Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Symmetric presentations of Coxeter groups [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, 2011
AbstractWe apply the techniques of symmetric generation to establish the standard presentations of the finite simply laced irreducible finite Coxeter groups, that is, the Coxeter groups of typesAn,DnandEn, and show that these are naturally arrived at purely through consideration of certain natural actions of symmetric groups.

Comparative assessment of crystallographic and cryo‐EM models in the Protein Data Bank

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Raw data obtained by X‐ray crystallography or cryo‐EM result in experimental maps, ultimately fitted by atomic models. Although the physical principles are different, the final results can be viewed, compared, and evaluated in the same way. With cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) on track to surpass X‐ray crystallography as the preferred method ...

The C‐terminal domain of yeast Arginyltransferase1 is essential for its catalytic activity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Arginyltransferase 1 (Ate1), a eukaryotic enzyme, catalyses arginylation, transferring arginine from tRNA‐Arg to the amino terminus of the target protein. Overexpression of Ate1 in yeast is lethal and is dependent on arginylation. This study elucidates how mutations in the cofactor‐binding and active site of Ate1 and truncation of its structural ...

Maximal Subgroups of Symmetric Groups

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1996
The purpose of this paper is to give estimates on the number of conjugacy classes of maximal subgroups of the finite symmetric groups \(S_n\), on \(n\) letters in terms of \(n\). It is shown that this number is of the form \((\frac12+o(1))n\). The main work has to be done in establishing that \(S_n\) has at most \(n^{6/11+o(1)}\) conjugacy classes of ...

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.

Central limit theorem in the symmetric group

open access: yesLietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 1999
In this work we investigate a rate of convergence of sums of random variables defined on a symetric group Sn, when the probability measure on Sn is defined by the Ewens sampling formula with parameter θ. Using the results obtained by E.

S-Boxes Construction Based on the Cayley Graph of the Symmetric Group for UASNs

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Modern block ciphers can be used for designing security schemes to meet the security requirements in underwater acoustic sensor networks. The substitution boxes (S-boxes) used in block ciphers must have good cryptographic properties to resist various ...

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.
