摘要:The viral shunt is a fundamental ecosystem process which diverts the flux of organic carbon fixed through photosynthesis during algal bloom events from heterotrophic grazers to bacteria. Through the extracellular release of metabolites, lytic viral infections supply 2 to 10% of photosynthetically fixed carbon in the ocean for bacterial respiration. Despite its significance for the carbon cycle, we lack tools to detect the viral shunt in the natural environment and assess its ecological impact....

摘要:Many important solid-phase synthesis reactions proceed slowly and inefficiently, for example, the coupling of an activated ester to a sterically hindered, bead-displayed amine, a critical step in the synthesis of many peptides. Forcing conditions are often required to achieve acceptable yields. We show here that such reactions can be accelerated by tethering to the bead a nucleophilic pyridine catalyst, which reacts with the activated ester, creating a high local concentration of a reactive ac...

摘要:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) facilitates the formation of facultative heterochromatin, instrumental to tissue specific gene expression. PRC2 catalyzes trimethylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3), which is targeted for chromatin compaction by PRC1. Importantly, PRC2-associated cofactors regulate its distinct activities, as in the case of MTF2 and JARID2 that direct PRC2 to specific chromatin nucleation sites based on preferred DNA-binding motifs. Here, we investigated EPOP whos...

摘要:Nipah virus is a highly pathogenic virus in the family Paramyxoviridae that utilizes two distinct surface glycoproteins to infect cells. The receptor-binding protein (RBP) binds host receptors whereas the fusion protein (F) merges viral and host membranes. Here, we use nonreplicative pseudoviruses to safely measure the effects of all F single amino acid residue mutations on its cell entry function and neutralization by monoclonal antibodies. We compare mutational tolerance in F with previous e...

摘要:Deciphering the structure of variable sensory input is key to building an accurate model of one's environment. Humans can accumulate evidence from sequences of stimuli to estimate their sensory statistics, predict the timing of upcoming stimuli, but also discover rules governing sequence generation. However, whether these three forms of inference operate independently or synergistically remains untested. Here, we report selective interactions between sensory integration, temporal prediction, a...

摘要:Quantum-chaotic systems exhibit several universal properties, ranging from level repulsion in the energy spectrum to wavefunction delocalization. On the other hand, if wavefunctions are localized, the energy levels exhibit no level repulsion and their statistics is Poisson. At the boundary between quantum chaos and localization, however, one observes critical behavior, not complying with any of those characteristics. An outstanding open question is whether there exists yet another type of univ...

摘要:Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) is a tumor-selective cell surface protein upregulated in high-grade neuroendocrine tumors, including small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). Here, we report on the development of anti-DLL3 radioimmunoconjugates for use as either a diagnostic imaging tracer based on the positron-emitter zirconium-89 (Zr-89) or a therapeutic agent utilizing the beta-emitter lutetium-177 (Lu-177). To begin, we generated a panel of human monoclonal antibo...

摘要:Missense mutations play a critical role in human disease, contributing to both inherited disorders and cancer. However, accurately predicting their functional impact-particularly for cancer driver mutations-remains a major challenge due to limited validated labels and the complex molecular basis of oncogenesis. Here, we systematically characterized over 120,000 missense variants across pathogenic, benign, driver, passenger, recurrent somatic, and common population classes, using a comprehensiv...

摘要:Cities are often warmer than rural surroundings due to a phenomenon known as the urban heat island, which can be influenced by various factors, such as regional climate and land surface types. Under climate change, cities face not only the challenge of increasing temperatures in their surrounding hinterland but also the challenge of potential changes in their heat islands. However, even high-resolution global Earth system models (ESMs) with urban tiles can only properly resolve the largest urb...
