Development of visible light‐sensitive human neuropsin (OPN5) via single amino acid substitution
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The present study determines a key amino acid residue, Lys91, for defining UV sensitivity of human OPN5. Heterologous action spectroscopy of the wild type and K91 mutants of OPN5 in HEK293T cells reveals that substitution of Lys91 with neutral (alanine) or acidic amino acids (glutamic or aspartic acids) causes substantial shifts in spectral sensitivity

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

Evolutionary radiations in the species-rich mountain genus Saxifraga L.
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background A large number of taxa have undergone evolutionary radiations in mountainous areas, rendering alpine systems particularly suitable to study the extrinsic and intrinsic factors that have shaped diversification patterns in plants.

Non-Abelian Berry transport, spin coherent states, and Majorana points
, 2011 We consider the adiabatic evolution of Kramers degenerate pairs of spin states in a half-integer spin molecular magnet as the molecule is slowly rotated.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.C‐mannosylation is a unique form of protein glycosylation. In this study, we demonstrated that ADAMTS1 is C‐mannosylated at Trp562 and Trp565 in human testicular germ cell tumor NEC8 cells. We found that C‐mannosylation of ADAMTS1 is essential for its secretion, processing, enzymatic activity, and ability to promote vasculogenic mimicry. These findings

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background The classification of closely related plants is not straightforward. These morphologically similar taxa frequently maintain their inter-hybridization potential and share ancestral polymorphisms as a consequence of their recent divergence ...

Dynamic density functional theory versus Kinetic theory of simple fluids
, 2010 By combining methods of kinetic and density functional theory, we present a description of molecular fluids which accounts for their microscopic structure and thermodynamic properties as well as for the hydrodynamic behavior. We focus on the evolution of

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Arabidopsis mutants hls1 hlh1 and amp1 lamp1 exhibit pleiotropic developmental phenotypes. Although the functions of the causative genes remain unclear, they act in the same genetic pathway and are thought to generate non‐cell‐autonomous signals.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease affecting motor neurons. Individuals with SMA experience mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of an antioxidant and neuroprotective substance, ergothioneine (ERGO), on an SMNΔ7 mouse model of SMA.

Exploring the phylogeography of a hexaploid freshwater fish by RAD sequencing
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 The KwaZulu‐Natal yellowfish (Labeobarbus natalensis) is an abundant cyprinid, endemic to KwaZulu‐Natal Province, South Africa. In this study, we developed a single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset from double‐digest restriction site‐associated DNA (
