摘要:Knots containing metal atoms as part of their continuous strand backbone are termed as metallaknots. While several metallaknots have been synthesized through one- pot self- assembly, the designed synthesis of metallaknots by controlling the arrangement of entanglements and strands connectivity remains unexplored. Here, we report the synthesis of metallaknots composed with Au(I)- bis(acetylide) linkages and templated by Cu(I) ions. Varying the ratio of the building blocks results in the switcha...

摘要:An N- degron is a degradation signal whose main determinant is a destabilizing N- terminal residue of a protein. Specific N- degrons, discovered in 1986, were the first identified degradation signals in short- lived intracellular proteins. These N- degrons are recognized by a ubiquitin- dependent proteolytic system called the Arg/N- degron pathway. Although bacteria lack the ubiquitin system, they also have N- degron pathways. Studies after 1986 have shown that all 20 amino acids of the geneti...

摘要:We show that integer partitions, the fundamental building blocks in additive number theory, detect prime numbers in an unexpected way. Answering a question of Schneider, we show that the primes are the solutions to special equations in partition functions. For example, an integer n >= 2 is prime if and only if (3n(3) - 13n(2) + 18n 8)M-1 (n)+(12n(2) 120n + 212)M-2 (n) 960M(3) (n) = 0, where the M-a(n) are MacMahon's well-studied partition functions. More generally, for MacMahonesque partition ...

摘要:Huntington's disease (HD) and spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) are the two most prevalent polyglutamine (polyQ) neurodegenerative diseases, caused by CAG (encoding glutamine) repeat expansion in the coding region of the huntingtin (HTT) and ataxin-3 (ATXN3) proteins, respectively. We have earlier reported that the activity, but not the protein level, of an essential DNA repair enzyme, polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase (PNKP), is severely abrogated in both HD and SCA3 resulting in accumu...

摘要:The Returning Farmland to Lakes (RFTL) project began in China following the catastrophic 1998 floods. It aims to recover flood storage capacity and mitigate flood risk to agriculture and people. This flood adaptation strategy divides the floodplain into three types of restoration polders with different flood control levels (double restoration polders, single restoration polders, and storage polders) and polders for intensive production and living (nonrestoration polders). During the substantia...

摘要:Future climate change may bring local benefits or penalties to surface air pollution, resulting from changing temperature, precipitation, and transport patterns, as well as changes in climate-sensitive natural precursor emissions. Here, we estimate the climate penalties and benefits at the end of this century with regard to surface ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5; excluding dust and smoke) using a one-way offline coupling between a general circulation model and a global 3-D chemical-t...

摘要:To respond and adapt, cells use surface receptors to sense environmental cues. While biochemical signal processing inside the cell is studied in depth, less is known about how physical processes during cell-cell contact impact signal acquisition. New experiments found that fast-evolving immune B cells in germinal centers (GCs) apply force to acquire antigen clusters prior to internalization, suggesting adaptive benefits of physical information extraction. We present a theory of stochastic anti...

摘要:Parkinson's disease (PD) is typically a sporadic late- onset disorder, which has made it difficult to model in mice. Several transgenic mouse models bearing mutations in SNCA, which encodes alpha- Synuclein (alpha- Syn), have been made, but these lines do not express SNCA in a physiologically accurate spatiotemporal pattern, which limits the ability of the mice to recapitulate the features of human PD. Here, we generated knock- in mice bearing the G51D SNCA mutation. After establishing that th...
