Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Combined motion control of hydraulic boom based on dynamic surface adaptive fuzzy sliding mode

The Journal of Engineering, 2018
The lifting mechanism on the transfer vehicle is a common electromechanical–hydraulic system. In order to overcome the non-linear and interference that exist in the hydraulic boom combined motion process, a dynamic surface adaptive fuzzy sliding mode ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

On-line extreme learning algorithm based identification and non-linear model predictive controller for way-point tracking application of an autonomous underwater vehicle

Cognitive Computation and Systems, 2019
In most of the surveillance applications of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), very often it is intended to follow the desired horizontal way-points, where some oceanography data need to be collected.

Research on compliant configuration of hydraulic manipulator with passive following characteristic

The Journal of Engineering, 2020
To decrease the injury caused by an accidental collision between the hydraulic manipulator and human, a hydraulic rotating angle self-servo compliant robot driver joint is designed. Based on this joint, a variable stiffness passive servo-hydraulic rotary

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Small‐gain based stabilizing control for hybrid systems: Application to bipedal walking robot

IET Control Theory & Applications
This study presents a systematic methodology for developing a stabilizing controller for a general hybrid systems model. The approach is based on utilizing the small‐gain theorem as a means of constructing the Lyapunov function and analyzing the input ...
