摘要:Insights into the molecular processes that drive early development of the human placenta is crucial for our understanding of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction, since defects in maturation of its epithelial cell, the trophoblast, have been detected in the severe forms of these diseases. However, key regulators specifying the differentiated trophoblast subtypes of the placenta are only slowly emerging. By using diverse trophoblast cell models, we herein sh...

摘要:TonB-dependent signal transduction is a versatile mechanism observed in gram-negative bacteria that integrates energy-dependent substrate transport with signal relay. In Escherichia coli, the TonB-ExbBD motor complex energizes the TonB-dependent outer membrane transporter FecA, facilitating ferric citrate import. FecA also acts as a sensor, transmitting signals to the cytoplasmic membrane protein FecR, which eventually activates the cytoplasmic sigma factor FecI, driving transcription of the f...

摘要:Theory predicts that well-adapted populations may evolve mechanisms to counteract the inevitable influx of deleterious mutations. While mutational robustness can be directly selected in the laboratory, evidence for its spontaneous evolution during general adaptation is mixed. Moreover, whether robustness evolves to include pleiotropic effects remains largely unexplored. Here, we studied the effects of point mutations in the RNA polymerase of Escherichia coli over a 15,000-generation adaptive t...

摘要:In order to forage for food, many animals regulate not only specific limb movements but the statistics of locomotor behavior, switching between long-range dispersal and local search depending on resource availability.How premotor circuits regulate locomotor statistics is not clear. Here, we analyze and model locomotor statistics and their modulation by attractive food odor in walking Drosophila. Food odor evokes three motor regimes in flies: baseline walking, upwind running during odor, and se...

摘要:Definitions of sustainability commonly stress both systemic continuity and equality over time. However, the degree to which these two sides of sustainability might be related has not been systematically investigated. Recent theoretical and methodological insights have provided archaeologists with new tools for investigating sustainability in premodern societies. Here, we use Gini coefficients on residence size measurements as an estimate of material inequality and information on the persistenc...

摘要:Phospholipase C beta (PLC beta) enzymes are the principal effectors activated by Gq heterotrimers. Both G alpha q and G beta gamma subunits can activate PLC beta, which requires precise positioning of PLC beta at the plasma membrane to relieve structural autoinhibition and give the active site access to the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) substrate. PLC beta enzymes possess a unique distal C-terminal domain (dCTD) that is critical for activation by G alpha q, but the reason for th...

摘要:Specialized metabolism plays a central role in how plants cope with both biotic and abiotic stresses in order to survive and reproduce within dynamic and challenging environments. One recently described class of plant-specific, ribosomally synthesized, and posttranslationally modified peptides are the burpitides, which are characterized by the installation of distinct sidechain macrocycles by enzymes known as burpitide cyclases. While they are found across many plant families and exhibit diver...
