We consider the anomalous, spin, valley, and valley spin Hall effects in a pristine graphene-based van-der-Waals (vdW) heterostructure consisting of a bilayer graphene (BLG) sandwiched between a semiconducting van-der-Waals material with strong spin-orbit coupling (e.g., ) and a ferromagnetic insulating vdW material (e.

While the START domain is required for TF activity, its presumed role as a lipid sensor is not clear. Here we used tandem affinity purification from Arabidopsis cell cultures to demonstrate that PROTODERMAL FACTOR2 (PDF2), a representative member that controls epidermal differentiation, recruits lysophosphatidylcholines (LysoPCs) in a START-dependent manner.

Methods: A comparative study of breast cancer patients and women without previous history of cancer was carried out. We used Type D Scale-14 as an instrument for the assessment of the type-D personality pattern and NEO-FFI for the assessment of the Big Five personality traits.
Article Synopsis
- The mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase-citrate synthase (MDH-CS) multi-enzyme complex is crucial for the Krebs cycle, enabling efficient enzymatic reactions without losing intermediates.
- The study found that substrates like NAD and acetyl-CoA promote the formation of this complex, whereas products like NADH and citrate weaken it.
- Additionally, factors such as oxaloacetate (only with acetyl-CoA), ATP, and low pH contribute to the stability and interaction of the MDH-CS complex, indicating its role in regulating the Krebs cycle based on metabolic needs.
Protein-metabolite interactions are of crucial importance for all cellular processes but remain understudied. Here, we applied a biochemical approach named PROMIS, to address the complexity of the protein-small molecule interactome in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By doing so, we provide a unique dataset, which can be queried for interactions between 74 small molecules and 3982 proteins using a user-friendly interface available at https://promis.
