Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Supersymmetry Breaking: Models of Gauge Mediation with Gauge Messengers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
With the start of the LHC, it becomes increasingly important to understand the experimental signatures that discriminate different extensions of the standard model. Supersymmetry (SUSY), in particular the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM),

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Salmonella enterica serovar typhi limits the potency of typhoid toxin and ADP‐ribosylating toxin AB to establish a persistent infection

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The two catalytic subunits of typhoid toxin dissociate from the holotoxin in the ER of an intoxicated cell, but only CdtB exits the ER to generate immunosuppressive effects. PltA is retained in the ER and sequestered from its cytosolic target, thus allowing the anti‐inflammatory effects of CdtB to promote intestinal colonization.

High-sensitive mechanical response in metal–insulator nanogranular films with large gauge factor

open access: yesScientific Reports
Metal strain gauges have been employed for strain and stress measurements for more than 50 years, given their low cost and ease of implementation. However, they face challenges in achieving high sensitivity and miniaturization from the millimeter to the ...

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

Genetic dissection of human ABCE1 in yeast reveals separable requirements for ribosome recycling and suppression of aberrant reinitiation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human ABCE1 cannot functionally replace its yeast ortholog. Yeast–human chimera analysis identified NBD1 as a major interspecies barrier. Genetic screening yielded hABCE1 revertants that rescue yeast viability but fail to suppress aberrant translation reinitiation in the 3′ UTR.

Shortening the gauge argument [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The ``gauge argument'' is often used to `deduce' interactions from a symmetry requirement. A transition---whose justification can take some effort---from global to local transformations is typically made at the beginning of the argument.

LOCAL REINFORCEMENT EFFECT OF A STRAIN GAUGE INSTALLATION ON LOW MODULUS MATERIALS

open access: yes, 2005
The reinforcement effect of electrical resistance strain gauges is well documented in the technical literature. In this paper the local reinforcement effect in tension is studied by using a simple theoretical model by considering a strain gauge mounted ...

Force calibration of tension meter for measuring static tensions of AGTD parts at temperatures up to 700 °C

open access: yesАвіаційно-космічна техніка та технологія
Strain gauges are used in the measurement of surface parameters of engine parts to evaluate advanced materials and components, including gas turbines, and to provide experimental validation of computational models.
