The structural basis for histone recognition by the histone chaperone nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein (NASP) remains largely unclear. Here, we showed that Arabidopsis thaliana AtNASP is a monomer and displays robust nucleosome assembly activity in vitro. Examining the structure of AtNASP complexed with a histone H3 α3 peptide revealed a binding mode that is conserved in human NASP. AtNASP recognizes the H3 N-terminal region distinct from human NASP. Moreover, AtNASP forms a co-chaperone complex with ANTI-SILENCING FUNCTION 1 (ASF1) by binding to the H3 N-terminal region. Therefore, we deciphered the structure of AtNASP and the basis of the AtNASP-H3 interaction.

Rocky desertification (RD) is a severe phenomenon in karst areas, often referred to as "ecological cancer." However, studies on RD rarely include comparative analysis of different man-land relationship areas. This lack of analysis leads to difficulties in preventing and controlling RD in local areas with complex man-land relationships.

Environmental noise is a significant public health concern, ranking among the top environmental risks to citizens' health and quality of life. Despite extensive research on atmospheric pollution's impact on mental health, spatial studies on noise pollution effects are lacking. This study fills this gap by exploring the association between noise pollution and depression in England, with a focus on localised patterns based on area deprivation.

A low-frequency broadband ring transducer driven by the flextensional structure.

The flextensional transducer (FT) is a typical low-frequency transmitting transducer that is capable of high-power operation due to its capacity for displacement amplification. This article uses the structural configuration of the class IV FT as the basis for designing a ring transducer, which is a circular structure comprising a multitude of class IV flextensional structures as well as circular acoustic radiation structures. The flextensional structure drives the circular acoustic radiation structure, which in turn generates sound waves at low frequencies.

Reliable computational methodologies and basis sets for modeling x-ray spectra are essential for extracting and interpreting electronic and structural information from experimental x-ray spectra. In particular, the trade-off between numerical accuracy and computational cost due to the size of the basis set is a major challenge, since molecular orbitals undergo extreme relaxation in the core-hole state. To gain clarity on the changes in electronic structure induced by the formation of a core-hole, the use of sufficiently flexible basis for expanding the orbitals, particularly for the core region, has been shown to be essential.

Selected configuration interaction for high accuracy and compact wave functions: Propane as a case study.

Traditionally, because of the limit of full configuration interaction, complete active space (CAS) theory is most often used to model bond dissociation and other dynamical processes where the multi-reference character becomes important. Inconveniently, the CAS method is highly dependent on the choice of active space and, therefore, inherently non-black-box, in addition to the exponential scaling with respect to electrons and orbitals. This illustrates the need for methods that can accurately treat multi-reference electronic structure problems without significant dependence on input parameters.
