Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

On the Roles of Stellar Rotation and Binarity in NGC 2423's Main-sequence Turnoff Region

The Astrophysical Journal
Research has shown that many young and intermediate-age clusters (younger than ∼2 Gyr) have extended main sequences and extended main-sequence turnoffs (eMSTOs), which cannot be adequately described by a single isochrone. The reason for the extended main

Variable stars in young open star clusters

Bulletin de la Société Royale des Sciences de Liège, 2018
We have carried out time series photometry of the some young open clusters NGC 1893, Be 59, NGC 7380, Stock 8 and NGC 281 to search for pre-main-sequence variable stars. We have detected several pre-main-sequence variables associated to the young open clusters with periods ranging from ~0.1 to ~50 days.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Investigating 16 Open Clusters in the Kepler/K2–Gaia DR3 Field. I. Membership, Binary Systems, and Rotation

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Using data from Gaia Data Release 3 and Kepler/K2, we present a catalog of 16 open clusters with ages ranging from 4–4000 Myr that provides detailed information on membership, binary systems, and rotation. We assess the memberships in 5D phase space, and

A variable star survey of the open cluster M 37 [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001
A CCD photometric study of the dense galactic open cluster M37 is presented and discussed. The majority of the analysed data are time-series measurements obtained through an R_C filter. The observations were carried out on seven nights between December 1999 and February 2000, and have led to the discovery of 7 new variable stars in the field.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Tidal Stripping as the Driver of Mass Segregation in the Young Open Cluster NGC 2422

The Astronomical Journal
We present strong evidence that mass segregation in the young open cluster NGC 2422 (age ≈84 Myr) is primarily driven by tidal stripping. Analysis of the radial mass distribution reveals a significant overabundance of low-mass stars ( M
