摘要:Root exudates are known signaling agents that influence legume root nodulation, but the molecular mechanisms for nonflavonoid molecules remain largely unexplored. The number of soybean root nodules during the initial growth phase shows substantial discrepancies at distinct developmental junctures. Using a combination of metabolomics analyses on root exudates and nodulation experiments, we identify a pivotal role for certain root exudates during the rapid growth phase in promoting nodulation. P...

摘要:While the acute inflammatory response to harmful stimuli is protective, unrestrained neutrophil swarming drives collateral tissue damage and inflammation. Biosynthesized from omega- 3 essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, resolvins are a family of signaling molecules produced by immune cells within the resolution phase to orchestrate return to homeostasis. Understanding the mechanisms that govern biosynthesis of these potent molecules gives insight into stimulating endogenous resolution and o...

摘要:The ubiquitin ligase Anaphase- Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) and its regulatory protein Cdc20 play important roles in the control of different stages of mitosis. APC/C associated with Cdc20 is active and promotes metaphase-anaphase transition by targeting for degradation inhibitors of anaphase initiation. Earlier in mitosis, premature action of APC/C is prevented by the mitotic checkpoint (or spindle assembly checkpoint) system, which ensures that anaphase is not initiated until all chro...

摘要:Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data, susceptible to noise arising from biological variability and technical errors, can distort gene expression analysis and impact cell similarity assessments, particularly in heterogeneous populations. Current methods, including deep learning approaches, often struggle to accurately characterize cell relationships due to this inherent noise. To address these challenges, we introduce scAMF (Single-cell Analysis via Manifold Fitting), a framework designe...

摘要:The Caenorhabditis elegans HMP-2/HMP-1 complex, akin to the mammalian /3-catenin- a-catenin complex, serves as a critical mechanosensor at cell-cell adherens junctions, transducing tension between HMR-1 (also known as cadherin in mammals) and the actin cytoskeleton. Essential for embryonic development and tissue integrity in C. elegans, this complex experiences tension from both internal actomyosin contractility and external mechanical microenvironmental perturbations. While offering a valuabl...

摘要:Utilizing molecular dynamics and free energy perturbation, we examine the relative binding affinity of several covalent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon- DNA (PAHDNA) adducts at the central adenine of NRAS codon-61, a mutational hotspot implicated in cancer risk. Several PAHs classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as probable, possible, or unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity are found to have greater binding affinity than the known carcinogen, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). van...

摘要:Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to value- added fuels and chemicals is of great importance to carbon neutrality but suffers from an activity-selectivity trade- off, leading to limited catalytic performance. Herein, the ZnFeAlO4 + SAPO-34 composite catalyst was designed, which can simultaneously achieve a CO2 conversion of 42%, a CO selectivity of 50%, and a C2-C4= selectivity of 83%, resulting in a C2-C4= yield of almost 18%. This superior catalytic performance was found to be from the presence...

摘要:Succinic acid (SA), a dicarboxylic acid of industrial importance, can be efficiently produced by metabolically engineered Mannheimia succiniciproducens. Although the importance of magnesium (Mg2+) ion on SA production has been evident from our previous studies, the role of Mg2+ ion remains largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the impact of Mg2+ ion on SA production and developed a hyper- SA producing strain of M. succiniciproducens by reconstructing the Mg2+ ion transport system....

摘要:This study reports the earliest directly dated occurrence of archaeological wheat and cotton in the humid forests of West Africa. These are the first archaeobotanical results from the medieval urban center of Ile- Ife, southwestern Nigeria, best known for its famous artworks. Both wheat and cotton likely spread through trans- Saharan trade networks that laid the foundation for later European trade systems. Forty- eight (48) grains of free- threshing wheat (Triticum aestivum/durum) represent th...
