Mammalian Tap-p15 and yeast Mex67p-Mtr2p are conserved and essential mRNA export factor complexes that transport mRNPs through the nuclear pore. Here, we report that the small subunit p15 affects the binding of the large subunit Tap to repeat nucleoporins. BIAcore measurements revealed that recombinant Tap binds with high affinity (K(d) in the nm range) to repeat nucleoporins and dissociates from them very slowly. In contrast, when recombinant Tap was bound to p15, the derived heterodimeric complex exhibited a significant lower affinity to FG-repeat nucleoporins (K(d) in the microm range). Furthermore, when recombinant Tap lacking the N-terminal nuclear localization sequences (TapDeltaNLS) was microinjected in mammalian cells, it did not shuttle; however, TapDeltaNLS with bound p15 efficiently shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm. We conclude that heterodimerization of Tap and p15 is required for shuttling of the functional Tap-p15 mRNA exporter complex.

Perovskite-organic tandem solar cells (P-O-TSCs) hold substantial potential to surpass the theoretical efficiency limits of single-junction solar cells. However, their performance is hampered by non-ideal interconnection layers (ICLs). Especially in n-i-p configurations, the incorporation of metal nanoparticles negatively introduces serious parasitic absorption, which alleviates photon utilization in organic rear cell and decisively constrains the maximum photocurrent matching with front cell.

Myocardial infarction (MI) as a consequence of atherosclerosis-associated acute thrombosis is a leading cause of death and disability globally. Antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs are standard therapies in preventing and treating MI. However, all clinically used drugs are associated with bleeding complications, which ultimately limits their use in patients with a high risk of bleeding.

The photocatalytic H production activity of polymer carbon nitride (g-CN) is limited by the rapid recombination of photoelectron-hole pairs and slow surface reduction dynamic process. Here, a supramolecular complex (named R-TAP-Pd(II)) was fabricated via self-assembly of (R)-N-(1-phenylethyl)-4-(4-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzamide (R-TAP) with Pd(II) and used to modify g-CN. In the R-TAP-Pd(II)@g-CN composite photocatalyst, the spin polarization of R-TAP-Pd(II) can promote charge transfer and inhibit photogenerated carrier recombination, as confirmed by spectral tests and photoelectrochemical performance tests.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are one of the most important classes of biologics with high therapeutic and diagnostic value, but traditional methods for mAbs generation, such as hybridoma screening and phage display, have limitations, including low efficiency and loss of natural chain pairing. To overcome these challenges, novel single B cell antibody technologies have emerged, but they also have limitations such as differentiation of memory B cells and expensive cell sorters. In this study, we present a rapid and efficient workflow for obtaining human recombinant monoclonal antibodies directly from single antigen-specific antibody secreting cells (ASCs) in the peripheral blood of convalescent COVID-19 patients using ferrofluid technology.
