Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

Unemployment Insurance and the Evolution of Worker-Employer\n Cooperation: Experiments with Real and Artificial Agents [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper reports the results of human subject and computational experiments designed to examine how the level of the "inactivity payments" to workers and to employers affects the evolution of cooperation among workers and employers. The related impacts

High-throughput laboratory evolution ofEscherichia coliunder multiple stress environments

open access: yes, 2017
Bacterial cells have a remarkable capacity to adapt and to evolve to environmental changes. Although many mutations contributing to adaptive evolution have been identified, the relationship between the mutations and the phenotypic changes responsible for

Promiscuous stimulation of HSP70 ATPase activity by parasite‐derived J‐domains

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports three highly homologous yet functionally divergent J‐domain proteins into human erythrocytes. Here, we show that J‐domains isolated from all three proteins effectively stimulate the ATPase activity of both endogenous host and exported parasite HSP70 chaperones.

Insights into ancestry and adaptive evolution of theMycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex from analysis of the emerging pathogenMycobacterium riyadhense

open access: yes, 2019
Current evolutionary scenarios posit the emergence ofMycobacterium tuberculosis, the deadliest bacterial pathogen for humans globally, from an environmental saprophyte through a cumulative process of genome adaptation.Mycobacterium riyadhenseis a novel ...

Applicability of mitotic figure counting by deep learning: a development and pan‐cancer validation study

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed a deep learning method for mitotic figure counting in H&E‐stained whole‐slide images and evaluated its prognostic impact in 13 external validation cohorts from seven different cancer types. Patients with more mitotic figures per mm2 had significantly worse patient outcome in all the studied cancer types except colorectal ...

Metabolic engineering and adaptive laboratory evolution enhance squalene production in Yarrowia lipolytica

open access: yes
Squalene, a multifunctional natural compound with diverse bioactivities, has significant potential in the nutraceutical and health industries. Microbial synthesis using engineered cell factories represents a sustainable alternative to conventional ...

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

Adaptive evolution of transcription factor binding affinities

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the molecular basis of gene expression evolution is a central problem in evolutionary biology. However, connecting changes in gene expression to increased fitness, and identifying the functional basis of those changes, remains challenging ...
