Proteinases, their receptors and inflammatory signalling: the Oxford South Parks Road connection.

In keeping with the aim of the Paton Memorial Lecture to 'facilitate the historical study of pharmacology', this overview, which is my distinct honour to write, represents a 'Janus-like' personal perspective looking both backwards and forwards at the birth and growth of 'receptor molecular pharmacology' with special relevance to inflammatory diseases. The overview begins in the Oxford Department of Pharmacology in the mid-1960s and then goes on to provide a current perspective of signalling by proteinases. Looking backwards, the synopsis describes the fruitful Oxford Pharmacology Department infrastructure that Bill Paton generated in keeping with the blueprint begun by his predecessor, J H Burn. Looking forwards, the overview illustrates the legacy of that environment in generating some of the first receptor ligand-binding data and providing the inspiration and vision for those like me who were training in the department at the same time. With apologies, I mention only in passing a number of individuals who benefitted from the 'South Parks Road connection' using myself as one of the 'outcome study' examples. It is also by looking forward that I can meet the complementary aim of summarizing the lecture presented at a 'BPS 2014 Focused Meeting on Cell Signalling' to provide an overview of the role of proteinases and their signalling mechanisms in the setting of inflammation.

Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history

Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is much debate on the most appropriate and reasonable ways in which to date the tree of life, and recent work has highlighted some confusions and complexities that can be avoided. Whether phylogenetic trees are dated after they have been established, or as part of the process of tree finding, practitioners need to know which calibrations to use. We emphasize the importance of identifying crown (not stem) fossils, levels of confidence in their attribution to the crown, current chronostratigraphic precision, the primacy of the host geological formation and asymmetric confidence intervals. Here we present calibrations for 88 key nodes across the phylogeny of animals, ranging from the root of Metazoa to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens. Close attention to detail is constantly required: for example, the classic bird-mammal date (base of crown Amniota) has often been given as 310-315 Ma; the 2014 international time scale indicates a minimum age of 318 Ma.

Large freshwater plesiosaurian from the Cretaceous (Aptian) of Australia

Benson, R.B.J., Fitzgerald, E.M.G., Rich, T.H. & Vickers-Rich, P., 2013. Large freshwater plesiosaurian from the Cretaceous (Aptian) of Australia. Alcheringa 37, 1–6. ISSN 0311-5518We report a large plesiosaurian tooth from the freshwater early–middle Aptian (Early Cretaceous) Eumeralla Formation of Victoria, Australia. This, combined with records of smaller plesiosaurian teeth with an alternative morphology, provides evidence for a multitaxic freshwater plesiosaurian assemblage. Dental and body size differences suggest ecological partitioning of sympatric freshwater plesiosaurians analogous to that in modern freshwater odontocete cetaceans. The evolutionarily plastic body plan of Plesiosauria may have facilitated niche differentiation and helped them to exclude ichthyosaurs from freshwater environments during the Mesozoic. However, confirmation of this hypothesis requires the discovery of more complete remains.Roger B.J.

Discussion: “Were the Ediacaran siliciclastics of South Australia coastal or deep marine?” by Retallack et al., Sedimentology, 59, 1208–1236

RICHARD H. T. CALLOW*, MARTIN D. BRASIER , and DUNCAN MCILROY*Department of Geology and Petroleum Geology, University of Aberdeen, Meston Building, Aberdeen,AB24 3UE, UK (E-mail: r.callow@abdn.ac.uk) Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3AN, UK Department of Earth Sciences, Memorial University of Newfoundland, 300 Prince Philip Drive,St John’s, NL A1B 3X5, CanadaINTRODUCTIONThe late Ediacaran Period is a critical interval inthe history of life on Earth and its poorly under-stood fossils have potential to shape our under-standing of early biosphere evolution. Critical tothis process is an accurate assessment of theenvironments in which these organisms flour-ished, prior to the radiation of animal life duringthe Cambrian explosion. Few successions can bemore historically important for this than theEdiacara Member of the Rawnsley Quarzite inthe Flinders Ranges, South Australia (Glaessner,1984). The depositional settings for these rockshave hitherto been established, and widelyaccepted, as being below fair-weather wave base,delta front, prodelta, shoreface to intertidal(Gehling, 2000). The new interpretation advancedby Retallack (2012), is thought-provoking andincludes a diverse dataset, which is used to arguefor deposition of the Ediacara Member within ashallow marine, coastal, and subaerial suite ofenvironments. This discussion examines a num-berofthe conclusions insupportofthatclaim,andconsiders that the established marine depositionalsetting of the Ediacara Member remains valid.‘DEEP MARINE’ CONTEXT OF THEEDIACARA MEMBERThe title of the paper implies that Gehling (2000)interpreted the Ediacara Member to be a ‘deepmarine’ unit (see also Mount, 1989). The term‘deep marine’ is rarely used in a strict sense bygeologists. It has been used variously to refereither to environments situated beyond the shelfbreak (e.g. Pickering et al., 1989) or to environ-ments affected by processes that are typical ofslope and basin floor environments (i.e. sedimentgravity flows). The depositional environmentsrecognized by Gehling (2000) include sandstonedeposition below fair-weather wave base inincised valley fills (palaeovalleys), delta front topro-delta palaeoenvironments, delta-top sandsheets, braid-deltas and intertidal flats. It is clearfrom this list of palaeoenvironmental interpreta-tions that Gehling (2000) did not consider theEdiacara Member as ‘deep marine’. For example,intertidal environments were identified from theinference of ancient microbial mats and sandgypsum crystals (Gehling, 2000; Gehling & Dro-ser, 2009). Most importantly, the fossiliferousbeds were interpreted as tempestites that formedin delta-front palaeoenvironments between stormand fair-weather wave base (Gehling, 2000).Sediment gravity flows including, but not lim-ited to, turbidites were identified as componentsof the succession by Gehling (2000), as parts ofFacies Associations C, D, and E. However, it wasstated explicitly that the massive channelizedsands (0AE5 to 8 m thick beds) were not depositedin a basinal setting, but rather in sub-wave basesubmarine channels. Similarly, the ‘micro-turbi-dites’ (Facies Association E) were interpreted aspart of a distal pro-delta environment. Suchshelfal prodelta turbidites are common in depo-sitional systems with high sediment supply andhigh rates of accommodation generation (e.g.McIlroy et al., 2005). We concur with Gehling(2000) that the thick-bedded, massive, and dewa-tered channelized sandstones are not readilycompatible with fluvial facies models and aremore consistent with deposition from submarineflows (e.g. Kneller & Branney, 1995). The pres-ence of hummocky cross-stratified beds (Gehling,2000, fig. 10d) has been confirmed by manyauthors. Such bedforms were not observed bySedimentology (2013) 60, 624–627

