摘要:The dopamine transporter (DAT) is crucial for regulating dopamine signalling and is the prime mediator for the rewarding and addictive effects of cocaine(1). As part of the neurotransmitter sodium symporter family, DAT uses the Na+ gradient across cell membranes to transport dopamine against its chemical gradient(2). The transport mechanism involves both intra- and extracellular gates that control substrate access to a central site. However, the molecular intricacies of this process and the in...

摘要:Biomolecular condensates enable cell compartmentalization by acting as membraneless organelles(1). How cells control the interactions of condensates with other cellular structures such as membranes to drive morphological transitions remains poorly understood. We discovered that formation of a tight-junction belt, which is essential for sealing epithelial tissues, is driven by a wetting phenomenon that promotes the growth of a condensed ZO-1 layer(2) around the apical membrane interface. Using ...

摘要:Nasal vaccination elicits a humoral immune response that provides protection from airborne pathogens(1), yet the origins and specific immune niches of antigen-specific IgA-secreting cells in the upper airways are unclear(2). Here we define nasal glandular acinar structures and the turbinates as immunological niches that recruit IgA-secreting plasma cells from the nasal-associated lymphoid tissues (NALTs)(3). Using intact organ imaging, we demonstrate that nasal vaccination induces B cell expan...

摘要:The unimolecular heterolysis of covalent sigma-bonds is integral to many chemical transformations, including S(N)1-, E1- and 1,2-migration reactions. To a first approximation, the unequal redistribution of electron density during bond heterolysis is governed by the difference in polarity of the two departing bonding partners(1-3). This means that if a sigma-bond consists of two identical groups (that is, symmetric sigma-bonds), its unimolecular fission from the S-0, S-1, or T-1 states only occ...
