摘要:Chloroplast division, a process tightly linked to the energy demands of plants, is initiated by the formation of the stromal filamenting temperature-sensitive Z (FtsZ) ring. The Z ring is highly dynamic, and its constriction provides the essential force for chloroplast division. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing Z-ring dynamics and constriction remain poorly understood. Here, we report that the chloroplast inner envelope membrane (IEM) protein ACCUMULATION AND REPLICATION OF CHLOROP...

摘要:Drimenol synthase from Aquimarina spongiae (AsDMS) is a highly unusual chimera that integrates two distinct, sequential isoprenoid processing activities within a single polypeptide chain. AsDMS catalyzes the class II cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to form drimenyl diphosphate, which then undergoes enzyme- catalyzed hydrolysis to yield drimenol, a bioactive sesquiterpene alcohol with antifungal and anticancer properties. Here, we report the X- ray crystal structures of AsDMS and its ...

摘要:Circulating monocytes are recruited to the tumor microenvironment, where they can differentiate into macrophages that mediate tumor progression. To reach the tumor microenvironment, monocytes must first extravasate and migrate through the type-1 collagen rich stromal matrix. The viscoelastic stromal matrix around tumors not only stiffens relative to normal stromal matrix, but often exhibits enhanced viscous characteristics, as indicated by a higher loss tangent or faster stress relaxation rate...

摘要:Mutations that impact splicing play a significant role in disease etiology but are not fully understood. To characterize the impact of exonic variants on splicing in 71 clinically actionable disease genes in asymptomatic people, we analyzed 32,112 exonic mutations from ClinVar and Geisinger MyCode using a minigene reporter assay. We identify 1,733 splice-disrupting mutations, with the most extreme variants likely being deleterious. We report that these variants are not distributed evenly acros...

摘要:SMAX1-LIKE (SMXL) proteins in plants are cellular signaling hubs, many of which are posttranslationally regulated by karrikins from smoke, the plant hormones strigolactones (SLs), and/or cues such as light and nutrients. SMXL proteins control diverse aspects of growth, development, and environmental adaptation in plants through transcriptional corepression and interactions with transcriptional regulator proteins. In flowering plants, the SMXL family comprises four phylogenetic clades with diff...

摘要:Recognition of epitopic peptide antigens presented on class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC- I) proteins by T cell receptors (TCRs) forms the cornerstone of immune surveillance, leading to a plethora of adaptive immune responses. Characterization of TCR:peptide/MHC- I interactions is critical for understanding immune recognition, and developing immunotherapies, but the large variation in docking orientations of TCRs on their peptide/MHC- I targets challenges structural modeling. NMR sp...

摘要:Enhancing the reliability and reproducibility of optical microscopy by reducing specimen irradiance continues to be an important biotechnology target. As irradiance levels are reduced, however, the particle nature of light is heightened, giving rise to Poisson noise, or photon sparsity that restricts only a few (0.5%) image pixels to comprise a photon. Photon sparsity can be addressed by collecting approximately 200 photons per pixel; this, however, requires long acquisitions and, as such, sub...