Perspective: The causes and biogeographical significance of species’ rediscovery

The rediscovery of a species that was putatively considered to be extinct can provide valuable data to test biogeographical hypotheses about population decline and range collapse. Moreover, such rediscoveries often generate much‐needed publicity and additional funds for the conservation of rare species and habitats. However, like extinction, rediscovery is challenging to define. In this perspective we argue that the ‘loss’ of a species and its subsequent rediscovery can be understood in terms of the interplay among four socio‐ecological factors: (1) the state of knowledge of species loss and rediscovery; (2) the presence of people and/or organizations with the interest, motivation, resources, skills and tech‐ nology to find target species; (3) the accessibility of the areas, habitats or sites where the species are thought to survive; and (4) the ease with which a species can be located when it is present within a habi‐ tat. Thus, species are ‘lost’ from scientific knowledge for different reasons and, consequently, not all rediscoveries are equally significant for biogeographical research or conservation. Indeed, rediscoveries of species that underwent a well documented decline and disappearance – and are therefore of greatest potential importance for both conservation and biogeographical research – appear to be poorly repre‐ sented in the literature compared to rediscovered species that were only known from a handful of mu‐ seum specimens. Thus, carefully distinguishing between the causes of temporal gaps in zoological re‐ cords is essential for improving the utility of rediscovery data for biogeographical research and conser‐ vation practice. Keywords: extinction, range collapse, rarity, critically endangered, monitoring Introduction Rediscoveries of putatively extinct species are of great potential interest to both conservationists and biogeographers (Crowley 2011). For the for‐ mer, ‘rediscovery’ can be a considerable conserva‐ tion policy and publicity asset (Ladle and Jepson 2008, Ladle et al. 2009) – as testified by recent global initiatives: in 2009 BirdLife International launched a “global bid to try to confirm the con‐ tinued existence of 47 species of bird that have not been seen for up to 184 years” (BirdLife Inter‐ national 2009). The following year Conservation International launched its “Search for lost Frogs” which involves a dedicated campaign and expedi‐ tions to 18 countries seeking to locate 40 species not seen for a decade or more (Conservation In‐ ternational 2010) – at the time of writing 12 spe‐ cies have been rediscovered. Moreover, since re‐ discovered species are typically exceedingly rare and geographically localized, new knowledge on population status and distribution supports effec‐ tive conservation interventions. Finally, rediscov‐ eries remove uncertainty from extinction risk as‐ sessments; a confirmed new record moves the species from ‘extinct’ or ‘probably extinct’ and into an IUCN threat (or data deficient) category. For biogeographers, species rediscovery has both a practical and conceptual significance.

Factors determining effectiveness of interferons in managing hepatitis C: new targets and new approaches

Factors determining effectiveness of interferons in managing hepatitis C: new targets and new approaches N Rajoriya1, Eleanor Barnes1,21Department of Pathogen Research, Peter Medawar Building, South Parks Road, Oxford, UK; 2Oxford National Institute of Health Research Biomedical Research Centre, Oxford, UKAbstract: The hepatitis C virus now infects 170 million people worldwide. The majority of infected people develop viral persistence that may lead to increasing liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular cancer. Interferon therapy has been the mainstay of treatment for hepatitis C since the discovery of the virus in 1989. The introduction of a pegylated form of interferon that increases the half-life of interferon, and the concurrent use of ribavirin has ­significantly improved the likelihood of achieving long-term viral eradication. HCV genotype and viral load remain major determinants of response to interferons. However, very recently, host genetic polymorphisms linked to interferon-λ3 have also been shown to play a crucial role in clinical outcome. A significant body of evidence now exists showing that the hepatitis C virus has developed multiple strategies to subvert both the production and the antiviral effects of interferons. This review explores these strategies, the factors that determine the effectiveness of interferon therapy, and highlights novel interferons in development. Ultimately, given the significant side effect profile of interferon therapy, and the emergence of small molecules and therapeutic vaccines that may inhibit viral replication, the aim will be to achieve viral ­eradication without interferon treatment.Keywords: hepatitis C virus, interferon, ribavirin, novel interferons, interferon-λ, pharmacodynamics
