    Abstract The human visual system estimates the physical properties of objects, such as their lightness. Previous studies on the lightness perception of glossy three-dimensional objects have suggested that specular highlights are detected and excluded in lightness perception. However, only a few studies have attempted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this exclusion. This study aimed to elucidate the image features that contribute to the highlight exclusion of lightness perception. We used Portilla-Simoncelli texture statistics (PS statistics), an image feature set similar to the representation in the early visual cortex, to explore their relationships with highlight exclusion for lightness perception. In experiment 1, computer graphics images of bumpy plastic plates with various physical parameters were used as stimuli, and the lightness perception on them was measured using a lightness matching task. We then calculated the highlight exclusion index, which represented the degree of highlight exclusion. Finally, we evaluated the correlation between the highlight exclusion index and the four PS statistic subsets. In experiment 2, an image synthesis algorithm was used to create images in which either the PS statistic subset was manipulated. The highlight exclusion indexes of the synthesized images were then measured. The results revealed that the PS statistic subset consisting of lowest-order image features, such as moment statistics of luminance, acts as a necessary condition for highlight exclusion, whereas the other three subsets consisting of higher order features are not crucial. These results suggest that the low-order image features are the most important among the features in PS statistics for highlight exclusion, even though image features higher order than those in PS statistics must be directly involved.

    Abstract DNA microarrays have been applied for comprehensive genotyping, but remain a drawback in complicated operations. As a solution, we previously reported the solid-phase collateral cleavage (SPCC) system based on the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-associated protein 12 (CRISPR/Cas12). Surface-immobilized Cas12-CRISPR RNA (crRNA) can directly hybridize target double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and subsequently produce a signal via the cleavage of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) reporter immobilized on the same spot. Therefore, SPCC-based multiplex dsDNA detection can be performed easily. This study reports the miniaturization of SPCC-based spots patterned by a non-contact printer and its performance in comprehensive genotyping on a massively accumulated array. Initially, printing, immobilization, and washing processes of Cas12-crRNA were established to fabricate the non-contact-patterned SPCC-based sensor array. A target dsDNA concentration response was obtained based on the developed sensor array, even with a spot diameter of 0.64 ± 0.05 mm. Also, the limit of detection was 572 pM, 531 pM, and 3.04 nM with 40, 20, and 10 nL-printing of Cas12-crRNA, respectively. Furthermore, the sensor array specifically detected three dsDNA sequences in one-pot multiplexing; therefore, the feasibility of comprehensive genotyping was confirmed. These results demonstrate that our technology can be miniaturized as a CRISPR/Cas12-based microarray by using non-contact printing. In the future, the non-contact-patterned SPCC-based sensor array can be applied as an alternative tool to DNA microarrays.

    Abstract Intestinal epithelium functions as a barrier to protect the host from environmental microbes. Defects in macroautophagy/autophagy combined with intestinal microbes cause a disruption of homeostasis of the tissue, which is associated with the etiology of Crohn disease, an inflammatory bowel disease. However, the molecular mechanism of how autophagy interacts with microbes in the pathology are mostly unrevealed. Our recent findings using

    Abstract The extensive cellular signalling events controlled by posttranslational ubiquitination are tightly regulated through the action of specialized proteases termed deubiquitinases. Among them, the OTU family of deubiquitinases can play very specialized roles in the regulation of discrete subtypes of ubiquitin signals that control specific cellular functions. To exert control over host cellular functions, some pathogenic bacteria have usurped the OTU deubiquitinase fold as a secreted virulence factor that interferes with ubiquitination inside infected cells. Herein, we provide a review of the function of bacterial OTU deubiquitinases during infection, the structural basis for their deubiquitinase activities and the bioinformatic approaches leading to their identification. Understanding bacterial OTU deubiquitinases holds the potential for discoveries not only in bacterial pathogenesis but in eukaryotic biology as well.

    Abstract Adult tissues in Metazoa dynamically remodel their structures in response to environmental challenges including sudden injury, pathogen infection, and nutritional fluctuation, while maintaining quiescence under homoeostatic conditions. This characteristic, hereafter referred to as adult tissue plasticity, can prevent tissue dysfunction and improve the fitness of organisms in continuous and/or severe change of environments.

    Abstract Pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) is an optical sensor that can measure global pressure distribution by using the oxygen quenching of dye molecules. In particular, anodized aluminum pressure-sensitive paint (AA-PSP) exhibits a fast time response. AA-PSP has been used in unsteady measurements at supersonic and transonic speeds, such as on the surface of a transonic free-flying sphere or the wall of a shock tube when the shock wave passes. To capture such ultrafast phenomena, the frame rate of the camera must be sufficiently fast, and the exposure time must be sufficiently short. Therefore, it is desirable that the AA-PSP exhibits bright luminescence, high-pressure sensitivity, and fast response time. This study focused on pyrene-based AA-PSPs and investigated their characteristics, such as luminescence intensity and pressure sensitivity, at different anodization times, dipping solvents, and dipping concentrations. Furthermore, a time-response test using a shock tube was conducted on the brightest AA-PSP. Consequently, the time for a 90% rise in pressure was 2.2 μs.
