    Abstract p97 is a human AAA+ (ATPase associated with diverse cellular activities, also known as valosin-containing protein [VCP]) ATPase, which is involved in diverse cellular processes such as membrane fusion and proteolysis. Lysine-specific methyltransferase of p97 (METTL21D) was identified as a class I methyltransferase that catalyzes the trimethylation of Lys315 of p97, a so-called VCP lysine methyltransferase (VCPKMT). Interestingly, VCPKMT disassembles a single hexamer ring consisting of p97-D1 domain and methylates Lys315 residue. Herein, the structures of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-bound VCPKMT and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine-bound VCPKMT in complex with p97 N/D1 (N21-Q458) were reported at a resolution of 1.8 Å and 2.8 Å, respectively. The structures revealed the molecular details for the recognition and methylation of monomeric p97 by VCPKMT. Using biochemical analysis, we also investigated whether the methylation of full-length p97 could be sufficiently enhanced through cooperation between VCPKMT and the C terminus of alveolar soft part sarcoma locus (ASPL). Our study provides the groundwork for future structural and mechanistic studies of p97 and inhibitors.

    Abstract Based on the modified embedded atom method (MEAM) potential suggested by Jin et al. (Appl. Phys. A120: 189, 2015), the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were adopted to investigate the melting transition of the FCC transition metal Ni, and in the MD simulations, the forces acting on atoms were calculated by using the newly derived formulas. We first studied the melting points of Ni samples with low-index surfaces including Ni(100), Ni(110), and Ni(111). Then, we investigated the structural properties on the surface layers with increasing temperature up to the melting points. The simulation results exhibit that with the temperature increasing, the (110) surface firstly disorders, followed by the (100) surface, while the stability of the (111) surface is maintained until near the melting point. The disorder of surface layer atoms diffuses from the surface to the inside of the crystal lattice. With the density of atoms decreasing on the surface, the premelting effect also increases, being most pronounced on Ni(110) which corresponds to the lowest surface density. This conclusion is linked with the behavior found for the BCC transition metal Fe in our previous simulation study.

    Abstract Death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) is a platform for the activation of initiator caspase in extrinsic apoptosis. Assembly of DISC is accomplished by two different types of homotypic interaction: one is between death domains (DDs) of a death receptor and FADD, and the other is between death effecter domains (DEDs) of FADD, procaspase-8/-10 and cFLIP. Recent biochemical investigations on the stoichiometry of DISC have revealed that single-DED-containing FADD exists in DISC in a substantially lower abundance than the sum of tandem-DEDs-containing components that are procaspase-8 and cFLIP. In addition, the homology models of the tandem DEDs in procaspase-8 and cFLIP show that two different interaction faces, H1-H4 face and H2-H5 face, are exposed for possible inter-molecular DED-DED interactions. These recent findings led to a proposal of the DED chain model for the interactions between FADD, procaspase-8 and cFLIP in DISC. This emerging view provides new insights on the topology of DED-DED network in DISC and furthermore on how procaspase-8 and cFLIP cluster for dimerization and proteolytic activation.

    Abstract Accurate prediction of air pollution is essential for public health protection. Air quality, however, is difficult to predict due to the complex dynamics, and its accurate forecast still remains a challenge. This study suggests a spatiotemporal Informer model, which uses a new spatiotemporal embedding and spatiotemporal attention, to improve AQI forecast accuracy. In the first phase of the proposed forecast mechanism, the input data is transformed by the spatiotemporal embedding. Next, the spatiotemporal attention is applied to extract spatiotemporal features from the embedded data. The final forecast is obtained based on the attention tensors. In the proposed forecast model, the input is a 3-dimensional data that consists of air quality data (AQI, PM

    Abstract The Arctic Ocean (AO) has a harsh environment characterized by low temperatures, extensive ice coverage, and periodic freezing and melting of sea ice, which has provided diverse habitats for microorganisms. Prior studies primarily focused on microeukaryote communities in the upper water or sea ice based on environmental DNA, leaving the composition of active microeukaryotes in the diverse AO environments largely unknown. This study provided a vertical assessment of microeukaryote communities in the AO from snow and ice to sea water at a depth of 1670 m using high-throughput sequencing of co-extracted DNA and RNA. RNA extracts depicted microeukaryote community structure and intergroup correlations more accurately and responded more sensitively to environmental conditions than those derived from DNA. Using RNA:DNA ratios as a proxy for relative activity of major taxonomic groups, the metabolic activities of major microeukaryote groups were determined along depth. Analysis of co-occurrence networks showed that parasitism between Syndiniales and dinoflagellates/ciliates in the deep ocean may be significant. This study increased our knowledge of the diversity of active microeukaryote communities and highlighted the importance of using RNA-based sequencing over DNA-based sequencing to examine the relationship between microeukaryote assemblages and the responses of microeukaryotes to environmental variables in the AO.

    Abstract Background/purpose: To investigate the virulence profiles and identify clinical and microbiological predictors of mortality in patients with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) bacteremia.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled adult patients with carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB). Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the predictors of 30-day mortality. All isolates were subjected to real-time polymerase chain reaction for virulence factors and genotyped using multilocus sequence typing.
    Results: Among the 153 patients with CRAB bacteremia, 66 % received appropriate definitive antibiotic therapy. The in-hospital and 30-day mortality rates were 58.3 and 23.5 %, respectively. Ultimately, we enrolled 125 patients with CRAB bacteremia in the analysis, excluding early mortality cases. All CRAB isolates carried bla
    Conclusions: Clinical factors such as hemodialysis due to acute renal injury and moderate to severe thrombocytopenia have a greater influence on mortality in CRAB bacteremia compared with microbiological factors.
