Proteasome stress leads to APP axonal transport defects by promoting its amyloidogenic processing in lysosomes

Published: May 2018

Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology includes the accumulation of poly-ubiquitylated (also known as poly-ubiquitinated) proteins and failures in proteasome-dependent degradation. Whereas the distribution of proteasomes and its role in synaptic function have been studied, whether proteasome activity regulates the axonal transport and metabolism of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), remains elusive. By using live imaging in primary hippocampal neurons, we showed that proteasome inhibition rapidly and severely impairs the axonal transport of APP. Fluorescence cross-correlation analyses and membrane internalization blockage experiments showed that plasma membrane APP does not contribute to transport defects. Moreover, by western blotting and double-color APP imaging, we demonstrated that proteasome inhibition precludes APP axonal transport by enhancing its endo-lysosomal delivery, where β-cleavage is induced. Taken together, we found that proteasomes control the distal transport of APP and can re-distribute Golgi-derived vesicles to the endo-lysosomal pathway. This crosstalk between proteasomes and lysosomes regulates the intracellular APP dynamics, and defects in proteasome activity can be considered a contributing factor that leads to abnormal APP metabolism in AD.

ARF6 protects sister chromatid cohesion to ensure the formation of stable kinetochore-microtubule attachments
Authors: Bourmoum Mohamed , Charles Ricardo , Claing Audrey
Published: May 2018

Sister chromatid cohesion, facilitated by the cohesin protein complex, is crucial for the establishment of stable bipolar attachments of chromosomes to the spindle microtubules and their faithful segregation. Here, we demonstrate that the GTPase ARF6 prevents the premature loss of sister chromatid cohesion. During mitosis, ARF6-depleted cells normally completed chromosome congression. However, at the metaphase plate, chromosomes failed to establish stable kinetochore-microtubule attachments because of the impaired cohesion at centromeres. As a result, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) was active and cyclin B ubiquitylation and degradation were blocked. Chromosomes and/or chromatids in these cells scattered gradually from the metaphase plate to the two poles of the cell or remained blocked at the metaphase plate for hours. Our study demonstrates that the small GTP-binding protein ARF6 is essential for maintaining centromeric cohesion between sister chromatids, which is necessary for the establishment of stable k-fibres, SAC satisfaction and the onset of anaphase.
Highly efficient in vitro translation of authentic affinity-purified messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes
Authors: Fritz Sarah E. , Haque Nazmul , Hogg J. Robert
Published: May 2018

Cell-free systems are widely used to study mechanisms and regulation of translation, but the use of in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNAs as translation substrates limits their efficiency and utility. Here, we present an approach for in vitro translation of messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) complexes affinity purified in association with tagged mRNAs expressed in mammalian cells. We show that in vitro translation of purified mRNPs is much more efficient than that achieved using standard IVT mRNA substrates and is compatible with physiological ionic conditions. The high efficiency of affinity-purified mRNP in vitro translation is attributable to both copurified protein components and proper mRNA processing and modification. Further, we use translation inhibitors to show that translation of purified mRNPs consists of separable phases of run-off elongation by copurified ribosomes and de novo initiation by ribosomes present in the translation extracts. We expect that this in vitro system will enhance mechanistic studies of eukaryotic translation and translation-associated processes by allowing the use of endogenous mRNPs as translation substrates under physiological buffer conditions.

On the Use of Overt Anti-Counterfeiting Technologies
Authors: Gao Yuetao
Published: May 2018

