摘要:Pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of cell death, is characterized by massive cell swelling and plasma membrane rupture. Although swelling was recently shown to occur in two steps, the molecular and biophysical mechanisms driving this process remained unclear. Using fast quantitative microscopy, we reveal that between the two swelling phases, cell volume transiently stabilizes despite sustained plasma membrane permeability to ions and small molecules. From a biophysical perspective, the existenc...

摘要:We show how to localize and quantify the functional evolutionary constraints on natural proteins. Protein folding has been one of the strongest constraints in sequence evolution. The method we propose compares the perturbations caused by local sequence variants to the energetics of the protein folding process and to the corresponding change to the apparent selection landscape of sequences over the evolutionary time scale. The difference between the physical folding free energies and the evolut...

摘要:Gram-negative bacteria have long been thought to confine primary glycerophospholipid synthesis to the inner membrane (IM). Here, we challenge this paradigm by identifying ClsO, an outer membrane (OM) lipoprotein from Acinetobacter baumannii that functions as a cardiolipin synthase. In contrast to canonical cardiolipin synthases, which are restricted to the IM, ClsO is surface-exposed and deposits cardiolipin into the outer leaflet of the OM, colocalizing with Acinetobacter lipooligosaccharide....

摘要:How positive and negative affective stimuli interact in the brain to influence behavioral outcomes remains poorly understood. Here, we show that recall of a positively valenced reward-associated cue (reward-conditioned stimulus, CSRew+) can prevent or reverse fear generalization in mice. Modification of generalized fear by recall of a CSRew+ is dependent on the midbrain dopamine system and the regulation of discriminatory fear encoding by the central amygdala (CeA). Precisely timed, transient ...

摘要:Realization of unusual particle-to-wave-like crossover in phonon transport and understanding its fundamental structural origin can guide the design of materials with ultra-low thermal conductivity. Here, we report such a crossover from particle-like phonon propagation to wave-like coherence with increasing temperature in the zero-dimensional (0D) metal halide, Tl2AgI3. Composed of discrete (Tl6I)(5+)and (Ag3I8)(5-) subunits, the structure exhibits intrinsic lattice instability governed by Paul...

摘要:Two major mechanisms of axon degeneration have been identified. The first, a caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway, is a major mediator of developmental axon degeneration triggered by loss of trophic support. The second, a caspase-independent pathway mediated by the sterile alpha and HEAT/Armadillo motif containing 1 (SARM1) NADase, was found in studies of injury-induced Wallerian degeneration; it is also implicated in degeneration associated with traumatic brain injury, as well as some neurodeg...

摘要:The plasma membrane-resident receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and their cognate peptide ligands play crucial roles in plant growth and development. The RLK BARELY ANY MERISTEM1 (BAM1) promotes phloem formation and regulates other aspects of root development. However, the mechanisms governing BAM1 protein degradation remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that two closely related ubiquitin ligases, RING DOMAIN LIGASE 1 (RGLG1) and RGLG2, specifically interact with BAM1 and its closest homolo...

摘要:Nitrate serves both as an essential nutrient and a key signaling molecule that shapes plant growth. In legumes, high nitrate concentrations suppress symbiotic nitrogen fixation, a process mediated by MtNLP1 (NIN-like protein1). Although nitrate minimally affects NLP transcript levels, it strongly controls their nuclear localization. How posttranslational modifications regulate MtNLP1 function, however, has remained unclear. Here, we show that nitrate induces SUMOylation of MtNLP1 at lysine 589...

摘要:Social scientists have long sought to investigate whether the predictors of educational attainment (EA) have changed across time. Here, we provide insights by incorporating genetic predictors of education in three nationally representative British birth cohorts born in 1946, 1958, and 1970. We investigated whether individual characteristics as proxied by polygenic indexes (PGIs) for EA and cognition have become more relevant to educational success over time and whether returns to genetic predi...
