摘要:Water is a limited resource in Arctic watersheds with continuous permafrost because freezing conditions in winter and the impermeability of permafrost limit storage and connectivity between surface water and deep groundwater. However, groundwater can still be an important source of surface water in such settings, feeding springs and large aufeis fields that are abundant in cold regions and generating runoff when precipitation is rare. Whether groundwater is sourced from suprapermafrost taliks ...

摘要:Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus who are dependent on an external supply of insulin develop insulin - derived amyloidosis at the sites of insulin injection. A major component of these plaques is identified as full - length insulin consisting of the two chains A and B. While there have been several reports that characterize insulin misfolding and the biophysical properties of the fibrils, atomic - level information on the insulin fibril architecture remains elusive. We present here an ato...

摘要:Plants and animals detect biomolecules termed microbe - associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and induce immunity. Agricultural production is severely impacted by pathogens which can be controlled by transferring immune receptors. However, most studies use a single MAMP epitope and the impact of diverse multicopy MAMPs on immune induction is unknown. Here, we characterized the epitope landscape from five proteinaceous MAMPs across 4,228 plant - associated bacterial genomes. Despite the diversi...

摘要:Our ability to fight pathogens relies on major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC - I) molecules presenting diverse antigens on the surface of diseased cells. The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) transports nearly the entire repertoire of antigenic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum for MHC - I loading. How TAP transports peptides specific for MHC - I is unclear. In this study, we used cryo - EM to determine a series of structures of human TAP, both in the absence...

摘要:Glacier flow modulates sea level and is governed largely by the viscous deformation ice. Multiple molecular -scale mechanisms facilitate viscous deformation, but it remains unclear how each contributes to glacier -scale deformation. Here, we present a model ice deformation that bridges laboratory and glacier scales, unifies existing estimates the viscous parameters, and provides a framework for estimating the parameters from observations and incorporating flow laws derived from laboratory obse...

摘要:The Asian water tower (AWT) serves as the source of 10 major Asian river systems and supports the lives of - 2 billion people. Obtaining reliable precipitation data over the AWT is a prerequisite for understanding the water cycle within this pivotal region. Here, we quantitatively reveal that the observed precipitation over the AWT is considerably underestimated in view of observational evidence from three water cycle components, namely, evapotranspiration, runoff, and accumulated snow. We fou...

摘要:Repressor element - 1 silencing transcription factor (REST) is required for the formation of mature neurons. REST dysregulation underlies a key mechanism of neurodegeneration associated with neurological disorders. However, the mechanisms leading to alterations of REST - mediated silencing of key neurogenesis genes are not known. Here, we show that BRCA1 Associated ATM Activator 1 (BRAT1), a gene linked to neurodegenerative diseases, is required for the activation of REST - responsive genes du...

摘要:Neural oscillations reflect fluctuations in excitability, which biases the percept of ambiguous sensory input. Why this bias occurs is still not fully understood. We hypothesized that neural populations representing likely events are more sensitive, and thereby become active on earlier oscillatory phases, when the ensemble itself is less excitable. Perception of ambiguous input presented during less - excitable phases should therefore be biased toward frequent or predictable stimuli that have ...