Many pharmaceutical companies use overt anti-counterfeiting technologies (OACTs), such as holograms, to fight counterfeiters. An OACT is typically implemented on the drug packaging, which makes it difficult for counterfeiters to produce convincing copies and easy for patients to tell the difference between authentic and counterfeit medicines. I consider a model in which an authentic firm sells its drug at a reliable source and counterfeiters and illegitimate genuine sellers sell their drugs at a dubious source. The authentic firm chooses an OACT to combat counterfeiters. I show that there may be an inverted U-shaped relationship between the complexity of the OACT and the magnitude of counterfeit medicine purchases. The nature of this relationship is a consequence of an OACT engendering two opposing effects. On one hand, adopting an OACT imposes an entry cost on counterfeiters, causing fewer counterfeiters to enter the dubious source; as a result, the drugs at this source have a greater chance of being genuine (a counterfeiters’ entry-dampening effect). On the other hand, more patients head to this dubious source rather than the reliable source owing to the increased chance of obtaining a genuine drug (a patients’ demand-enhancing effect). When the selected OACT is sufficiently complex to replicate, the former effect overrides the latter and thus the problem of counterfeit purchasing is relieved. However, when the OACT is not adequately sophisticated, the latter effect more than offsets the former. This leads to an anti-counterfeiting trap: the use of a rudimentary OACT may beget more counterfeit purchases. This result offers an understanding to the phenomenon that despite enormous spending on the upgrading of OACTs in recent years, annual global sales of counterfeit drugs have actually risen. I also find that using an OACT may result in higher prices for both counterfeit and authentic drugs. Furthermore, I demonstrate that, at the optimum, an authentic firm may find it more profitable to employ a mediocre OACT, whereas it may not use any OACTs if its price is regulated.
The Effect of Experience Congruity on Repurchase Intention: The Moderating Role of Public Commitment
Authors: Choi Sungwoo , Mattila Anna S.
Published: May 2018

There is scant research examining the impact of posting reviews on the reviewer. To bridge that gap, we investigate the impact of other consumer online reviews (congruent versus incongruent) on the focal consumer’s repurchase intention, and propose that public commitment (posting a review) moderates the relationship. Our findings indicate that, when posting a review about their positive experience, consumers show similar levels of embarrassment regardless of whether other consumer reviews are congruent or incongruent with their own experience. Conversely, when the consumer doesn’t write a review, other consumers’ incongruent reviews induce feelings of embarrassment, thus diminishing attitude certainty and consequent repurchase intention. Additionally, reviewers felt marginally less embarrassed than nonreviewers when they were exposed to other consumers’ incongruent reviews. Conversely, nonreviewers felt less embarrassment than reviewers when exposed to other consumers’ congruent reviews. However, such an effect is mitigated when the focal consumer’s experience is negative. The study findings demonstrate that embarrassment and attitude certainty are the underlying mechanisms explaining the effects.
Jenny Kee and Flamingo Park: Independent fashion retailers as creative practitioners
Authors: Tuite Alexandra
Published: May 2018

It is contended in this article that independent fashion retailers who display conscious and proactive cultural positioning can be considered as not only retail practitioners, but creative practitioners playing a cultural role in the fashion industry. Australian fashion retailer and designer Jenny Kee is used as a historic example. Kee opened her Flamingo Park retail store in Sydney in 1973 and later became one of Australia’s best-known fashion designers. Using primary sources from the Jenny Kee Archive at the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Sydney in addition to Kee’s recollections in her autobiography, Kee’s retail work is viewed through the lens of Bourdieu’s field theory and her position in the field of fashion and role as a cultural intermediary is established. By framing her work in this way, the potential for a fashion retailer to mediate culture for fashion consumers using retailing as their creative practice is demonstrated.
A twist in the retail: The rise, fall and re-emergence of Budapest as a fashion city
Authors: Medvedev Katalin
Published: May 2018

Although the traditional focus in fashion studies on Western Europe and America has been widely critiqued, the examination of what influences and major institutions were critical in the diffusion of fashion in Eastern and Central Europe is still limited. To counter this drawback, this study charts the history of the development of fashion and fashion retailing in one Eastern Central European capital, Budapest, Hungary, from the early nineteenth century until the late 1960s. It brings to light that even though Budapest does not register as an important European fashion centre among western fashion scholars, the city had a steadily growing fashion production, consumption and retail scene in Eastern-Central Europe from the early nineteenth century until the Second World War, and again from the late 1960s onwards. It explores the ideological, political and economic reasons fashion and its supporting retail scene disappeared in Hungary after the communist takeover in 1948 and discusses what led to their gradual comeback following the 1956 Uprising against Soviet-style totalitarian dictatorship and the introduction of the New Economic Mechanism in 1968.
Just his style: The songs Hugh Martin created for MGM’s Meet Me in St. Louis
Authors: Christman Paul
Published: May 2018

