Identification of Native Cross-Links in Bacillus subtilis Spore Coat Proteins

Journal of Proteome Research, 2021
The resistance properties of the bacterial spores are partially due to spore surface proteins, ∼30% of which are said to form an insoluble protein fraction. Previous research has also identified a group of spore coat proteins affected by spore maturation,

Social belonging: brain structure and function is linked to membership in sports teams, religious groups, and social clubs [PDF]

Cerebral Cortex, 2021
Abstract Human behavior across the life span is driven by the psychological need to belong, right from kindergarten to bingo nights. Being part of social groups constitutes a backbone for communal life and confers many benefits for the physical and mental health.

Structural Rearrangements Linked to Global Folding Pathways of the Azoarcus Group I Ribozyme [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2009
Stable RNAs must fold into specific three-dimensional structures to be biologically active, yet many RNAs form metastable structures that compete with the native state. Our previous time-resolved footprinting experiments showed that Azoarcus group I ribozyme forms its tertiary structure rapidly (tau < 30 ms) without becoming significantly trapped in ...

Reduced tendency to attribute mental states to abstract shapes in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia links with cerebellar structural integrity

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019
Theory of mind (ToM) refers to the ability to attribute mental states to others. Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by profound deficits in social cognition, including ToM.

Brain Structural Differences between Normal and Obese Adults and their Links with Lack of Perseverance, Negative Urgency, and Sensation Seeking

Scientific Reports, 2017
In order to examine the difference in brain structure between obese and normal weight individuals, and to explore the relationship between the neuroanatomical changes and impulsivity traits, this study used a voxel-based morphometry method to examine ...

Homozygous LAMC3 mutation links to structural and functional changes in visual attention networks

NeuroImage, 2019
The occipital lobe contains a substantial part of the neural machinery involved in visual perception. Mutations in the LAMC3 gene have recently been shown to cause complex bilateral occipital cortical gyration abnormalities. However, to what extent these

The links between structural and social marginalisation – social relations of young Finnish adults not in employment or education

Journal of Youth Studies, 2019
This paper focuses on the social attachments and detachments of 16- to 29-year-old young adults who are not in employment or education, and consequently not part of the sociability related to work or school.

Possible Link Between the ABO Blood Group of Bioprosthesis Recipients and Specific Types of Structural Degeneration [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020
Background Pigs/bovines share common antigens with humans: α‐Gal, present in all pigs/bovines close to the human B‐antigen; and AH‐histo‐blood‐group antigen, identical to human AH‐antigen and present only in some animals.

Crystal structures of a group II intron maturase reveal a missing link in spliceosome evolution [PDF]

Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2016
Group II introns are self-splicing ribozymes that are essential in many organisms, and they have been hypothesized to share a common evolutionary ancestor with the spliceosome. Although structural similarity of RNA components supports this connection, it is of interest to determine whether associated protein factors also share an evolutionary heritage.

Sex differences in structural organization of motor systems and their dissociable links with repetitive/restricted behaviors in children with autism

Molecular Autism, 2015
BackgroundAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is diagnosed much less often in females than males. Emerging behavioral accounts suggest that the clinical presentation of autism is different in females and males, yet research examining sex differences in core ...
