    Abstract Planktonic foraminifera populations were studied throughout the top 25 meters of the IODP ACEX 302 Hole 4C from the central Arctic Ocean at a resolution varying from 5cm (at the top of the record) to 10cm. Planktonic foraminifera occur in high absolute abundances only in the uppermost fifty centimetres and are dominated by the taxa Neogloboquadrina pachyderma. Except for a few intermittent layers below this level,most samples are barren of calcareous microfossils.Within the topmost sediments, Neogloboquadrina pachyderma specimens present large morphological variability in the shape and number of chambers in the finalwhorl, chamber sphericity, size, and coiling direction. Five morphotypeswere identified among the sinistral (sin.) population (Nps-1 to Nps-5), including a small form (Nps-5) that is similar to a non-encrusted normal form also previously identified in the modern Arctic Ocean watermasses. Twenty five percent of the sinistral population is made up by large specimens (Nps-2, 3, 4), with a maximal mean diameter larger than 250æm. Following observations made in peri-Arctic seas (Hillaire-Marcel et al. 2004, doi:10.1016/j.quascirev.2003.08.006), we propose that occurrence of these large-sized specimens of N. pachyderma (sin.) in the central Arctic Ocean sediments could sign North Atlantic water sub-surface penetration.

  6. Article: Is There a Positive Synergistic Effect of Biochar and Compost Soil Amendments on Plant Growth and Physiological Performance?

    Abstract The combination of biochar (BC) with compost has been suggested to be a promising strategy to promote plant growth and performance, but although “synergistic” effects have been stated to occur, full-factorial experiments are few, and explicit tests for synergism are lacking. We tested the hypothesis that a combination of BC and spent mushroom substrate (SMS) has a positive synergistic effect on plant growth and physiological performance in a nutrient-limited growing media. A greenhouse experiment with a full factorial design was conducted using mixed-wood BC (3.0 kg·m−2) and SMS (1.5 kg·m−2) (the combination was not co-composted) as organic soil amendments for the annual Abutilon theophrasti and the perennial Salix purpurea. Several measurements related to plant growth and physiological performance were taken throughout the experiment. Contrary to the hypothesis, we found that the combination of BC + SMS had neutral or antagonistic interactive effects on many plant growth traits. Antagonistic effects were found on maximum leaf area, above- and belowground biomass, reproductive allocation, maximum plant height, chlorophyll fluorescence, and stomatal conductance of A. theophrasti. The effect on S. purpurea was mostly neutral. We conclude that the generalization that BC and compost have synergistic effects on plant performance is not supported.

    Abstract During DSDP Leg 94 sediment was recovered from 22 holes at six sites situated between 37° and 53°N in the North Atlantic. Paleomagnetic, calcareous nannofossil, foraminiferal, diatom, radiolarian, and dinocyst stratigraphic studies were completed. The excellent magnetostratigraphic results, the near-complete recovery, and the abundant fossil content of the sediment allowed refinement of these stratigraphies, especially for the upper Pliocene-Holocene. Because the Leg 94 sites span middle and high North Atlantic latitudes, it is possible to use them to evaluate the synchrony of late Pliocene to Holocene datums.

    Abstract Proteasome activator 28γ (PA28γ/REGγ) is a member of the 11S family of proteasomal regulators that is constitutively expressed in the nucleus and implicated in various diseases, including certain cancers and systemic lupus erythematosus. Despite years of investigation, how PA28γ functions to stimulate proteasomal protein degradation remains unclear. Alternative hypotheses have been proposed for the molecular mechanism of PA28γ, including the following: (1) substrate selection, (2) allosteric upregulation of the trypsin-like (T-L) site, (3) allosteric inhibition of the chymotrypsin-like (CT-L) and caspase-like (C-L) sites, (4) conversion of the CT-L or C-L sites to new T-L sites, and (5) gate opening alone or in combination with a previous hypothesis. Here, by mechanistically decoupling gating effects from active site effects, we unambiguously demonstrate that WT PA28γ allosterically activates the T-L site. We show PA28γ binding increases the Kcat/Km by 13-fold for T-L peptide substrates while having little-to-no effect on hydrolysis kinetics for CT-L or C-L substrates. Furthermore, mutagenesis and domain swaps of PA28γ reveal that it does not select for T-L peptide substrates through either the substrate entry pore or the distal intrinsically disordered region. We also show that a previously reported point mutation can functionally switch PA28γ from a T-L activating to a gate-opening activator in a mutually exclusive fashion. Finally, using cryogenic electron microscopy, we visualized the PA28γ-proteasome complex at 4.3 Å and confirmed its expected quaternary structure. The results of this study provide unambiguous evidence that PA28γ can function by binding the 20S proteasome to allosterically activate the T-L proteolytic site.

    Abstract The proteasome, a complex multi-catalytic protease machinery, orchestrates the protein degradation essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis, and its dysregulation also underlies many different types of diseases. Its function is regulated by many different mechanisms that encompass various factors such as proteasome activators (PAs), adaptor proteins, and post-translational modifications. This review highlights the unique characteristics of proteasomal regulation through the lens of a distinct family of regulators, the 11S, REGs, or PA26/PA28. This ATP-independent family, spanning from amoebas to mammals, exhibits a common architectural structure; yet, their cellular biology and criteria for protein degradation remain mostly elusive. We delve into their evolution and cellular biology, and contrast their structure and function comprehensively, emphasizing the unanswered questions regarding their regulatory mechanisms and broader roles in proteostasis. A deeper understanding of these processes will illuminate the roles of this regulatory family in biology and disease, thus contributing to the advancement of therapeutic strategies.
