Continuous time crystal coupled to a mechanical mode as a cavity-optomechanics-like platform

Nature Communications
Time crystals are an enigmatic phase of matter in which a quantum mechanical system displays repetitive, observable motion – they spontaneously break the time translation symmetry.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Fractionation of nitrogen isotopes in the enzymatic deamination of alanine: an insight into the quantitative evaluation of anaerobic metabolism in ecosystems

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
Nitrogen isotope ratios of amino acids have been employed as a tool for illustrating the resource utilization of organisms and the trophic transfer between organisms in food webs.

Surface related laser induced white emission of Cr:YAG ceramic

Scientific Reports, 2021
In this work we report the white light emission in transparent Cr:YAG ceramic pellet upon irradiation with focused beam of CW infrared laser diode. It was found that this phenomenon is specifically related to interaction of laser beam with a surface of ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Parasites and low temperatures

Parasitology, 1999
SUMMARYLow temperatures affect the rate of growth, development and metabolism of parasites and when temperatures fall below 0°C may expose the parasite to the potentially lethal risk of freezing. Some parasites have mechanisms, such as diapause, which synchronise their life cycle with favourable seasons and the availability of hosts.

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

FEBS 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 ...

Control and Stabilization of Centimeter Scale Glow Discharge in Ambient Air Using Pulse-Width Modulation

IEEE Access, 2020
Re-pulsing glow discharges in atmospheric-pressure air were experimentally investigated using a push-pull generator with pulse-width modulation. Discharges were ignited as a spark-glow discharge sequence and sustained in a glow regime after ignition in a

Electron–phonon coupling in copper intercalated Bi $$_{2}$$ 2 Se $$_{3}$$ 3

Scientific Reports, 2022
We report charge and heat transport studies in copper-intercalated topological insulator Bi $$_2$$ 2 Se $$_3$$ 3 hybrid devices. Measured conductivity shows impact of quantum corrections, electron–electron and electron–phonon interactions. Our shot noise
