Multifunctionality in dialogue
Computer Speech & Language, 2011 This paper studies the multifunctionality of dialogue utterances, i.e., the phenomenon that utterances in dialogue often have more than one communicative function. It is argued that this phenomenon can be explained by analyzing th participation in dialogue as involving the performance of several types of activity in parallel, relating to different ...

Ecological IndicatorsForests deliver multiple ecosystem functions and services (i.e. multifunctionality) of great importance to society. However, such multifunctionality capacity is threatened by global warming, especially in Mediterranean forests, which are at high risk of ...

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.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
