Real-time capture of σN transcription initiation intermediates reveals mechanism of ATPase-driven activation by limited unfolding by Andreas U. Mueller, Nina Molina, B. Tracy Nixon, Seth A. Darst

“…On the opposite side of the DNA, the ATPase engages σN-RI within the pore of its hexameric ring. Here, we perform kinetics-guided structural analysis of de novo formed EσN initiation complexes and engineer a biochemical assay to measure ATPase-mediated σN-RI translocation during promoter melting. …”

The membrane-associated β2e-subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels translocates to the nucleus and regulates gene expression by Erick Miranda-Laferte, Katalin Barkovits, Katalin Barkovits, Svitlana Rozanova, Svitlana Rozanova, Nadine Jordan, Katrin Marcus, Katrin Marcus, Patricia Hidalgo, Patricia Hidalgo

“…It lacks transmembrane domains and exhibits both channel-related and non-related functions. Previous studies have shown that, in the absence of the Cavα1 pore-forming subunit, electrostatic interactions between the N-terminus of Cavβ2e and the plasma membrane mediate its anchoring to the cell surface. …”

Lytic coelomocyte death is tuned by cleavage but not phosphorylation of MLKL in echinoderms. by Kaiyu Chen, Sikou Shen, Zhimeng Lv, Ming Guo, Yina Shao, Chenghua Li

“…In this study, we identified a novel MLKL homolog containing a tetrapeptide recognition motif (14-LVAD-17) of inflammatory caspase from Apostichopus japonicus,which was absent of Gasdermins member by genome screening. Functional analysis revealed that AjMLKL was involved in the regulation of Vibrio splendidus AJ01 infection induced lytic coelomocyte death in a cleavage-dependent manner, but not through RIPK3-dependent phosphorylation as mammals. …”

Hydraulic Properties Within the Complete Moisture Range of Hydric Soil on the Tibetan Plateau by X. Wang, Z. L. Wang, W. Yang, R. Liu

“…This indicates that the PDI model can accurately characterize hydraulic properties across the complete moisture range of hydric soils. Analysis of samples with a low clay content and no sphagnum suggests that the intertwined, twisted, and hollow residues of herbaceous vascular tissues do not create a distinct, independent macro‐pore system. …”

Preparation of Straw Biochar by Solid Phase Activation and Its Deodorization Performance Ｒesearch by LI You-jing, LI Fen, YANG Ying, GE Bao-cai, MENG Fan-zhu

“…The results showed that the adsorption effect was best when the activation temperature was 120℃，and the material ratio was 1∶ 1 ( mass ratio) ，and the adsorption of H2S could reach 130 min. The analysis shows that the straw activated carbon reactivated by urea has a complex pore structure and the effect of doping nitrogen-containing functional groups，and these factors are conducive to the adsorption of H2S.…”
