Subtilase SBT5.2 inactivates flagellin immunogenicity in the plant apoplast by Buscaill, P, Sanguankiattichai, N, Kaschani, F, Huang, J, Mooney, BC, Li, Y, Lyu, J, Sueldo, D, Kaiser, M, van der Hoorn, RAL

“…The prolonged lifetime of flg22 in sbt5.2 mutant plants results in increased bacterial immunity in priming assays, indicating that SBT5.2 counterbalances flagellin immunogenicity to provide spatial-temporal control and restrict costly immune responses and that bacteria take advantage of the host proteolytic machinery to avoid detection by flagellin having a protease-sensitive flg22 epitope.…”

800 nW 43 nV/[radical]Hz neural recording amplifier with enhanced noise efficiency factor by Liu, L., Zou, X., Goh, Wang Ling, Rajkumar, Ramamoorthy, Dawe, Gavin, Je, Minkyu

“…Based on the conventional capacitive feedback and pseudo-resistor structure, the fully differential neural amplifier employs the current-reuse technique to achieve low noise and high current efficiency, consuming 800 nA at 1 V power supply. The measured thermal noise floor is 43nV/ p Hz and the input-referred noise is 5.71 mVrms when integrated from 1 Hz to 50 kHz, leading to an NEF of 2.59. …”
