Snapshots of Motion: A Novel Structural Intermediate Reveals Conserved Dynamics in Archaeal DNA Ligases. [PDF]

Proteins
ABSTRACT We present the first x‐ray crystallographic structural evidence of an archaeal DNA ligase showing the AMP covalent adduct together with further cofactor hydrolysis, capturing a transient intermediary in the first step of the ligation reaction, triggered by the pyrophosphate hydrolysis.

Morphological and molecular evidence reveals a new species of Characidium from the Ucayali-Urubamba Piedmont, Peru, and novel molecular clades are proposed within the genus. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract A new species of Characidium is described from the Urubamba River basin, within the Ucayali‐Urubamba Piedmont ecoregion, Peru. The new species can be readily distinguished from all congeners, except Characidium cacah, Characidium chicoi, Characidium helmeri, Characidium mirim, Characidium nana, Characidium nupelia, Characidium sterbai ...

STAT6 controls the stability and suppressive function of regulatory T cells

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments, we have demonstrated that STAT6 signaling is crucial for controlling Tregs stability and suppressive function by modulating the Treg‐specific demethylated region (TSDR) methylation state of the FOXP3 gene in homeostatic and inflammatory conditions.
