TL;DR: Immune precipitation with monospecific antiserum was employed to study the intracellular synthesis of viral glycoproteins gp85 and gp37, finding the precursor for the structural viral proteins, pr76, persisted in quail cells much longer than in chicken cells.
Abstract: Immune precipitation with monospecific antiserum was employed to study the intracellular synthesis of viral glycoproteins gp85 and gp37. Labeled gp85 and gp37 were detected from lysates of cells transformed with Rous sacroma virus, strain B77, after long-term labeling with radioactive glucosamine or phenylalanine. Immune precipitates prepared from lysates of cells pulse-labeled for a short time resulted in a glycoprotein of 92,000 molecular weight (gp92). This precursor was stable in B77-transformed Japanese quail cells for several hours, whereas in chicken cells it could be chased within a few hours into virion glycoproteins gp85 and gp37. Similarly, the precursor for the structural viral proteins, pr76, persisted in quail cells much longer than in chicken cells. During very short pulses or in the presence of a glucosamine block (25 mM glucosamine), the antiserum against the viral envelope glycoproteins detected a precursor of higher electrophoretic mobility of approximately 70,000 molecular weight, "p70." Fucose label entered gp92 and gp85 as well as "p70." Proteolytic treatment of virion-bound gp85 in vitro generated two discrete glycoproteins of 62,000 and 45,000 molecular weight, but did not result in an increase in the amount of gp37.

TL;DR: It is observed that ATR exposure resulted in oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction by activating the NXR response and interfering the CYP450s homeostasis in quail cerebrum that supported the molecular mechanism of ATR induced Cerebrum toxicity.
Abstract: The residues from the widely used broad-spectrum environmental herbicide, atrazine (ATR), result in the exposure of nontarget organisms and persist as a global major public health hazard. ATR is neurotoxic and may cause adverse health effects in mammals, birds, and fishes. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of ATR induced neurotoxicity remains unclear. To assess the molecular mechanisms of ATR-induced cerebral toxicity through potential oxidative damage, quail were treated with ATR by oral gavage administration at doses of 0, 50, 250, and 500 mg/kg body weight daily for 45 days. Markedly, increases in the amount of swelling of neuronal cells, the percentage of mean damaged mitochondria, mitochondrial malformation, and mitochondrial vacuolar degeneration as well as decreases in the mitochondrial cristae and mitochondrial volume density were observed by light and electron microscopy in the cerebrum of quail. ATR induced toxicities in the expression of mitochondrial function-related genes and promoted oxi...

TL;DR: This AFLP map of the Japanese quail already provides an efficient tool for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and can be enriched with other marker types, especially mapped chicken genes that will enable to link the maps of both species and make use of the powerful comparative mapping approach.
Abstract: The quail is a valuable farm and laboratory animal. Yet molecular information about this species remains scarce. We present here the first genetic linkage map of the Japanese quail. This comprehensive map is based solely on amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. These markers were developed and genotyped in an F2 progeny from a cross between two lines of quail differing in stress reactivity. A total of 432 polymorphic AFLP markers were detected with 24 Taq I/Eco RI primer combinations. On average, 18 markers were produced per primer combination. Two hundred and fifty eight of the polymorphic markers were assigned to 39 autosomal linkage groups plus the ZW sex chromosome linkage groups. The linkage groups range from 2 to 28 markers and from 0.0 to 195.5 cM. The AFLP map covers a total length of 1516 cM, with an average genetic distance between two consecutive markers of 7.6 cM. This AFLP map can be enriched with other marker types, especially mapped chicken genes that will enable to link the maps of both species and make use of the powerful comparative mapping approach. This AFLP map of the Japanese quail already provides an efficient tool for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping.

TL;DR: Results of the present study indicated that propolis could be an alternative hatching egg disinfectant versus a chemical disinfectant, without adverse effects on hatchability and performance of quail chicks.
