摘要:Membrane tubulation coupled with fission (MTCF) is a widespread phenomenon but mechanisms for their coordination remain unclear, partly because of the lack of assays to monitor dynamics of membrane tubulation and subsequent fission. Using polymer cushioned bilayer islands, we analyze the membrane tubulator Bridging Integrator 1 (BIN1) mixed with the fission catalyst dynamin2 (Dyn2). Our results reveal this mixture to constitute a minimal two - component module that demonstrates MTCF. MTCF is a...

摘要:Successful regeneration of missing tissues requires seamless integration of positional information along the body axes. Planarians, which regenerate from almost any injury, use conserved, developmentally important signaling pathways to pattern the body axes. However, the molecular mechanisms which facilitate cross talk between these signaling pathways to integrate positional information remain poorly understood. Here, we report a p21- activated kinase ( smed-pak1 ) which functionally integrate...

摘要:The current paradigm about the function of T cell immune checkpoints is that these receptors switch on inhibitory signals upon cognate ligand interaction. We here revisit this simple switch model and provide evidence that the T cell lineage protein THEMIS enhances the signaling threshold at which the immune checkpoint BTLA (B - and T - lymphocyte attenuator) represses T cell responses. THEMIS is recruited to the cytoplasmic domain of BTLA and blocks its signaling capacity by promoting/ stabili...

摘要:One of the largest sex differences in brain neurochemistry is the expression of the neuropeptide arginine vasopressin (AVP) within the vertebrate brain, with males having more AVP cells in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) than females. Despite the long - standing implication of AVP in social and anxietylike behaviors, the circuitry underlying AVP's control of these behaviors is still not well defined. Using optogenetic approaches, we show that inhibiting AVP BNST cells reduces so...

摘要:Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that causes substantial mortality and morbidity globally. The venom of African spitting cobras often causes permanent injury via tissue - destructive dermonecrosis at the bite site, which is ineffectively treated by current antivenoms. To address this therapeutic gap, we identified the etiological venom toxins in Naja nigricollis venom responsible for causing local dermonecrosis. While cytotoxic three - finger toxins were primarily responsib...

摘要:How breathing is generated by the preB & ouml;tzinger complex (preB & ouml;tC) remains divided between two ideological frameworks, and a persistent sodium current (I NaP ) lies at the heart of this debate. Although I NaP is widely expressed, the pacemaker hypothesis considers it essential because it endows a small subset of neurons with intrinsic bursting or pacemaker activity. In contrast, burstlet theory considers I NaP dispensable because rhythm emerges from preinspiratory spiking activity ...

摘要:Growth is a function of the net accrual of resources by an organism. Energy and elemental contents of organisms are dynamically linked through their uptake and allocation to biomass production, yet we lack a full understanding of how these dynamics regulate growth rate. Here, we develop a multivariate imbalance framework, the growth efficiency hypothesis, linking organismal resource contents to growth and metabolic use efficiencies, and demonstrate its effectiveness in predicting consumer grow...

摘要:Sirt2 is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) - dependent protein lysine deacylase that can remove both acetyl group and long - chain fatty acyl groups from lysine residues of many proteins. It was reported to affect inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptoms in a mouse model. However, conflicting roles were reported, with genetic knockout aggravating while pharmacological inhibition alleviating IBD symptoms. These seemingly conflicting reports cause confusion and deter further efforts ...
