摘要:Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal genetic disorder caused by variants in CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Many variants are treatable with correctors, which enhance the folding and trafficking of CFTR. However, approximately 3% of persons with CF harbor poorly responsive variants. Here, we used affinity purification mass spectrometry proteomics to profile the protein homeostasis (proteostasis) changes of CFTR variants during correction to assess modulated interactions with protein...

摘要:Neural collapse (NC) reveals that the last layer of the network can capture data representations, leading to similar outputs for examples within the same class, while outputs for examples from different classes form a simplex equiangular tight frame (ETF) structure. This phenomenon has garnered significant attention due to its implications on the intrinsic properties of neural networks. Interestingly, we observe a simplex compression phenomenon in NC, where the geometric size of the simplex ET...

摘要:Argonaute (AGO) proteins bind to small RNAs to induce RNA interference (RNAi), a conserved gene regulatory mechanism in animal, plant, and fungal kingdoms. Small RNAs of the fungal plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea were previously shown to translocate into plant cells and to bind to the host AGO, which induced cross-kingdom RNAi to promote infection. However, the role of pathogen AGOs during host infection stayed elusive. In this study, we revealed that members of fungal plant pathogen B. cinere...

摘要:Plasmid conjugation is a contact-dependent horizontal gene transfer mechanism that significantly contributes to the dissemination of antibiotic resistance among bacteria. While the molecular mechanisms of conjugation have been extensively studied, our understanding of plasmid transfer dynamics within spatially structured bacterial communities and the influence of community architecture on plasmid dissemination remains limited. In this study, we use live-cell fluorescence microscopy to investig...

摘要:Globally, rising temperatures are increasingly favoring warm-affiliated species. Although changes in community composition are typically measured by the mean temperature affinity of species (the community temperature index, CTI), they may be driven by different processes and accompanied by shifts in the diversity of temperature affinities and breadth of species thermal niches. To resolve the pathways to community warming in Finnish flora and fauna, we examined multidecadal changes in the domin...

摘要:The nature of solid phases and cross-over of order-disorder phase transitions from twodimensional (2D) layers to three-dimensional (3D) bulk in confined atomic systems remain largely unexplained. To this end, we consider noble gases and aluminum confined between graphene sheets at different pressures and temperatures. Using crystal structure search methods and molecular dynamics based on machine-learned potentials with quantum-mechanical accuracy, we identify structures of multilayer confined ...

摘要:The occurrence of coinfections, where hosts are simultaneously infected by multiple pathogens, is widespread in nature and has significant negative impacts on global health. In humans, over one-sixth of the world's population is affected by coinfections, contributing to several diseases. However, despite the broad ecological relevance and impact on global health, most biomedical research has focused on understanding interactions between a single host and a single pathogen. The extent to which ...

摘要:Hedgehog (Hh) signaling plays fundamental roles in embryonic development while its abnormal activation in adults is associated with cancer. Hh targeting drugs have gained FDA approval but resistance emerged quickly, underlining the need for novel types of Hh inhibitors. Hh signaling is initiated by the Hh ligand, generated from the autoprocessing of Hh precursor. However, the catalytic role of a highly conserved Hedgehog residue C143 is still poorly understood. Here, we confirmed that C143 is ...
