摘要:Meiosis is a form of cell division that is essential to sexually reproducing organisms and is therefore highly regulated. Each event of meiosis must occur at the correct developmental stage to ensure that chromosomes are segregated properly during both meiotic divisions. One unique meiosis- specific structure that is tightly regulated in terms of timing of assembly and disassembly is the synaptonemal complex (SC). While the mechanism(s) for assembly and disassembly of the SC are poorly underst...

摘要:Hatching failure affects up to 77% of eggs laid by threatened bird species, yet the true prevalence and drivers of egg fertilization failure versus embryo mortality as underlying mechanisms of hatching failure are unknown. Here, using ten years of data comprising 4,371 eggs laid by a population of a threatened bird, the hihi (Notiomystis cincta), we investigate the relative importance of infertility and embryo death as drivers of hatching failure and explore population- level factors associate...

摘要:The neural pathways that start human color vision begin in the complex synaptic network of the foveal retina where signals originating in long (L), middle (M), and short (S) wavelength- sensitive cone photoreceptor types are compared through antagonistic interactions, referred to as opponency. In nonhuman primates, two cone opponent pathways are well established: an L vs. M cone circuit linked to the midget ganglion cell type, often called the red- green pathway, and an S vs. L + M cone circui...

摘要:The incidence of dengue virus disease has increased globally across the past half- century, with highest number of cases ever reported in 2019 and again in 2023. We analyzed climatological, epidemiological, and phylogenomic data to investigate drivers of two decades of dengue in Cambodia, an understudied endemic setting. Using epidemiological models fit to a 19- y dataset, we first demonstrate that climate- driven transmission alone is insufficient to explain three epidemics across the time se...

摘要:Protein phosphatase-1 catalytic subunit (PP1) joins diverse targeting subunits to form holophosphatases that regulate many cellular processes. Newly synthesized PP1 is known to be transiently sequestered in an inhibitory complex with Suppressor- of-Dis2- number- 2 (SDS22) and Inhibitor- 3 (I3), which is disassembled by the ATPases Associated with diverse cellular Activities plus (AAA+) protein p97. Here, we show that the SDS22- PP1-I3 complex also acts as a thermodynamic sink for mature PP1 an...

摘要:Vertebrate cell identity depends on the combined activity of scores of transcription factors (TF). While TFs have often been studied in isolation, a systematic perspective on their integration has been missing. Focusing on FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), key guardians of immune tolerance, we combined single- cell chromatin accessibility, machine learning, and high- density genetic variation, to resolve a validated framework of diverse Treg chromatin programs, each shaped by multi-TF inputs....

摘要:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. KRAS oncogenes are responsible for at least a quarter of lung adenocarcinomas, the main subtype of lung cancer. After four decades of intense research, selective inhibitors of KRAS oncoproteins are finally reaching the clinic. Yet, their effect on overall survival is limited due to the rapid appearance of drug resistance, a likely consequence of the high intratumoral heterogeneity characteristic of these tumors. In this study, we ...

摘要:The gut microbiome plays an important role in honeybee hormonal regulation and growth, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we showed that the depletion of gut bacteria resulted in reduced expression of insulin- like peptide gene (ilp) in the head, accompanied by metabolic syndromes resembling those of Type 1 diabetes in humans: hyperglycemia, impaired lipid storage, and decreased metabolism. These symptoms were alleviated by gut bacterial inoculation. Gut metabolite prof...

摘要:Multidimensional solitons are prevalent in numerous research fields. In orientationally ordered soft matter system, three- dimensional director solitons exemplify the localized distortion of molecular orientation. However, their precise manipulation remains challenging due to unpredictable and uncontrolled generation. Here, we utilize preimposed programmable photopatterning in nematics to control the kinetics of director solitons. This enables both unidirectional and bidirectional generation a...

摘要:Elevated bacterial sialidase activity in the female genital tract is strongly associated with poor health outcomes including preterm birth and bacterial vaginosis (BV). These negative effects may arise from sialidase- mediated degradation of the protective mucus layer in the cervicovaginal environment. Prior biochemical studies of vaginal bacterial sialidases have focused solely on the BV- associated organism Gardnerella vaginalis. Despite their implications for sexual and reproductive health,...
