Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Numerical analysis of non-Newtonian nanofluids under double-diffusive regimes

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2023
In the present study, the slip velocity of a non-Newtonian fluid flowing above a continuously stretching surface with double-diffusive nanofluid is examined at prespecified values of surface temperature, while also accounting for salt concentration.

A blue sky catastrophe in double-diffusive convection

open access: yes, 2004
A global bifurcation of the blue sky catastrophe type has been found in a small Prandtl number binary mixture contained in a laterally heated cavity. The system has been studied numerically applying the tools of bifurcation theory.

Spatio-temporal linear stability of double-diffusive two-fluid channel flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Absolute instabilities in shear flows can cause a catastrophic breakdown into a new unsteady state, or even into turbulence. We demonstrate that in a double-diffusive channel flow with a viscosity stratification across the channel, rapidly growing ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Analytical and numerical stability analysis of Soret-driven convection in a horizontal porous layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present an analytical and numerical stability analysis of Soret-driven convection in a porous cavity saturated by a binary fluid. Both the mechanical equilibrium solution and the monocellular flow obtained for particular ranges of the physical ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Intricacies of coupled molecular diffusion on double diffusive viscoelastic porous convection

open access: yesResults in Applied Mathematics, 2020
The effect of cross-diffusion on the onset of convective instability in a horizontal porous layer saturated with double diffusive viscoelastic fluid is investigated.

Magnetic buoyancy instabilities in the presence of magnetic flux pumping at the base of the solar convection zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We perform idealized numerical simulations of magnetic buoyancy instabilities in three dimensions, solving the equations of compressible magnetohydrodynamics in a model of the solar tachocline.

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.
