Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Current patch test results with the European baseline series and extensions to it from the 'European Surveillance System on Contact Allergy' network, 2007-2008 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: The pattern of contact sensitization to the supposedly most important allergens assembled in the baseline series differs between countries, presumably at least partly because of exposure differences. Objectives.

Analysis of SF6 contact based on QPSO-SVR

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2023
In the condition evaluation of the high-voltage SF6 circuit breaker, contact resistance and mass loss have a significant impact on the arc contact. To that end, this paper proposes a method based on quantum particle swarm optimization and support vector ...

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.

Contact Pressure and Shear Stress Analysis on Conforming Contact Problem

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2008
Two methods to solve a conforming contact problem are proposed. First method is general and can be applicable to the contact case between elastic arbitrary shape bodies.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Finite element based surface roughness study for ohmic contact of microswitches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Finite element method (FEM) is used to model ohmic contact in microswitches. A determinist approach is adopted, including atomic force microscope (AFM) scanning real contact surfaces and generating rough surfaces with three-dimensional mesh.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Computerized generation and simulation of meshing of a novel crown gear coupling avoiding edge contact

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2019
To avoid the occurrence of the hub tooth tip edge contact with the sleeve tooth root flank and the sleeve tooth tip edge contact with the hub tooth root flank, a novel crown gear coupling composed of a hub with profile crowning, longitude crowning, and ...