In 1943, Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane were given the plum assignment of writing songs for Judy Garland to sing in the movie musical Meet Me in St. Louis. Although they had the advantage of having worked with her in New York City and Hollywood, for the young songwriters this was still a high-profile motion picture in which to be a part. Because the work’s title came from a 1904 song that the studio would use in addition to other period music, the challenge was to write new material that sounded as though it came from the turn of the century and that showcased Garland, America’s girl next door. All three songs that Martin created for Meet Me in St. Louis, ‘The Boy Next Door’, ‘The Trolley Song’ and ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’, are emblematic of his writing style. An examination of Martin’s notebooks while at MGM reveals new insight into his process of lyric writing from initial drafts to final versions. In studying his compositions, one discovers how he was influenced by as well as adapted American popular song form. Martin’s skilled craftsmanship yielded the best-known songs of his career, and today they remain standards in the American Songbook.
Commitment in social choreography: Excavating the Martha Graham Dance Company
Authors: Tamler Cory
Published: May 2018

Where other, more autonomous art forms would have to share their political inventions in a show-and-tell that leads to the trap of didacticism, social choreography and other forms of social practice can leave room for invention without insisting on it. This approach, however, can give rise to a trap of its own: in the name of participation, artists fashion such an open, unregulated space for audience-participants that those who enter it fall back into roles they know. In this article, I look at a recent collaborative work of social choreography created by Austrian choreographer Michael Kliën with the Martha Graham Dance Company to argue that if social practice is really to intervene in the structure of social space, it must find the art in the way it responds to the pressure of the ordinary.
Diabetes duration and thyroid stimulating hormone levels in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Rochmah Nur , Faizi Muhammad
Published: May 2018

Background Children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are at risk of thyroid dysfunction. An association between diabetes duration and thyroid stimulating hormone level remains inconclusive.Objective To assess for a possible association between diabetes duration and thyroid stimulating hormone levels in children with T1DM.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study from January to June 2017 in the Pediatric Endocrine Outpatient Clinic at Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Subjects were children with T1DM aged 7 to <18 years. Exclusion criteria were children with diabetic ketoacidosis, previously diagnosed thyroid problems, and hospitalization in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Results From the 55 regular patients in our outpatient clinic, 34 patients were included in the study. Nineteen (54.3%) subjects were male, and the overall mean age was 11.3 years. Subjects’ mean duration of diabetes was 3 years and their mean thyroid stimulating hormone concentration was 3.76mIU/L. Pearson’s correlation test revealed no significant association between duration of diabetes and thyroid stimulating hormone level (rs=-0.068; P=0.703).Conclusion There is no significant association between duration of diabetes and thyroid stimulating hormone levels in children with T1DM.
Optimizationof Process Parameters of Copper Composites Produced via Friction Stir Processing
Authors: Gupta K B N V S K Ganesh , Rao BD Santha
Published: May 2018

Increasing demands for operating properties of fabricated elements on one hand, and a necessity of reducing mass of a structure on the other, triggers materials engineering research into producing surface layers representing required functional properties. Methods commonly used in the production of surface layers, such as surfacing, spraying or re-melting with a laser beam have been known for years. A new method is the friction stir processing (FSP) of surface layers. The FSP process is primarily used for the modification of microstructure in near-surface layers of processed metallic components this deformation is produced by forcibly inserting a non-consumable tool into the workpiece, and revolving the tool in a stirring motion as it is pushed laterally through the workpiece. This is promising process for the automotive and aerospace industries where new material will need to be developed to improve resistance to wear, creep, and fatigue. The main objective of this project is to be producing copper reinforced metal matrix composite layers using micro sized TiB2 particles via friction stir processing (FSP) in order to enhance surface mechanical properties. Taguchi method was used to optimize these factors for maximizing the mechanical properties of surface composites. The fabricated surface composites were examined by optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for dispersion reinforcement particles. It was found that TiB2 particles are uniformly dispersed in the stir zone. Mechanical properties like tensile, Impact, hardness, were also evaluated. The results showed that functional characteristics of surface composites increased with the increase in vol. % of the micro sized TiB2 reinforcement particles. The observed mechanical properties are correlated with microstructure and fracture features.
Ars Memorativa, Ars Oblivionis in Middle English Religious Plays
Authors: Ciobanu Estella Antoaneta
Published: May 2018

