Drought-Induced Carbon and Water Use Efficiency Responses in Dryland Vegetation of Northern China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Given the context of global warming and the increasing frequency of extreme climate events, concerns have been raised by scientists, government, and the public regarding drought occurrence and its impacts, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions.

Soft motions encoded by the fold and mediated by conserved hinge sites drive V‐ATPase allosteric machinery and autoinhibition

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Vacuolar H+‐ATPase (V‐ATPase) is a multisubunit rotary proton pump that acidifies intracellular compartments. Using elastic network models, we identified conserved hinge residues that govern its large‐scale functional motions. We show that intrinsically encoded ‘soft modes’ drive critical functional transitions, including rotary catalysis and ...

Pyrogenic conversion of rice straw and wood to biochar increases aromaticity and carbon accumulation in soil

open access: yesCarbon Management, 2021
Open field burning of rice straw besides causing environmental pollution and human health problems results in loss of organic carbon and essential nutrients.

Mitochondrial translation and coordinated cytosolic translation in metabolic homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial function depends on coordinated protein production from the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. This review highlights how cytosolic and mitochondrial translation, mRNA localization, protein import, and respiratory complex assembly are integrated to maintain mitochondrial proteostasis and function.

Assessment of district scale ecosystem health in India using multi decadal carbon and water use efficiencies

open access: yesDiscover Geoscience
Ecosystem health assessments are critical for understanding ecosystem functioning under increasing climatic and anthropogenic stress, particularly across India’s heterogeneous landscapes. Here, we present a district-scale assessment (n = 640) integrating

Modeling Microbial Adaptations to Nutrient Limitation During Litter Decomposition

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Microbial decomposers face large stoichiometric imbalances when feeding on nutrient-poor plant residues. To meet the challenges of nutrient limitation, microorganisms might: (i) allocate less carbon (C) to growth vs.

Epigenetic silencing of the liver‐specific lncRNA LUNAR promotes liver cancer progression via NOTCH activation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
LUNAR is a liver‐specific long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is highly expressed in normal liver but becomes epigenetically silenced in hepatocellular carcinoma through promoter hypermethylation. Loss of LUNAR is associated with NOTCH activation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and metastasis, whereas restoring LUNAR restrains metastatic progression ...

Stoichiometry of microbial carbon use efficiency in soils

open access: yesEcological Monographs, 2016
Abstract The carbon use efficiency ( CUE ) of microbial communities partitions the flow of C from primary producers to the atmosphere, decomposer food webs, and soil C stores.

Carbon use efficiency of microbial communities: stoichiometry, methodology and modelling [PDF]

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2013
Abstract Carbon use efficiency ( CUE ) is a fundamental parameter for ecological models based on the physiology of microorganisms. CUE determines energy and material flows to higher trophic levels, conversion of plant‐produced carbon ...

Partial FAK suppression promotes tumor growth, an effect reversed by macrophage p110δ PI3K inactivation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Partial inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) can paradoxically promote tumor growth, rather than simply producing a weaker antitumor effect than that observed with strong FAK suppression. In breast cancer and melanoma models, targeting p110δ PI3K, particularly in macrophages, counteracted these tumor‐promoting effects, highlighting the importance ...
