Probing Electronic Wave Functions of Sodium-Doped Clusters: Dyson Orbitals, Anisotropy Parameters, and Ionization Cross-Sections

open access: yes, 2016
We apply high-level ab initio methods to describe the electronic structure of small clusters of ammonia and dimethyl ether (DME) doped with sodium, which provide a model for solvated electrons. We investigate the effect of the solvent and cluster size on

PARK(ing) time–How park deficiency affects the biological clock in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells

Luminal LPS is transported across murine small intestine by a caveolin-1 dependent endocytic mechanism induced by chronic feeding of a Western-style diet

open access: yesGut Microbes
Metabolic endotoxemia is an important risk factor for the metabolic syndrome (MetS). We report that lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are transcellularly transported from the jejunal lumen during long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) absorption via caveolin (Cav)-1 ...

Biogenesis and cytotoxicity of APOL1 renal risk variant proteins in hepatocytes and hepatoma cells

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2015
Two APOL1 gene variants, which likely evolved to protect individuals from African sleeping sickness, are strongly associated with nondiabetic kidney disease in individuals with recent African ancestry. Consistent with its role in trypanosome killing, the

Measurement of the multi-jet cross-sections with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

open access: yes, 2012
Inclusive multi-jet production is studied using the ATLAS detector for proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

RNA from fresh frozen cryosections of oil palm inflorescences is superior to FFPE sections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and fresh frozen (FF) tissue sections are valuable sources for histology and molecular studies. However, FFPE tissue sections usually provide poor quality RNA that is unsuitable for most downstream molecular ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

FoxK1 and FoxK2 in insulin regulation of cellular and mitochondrial metabolism

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Insulin signaling represses Forkhead transcription factor FoxO activity, which contributes to organismal metabolism. Here, the authors use proteomics to identify positively regulated insulin signaling targets FoxK1/K2 and demonstrate their role in lipid ...
