Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Molecular basis of cold adaptation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
peer reviewedCold-adapted, or psychrophilic, organisms are able to thrive at low temperatures in permanently cold environments, which in fact characterize the greatest proportion of our planet.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Climate change adaptation in the boardroom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Climate adaptation is recognised by many of the world’s largest businesses as a global risk and one that requires critical attention. The World Economic Forum’s 2013 Global Risks Perception Survey, identified the ‘failure of climate change adaptation and

Histamine and Cold Adaptation

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1963
SummaryRats exposed to cold (6°C) for one month show a very rapid and sustained increase in urinary histamine. At the end of this period animals develop a certain tolerance to histamine aerosols. This modification in histamine excretion in the cold possibly reflects mast cell changes and the decreased sensitivity to this amine in cold adapted animals ...

A Cold Limit to Adaptation in the Sea [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016
Temperature affects biological functions by altering reaction rates. Physiological rates usually double to treble for every 10 °C rise, and 1-4 fold encompasses normal biological functions. However, in polar marine species inhabiting temperatures around 0 °C many processes are slowed beyond the Arrhenius relationships for warmer water species.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Alpine meadow degradation regulates soil microbial diversity via decreasing plant production on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesEcological Indicators
In recent decades, alpine meadows have experienced severe degradation owing to external disturbances. Although soil microorganisms are critical for ecosystem services, little is known about their responses to soil degradation and the potential patterns ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.
