摘要:There is evidence from both behavior and brain activity that the way information is structured, through the use of focus, can up- regulate processing of focused constituents, likely to give prominence to the relevant aspects of the input. This is hypothesized to be universal, regardless of the different ways in which languages encode focus. In order to test this universalist hypothesis, we need to go beyond the more familiar linguistic strategies for marking focus, such as by means of intonati...

摘要:In the developing human brain, only 53 stochastically expressed clustered protocadherin (cPcdh) isoforms enable neurites from individual neurons to recognize and self- avoid while simultaneously maintaining contact with neurites from other neurons. Cell assays have demonstrated that self-- recognition occurs only when all cPcdh isoforms perfectly match across the cell boundary, with a single mismatch in the cPcdh expression profile interfering with recognition. It remains unclear, however, how...

摘要:Structural color is an optical phenomenon resulting from light interacting with nanostructured materials. Although structural color (SC) is widespread in the tree of life, the underlying genetics and genomics are not well understood. Here, we collected and sequenced a set of 87 structurally colored bacterial isolates and 30 related strains lacking SC. Optical analysis of colonies indicated that diverse bacteria from at least two different phyla ( Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria) ) can create ...

摘要:The timing of seed germination is controlled by the combination of internal dormancy and external factors. Temperature is a major environmental factor for seed germination. The permissive temperature range for germination is narrow in dormant seeds and expands during after- ripening (AR) (dormancy release). Quantitative trait loci analyses of preharvest sprouting in cereals have revealed that MKK3, a mitogen- activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade protein, is a negative regulator of grain dor...

摘要:Efficient storage and sharing of massive biomedical data would open up their wide accessibility to different institutions and disciplines. However, compressors tailored for natural photos/videos are rapidly limited for biomedical data, while emerging deep learning-based methods demand huge training data and are difficult to generalize. Here, we propose to conduct Biomedical data compRession with Implicit nEural Function (BRIEF) by representing the target data with compact neural networks, whic...

摘要:Dynamic protein structures are crucial for deciphering their diverse biological functions. Two- dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy stands as an ideal tool for tracing rapid conformational evolutions in proteins. However, linking spectral characteristics to dynamic structures poses a formidable challenge. Here, we present a pretrained machine learning model based on 2DIR spectra analysis. This model has learned signal features from approximately 204,300 spectra to establish a spectrum- st...

摘要:RNA interference (RNAi) is more efficient in coleopteran insects than other insects. StaufenC (StauC), a coleopteran - specific double - stranded RNA (dsRNA) - binding protein, is required for efficient RNAi in coleopterans. We investigated the function of StauC in the intracellular transport of dsRNA into the cytosol, where dsRNA is digested by Dicer enzymes and recruited by Argonauts to RNA - induced silencing complexes. Confocal microscopy and cellular organelle fractionation studies have s...

摘要:Intracellular bacterial pathogens divert multiple cellular pathways to establish their niche and persist inside their host. Coxiella burnetii , the causative agent of Q fever, secretes bacterial effector proteins via its Type 4 secretion system to generate a Coxiella - containing vacuole (CCV). Manipulation of lipid and protein trafficking by these effectors is essential for bacterial replication and virulence. Here, we have characterized the lipid composition of CCVs and found that the effect...
