摘要:All life requires loading ring-shaped sliding clamp protein complexes onto DNA. The sliding clamp loader is a conserved AAA+ ATPase that binds the sliding clamp, opens the ring, and places it onto DNA. While recent structural work on both the canonical and alternative clamp loaders has shed light into how these machines perform their task once, it remains unclear how clamp loaders are recycled to load multiple sliding clamps. Here, we present structures of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae clamp lo...

摘要:Macrophages rely on dynamic cytoskeletal rearrangements to respond to their environment. This plasticity supports biomechanical transitions and functional polarization, mediating tissue homeostasis, antimicrobial defense, and repair processes. In the tumor environment context- specific reprogramming leads to functional diversification, from antitumorigenic to immunosuppressive phenotypes. Altering cytoskeletal dynamics modifies macrophage behavior and holds promise to shift their profile towar...

摘要:Histological images offer a wealth of data. Mining these data holds significant potential for enhancing disease diagnosis and prognosis, though challenges remain, especially in noncancer contexts. In this study, we developed a statistical framework that links raw histological images and their derived features to the genotype, transcriptome, and chronological age of the samples. We first demonstrated an association between image features and genotypes, identifying 906 image quantitative trait l...

摘要:We introduce and benchmark a stochastic local search heuristic for the Non-deterministic Polynomial Time (NP) complete satisfiability problem 3-SAT that drastically outperforms existing solvers in the notoriously difficult realm of critically hard instances. Our construction is based on the crucial observation that well established previous approaches such as WalkSAT are prone to get stuck in local minima that are distinguished from true solutions by a larger number of oversatisfied combinator...

摘要:Covert visual attention allows the brain to select different regions of the visual world without eye movements. Predictive cues of a target location orient covert attention and improve perceptual performance. In most computational models, researchers explicitly incorporate an attentional mechanism that alters processing at the attended location Here, we assess the emergent neuronal mechanisms of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that exhibit behavioral signatures of covert attention, despit...

摘要:We demonstrate a remarkable change in the chemical bonding of iron under pressure that underlies the distribution of elements in the Earth's mantle and core. Using a massive-scale, first-principles study, we show that while reacting with p-block elements under increasing pressure from ambient to Earth core conditions, iron tends to reverse its redox nature, changing from an electron donor (reductant) to an electron acceptor (oxidant), and oxidizes many p-block elements. Such reverse redox prop...

摘要:The WNT signaling pathway has long been implicated in tumorigenesis across multiple cancer types, including breast cancer. However, the complexity arising from the large number of WNTs and their receptors has made it challenging to pinpoint specific components driving tumor development. Using the MMTV- Wnt1 genetically engineered mouse model, which develops mixed- lineage mammary tumors resembling triple- negative breast cancer and composed of both basal and luminal subtypes, we identify the f...

摘要:Mutations in Argonaute proteins (AGOs) cause Argonaute syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD), yet the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. We determined cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of wild-type (WT) AGO1 and the recurrent, severe causative Delta F180 mutant. AGO1(Delta F180) unexpectedly rearranges the hydrophobic core of the L1 domain to preserve the overall RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC) architecture and recognize guide RNAs similarly to WT. Funct...

摘要:The angrite parent body (APB) is the most volatile-depleted among known differentiated bodies in the Solar System, yet the mechanisms responsible remain poorly constrained. Here, we present high-precision nickel (Ni) isotope data from a suite of angrite samples to reconstruct the APB's volatile depletion history. Plutonic angrites contain unusually high proportions of metallic iron and exhibit chondritic delta 60/58Ni values (0.202 +/- 0.028%o; per mille mass-dependent 60Ni/58Ni deviation rela...
