Jonusaite S, Himmerkus N
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol . 2024 Sep; 298:111741. PMID: 39276851
Regulation of salt and water balance occupies a dominant role in the physiology of many animals and often relies on the function of the renal system. In the mammalian kidney,...

Yarikipati P, Jonusaite S, Pleinis J, Dominicci Cotto C, Sanchez-Hernandez D, Morrison D, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2023 Oct; 19(10):e1010975. PMID: 37819975
WNK (With no Lysine [K]) kinases have critical roles in the maintenance of ion homeostasis and the regulation of cell volume. Their overactivation leads to pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (Gordon syndrome)...

Jonusaite S, Oulhen N, Izumi Y, Furuse M, Yamamoto T, Sakamoto N, et al.
Dev Biol . 2023 Jan; 495:21-34. PMID: 36587799
Septate junctions (SJs) evolved as cell-cell junctions that regulate the paracellular barrier and integrity of epithelia in invertebrates. Multiple morphological variants of SJs exist specific to different epithelia and/or phyla...

Jonusaite S, Rodan A
Curr Opin Insect Sci . 2021 Feb; 47:7-11. PMID: 33581351
During development, the insect Malpighian tubule undergoes several programmed morphogenetic events that give rise to the tubule's ability to transport ions and water at unparalleled speed. Studies in Diptera, in...

Beyenbach K, Schone F, Breitsprecher L, Tiburcy F, Furuse M, Izumi Y, et al.
Am J Physiol Cell Physiol . 2020 Apr; 318(6):C1107-C1122. PMID: 32267718
Tetraspanin-2A (Tsp2A) is an integral membrane protein of smooth septate junctions in . To elucidate its structural and functional roles in Malpighian tubules, we used the -GAL4/UAS system to selectively...

Jonusaite S, Beyenbach K, Meyer H, Paululat A, Izumi Y, Furuse M, et al.
Am J Physiol Cell Physiol . 2020 Jan; 318(3):C675-C694. PMID: 31913700
Septate junctions (SJs) are occluding cell-cell junctions that have roles in paracellular permeability and barrier function in the epithelia of invertebrates. Arthropods have two types of SJs, pleated SJs and...

Kolosov D, Jonusaite S, Donini A, Kelly S, ODonnell M
J Exp Biol . 2019 May; 222(Pt 11). PMID: 31064858
The Malpighian tubules (MTs) and hindgut together act as the functional kidney in insects. MTs of caterpillars are notably complex and consist of several regions that display prominent differences in...

Nowghani F, Chen C, Jonusaite S, Watson-Leung T, Kelly S, Donini A
Aquat Toxicol . 2019 Apr; 211:92-104. PMID: 30954848
The impact of freshwater (FW) salinization on osmoregulation as well as tracheal gill morphology and function was examined in nymphs of the mayfly Hexagenia rigida following exposure to salt contaminated...

Sun Q, Wu Y, Jonusaite S, Pleinis J, Humphreys J, He H, et al.
J Am Soc Nephrol . 2018 Apr; 29(5):1449-1461. PMID: 29602832
With No Lysine kinase (WNK) signaling regulates mammalian renal epithelial ion transport to maintain electrolyte and BP homeostasis. Our previous studies showed a conserved role for WNK in the regulation...

J Exp Biol . 2017 Sep; 220(Pt 21):3997-4006. PMID: 28860119
This study investigated ionoregulatory strategies used by freshwater (FW) nymphs of the mayfly Like other FW organisms, nymphs maintain hemolymph ion levels (in mmol l: Na ∼102; Cl ∼84; K...
