Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Reputation through artificial intelligence? On the effectiveness of virtual influencers as spokespersons in corporate crisis communication

open access: yesFrontiers in Communication
With virtual social media influencers, a new form of brand ambassador has established itself on social networks. In our study, we look at the extent to which they are also suitable as spokespersons after a corporate crisis.

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Uncanny valley effect: Research on the impact of digital human appearance on learners in a multi-agent collaborative learning environment

open access: yesEducational Technology & Society
The integration of large language models and digital humans in multi-agent collaborative learning creates tension between technological advancement and human-centered design.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Deviation from typical organic voices best explains a vocal uncanny valley

open access: yesComputers in Human Behavior Reports
The uncanny valley describes the negative evaluation of near humanlike artificial entities. Previous research with synthetic and real voices failed to find an uncanny valley of voices. This may have been due to an incomplete selection of stimuli.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

The effects of human-like social cues on social responses towards text-based conversational agents—a meta-analysis

open access: yesHumanities & Social Sciences Communications
Humanizing chatbots through social cues is a common strategy to increase user acceptance. However, whether and in which circumstances this strategy is generally effective is still unclear.
