The Diverse AAA+ Machines that Repair Inhibited Rubisco Active Sites by Mueller-Cajar, Oliver

“…This highly conserved catalyst has an almost universal propensity to non-productively interact with its substrate ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, leading to the formation of dead-end inhibited complexes. In diverse autotrophic organisms this tendency has been counteracted by the recruitment of dedicated AAA+ (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) proteins that all use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to remodel inhibited Rubisco active sites leading to release of the inhibitor. …”

Erythroid differentiation enhances RNA mis-splicing in SF3B1-mutant myelodysplastic syndromes with ring sideroblasts by Moura, PL, Mortera Blanco, T, Hofman, IJ, Todisco, G, Kretzschmar, WW, Björklund, A-C, Creignou, M, Hagemann-Jensen, M, Ziegenhain, C, Cabrerizo Granados, D, Barbosa, I, Walldin, G, Jansson, M, Ashley, N, Mead, AJ, Lundin, V, Dimitriou, M, Yoshizato, T, Woll, PS, Ogawa, S, Sandberg, R, Jacobsen, S-EW, Hellström-Lindberg, E

“…Overall, this characterization of erythropoiesis in <i>SF3B1</i>^mt RS provides a resource for studying MDS-RS and uncovers insights into the unexpectedly active biology of the “dead-end” RS.</p> <p><strong>Significance:</strong> Ring sideroblast isolation combined with state-of-the-art multiomics identifies survival mechanisms underlying <i>SF3B1</i>-mutant erythropoiesis and establishes an active role for erythroid differentiation and ring sideroblasts themselves in <i>SF3B1</i>-mutant myelodysplastic syndrome pathogenesis.…”

Optimizing the operation of direct-flow hollow fibre filtration by Xu, Q

“…Such filtration is achieved by efficiently capping one end of the crossflow device and it is usually operated in dead-end mode with regular intermittent backwash. Direct-flow filtration therefore forms the dominant method for producing potable water from ground or surface water. …”

Seroprevalence screening for the west nile virus in Malaysia's Orang Asli population by Marlina, Suria, Radzi, Siti Fatimah Muhd, Lani, Rafidah, Khor, Chee Sieng, Rahim, Nurul Farhana Abdul, Hassan, Habibi, Chang, Li Yen, AbuBakar, Sazaly, Zandi, Keivan

“…WNV is preserved in the environment through cyclic transmission, with mosquitoes, particularly Culex species, serving as a vector, birds as an amplifying host and humans and other mammals as dead-end hosts.

Effect of triple-tail surfactant on the morphological properties of polyethersulfone-based membrane and its antifouling ability by Mohamat, Rosmanisah, Abu Bakar, Suriani, Muqoyyanah, Muqoyyanah, Mohamed, Azmi, Aqmar Mohamad Kamal, Siti Nur Elida, Othman, Mohd Hafiz Dzarfan, Rohani, Rosiah, Mamat, Mohamad Hafiz, Ahmad, Mohd Khairul, Kusuma, Hamdan Hadi, Astuti, Budi

“…It is worth noting that the utilization of triple-tail surfactant obviously enhanced membrane’s morphology in which PES/GOTC14/TiO2 NF membrane showed the highest hydrophilicity as shown by its lowest contact angle (68.98°). According to dead-end cell measurement, higher pure water flux (200.265 L/m2·h) and dye rejection (86.58%) were also obtained by PES/GOTC14/TiO2 NF membrane compared to other fabricated membranes. …”
