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.

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.

Battery-Less NFC Sensor for pH Monitoring

IEEE Access, 2019
In this paper, we present a low-cost battery-less color sensor based on Near Field Communication (NFC). This system consists of a color sensor connected to a low-power microcontroller connected to an NFC chip. The energy needed to power up the chipset is

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

“ETOX pH SENSOR” AS pH MEASURING ELECTRODE

Analytical Sciences, 1991
In this paper we show that the electrode by d.c. reactive sputtering of irridiuim oxide on the solid substrates have utility for pH sensing. We named this electrode METOX pH Sensor in order to distinguish from Glass Electrode. METOX pH Sensor had linear response over a range of 0 to 14 and Nernstian slope 59.15 mV/pH. For long-term stability in aqueous

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Design of IoT-Based Smart Hydroponic Farming with Solar Energy for Sustainable and Precision Crop Production

Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Conventional hydroponic farming systems frequently encounter limitations related to unstable environmental control, suboptimal nutrient management, and strong dependence on grid-based electricity, which collectively hinder their sustainability and ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

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 ...

The pH sensor for flavivirus membrane fusion [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2008
Viruses that infect cells by uptake through endosomes have generally evolved to “sense” the local pH as part of the mechanism by which they penetrate into the cytosol. Even for the very well studied fusion proteins of enveloped viruses, identification of the specific pH sensor has been a challenge, one that has now been met successfully, for ...
