The effect of food availability on spatial distribution, recruitment, natural production and fishery
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-10-02)1. This thesis aims to explain why there was a near-collapse of the Faroe Plateau cod stock in the 1990s and why it recovered so quickly. Contrary to what local people on the Faroes believe, these fluctuations were not ... -
Nearshore fish aggregating devices show positive outcomes for sustainable fisheries development in Timor-Leste
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-13)Capture fisheries in small island developing states (SIDS) have the capacity to increase access to vital micronutrient-rich food to tackle malnutrition, but when fishers are restricted to nearshore habitats by limited ... -
