    Abstract Enduring chromosome segregation errors represent potential threats to genomic stability due to eventual chromosome copy number alterations (aneuploidy) and formation of micronuclei-key intermediates of a rapid mutational process known as chromothripsis that is found in cancer and congenital disorders. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) has been viewed as the sole surveillance mechanism that prevents chromosome segregation errors during mitosis and meiosis. However, different types of chromosome segregation errors stemming from incorrect kinetochore-microtubule attachments satisfy the SAC and are more frequent than previously anticipated. Remarkably, recent works have unveiled that most of these errors are corrected during anaphase and only rarely result in aneuploidy or formation of micronuclei. Here, we discuss recent progress in our understanding of the origin and fate of chromosome segregation errors that satisfy the SAC and shed light on the surveillance, correction, and clearance mechanisms that prevent their transmission, to preserve genomic stability.

    Abstract Adulteration of essential oils is a common and serious problem. Adequate and fast methods are required to establish the authenticity and purity. GC-MS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR were compared in combination with similarity calculations as well as differential spectroscopy and chromatography for the authentication and determination of purity of vetiver essential oils. In the investigation of eight commercial oils ¹H and ¹³C NMR adequately detected all six adulterants encountered in four of the commercial samples, while GC-MS was not able to detect adulteration with vegetable oils. A great advantage of the combined use of similarity calculation and NMR is that the authenticity can be verified without the need of concomitant measurement of a standard sample. The calculation can be carried out with a registered reference spectrum, in the case of ¹H NMR acquired using the same magnetic field, but in the case of ¹³C NMR the spectrum can be obtained with another magnetic field. ¹H NMR has the advantage of high speed, and the results can be obtained within minutes. ¹³C NMR was found to be superior in its ability to provide unequivocal identification of eventual adulterants, with differential spectroscopy revealing all signals of the adulterants.

    Abstract Abiotic stresses, such as those induced by climatic factors or contaminants, and biotic stresses prompted by phytopathogens and pests inflict tremendous losses in agriculture and are major threats to worldwide food security. In addition, climate changes will exacerbate these factors as well as their negative impact on crops. Drought, salinity, heavy metals, pesticides, and drugs are major environmental problems that need deep attention, and effective and sustainable strategies to mitigate their effects on the environment need to be developed. Besides, sustainable solutions for agrocontrol must be developed as alternatives to conventional agrochemicals. In this sense, nanotechnology offers promising solutions to mitigate environmental stress effects on plants, increasing plant tolerance to the stressor, for the remediation of environmental contaminants, and to protect plants against pathogens.

    Abstract R loops are abundant noncanonical DNA-RNA hybrid structures that can occur during DNA-based processes, such as transcription, replication and DNA damage, and can lead both to physiologically favorable and pathological outcomes. With an increasing body of work feeding the field of R loop biology, our understanding of the processes in which R loops intervene and the consequences of meddling with R loop formation and dissolution has greatly increased but it has also led to new questions and sometimes opposing possibilities. Proper detection of these structures is a crucial factor to advance our knowledge about R loops and factors associated with their formation and removal. Here, we describe the use of fluorescently tagged HBD, the hybrid-binding domain of RNase H1, as a tool for analyzing DNA-RNA hybrids in different contexts using live-cell microscopy and immunofluorescence experiments.

    Abstract This study aimed to (1) analyze the relationship between the three job crafting dimensions (task, cognitive and relational crafting) and performance; (2) explore whether meaningful work fully mediates the links between the three job crafting dimensions and performance; (3) analyze if presenteeism moderates the indirect effect of meaningful work in the relationship between job crafting and performance. To achieve these goals, we collected data with 146 workers from a town hall. We analyzed the proposed moderated-mediation model using the PROCESS macro. The results showed that (1) the meaning in work mediated the relationship between the three job crafting dimensions and performance; (2) presenteeism moderated the mediated relationship between job crafting and performance via meaningful work, that is, lower levels of presenteeism were positively related to performance, in particular, when the levels of meaning in work were lower. These results show the importance of empowering employees to craft their work, as it appears to increase employees' performance, by enhancing the meaning attributed to the work. Promoting health conditions, at work, also seems to be relevant for performance once it may decrease levels of presenteeism. The cross-sectional design should be regarded as a limitation, and we assessed all the variables through self-reported measures. The present study contributes to the literature by analyzing the relationship of job crafting to performance via meaningful work, within the public administration context. Moreover, this study adds to the literature the conditional effect of presenteeism which has not been discussed in prior studies. This study aids in bridging this gap.

    Abstract Candida albicans is a common Candida species, responsible for infections in various anatomical sites under different environmental conditions, aggravated in the presence of its biofilms. As such, this study aimed to reveal the regulation of C. albicans biofilms under acidic conditions by the transcription factor Sfl1, whose role on biofilm formation is unclear. For that, microbiologic and transcriptomic analyses were performed with the knock-out mutant C. albicans sfl1Δ/sfl1Δ and its parental strain SN76, grown in planktonic and biofilm lifestyles at pH 4 (vaginal pH). The results revealed that despite being a filamentation repressor Sf1 is required for maximal biofilm formation under acidic conditions. Additionally, Sfl1 was found to induce 275 and 126 genes in biofilm and planktonic cells, respectively, with an overlap of 19 genes. The functional distribution of Sfl1 targets was similar in planktonic and biofilm modes but an enrichment of carbohydrate metabolism function was found in biofilm cells, including some genes encoding proteins involved in the biofilm matrix production. Furthermore, this study shows that the regulatory network of Sfl1 in acidic biofilms is complex and includes positive and negative regulation of transcription factors involved in adhesion and biofilm formation, such as Ahr1, Brg1, Tye7, Tec1, Wor1, and some of their targets. Overall, this study shows that Sfl1 is a relevant regulator of C. albicans biofilm formation in acidic environments and contributes to a better understanding of C. albicans virulence under acidic conditions.
