摘要:Pyrenoids are microcompartments that are universally found in the photosynthetic plastids of various eukaryotic algae. They contain ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and play a pivotal role in facilitating CO2 assimilation via CO2- concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). Recent investigations involving model algae have revealed that pyrenoid- associated proteins participate in pyrenoid biogenesis and CCMs. However, these organisms represent only a small part of algal lineages...

摘要:NOVA1 is a neuronal RNA- binding protein identified as the target antigen of a rare autoimmune disorder associated with cancer and neurological symptoms, termed paraneoplastic opsoclonus- myoclonus ataxia. Despite the strong association between NOVA1 and cancer, it has been unclear how NOVA1 function might contribute to cancer biology. In this study, we find that NOVA1 acts as an oncogenic factor in a GBM (glioblastoma multiforme) cell line established from a patient. Interestingly, NOVA1 and ...

摘要:In the Stone Age, the collection of specific rocks was the first step in tool making. Very little is known about the choices made during tool - stone acquisition. Were choices governed by the knowledge of, and need for, specific properties of stones? Or were the collected raw materials a mere by- product of the way people moved through the landscape? We investigate these questions in the Middle Stone Age (MSA) of southern Africa, analyzing the mechanical properties of tool- stones used at the ...

摘要:Translocation of cytoplasmic molecules to the plasma membrane is commonplace in cell signaling. Membrane localization has been hypothesized to increase intermolecular association rates; however, it has also been argued that association should be faster in the cytosol because membrane diffusion is slow. Here, we directly compare an identical association reaction, the binding of complementary DNA strands, in solution and on supported membranes. The measured rate constants show that for a 10-mu m...

摘要:Metformin is the first - line treatment for type II diabetes patients and a pervasive pollutant with more than 180 million kg ingested globally and entering wastewater. The drug's direct mode of action is currently unknown but is linked to effects on gut microbiomes and may involve specific gut microbial reactions to the drug. In wastewater treatment plants, metformin is known to be transformed by microbes to guanylurea, although genes encoding this metabolism had not been elucidated. In the p...

摘要:In observational studies of discrimination, the most common statistical approaches consider either the rate at which decisions are made (benchmark tests) or the success rate of those decisions (outcome tests). Both tests, however, have well-known statistical limitations, sometimes suggesting discrimination even when there is none. Despite the fallibility of the benchmark and outcome tests individually, here we prove a surprisingly strong statistical guarantee: Under a common nonparametric assu...

摘要:Real - time characterization of microresonator dynamics is important for many applications. In particular, it is critical for near - field sensing and understanding light-matter interactions. Here, we report camera- facilitated imaging and analysis of standing wave patterns in optical ring resonators. The standing wave pattern is generated through bidirectional pumping of a microresonator, and the scattered light from the microresonator is collected by a short - wave infrared (SWIR) camera. Th...

摘要:Intestinal epithelial expression of the tight junction protein claudin- 2, which forms paracellular cation and water channels, is precisely regulated during development and in disease. Here, we show that small intestinal epithelial claudin- 2 expression is selectively upregulated in septic patients. Similar changes occurred in septic mice, where claudin- 2 upregulation coincided with increased flux across the paracellular pore pathway. In order to define the significance of these changes, seps...

摘要:African swine fever, one of the major viral diseases of swine, poses an imminent threat to the global pig industry. The high - efficient replication of the causative agent African swine fever virus (ASFV) in various organs in pigs greatly contributes to the disease. However, how ASFV manipulates the cell population to drive high - efficient replication of the virus in vivo remains unclear. Here, we found that the spleen reveals the most severe pathological manifestation with the highest viral ...

摘要:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been detected in almost all organs of coronavirus disease-19 patients, although some organs do not express angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2), a known receptor of SARS-CoV-2, implying the presence of alternative receptors and/or co-receptors. Here, we show that the ubiquitously distributed human transferrin receptor (TfR), which binds to diferric transferrin to traffic between membrane and endosome for the iron deli...
