Conserved function of bat TBK1 in activating innate immunity against RNA viruses: insights into the innate immune response in bats by Qiuju Liu, Qi Shao, Caixia Xu, Chao Liu, Shuhan Li, Jie Wang, Xia Liu, Kehui Zhang, Yaxian Yan, Jianhe Sun, Yuqiang Cheng

“…Co-expression of bat TBK1 with bat IRF1/3/7 can facilitate the upregulation of IFNβ mediated by bat TBK1, implying the activation signals potentially can be transmitted from bat TBK1 to IRF1/3/7, and then promote IFNβ production. Structurally, protein kinase domain (PKD), ubiquitin-like domain (ULD), and coiled-coil domain 1 (CCD1) are essential domains for bat TBK1 to function normally. …”

Evolution of the Three Spectral Components in the Prompt Emission of GRB 240825A by Chen-Wei Wang, Wen-Jun Tan, Shao-Lin Xiong, Rahim Moradi, Yan-Qiu Zhang, Chao Zheng, Bing Li, Xiao-Bo Li, Cheng-Kui Li, Jia-Cong Liu, Yue Wang, Bo-Bing Wu, Sheng-Lun Xie, Wang-Chen Xue, Shu-Xu Yi, Zheng-Hang Yu, Peng Zhang, Shuang-Nan Zhang, Wen-Long Zhang, Zhen Zhang

“…The multisegment broken power-law feature observed in the flux lightcurves suggests the presence of an early afterglow in the keV–MeV band and hints at a possible two-jet structure. Furthermore, the observed transition from positive to negative on the spectral lag can be interpreted as misalignment in the cross-correlation function analysis of pulses, which is caused by evolution of the soft and hard components.…”
