Regional Heat Flow Analysis Reveals Frictionally Weak Dead Sea Fault

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The strength of faults was vigorously debated for years, but lately a growing number of studies suggest that faults are weaker than originally suggested.

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Effective stress, friction, and deep crustal faulting [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2016
AbstractStudies of crustal faulting and rock friction invariably assume the effective normal stress that determines fault shear resistance during frictional sliding is the applied normal stress minus the pore pressure. Here we propose an expression for the effective stress coefficient αf at temperatures and stresses near the brittle‐ductile transition (

Dynamic rupture simulation of 2018, Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake: role of non-planar geometry

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
The 2018, Hokkaido Eastern Iburi, Japan, earthquake is an event characterized by complexity of the rupture process and slip pattern, which may involve both reverse and strike-slip motion depending on the locations on the fault surface. We perform dynamic

Stability of pulse-like earthquake ruptures [PDF]

, 2019
Pulse-like ruptures arise spontaneously in many elastodynamic rupture simulations and seem to be the dominant rupture mode along crustal faults. Pulse-like ruptures propagating under steady-state conditions can be efficiently analysed theoretically, but ...

SmallTalk: a novel small‐sized fusion tag for peptide expression and purification

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The SmallTalk fusion tag allows for the efficient expression and purification of soluble recombinant proteins or peptides in Escherichia coli. Testing with SmallTalk‐GFP confirmed that the proteins were soluble and folded correctly, while SmallTalk‐Bin1b maintained its antimicrobial activity against various bacterial isolates. This streamlined workflow

Effects of Periodic Normal Stress Oscillations on Frictional Properties of Simulated Natural Fault Gouges Under In Situ P‐T Conditions

Geophysical Research Letters
Induced earthquakes are occasionally associated with stress oscillations resulting from periodic industrial activities. Yet, the effects of stress oscillations on fault friction under realistic subsurface conditions are not fully clear.

Recent Milestones in Unraveling the Full-Field Structure of Dynamic Shear Cracks and Fault Ruptures in Real-Time: From Photoelasticity to Ultrahigh-Speed Digital Image Correlation [PDF]

, 2020
The last few decades have seen great achievements in dynamic fracture mechanics. Yet, it was not possible to experimentally quantify the full-field behavior of dynamic fractures, until very recently.

Stress and deformation along wavy frictional faults [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2000
Locally inhomogeneous stress states are expected along faults owing to slip on geometrically irregular fault surfaces. We use an analytical model of elastic deformation along a wavy frictional fault to evaluate the variation in local stress state as a function of surface roughness, elastic modulus, slip, coefficient of friction, and far‐field stress ...

Promiscuous stimulation of HSP70 ATPase activity by parasite‐derived J‐domains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports three highly homologous yet functionally divergent J‐domain proteins into human erythrocytes. Here, we show that J‐domains isolated from all three proteins effectively stimulate the ATPase activity of both endogenous host and exported parasite HSP70 chaperones.
