Sedimentation conditions and clast transport during the formation of sedimentary paleobasins in the north of Irkutsk Oblast and river network formation

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2023
Background. Changes in the composition of clastic material reflect changes in both the paleogeographic environment and clast transport paths. In turn, this indicates changes in the conditions of regional development.

Stratigraphic-Tectonic Evolution and Characterization of the Carboniferous in the Karamay–Baikouquan Fault Zone in the Northwestern Margin of the Junggar Basin, Northwest China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The northwestern margin of the Junggar Basin has a complex tectonic history, which is challenging for hydrocarbon exploration. This study highlights the structural patterns, tectonic evolution, and controlling factors of the Karamay–Baikouquan Fault Zone

A Description of the New Hybodont Shark Genus, Columnaodus, from the Burlington and Keokuk Limestones (Carboniferous, Mississippian, Osagean) of Illinois and Iowa, USA

Diversity
Bonebeds occurring in exposures of the Burlington and Keokuk Limestones (Mississippian/Osagean) along the Iowa and Illinois border (USA) contain an abundant and diverse collection of chondrichthyan remains that includes teeth, spines, denticles, and ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Paleopteran molecular clock: Time drift and recent acceleration

Ecology and Evolution
Applying BEAST v1.10.4, we constructed a Bayesian Inference tree comprising 322 taxa, primarily representing Paleoptera (Odonata and Ephemeroptera; Pterygota), Zygentoma and Archaeognatha (Apterygota; paraphyly), and Neoptera (Plecoptera; Pterygota ...

Mammillichnis monstrum isp. nov., a new sea anemone trace fossil from the Carboniferous of the Donets Basin, Ukraine

Geo&Bio, 2022
A new ichnospecies Mammillichnis monstrum isp. nov. (Domichnia) is described from turbidite sandstone in the upper part of the Mospyne Formation (late Bashkirian, Early Pennsylvanian) of southern Luhansk Oblast, eastern Ukraine.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Pseudogzheloceras—a new genus of Carboniferous nautilids (Cephalopoda) from Europe and North Africa

Geo&Bio, 2021
Analysis of morphology, stratigraphic and geographic distribution of the group of nautilid species, mainly from the Westphalian of Western Europe, and the Bashkirian and Moscovian of the Donets Basin (Eastern Ukraine) made it possible to establish a new ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
