Condensates that accumulate small RNA biogenesis factors (nuage) are common in germ cells and often associate with nuclei. In the C. elegans germline, P granules overlay large clusters of nuclear pores and this organization has been proposed to facilitate surveillance of nascent transcripts by Argonaute proteins enriched in P granules. We report that co-clustering of nuclear pores and P granules depends on FG repeat containing nucleoporins and FG repeats in the Vasa class helicase GLH-1. Mutants that prevent co-clustering are fertile under standard growth conditions and only mis-regulate a minority of genes, including replication-dependent histones. Our observations suggest that association with nuclear pores, while non-essential for genome surveillance, may serve to tune mRNA flow through P granules and other nuage condensates.

In this research, the spodumene mining residue was used as siliceous material, completely replacing quartz sand, to prepare aerated concrete. The mechanical properties, pore structure, hydration characteristics of the aerated concrete, and the spodumene mining residue-cement paste interaction mechanism were studied by orthogonal experiment, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and mercury-injection test methods. The result showed that the water-cement ratio significantly affected the mechanical properties and dry density of the aerated concrete.

In this work, a series of Ni/Co-MOFs with high specific capacitances were synthesized as anode materials using a one-step hydrothermal reaction method. NaOH in different amounts (3, 4, 5, and 6 mmol) was added during the synthesis to tune the pore structure of Ni/Co-MOFs. It was found that the Ni/Co-MOF-3 with a NaOH amount of 5 mmol exhibits the largest specific surface area and pore volume, which provides more active sites for the electrochemical reaction and facilitates ion diffusion at the interface of the electrolyte solution/active material, thus increasing the capacitance of the electrode material.

Background: Heterorhabditis are important biological control agents in agriculture. Two Heterorhabditis populations, S8 and S10, were isolated from agricultural soils in the United States of America. Molecular analyses, based on mitochondrial and nuclear genes, showed that these populations are conspecific and represent a novel species of the "Bacteriophora" clade.

Nuclear pore proteins (nucleoporins [Nups]) physically interact with hundreds of chromosomal sites, impacting transcription. In yeast, transcription factors mediate interactions between Nups and enhancers and promoters. To define the molecular basis of this mechanism, we exploited a separation-of-function mutation in the Gcn4 transcription factor that blocks its interaction with the nuclear pore complex (NPC).
