摘要:Linguistic structures show uneven global distributions, but it remains unknown to what extent such distributions are driven by human population history at a global scale. Here, we track population history through population genetics and show that, adjusting for geography, phylogeny, and environment, genetic diversity (in terms of local homozygosity modeled across individuals) is inversely correlated with linguistic diversity (in terms of local entropy of structural features modeled across lang...

摘要:Iron is an essential element that can be growth-limiting in microbial communities, particularly those present within host organisms. To acquire iron, many bacteria secrete siderophores, secondary metabolites that chelate ferric iron. These iron chelates can be transported back into the cell via TonB-dependent transporters in the outer membrane, followed by intracellular liberation of the iron. Pathogenic Escherichia coli and Salmonella produce siderophores during gut infection. In response to ...

摘要:Noonan syndrome (NS) is the most common RASopathy, a developmental disorder that derives from dysregulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. NS results from modestly activating mutations in proteins throughout the pathway. Trametinib, a MEK inhibitor, has shown promising results for certain NS complications, but NS-specific therapeutic options are lacking. CRAF activity, which is governed by the adaptor protein 14-3-3, represents a key NS regulatory node that has not bee...

摘要:The zona incerta (ZI) plays an important role in diverse behavioral functions and is an emerging clinical target for deep brain stimulation to treat neurological conditions. Despite their importance, the cell type composition of the ZI and the anatomical circuit organization linking specific ZI cell types to brain-wide circuits remain unclear. In this study, we used single-nucleus RNA-sequencing, spatial RNA profiling, ex vivo electrophysiology, and anatomical circuit mapping to generate a mul...

摘要:Hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) are heterodimeric transcription factors that coordinate cellular responses to low oxygen levels by binding a short hypoxia response element (HRE) DNA sequence near O2-regulated genes. Prior studies suggest HIF/HRE complexes are augmented by the binding of additional factors nearby, but those interactions are not well understood. Here, we integrated structural and biochemical approaches to investigate several functionally relevant HIF assemblies with other prote...

摘要:It might have been believed that elucidation of the atomistic structure of PrPSc would lead to an immediate understanding of the mechanism of prion propagation. However, PrPSc, now known to be a simple amyloid, can only template a previously unfolded polypeptide chain. Therefore, PrPSc can easily template the disordered similar to 90-120 domain of an incoming PrPc molecule, but not its similar to 121-231 folded domain (FD). The FD needs to accommodate into the similar to 121-230 PrPSc surface,...

摘要:The brain is thought to produce decisions by gradual accumulation of sensory evidence through a hierarchically organized feedforward cascade of neuronal activities that transforms early stimulus representations in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) to a perceptual decision processed in premotor areas. Recently, this prevailing view has been challenged by observation of choice-correlated neural activity as early in the hierarchy as S1. Here, to reconcile these seemingly controversial observa...

摘要:The role of lifestyle interventions in treatment success has become essential for nearly every disease. Healthy dietary habits, regular exercise, and stress management are key pillars that can improve quality of life during treatment, as well as delay disease onset and progression. In this study, we focus on the combination of mild calorie restriction (CR) and voluntary exercise as coadjuvants to chemotherapy in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer using the 4T1 mouse model. In this ...

摘要:Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) signals an increasing threat during pathogenesis. How plants deploy timely defenses through QS perception is poorly understood. Here, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana perceives 2'-aminoacetophenone (2'-AA), a volatile QS signal from Pseudomonas aeruginosa , and mounts a multilayered defense. This response comprises BRI1-ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (BAK1)-dependent intracellular immunity, extracellular quorum quenching through the release of acetic acid, and ec...
