Mechanisms of Yersinia YopO kinase substrate specificity by Lee, Wei Lin, Singaravelu, Pavithra, Wee, Sheena, Xue, Bo, Ang, Khay Chun, Gunaratne, Jayantha, Grimes, Jonathan M., Swaminathan, Kunchithapadam, Robinson, Robert C.

“…Using artificial substrates we clarified YopO’s substrate length requirements and its phosphorylation consensus sequence. These findings provide fresh insight into the mechanism of the YopO kinase and demonstrate that YopO executes a specific strategy targeting actin-modulating proteins, across multiple functionalities, to compete for control of their native phospho-signaling, thus hampering the cytoskeletal processes required for macrophage phagocytosis.…”

Modeling the change of beach profile under tsunami waves : a comparison of selected sediment transport models by Li, Linlin, Huang, Zhenhua

“…For real tsunamis, high suspended sediment concentration may occur, and density stratification and hindered settling effect play an important role; therefore, Delft3D, with both hindered settling and density stratification being considered, may perform better than XBeach. The findings reported here will be useful for researchers and practitioners working on tsunami hazard mitigation.…”
