Ecomorphology and history of a recurrent evolutionary adaptation to long-distance bird dispersal in Asteraceae

Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica
Background and aims: Genera of Asteraceae, belonging to different tribes, present a repeated pattern of morphological adaptations to epiornithochory and have unique distributions (widely disjunct and/or inhabit remote islands). This pattern requires the

Multiradial (multi)filtrations and persistent homology [PDF]

, 2016
Motivated by the problem of optimizing sensor network covers, we generalize the persistent homology of simplicial complexes over a single radial parameter to the context of multiple radial parameters.

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

A general theory of the complex pronotum morphology of treehoppers in Smiliinae and its relatives (Hemiptera: Membracidae) and its applicability to other subfamilies

European Journal of Entomology
Treehoppers are characterized by exaggerated and three-dimensionally modified pronotal structures, known as "helmets". The treehopper pronotum has been studied mainly in terms of taxonomic diagnosis for over a century.

Homology, Genes, and Evolutionary Innovation

, 2014
Homology-a similar trait shared by different species and derived from common ancestry, such as a seal's fin and a bird's wing-is one of the most fundamental yet challenging concepts in evolutionary biology.

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

Proteomic Profiling of Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles for Exploring Ovarian Cancer Biomarkers

Journal of Extracellular Biology
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in body fluids and act as disease biomarkers. Emerging evidence has proven that EVs are released not only from mammalian cells but also from bacteria.

Homology 3-Spheres

Let R be a commutative ring with an identity element. By an R-homology 3-sphere we will mean a closed oriented 3-manifold M such that H* (M, R) = H*(S3, R).

The C‐terminal domain of yeast Arginyltransferase1 is essential for its catalytic activity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Arginyltransferase 1 (Ate1), a eukaryotic enzyme, catalyses arginylation, transferring arginine from tRNA‐Arg to the amino terminus of the target protein. Overexpression of Ate1 in yeast is lethal and is dependent on arginylation. This study elucidates how mutations in the cofactor‐binding and active site of Ate1 and truncation of its structural ...