This paper investigates the multi-layered violence of religious representation in the late medieval York biblical plays, with a focus on the Supper at Emmaus. I read Emmaus (Y40), a play which commemorates the Crucifixion and openly encourages strong anti-Judaism, alongside scenes in an early predecessor pageant, The Crucifixion (Y35), within their contemporary devotional and mnemonic practices, i.e. the confessional Book of Margery Kempe and Thomas Bradwardine’s tract on ars memorativa. Emmaus in particular demonstrates how a fundamentally violent ars memorativa, the legacy of ancient rhetoric to the Middle Ages, also underpins the instruction of the laity in the basics of Christian faith, here with the aid of highly musical prosody and repetition, and thereby hones a biased, intolerant and violence-inured Christian collective memory. To study the York play’s position relative to late medieval mnemonic practices, I frame my analysis within memory studies, enriched with the more specific insights offered by social-psychological, neurobiological and cognitivist studies of memory.
Re-Working Shakespeare: Heiner Müller’s Macbeth
Authors: Nicolaescu Mădălina
Published: May 2018

This article focuses on particular meanings of the term “work,” as related first to the process of adapting Shakespeare and secondly to the ideological and philosophical resonances of this term as employed in the socialist propaganda in East Germany and which Heiner Müller introduces into Shakespeare’s text and gives an ironical twist to. In the first part it points to a few aspects of East German doctrinaire readings of Shakespeare, which were further contested and deconstructed in Müller’s translation cum adaptation. The final part zooms in on the reconfiguring of the established meanings attached to the concept of work in Müller’s rewriting of Macbeth and on the relation between these meanings and the philosophy of history he proposes in his adaptation.
The Posthuman Body in Jennifer Egan’s “Black Box”
Authors: Precup Amelia
Published: May 2018

This paper participates in the discussion about the configuration of what is commonly being referred to as ‘the posthuman condition’ by addressing the technological transformation of the human body and the cultural and political inflections of this transformation through the exploration of Jennifer Egan’s “Black Box.” The paper interrogates the implication of the fusion of flesh and technology and the re-conceptualization of the body as information, thus enabling insights into how these changes affect subjectivity, individuality, and the stereotyped understanding of gender hierarchies.

Longitarsus doeberli, a wingless new species from Socotra Island (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Authors: Biondi Maurizio , D’Alessandro Paola
Published: May 2018

Longitarsus doeberli sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini), from Socotra Island is described. The new species is apparently similar to Longitarsus lederi Weise, 1889 from Caucasus with which it shares, in addition to compact body, some adaptive convergences, such as wingless condition and trend of reduction of the metatarsomere I. Based on the structure of the median lobe of aedeagus and the peculiar shape of the spermatheca, the new species shows instead the closest relationships with the species of the L. anchusae group, especially L. anchusae (Paykull, 1799) and L. anatolicus Weise, 1900.

The Influence of Technological Parameters of X70 Stainless Steel Ladle Refining on the Residual Content of Non-Metallic Inclusions
Authors: Babanin A. , Babanina O. , Bilousov V. , Komarov B. , Pashchuk D. , Shalapko J.
Published: May 2018

It is demonstrated that during secondary refining at the ladle furnace the carbon content of steel and the residence time of the metal in the ladle exert a significant impact on the residual content of non-metallic inclusions (NMI) in steel. Mathematical calculations showed that the dynamic forces have minor effect on the motion of small sized NMI, making it difficult to penetrate deep into the slag.
Effect of Chromium on the Solidification Process and Microstructure of Vermicular Graphite Cast Iron
Authors: Gumienny G. , Dondzbach M. , Kacprzyk B.
Published: May 2018

