摘要:Large cells often rely on cytoplasmic flows for intracellular transport, maintaining homeostasis, and positioning cellular components. Understanding the mechanisms of these flows is essential for gaining insights into cell function, developmental processes, and evolutionary adaptability. Here, we focus on a class of self-organized cytoplasmic stirring mechanisms that result from fluid-structure interactions between cytoskeletal elements at the cell cortex. Drawing inspiration from streaming fl...

摘要:The mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis arose in land plants more than 450 million years ago and is still widely found in all major land plant lineages. Despite its broad taxonomic distribution, little is known about the molecular components underpinning symbiosis outside of flowering plants. The ARBUSCULAR RECEPTOR- LIKE KINASE (ARK) is required for sustaining AM symbiosis in distantly related angiosperms. Here, we demonstrate that ARK has an equivalent role in symbiosis mainten...

摘要:As cells age, they undergo a remarkable global change: In transcriptional drift, hundreds of genes become overexpressed while hundreds of others become underexpressed. Using archetype modeling and Gene Ontology analysis on data from aging Caenorhabditis elegans worms, we find that the up-regulated genes code for sensory proteins upstream of stress responses and down-regulated genes are growth- and metabolism-related. We observe similar trends within human fibroblasts, suggesting that this proc...

摘要:Neuropeptides (NPs) and their cognate receptors are critical effectors of diverse physiological processes and behaviors. We recently reported of a noncanonical function of the Drosophila Glucose- 6- Phosphatase (G6P) gene in a subset of neurosecretory cells in the central nervous system that governs systemic glucose homeostasis in food- deprived flies. Here, we show that G6P- expressing neurons define six groups of NP- secreting cells, four in the brain and two in the thoracic ganglion. Using ...

摘要:Dingoes are culturally and ecologically important free- living canids whose ancestors arrived in Australia over 3,000 B.P., likely transported by seafaring people. However, the early history of dingoes in Australia-including the number of founding populations and their routes of introduction-remains uncertain. This uncertainty arises partly from the complex and poorly understood relationship between modern dingoes and New Guinea singing dogs, and suspicions that post- Colonial hybridization ha...

摘要:Natural kinesin motors are tethered to their cargoes via short C- terminal or N- terminal linkers, whose docking against the core motor domain generates directional force. It remains unclear whether linker docking is the only process contributing directional force or whether linker docking is coupled to and amplifies an underlying, more fundamental force- generating mechanical cycle of the kinesin motor domain. Here, we show that kinesin motor domains tethered via double- stranded DNAs (dsDNAs...

摘要:Tumor blood vessels are highly leaky in structure and have poor blood perfusion, which hampers infiltration and function of CD8T cells within tumor. Normalizing tumor vessels is thus thought to be important in promoting the flux of immune T cells and enhancing ant- tumor immunity. However, how tumor vasculature is normalized is poorly understood. Metformin (Met) combined with ant- PD- 1 therapy is known to stimulate proliferation of and to produce large amounts of IFN gamma from tumor- infiltr...

摘要:Mutations in the tyrosine phosphatase Src homology- 2 domain- containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) are associated with a variety of human diseases. Most mutations in SHP2 increase its basal catalytic activity by disrupting autoinhibitory interactions between its phosphatase domain and N- terminal SH2 (phosphotyrosine recognition) domain. By contrast, some disease- associated mutations located in the ligand- binding pockets of the N- or C- terminal SH2 domains do not increase basal ...

摘要:For plants adapted to bright light, a decrease in the amount of light received can be detrimental to their growth and survival. Consequently, in response to shade from surrounding vegetation, they initiate a suite of molecular and morphological changes known as the shade avoidance response through which stems and petioles elongate in search for light. Under sunlight-night cycles, the plant's responsiveness to shade varies across the day, being maximal at dusk time. While a role for the circadi...

摘要:There is evidence from both behavior and brain activity that the way information is structured, through the use of focus, can up- regulate processing of focused constituents, likely to give prominence to the relevant aspects of the input. This is hypothesized to be universal, regardless of the different ways in which languages encode focus. In order to test this universalist hypothesis, we need to go beyond the more familiar linguistic strategies for marking focus, such as by means of intonati...
