    Abstract Previous research has demonstrated that caffeinated beverage consumption predicts alcohol consumption among early adolescents. This study aimed to investigate this association in two ways: (1) by examining if this association remained significant once other established risk factors for alcohol were adjusted for statistically; and (2) by considering three possible moderators of this association: gender, sensation-seeking, and parental monitoring. Data from the Camden Youth Development Study, a longitudinal, community-based study of middle-school students, were used. Youth were initially assessed in 6th and 7th grade and followed-up 16 months later. Self-reports of frequency of energy drink, coffee, and alcohol consumption, as well as sensation-seeking, perceived peer and best friend alcohol use, alcohol expectancies, and parental monitoring, were used. Results indicated that both energy drink and coffee consumption predicted later alcohol consumption, even after adjusting for other risk factors for alcohol consumption. Parental monitoring was a significant moderator of this link, such that youth who consumed energy drinks and reported low parental monitoring were particularly at risk for later alcohol consumption. These findings indicate that the link between earlier caffeine consumption and later alcohol consumption is not simply due to the co-occurrence of caffeine consumption with other risk factors for alcohol use. In addition, risk associated with early energy drink consumption appears to be particularly pronounced for youth in families characterized by low parental monitoring.

    Abstract Copalyl diphosphate synthase from Penicillium fellutanum (PfCPS) is an assembly-line terpene synthase that contains both prenyltransferase and class II cyclase activities. The prenyltransferase catalyzes processive chain elongation reactions using dimethylallyl diphosphate and three equivalents of isopentenyl diphosphate to yield geranylgeranyl diphosphate, which is then utilized as a substrate by the class II cyclase domain to generate copalyl diphosphate. Here, we report the 2.81 Å-resolution cryo-EM structure of the hexameric prenyltransferase of full-length PfCPS, which is surrounded by randomly splayed-out class II cyclase domains connected by disordered polypeptide linkers. The hexamer can be described as a trimer of dimers; surprisingly, one of the three dimer-dimer interfaces is separated to yield an open hexamer conformation, thus breaking the D3 symmetry typically observed in crystal structures of other prenyltransferase hexamers such as wild-type human GGPP synthase (hGGPPS). Interestingly, however, an open hexamer conformation was previously observed in the crystal structure of D188Y hGGPPS, apparently facilitated by hexamer-hexamer packing in the crystal lattice. The cryo-EM structure of the PfCPS prenyltransferase hexamer is the first to reveal that an open conformation can be achieved even in the absence of a point mutation or interaction with another hexamer. Even though PfCPS octamers are not detected, we suggest that the open hexamer conformation represents an intermediate in the hexamer-octamer equilibrium for those prenyltransferases that do exhibit oligomeric heterogeneity.

    Abstract Introduction: Sleep and sleep-related problems are associated with alcohol use and related problems among adults. However, existing research on associations between sleep and alcohol use among early adolescents is minimal, and potential individual and family factors that may affect this association remain largely unexplored. We examined potential associations between frequency of alcohol use and initial insomnia, subjective daytime sleepiness, sleep irregularity, and disturbed sleep among a low-income, ethnic minority sample of early adolescents; we also considered whether psychopathology symptoms and/or parental monitoring accounted for any associations found.
    Methods: 127 youth who participated in the Camden Youth Development Study (64 male; mean age=13.2; 71% Hispanic, 32% African-American) were assessed using self-report measures of sleep, alcohol use, psychopathology symptoms (depressive and conduct disorder), and parental monitoring; in addition, teacher reports of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder were used.
    Results: Initial insomnia and daytime sleepiness (but not sleep irregularity or disturbed sleep) were associated with frequency of alcohol use. The association between initial insomnia and alcohol use remained significant when each form of psychopathology and parental monitoring were adjusted for.
    Conclusions: Among early adolescents, frequency of alcohol use is associated with initial insomnia, even once symptoms of psychopathology and family environment (parental monitoring) are adjusted for. Longitudinal research investigating the direction of this effect and other possible mediators and moderators would be useful in developing preventative and treatment interventions.

    Abstract This study examined whether urgency, a disposition to rash action under conditions of strong emotion, moderates associations between internalizing symptoms and alcohol use and related expectancies. Data from the Camden Youth Development Study, a longitudinal, community-based study of early adolescents (N = 144, mean age at intake = 11.9 years; 65% Hispanic, 30% African-American; 50% male), were used. Self-report questionnaire measures of depressive symptoms, social and generalized anxiety symptoms, urgency, alcohol use, and alcohol expectancies were used. Mixed models were used to examine the effects of internalizing symptoms, urgency, and their interaction on alcohol use and expectancy trajectories over time. Depressive symptoms interacted with urgency such that youth with high levels of both tended to have elevated levels of global positive alcohol expectancies. Social anxiety symptoms interacted with urgency to be associated with increasing levels of social behavior alcohol expectancies such that youth with high levels of both tended to experience particular increases in these expectancies over time. Generalized anxiety was not found to be associated with alcohol-related constructs. Therefore, high levels of urgency combine with depressive and social anxiety symptoms to be associated with particularly increased risk for alcohol expectancies that are associated with later alcohol use and problems, indicating particular risk for youth with these combinations of personality traits and psychopathology symptoms.
