The R-Process Alliance: Chemodynamically Tagged Groups. II. An Extended Sample of Halo r-process-enhanced Stars

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Orbital characteristics based on Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometric parameters are analyzed for ∼1700 r -process-enhanced (RPE; [Eu/Fe] > +0.3) metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] ≤ −0.8) compiled from the R -Process Alliance, the GALactic Archaeology with ...

Distant Echoes of the Milky Way’s Last Major Merger

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The majority of the Milky Way’s stellar halo consists of debris from our galaxy’s last major merger, the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE). In the past few years, stars from the GSE have been kinematically and chemically studied in the inner 30 kpc of our ...

GTC Follow-up Observations of Very Metal-poor Star Candidates from DESI

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will significantly increase the numbers of known extremely metal-poor stars by a factor of ∼10, improving the sample statistics to study the early chemical evolution of the Milky Way ...

Very Metal-poor Stars in the Solar Vicinity: Kinematics and Abundance Analysis

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Very metal-poor stars contain crucial information on the Milky Way’s infancy. In our previous study we derived a mean age of ∼13.7 Gyr for a sample of these stars in the Sun’s vicinity.

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

The Three-phase Evolution of the Milky Way

The Astrophysical Journal
We illustrate the formation and evolution of the Milky Way over cosmic time, utilizing a sample of 10 million red giant stars with full chemodynamical information, including metallicities and α -abundances from low-resolution Gaia XP spectra.

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...