The paper presents the results of studies of the effect of chromium concentration on the solidification process, microstructure and selected properties of cast iron with vermicular graphite. The vermicular graphite cast iron was obtained by an Inmold process. Studies covered the cast iron containing chromium in a concentration at which graphite is still able to preserve its vermicular form. The effect of chromium on the temperature of eutectic crystallization and on the temperature of the start and end of austenite transformation was discussed. The conditions under which, at a predetermined chromium concentration, the vermicular graphite cast iron of a pearlitic matrix is obtained were presented, and the limit concentration of chromium was calculated starting from which partial solidification of the cast iron in a metastable system takes place. The effect of chromium on the hardness of cast iron, microhardness of individual phases and surface fraction of carbides was disclosed.
The Influence of Sand Grains Properties on Electrical Properties of Moulding Sand with Inorganic Binder
Authors: Opyd B. , Granat K.
Published: May 2018

The paper presents the results of basic research on the influence of the properties of sand grains on electrical properties of water glass moulding sands. It shows electrical properties of the main component – sand grains, crucial to the kinetics of moulding sands heating, such as permittivity εr and loss factor tgδ. Measurements were carried out with the use of the perturbation method for silica, chromite and olivine sands of different mineral, chemical composition and particle size distribution, as well as for moulding sands with water glass grade 145. Analysis of the results of measurements of electrical properties shows that all moulding sands are characterized by a similar permittivity εr and loss factor tgδ. It was found that the electrical properties and the quantity and quality of other components may have a decisive influence on the effectiveness and efficiency of the microwave heating of moulding sands with sand grains. In determining the ability to efficiently absorb the microwave radiation for mixtures which moulding sands are, the impact of all components influencing their individual technological parameters should be taken into account.

Published: May 2018

In paper is presented results of studies concerning ingot of Al with a purity of 99.5% cast with use of stand of horizontal continuous casting. Mainly together with casting velocity was considered influence of electromagnetic stirrer, which was placed in continuous casting mould on refinement of ingots structure and theirs usability to plastic deformation. Effect of structure refinement and usability to plastic deformation obtained by influence of electromagnetic stirring was compared with refinement obtained by use of traditional inoculation, which consists in introducing of additives i.e. Ti and B to metal bath. On the basis of obtained results was affirmed that inoculation realized by electromagnetic stirring in range of continuous casting mould guarantees improvement in structure refinement and usability to rolling of pure Al continuous ingots.
Gas Emissivity of a Modified Cellulose Mix at the Temperature of 900°C
Authors: Zawieja Z. , Sawicki J.
Published: May 2018

This paper presents the findings of a study of gas emissivity and the volumetric gas flow rate from a patented modified cellulose mix used in production of disposable sand casting moulds. The modified cellulose mix with such additives as expanded perlite, expanded vermiculite and microspheres was used as the study material. The results for gas emissivity and the gas flow rate for the modified cellulose mix were compared with the gas emissivity of the commercial material used in gating systems in disposable sand casting moulds. The results have shown that the modified cellulose mix is characterized by a lower gas emissivity by as much as 50% and lower gas flow rate per unit mass during the process of thermal degradation at the temperature of 900°C, compared to the commercial mix. It was also noted that the amount of microspheres considerably affected the amount of gas produced.
On Space-Like Constant Slope Surfaces And Bertrand Curves In Minkowski 3-Space
Authors: Babaarslan Murat , Yayli Yusuf
Published: May 2018

In the present paper, we define the notions of Lorentzian Sabban frames and de Sitter evolutes of the unit speed space-like curves on de Sitter 2-space 𝕊21. In addi- tion, we investigate the invariants and geometric properties of these curves. Afterwards, we show that space-like Bertrand curves and time-like Bertrand curves can be constructed from unit speed space-like curves on de Sitter 2-space 𝕊21 and hyperbolic space ℍ2, respec- tively. We obtain the relations between Bertrand curves and helices. Also we show that pseudo-spherical Darboux images of Bertrand curves are equal to pseudo-spherical evo- lutes in Minkowski 3-space ℝ31. Moreover we investigate the relations between Bertrand curves and space-like constant slope surfaces in ℝ31. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate our main results.
