AS‐pHopt: An Optimal pH Prediction Model Enhanced by Active Site of Enzymes

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
To address the low accuracy of enzyme optimal pH (pHopt) prediction, this study develops active site‐based pHopt (AS‐pHopt), a prediction model enhanced by active site information and pseudo‐label prediction. Integrating key structural and physicochemical features affecting enzyme pHopt, AS‐pHopt uses Evolutionary Scale Modeling (ESM)‐2 with active ...

Neuronal Activity Promotes Node-Like Cluster Assembly Prior to Myelination and Remyelination in the Central Nervous System. [PDF]

Glia
Ronzano et al. show that neuronal activity promotes node‐like cluster (NLC) formation before (re)myelination by regulating β1Nav and Nav1.1, which are essential for NLC assembly. This may represent an intermediate step in activity‐driven myelination and contribute to the regulation of axonal conduction.

Phototriggered Morphological and Compositional Change of UGGAA Repeat RNA Foci by Photoswitchable RNA‐Binding Ligand

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
We here developed a molecular tool for the optical control of UGGAA repeat RNA foci, a pathological hallmark of spinocerebellar ataxia type 31 (SCA31). The photoswitchable RNA‐binding ligand enabled reversible control of the RNA foci. UV irradiation induced the growth of the RNA foci, while subsequent visible light irradiation dissolved the structure ...

An elastic segment of the whisker shaft enables coding of the whisking phase via whisker torsion in rats and mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
An elastic segment was found in the basal part of the whisker shaft in rats and mice. Application of force to the whisker bulb of isolated follicles caused bending and twisting of this segment. Active whisker movements deform this segment, causing whisker shaft deflection and selective activation of mechanoreceptors at different phases of whisking ...
