摘要:Ligand- induced conformational changes are critical to the function of many membrane proteins and arise from numerous intramolecular interactions. In the photocycle of the model membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin (bR), absorption of a photon by retinal triggers a conformational cascade that results in pumping a proton across the cell membrane. While decades of spectroscopy and structural studies have probed this photocycle in intricate detail, changes in intramolecular energetics that underlie...

摘要:Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) mediate excitatory signals between cells by binding neurotransmitters and conducting cations across the cell membrane. In the mammalian brain, most of these signals are mediated by two types of iGluRs: AMPA and NMDA (i.e. iGluRs sensitive to 2- amino - 3- (5- methyl- 3- oxo-1,2- oxazol- 4- yl)propanoic acid and N- methyl - D- aspartic acid, respectively). Delta - type iGluRs of mammals also form neurotransmitter- binding channels in the cell membrane, bu...

摘要:Intrathecal synthesis of central nervous system (CNS)- reactive autoantibodies is observed across patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE), who show multiple residual neurobehavioral deficits and relapses despite immunotherapies. We leveraged two common forms of AE, mediated by leucine-rich glioma inactivated - 1 (LGI1) and contactin- associated protein - like 2 (CASPR2) antibodies, as human models to comprehensively reconstruct and profile cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) B cell receptor (BCR) cha...

摘要:The Earth's radiative cooling is a key driver of climate. Determining how it is affected by greenhouse gas concentration is a core question in climate -change sciences. Due to the complexity of radiative transfer processes, current practices to estimate this cooling require the development and use of a suite of radiative transfer models whose accuracy diminishes as we move from local, instantaneous estimates to global estimates over the whole globe and over long periods of time (decades). Here...

摘要:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents. Fusion- negative RMS (FN- RMS) accounts for more than 80% of all RMS cases. The long- term event- free survival rate for patients with high- grade FN- RMS is below 30%, highlighting the need for improved therapeutic strategies. CD73 is a 5 ' ectonucleotidase that hydrolyzes AMP to adenosine and regulates the purinergic signaling pathway. We found that CD73 is elevated in FN- RMS tumors that expre...

摘要:Involuntary displacement from conflict and other causes leads to clustering of refugees and internally displaced people, often in long-term settlements. Within refugee-hosting countries, refugee settlements are frequently located in isolated and remote areas, characterized by poor-quality land and harsh climatic conditions. Yet, the exposure of refugee settlements to climatic events is underresearched. In this article, we study the exposure of the 20 largest refugee settlements worldwide to ex...

摘要:What explains human consequences of weather-related disaster? Here, we explore how core socioeconomic, political, and security conditions shape flood-induced displacement worldwide since 2000. In-sample regression analysis shows that extreme displacement levels are more likely in contexts marked by low national income levels, nondemocratic political systems, high local economic activity, and prevalence of armed conflict. The analysis also reveals large residual differences across continents, w...

摘要:alpha-, beta-, and gamma-Synuclein are intrinsically disordered proteins implicated in physiological processes in the nervous system of vertebrates. alpha-synuclein (alpha Syn) is the amyloido-genic protein associated with Parkinson's disease and certain other neurodegenerative disorders. Intensive research has focused on the mechanisms that cause alpha Syn to form amyloid structures, identifying its NAC region as being necessary and sufficient for amyloid assembly. Recent work has shown that ...

摘要:Controlled interaction between localized and delocalized solid -state spin systems offers a compelling platform for on -chip quantum information processing with quantum spintronics. Hybrid quantum systems (HQSs) of localized nitrogen- vacancy (NV) centers in diamond and delocalized magnon modes in ferrimagnets-systems with naturally commensurate energies-have recently attracted significant attention, especially for interconnecting isolated spin qubits at length- scales far beyond those set by ...
