Abstract
Instruct-ERIC, "the European Research Infrastructure Consortium for Structural biology research," is a pan-European distributed research infrastructure making high-end technologies and methods in structural biology available to users. Here, we describe the current state-of-the-art of integrated structural biology and discuss potential future scientific developments as an impulse for the scientific community, many of which are located in Europe and are associated with Instruct. We reflect on where to focus scientific and technological initiatives within the distributed Instruct research infrastructure. This review does not intend to make recommendations on funding requirements or initiatives directly, neither at the national nor the European level. However, it addresses future challenges and opportunities for the field, and foresees the need for a stronger coordination within the European and international research field of integrated structural biology to be able to respond timely to thematic topics that are often prioritized by calls for funding addressing societal needs.

Zhang T, Yuan J, Guo Y, Wang X, Li QX, Zhang J, Xie J, Miao W, Fan Y. Combined toxicity of trifloxystrobin and fluopyram to zebrafish embryos and the effect on bone development. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2024; 268:106834. [PMID: 38281391 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2024.106834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Trifloxystrobin (TRI) is a methacrylate fungicide, and fluopyram (FLU) is a new pyridylethylbenzamide fungicide and nematicide. Both are often detected in water bodies and may be highly toxic to many aquatic organisms. Unfortunately, the aquatic biological risks of single FLU or a mixture of trifloxystrobin and fluopyram have not been reported. In this study, zebrafish was selected as the test organism to investigate the combined toxicity of trifloxystrobin and fluopyram to zebrafish. After zebrafish embryos exposed to three pesticide solutions, Alcian-blue staining, Alizarin-red staining and quantitative PCR (qPCR) were performed. The results indicated that 96h-LC50 of TRI was 0.159 mg·L-1 to zebrafish embryo, which was highly toxic. The 96h-LC50 of FLU to zebrafish embryos was 4.375 mg·L-1, being moderately toxic. The joint toxicity to zebrafish embryos(FLU at 96h-LC50 and TRI at 96h-LC50 in a 1:1 weight ratio to form a series of concentration treatment groups) was antagonistic. Both trifloxystrobin and fluopyram also inhibited the skeletal development of zebrafish and showed to be antagonistic. The results of qPCR indicated upregulations of different genes upon three different treatments. TRI mainly induced Smads up-expression, which may affect the BMP-smads pathway. FLU mainly induced an up-expression of extracellular BMP ligands and type I receptor (Bmpr-1a), which may affect the BMP ligand receptor pathway. The 1:1 mixture (weight ratio) of trifloxystrobin and fluopyram induced a reduction of the genes of extracellular BMP ligand (Smads) and type I receptor (Bmpr1ba), which may down-regulate BMP signaling and thus attenuating cartilage hyperproliferation, hypertrophy and mineralization. The results warren an interest in further studying the effect of the two fungicides in a mixture on zebrafish.
