Estimating the rate of change in heavy rainfall intensity for flood control planning in Japan [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences
Heavy rainfall leading to disasters is projected to intensify and become more frequent as the average global temperature continues to rise. To manage flood risk, flood control plans that account for future climate change are urgently needed in Japan.

Response of snowpack to +2°C global warming in Hokkaido, Japan

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
The response of snowpack to a +2°C global warming relative to the present climate was estimated in Hokkaido, Japan, using a physical snowpack model driven by dynamically downscaled (DDS) data, after model evaluation.

Possible northern persistence of Siebold’s beech, Fagus crenata, at its northernmost distribution limit on an island in Japan Sea: Okushiri Island, Hokkaido

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Siebold’s beech, Fagus crenata, is widely distributed across the Japanese Archipelago and islands in Japan Sea. Similar to the northern limit of the geographical distribution of F.

Large‐Diameter DNA‐Scaffolded Nanopores Enabled by Loosely Packed Peptides for Single‐Molecule Sensing

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A nanopore composed of transmembrane peptides and a DNA scaffold that assists peptide assembly was constructed. By employing peptides containing the unnatural amino acid 2‐aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), which promotes loose packing between helices, a large‐diameter nanopore was achieved.

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

Enantioselective Synthesis of Axially Chiral Diaryl Ethers via Rhodium‐Catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] Cycloaddition

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An enantioselective rhodium‐catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition enables the synthesis of axially chiral diaryl ethers. Carbonyl coordination ensures high reactivity and regioselectivity, affording products bearing up to four stereogenic axes with good enantio‐ and diastereoselectivity.

Lipopolysaccharide uptake is augmented in lipopolysaccharide‐tolerant mouse macrophage‐like cells via increased CD14 expression

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In normal (nontolerant) cells, CD14 is crucial for both LPS uptake and LPS signaling. In LPS‐tolerant cells, in which LPS‐induced TNF‐α and IFN‐β production is suppressed, there is a dramatic increase in surface CD14 expression. The overexpressed CD14 in LPS‐tolerant cells is responsible for the enhanced LPS uptake without inducing pro‐inflammatory ...

DNA‐Induced Entropic Gain Triggers an Allosteric Switch for Biomolecular Condensation of Heat Shock Transcription Factor 1

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Hsf1 undergoes phase separation around target DNA, activating stress‐responsive transcription. DNA binding tunes conformational dynamics of Hsf1DBD, which propagates through large‐scale domain rearrangements involving DBD–IDR interactions to regulate phase separation. This hierarchical framework illustrates how local structural events at the side chain
