Dynamic Community Composition Unravels Allosteric Communication in PDZ3 [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe third domain of PSD-95 (PDZ3) is a model for investigating allosteric communication in protein and ligand interactions. While motifs contributing to its binding specificity have been scrutinized, a conformational dynamical basis is yet to be established. Despite the miniscule structural changes due to point mutants, the observed significant

Viral community composition of hypersaline lakes [PDF]
AbstractDespite their widespread distribution and remarkable antiquity no RNA viruses definitively associated with the domain Archaea have been identified. In contrast, 17 families of DNA viruses are known to infect archaea. In an attempt to uncover more of the elusive archaeal virosphere, we investigated the metatranscriptomes of hypersaline lakes ...

Marine Community Metabolomes Carry Fingerprints of Phytoplankton Community Composition [PDF]
Microscopic phytoplankton transform 100 million tons of inorganic carbon into thousands of different organic compounds each day. The structure of each chemical is critical to its biological and ecosystem function, yet the diversity of biomolecules produced by marine microbial communities remained mainly unexplored, especially small polar molecules ...

Communicating Compositional Patterns [PDF]
How do people perceive and communicate structure? We investigate this question by letting participants play a communication game, where one player describes a pattern, and another player redraws it based on the description alone. We use this paradigm to compare two models of pattern description, one compositional (complex structures built out of ...

AbstractWhen looking for a crime suspect, the police may ask an eyewitness to construct a visual likeness (‘facial composite’) of the perpetrator, to be distributed to the public via newspaper articles, television programmes, or social media. The dissemination of facial composites can have a major impact on police investigations.

Microbial Community Composition Affects Soil Fungistasis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Most soils inhibit fungal germination and growth to a certain extent, a phenomenon known as soil fungistasis. Previous observations have implicated microorganisms as the causal agents of fungistasis, with their action mediated either by available carbon limitation (nutrient deprivation hypothesis) or production of ...

Cybergenetic control of microbial community composition
The use of bacterial communities in bioproduction instead of monocultures has potential advantages including increased productivity through division of labour, ability to utilise cheaper substrates, and robustness against perturbations. A key challenge in the application of engineered bacterial communities is the ability to reliably control the ...

Composition Theorems in Communication Complexity [PDF]
A well-studied class of functions in communication complexity are composed functions of the form $(f \comp g^n)(x,y)=f(g(x^1, y^1),..., g(x^n,y^n))$. This is a rich family of functions which encompasses many of the important examples in the literature.

Community composition drives siderophore dynamics in multispecies bacterial communities
Abstract Background Intraspecific public goods are commonly shared within microbial populations, where the benefits of public goods are largely limited to closely related conspecifics. One example is the production of iron-scavenging siderophores that deliver iron to cells via specific cell envelope receptor and ...

Herbivore preference drives plant community composition [PDF]
Herbivores are important drivers of plant species coexistence and community assembly. However, detailed mechanistic information on how herbivores affect dominance hierarchies between plant species is scarce. Here, we used data of a multi‐site herbivore exclusion experiment in grasslands to assess changes in the cover of 28 plant species in response to ...
