Instability of some divalent rare earth ions and photochromic effect

open access: yes, 2015
It was shown that the divalent rare earth ions (La, Ce, Gd, Tb, Lu, and Y) in cubic sites in alkaline earth fluorides are unstable with respect to electron autodetachment since its d1(eg) ground state is located in the conduction band which is consistent

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Electron Lone-Pairs Stereochemistry and Drastic van der Waals and Pressure Effects in AsF3 from First Principles

open access: yesCondensed Matter, 2021
AsF3E as a representative of a molecular crystal has been chosen to find the precise localization of the lone pair (LP) E centroid 4s2 of As3+ and to enlighten the behavior of lone pair triplets of fluorine atoms. Starting from stereochemistry rationale,

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

open access: yesMolecular 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

Defluorosilylation of fluoroarenes and fluoroalkanes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Transformation of strong C-F bonds into C-Si bonds is an extremely useful strategy for further derivatization of organic molecules. Here, the authors report a nickel-catalyzed strategy to convert aryl fluorides into sylylated arenes while ...

Investigations of Zr(IV) in LiF-CaF2: stability with oxide ions and electroreduction pathway on inert and reactive electrodes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this work, a detailed electrochemical study of the molten LiF-CaF2-ZrF4 system is provided in the 810-920°C temperature range, allowing the determination of the reduction potential, the diffusion coefficient and the reduction mechanism of dissolved Zr(

DDX3X induces mesenchymal transition of endothelial cells by disrupting BMPR2 signaling

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Elevated DDX3X expression led to downregulation of BMPR2, a key regulator of endothelial homeostasis and function. Our co‐immunoprecipitation assays further demonstrated a molecular interaction between DDX3X and BMPR2. Notably, DDX3X promoted lysosomal degradation of BMPR2, thereby impairing its downstream signaling and facilitating endothelial‐to ...
