The Dsc ubiquitin ligase complex identifies transmembrane degrons to degrade orphaned proteins at the Golgi.

The Golgi apparatus is essential for protein sorting, yet its quality control mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we show that the Dsc ubiquitin ligase complex uses its rhomboid pseudo-protease subunit, Dsc2, to assess the hydrophobic length of α-helical transmembrane domains (TMDs) at the Golgi. Thereby the Dsc complex likely interacts with orphaned ER and Golgi proteins that have shorter TMDs and ubiquitinates them for targeted degradation.

Constructing Kinematic Confidence Regions With Double Quaternions.

A spatial displacement as an element of can be approximated by a 4D rotation, which is an element of . In this way, the problem of constructing confidence regions of uncertain spatial displacements may be studied as that of constructing confidence ellipsoids in . In this light, a double-quaternion formulation of kinematic confidence regions is presented that approximately preserve the geometry of .

Irreversible Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Post Covid-19 Patients-An Institutional Prospective Study.

SARS-CoV-2 virus could damage the hearing by several mechanisms, it could damage the auditory centre in the temporal lobe and direct peripheral injury to the sensory cells of the cochlear due to neurotropism of the virus. A Prospective hospital-based observational study was carried out at a tertiary care centre for a period of 22 months from January 2021 to October 2022. A total of 100 patients were selected according to inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.

Insulin Resistance in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the readily recognised endocrine gland illnesses in women, with an incidence range from 2.2% to 26% in India. Patients experiencing PCOS experience issues involving irregular menstrual periods, hirsutism, acne, being overweight, and impotence.
