Mutually stabilizing interactions between proto-peptides and RNA
Nature Communications, 2020 The close synergy between peptides and nucleic acids in current biology is suggestive of a functional co-evolution between the two polymers. Here we show that cationic proto-peptides (depsipeptides and polyesters), either produced as mixtures from ...

The Oligo–Miocene closure of the Tethys Ocean and evolution of the proto-Mediterranean Sea
Scientific Reports, 2020 The tectonically driven Cenozoic closure of the Tethys Ocean invoked a significant reorganization of oceanic circulation and climate patterns on a global scale. This process culminated between the Mid Oligocene and Late Miocene, although its exact timing

, 2021 An early Paleozoic Proto-Tethys ocean in western Yunnan has long been postulated although no robust geological evidence has been identified. Here we investigated the recently-identified Mayidui and Wanhe ophiolitic melanges in SW Yunnan, which occurs in ...

Proto-oncogene Src links lipogenesis via lipin-1 to breast cancer malignancy
Nature Communications, 2020 Increased lipogenesis has been linked to an increased cancer risk and poor prognosis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Here we show that phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) lipin-1, which generates diglyceride precursors necessary for ...

Roles of the RET Proto-oncogene in Cancer and Development
JMA Journal, 2020 RET (REarranged during Transfection)is activated by DNA rearrangement of the 3′ fragment of the receptor tyrosine kinase gene, namely, RET proto-oncogene, with the 5′ fragment of various genes with putative dimerization domains, such as a coiled coil ...

Comprehensive single cell transcriptome lineages of a proto-vertebrate
Nature, 2019 Ascidian embryos highlight the importance of cell lineages in animal development. As simple proto-vertebrates, they also provide insights into the evolutionary origins of cell types such as cranial placodes and neural crest cells. Here we have determined

Central Asian moisture modulated by proto-Paratethys Sea incursions since the early Eocene
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2019 The establishment and evolution of the Asian monsoons and arid interior have been linked to uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, retreat of the inland proto-Paratethys Sea and global cooling during the Cenozoic.

Condensation of Rubisco into a proto-pyrenoid in higher plant chloroplasts
Nature Communications, 2020 Photosynthetic CO2 fixation in plants is limited by the inefficiency of the CO2-assimilating enzyme Rubisco. In most eukaryotic algae, Rubisco aggregates within a microcompartment known as the pyrenoid, in association with a CO2-concentrating mechanism ...

A systematic study of proto-neutron star convection in three-dimensional core-collapse supernova simulations [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 This paper presents the first systematic study of proto-neutron star (PNS) convection in three dimensions (3D) based on our latest numerical fornax models of core-collapse supernova (CCSN).
