Conformational landscape of soluble α-klotho revealed by cryogenic electron microscopy by Nicholas J. Schnicker, Zhen Xu, Mohammad Amir, Lokesh Gakhar, Chou-Long Huang

“…Abstract α-Klotho (KLA) is a type-1 membranous protein that can associate with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) to form co-receptor for FGF23. The ectodomain of unassociated KLA is shed as soluble KLA (sKLA) to exert FGFR/FGF23-independent pleiotropic functions. …”

Divergent altitudinal patterns of arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in a mid-subtropical mountain ecosystem by Taotao Wei, Huiguang Zhang, Shunfen Wang, Chunping Wu, Tieyao Tu, Yonglong Wang, Xin Qian

“…Among the examined factors, soil properties emerged as the predominant driver of altitudinal variations in ecosystem multifunctionality, followed by AMF communities and climatic variables. These findings provide critical insights into the ecological functions and environmental adaptations of mycorrhizal fungi, advancing our understanding of their responses to environmental changes in mountain ecosystems and informing evidence-based conservation strategies.…”
