The challenges of dynamic vulnerability and how to assess it

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Recent disasters have demonstrated the challenges faced by society as a result of the increasing complexity of disaster risk. In this perspective article, we discuss the complex interactions between hazards and vulnerability and suggest ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Enhanced global extreme droughts driven by the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean on decadal timescales

open access: yesiScience
Summary: In the 21st century, two record-breaking years of extreme drought coverage swept across the globe. These resulted in billions of agriculture losses and led to hunger and poverty in those developing countries.

Dam-Breach hydrology of the Johnstown flood of 1889–challenging the findings of the 1891 investigation report

open access: yesHeliyon, 2016
In 1891 a report was published by an ASCE committee to investigate the cause of the Johnstown flood of 1889. They concluded that changes made to the dam by the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club did not cause the disaster because the embankment would ...

Earth science field work: Role and status [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
This essay contends that the outstanding contributions currently being made to the earth sciences by theoretical and laboratory endeavors increase rather than decrease the need for sound field observations.

The anti‐CRISPR protein AcrIE8.1 inhibits the type I‐E CRISPR‐Cas system by directly binding to the Cascade subunit Cas11

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we present the structure of AcrIE8.1, a previously uncharacterized anti‐CRISPR protein that inhibits the type I‐E CRISPR‐Cas system. Through a combination of structural and biochemical analyses, we demonstrate that AcrIE8.1 directly binds to the Cas11 subunit of the Cascade complex to inhibit the CRISPR‐Cas system.

Integrating species-centric and geomorphic-centric views of interior least tern and piping plover habitat selection

open access: yesHeliyon, 2018
The Federally endangered interior least tern (Sterna antillarum athalassos) and threatened piping plover (Charadrius melodus) nest on emergent sandbars in several braided rivers in the USA.

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...
