摘要:The ecological upheavals produced by the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event (K-Pg, -66 Ma) have been mostly studied at large scale with emphasis on clades' diversity dynamics. How this event affected the structure of paleocommunities is comparatively less investigated, especially within large vertebrate clades like fish. Here, we quantified changes in the contribution of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, rays) and actinopterygians (ray-finned fishes) to the fish community across the K-Pg ...

摘要:Tessellation, as an ancient and fascinating mathematical pursuit, has not only captivated mathematicians but also has attracted chemists' increasing attention at the molecular level in recent years. Exploring tessellation at the molecular scale is pivotal for gaining profound insights into the effects of tessellation on materials and elucidating the essential design principles for supramolecular tessellation. In this study, we develop a dynamic fullerene host (1) with three consecutive heptago...

摘要:The synthesis of new polyhydrides with high superconducting Tc is challenging owing to the high pressures and temperatures required. In this study, we used machine-learning potential molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the initial stage of polyhydride formation in calcium hydrides. Upon contact with high-pressure H2, the surface of CaH2 melts, leading to CaH4 formation. This surface melting proceeds via CaH4 liquid phase as an intermediate state. High pressure reduces not only the hy...

摘要:The eukaryotic leading-strand DNA polymerase epsilon(Pol epsilon) is a dual-function enzyme with a proofreading 3 '-5 ' exonuclease (exo) site located 40 & Aring; from the DNA synthesizing pol site. Errors in Pol epsilon proofreading can cause various mutations, including C-to-G trans-versions, the most prevalent mutation in cancers and genetic diseases. Pol epsilon interacts with all three subunits of the PCNA ring to assemble a functional holoenzyme. Despite previous studies on proofreading ...

摘要:The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL135 and UL138 genes play opposing roles regulating latency and reactivation in CD34+ human progenitor cells. We designed an RNA sequencing study to compare the transcriptional profile of HCMV infection in the presence and absence of these genes using the Tohoku Hospital Pediatrics-1 (THP-1) monocytic cell line model for latency. Relative to primary cell models, THP-1 cells offer the strength of a homogenous population that uniformly silences gene expression a...

摘要:During infection, foreign DNA is sensed by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) leading to the production of cGAMP, STING-dependent type I interferon and proinflammatory cytokine expression, and autophagy. To prevent a response to self-DNA, cGAS activity is tightly regulated. Dysregulation of cGAS underpins interferonopathies, such as Aicardi-Gouti & egrave;res syndrome, as well as Lupus and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease. Thus, cGAS and its product cGAMP are therapeutic targets...

摘要:Mutations in ATP8B1 cause progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, with symptoms including pruritus, pancreatitis, fat malabsorption, intestinal inflammation, and failure to thrive. High-throughput studies showed interconnection between ATP8B1 and phosphoinositide (PIPs), but the mechanism linking ATP8B1, lipid metabolism, and inflammation remains unclear. Atp8b1G308V/G308Vmouse model, unbiased RNAseq, high-resolution-stimulation emission depltion (STED)-microscopy, and Crispr-Cas9 gener...

摘要:T cells display the remarkable ability to detect single foreign peptides displayed on target cells, while ignoring highly abundant self-peptides. This selectivity has been explained by kinetic proofreading in the T cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway, which prevents responses to short-lived binding events regardless of their abundance. However, the biochemical mechanisms that drive kinetic proofreading have remained unclear. Here, using computational modeling, we show that these key signalin...

摘要:FSP1 is an FAD-dependent oxidoreductase that uses NAD(P)H to regenerate the reduced forms of lipophilic quinone antioxidants, such as coenzyme Q10 and vitamin K. These quinone antioxidants function as radical scavenging agents that prevent the propagation of lipid peroxidation and the induction of ferroptosis. Although several small-molecule inhibitors of FSP1 have been developed and found to sensitize cancer cells to ferroptosis, our understanding of their molecular mechanisms remains limited...
