We consider representative financial records (stocks and indices) on time scales between one minute and one day, as well as historical monthly data sets, and show that the distribution P(Q)(r) of the interoccurrence times r between losses below a negative threshold -Q, for fixed mean interoccurrence times R(Q) in multiples of the corresponding time resolutions, can be described on all time scales by the same q exponentials, P(Q)(r)∝1/{[1+(q-1)βr](1/(q-1))}. We propose that the asset- and time-scale-independent analytic form of P(Q)(r) can be regarded as an additional stylized fact of the financial markets and represents a nontrivial test for market models. We analyze the distribution P(Q)(r) as well as the autocorrelation C(Q)(s) of the interoccurrence times for three market models: (i) multiplicative random cascades, (ii) multifractal random walks, and (iii) the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity [GARCH(1,1)] model.

Regulation of organization and function of microtubules by the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade during plant cytokinesis.

Cytoskeleton (Hoboken)

November 2012

Division of Biological Science, Graduate School of Science, Nagoya University, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-8602, Japan.

Cytokinesis in eukaryotes involves specific arrays of microtubules (MTs), which are known as the central spindle in animals, the anaphase spindle in yeasts, and the phragmoplast in plants. In plants, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade stimulates the turnover of phragmoplast MTs, which allows the expansion of the phragmoplast that is essential for cytokinesis including the formation of cell plates. A prerequisite for activation of this cascade is the interaction between mitotic kinesin NACK1 in tobacco (HINKEL in Arabidopsis) and MAPK kinase kinase NPK1 (ANP1, 2, 3 in Arabidopsis).

Microtubules and mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling.

Curr Opin Plant Biol

December 2011

Institute of General Botany, University of Athens, GR-15784, Greece.

Subcellular signalling by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) was originally regarded as a means to regulate microtubule (MT) organization and dynamics, but with time MAPKs were assigned to broader roles concerning biotic and abiotic signal transductions. MAPKs, which regulate a broad spectrum of substrates including transcription factors and cytoskeletal proteins, belong to complex MAPK cascades, which are mainly involved in plant development and in plant stress responses. The fact that single MAPK can be regulated by more than a single MAPKKK/MAPKK pair make MAPK signalling modules versatile tools in the regulation of microtubule organization.

Plant cytokinesis occurs by the growth of cell plates from the interior to the periphery of the cell. These dynamic events in cytokinesis are mediated by a plant-specific microtubule (MT) array called the phragmoplast, which consists of bundled antiparallel MTs between the two daughter nuclei. The NACK-PQR pathway, a NACK1 kinesin-like protein and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, is a key regulator of plant cytokinesis through the regulation of phragmoplast MTs.
