The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Surrogate modeling based cognitive decision engine for optimization of WLAN performance [PDF]

, 2017
Due to the rapid growth of wireless networks and the dearth of the electromagnetic spectrum, more interference is imposed to the wireless terminals which constrains their performance. In order to mitigate such performance degradation, this paper proposes

Simulation of Transient Temperature and Clearance after Shutdown of Aeroengine Based on CFD and FEA Coupled Models

Shock and Vibration
It is crucial to comprehend the heat soak phenomenon, which may result in a significant temperature increase after the shutdown followed by a gradual decrease. This could bring potential risks for the engine including oil coking.

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...
