The supramolecular self-assembly of s-indacene-1,3,5,7(2H,6H)-tetrone (INDO4) on Ag(111), Ag(100) and Ag(110) surfaces was studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Four similar brickwall-type phases were found and in two of them the molecules appeared with distinct alternating contrast. The origin of this effect is discussed in terms of molecular adaptation.

The thrombolytic protease tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is expressed in the CNS, where it regulates diverse functions including neuronal plasticity, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain-barrier integrity. However, its role in different brain regions such as the substantia nigra (SN) is largely unexplored. In this study, we characterize tPA expression, activity, and localization in the SN using a combination of retrograde tracing and β-galactosidase tPA reporter mice.

Insights of cellular and molecular changes in sugarcane response to oxidative signaling.

BMC Plant Biol

January 2025

Bioinformatics Multidisciplinary Environment, IMD, Universidade Federal Do Rio Grande Do Norte, Natal, Brazil.

Significant changes in the proteome highlight essential metabolic adaptations for development and oxidative signaling induced by the treatment of young sugarcane plants with hydrogen peroxide. These adaptations suggest that hydrogen peroxide acts not only as a stressor but primarily as a signaling molecule, triggering specific metabolic pathways that regulate growth and plant resilience. Sugarcane is a crucial crop for sugar and ethanol production, often influenced by environmental signals.

Catechol redox maintenance in mussel adhesion.

Nat Rev Chem

January 2025

Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA.

Catechol-functionalized proteins in mussel holdfasts are essential for underwater adhesion and cohesion and have inspired countless synthetic polymeric materials and devices. However, as catechols are prone to oxidation, long-term performance and stability of these inventions awaits effective antioxidation strategies. In mussels, catechol-mediated interactions are stabilized by 'built-in' homeostatic redox reservoirs that restore catechols oxidized to quinones.

GGCX promotes Eurasian avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus adaption to interspecies receptor binding.

Nat Commun

January 2025

National Key Laboratory of Agricultural Microbiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, Hubei, People's Republic of China.

The Eurasian avian-like (EA) H1N1 swine influenza virus (SIV) possesses the capacity to instigate the next influenza pandemic, owing to its heightened affinity for the human-type α-2,6 sialic acid (SA) receptor. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying the switch in receptor binding preferences of EA H1N1 SIV remain elusive. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen utilizing EA H1N1 SIV in porcine kidney cells.
