Diatom triacylglycerol metabolism: from carbon fixation to lipid droplet degradation
ABSTRACT Diatoms are a prominent microalgae family that has attracted interest for its production of molecules of biotechnological interest. Their fatty acid profile is rich in health‐beneficial omega‐3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Furthermore, under nutrient‐deprived conditions, many diatom species, notably Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Thalassiosira ...

The Infinite Hierarchical Factor Regression Model [PDF]
We propose a nonparametric Bayesian factor regression model that accounts for uncertainty in the number of factors, and the relationship between factors. To accomplish this, we propose a sparse variant of the Indian Buffet Process and couple this with a hierarchical model over factors, based on Kingman's coalescent. We apply this model to two problems (

What have we learned from two-pore potassium channels? Their molecular configuration and function in the human heart [PDF]
Two-pore domain potassium channels (K2P) control excitability, stabilize the resting membrane potential below firing threshold, and accelerate repolarisation in different cells.

ADP-ribosylation of arginine [PDF]
Arginine adenosine-5′-diphosphoribosylation (ADP-ribosylation) is an enzyme-catalyzed, potentially reversible posttranslational modification, in which the ADP-ribose moiety is transferred from NAD+ to the guanidino moiety of arginine.

Characterization of a Fast Cycling ADP-ribosylation Factor 6 Mutant [PDF]
Studies of GTPase function often employ expression of dominant negative or constitutively active mutants. Dominant negative mutants cannot bind GTP and thus cannot be activated. Constitutively active mutants cannot hydrolyze GTP and therefore accumulate a large pool of GTP-bound GTPase. These mutations block the normal cycle of GTP binding, hydrolysis,

The Combination of PARP and Topoisomerase 1 Inhibitors Improves Radiation Therapy for Ewing Sarcoma
The addition of RT to the combination of TAL plus irinotecan (IRN), a recently evaluated clinical regimen for relapsed pediatric solid tumors, significantly prolonged survival and reduced tumor burden in EWS mouse models. This triplet therapy (TAL + IRN + RT) was feasible and yielded responses in several patients with EWS and may represent a useful ...

New Pivot Selection for Sparse Symmetric Indefinite Factorization [PDF]
We propose a new pivot selection technique for symmetric indefinite factorization of sparse matrices. Such factorization should maintain both sparsity and numerical stability of the factors, both of which depend solely on the choices of the pivots. Our method is based on the minimum degree algorithm and also considers the stability of the factors at ...

Regulation of mitochondrial DNA replication by macroD1 and ADP-ribosylation [PDF]
Mammalian mitochondria, the double-membrane-bound organelles found in most eukaryotic cells contain between 100 and several 100000 copies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).
