description: We discuss the possibility of extracting |V_{ub}| from various spectra of inclusive B decays, without large systematic errors which usually arise from having to model the Fermi motion of the heavy quark. This strategy can be applied to the electron energy spectrum, as well as the hadronic mass spectrum. Modulo violation of local hadron-parton duality, the theoretical error in the extraction is estimated to be less than 10%.

description: Coordinated interplay of the microtubule and actin cytoskeletons has long been known to be crucial for many cellular processes including cell migration and cytokinesis. However, interactions between these two systems have been difficult to document by conventional approaches, for a variety of technical reasons. Here the distribution of f-actin and microtubules were analyzed in the absence of fixation using Xenopus egg extracts as an in vitro source of microtubules and f-actin, demembranated Xenopus sperm to nucleate microtubule asters, fluorescent phalloidin as a probe for f-actin, and fluorescent tubulin as a probe for microtubules. F-actin consistently colocalized in a lengthwise manner with microtubules of asters subjected to extensive washing in flow chambers. F-actin-microtubule association was heterogenous within a given aster, such that f-actin is most abundant toward the distal (plus) ends of microtubules, and microtubules heavily labeled with f-actin are found in close proximity to microtubules devoid of f-actin. However, this distribution changed over time, in that 5 minute asters had more f-actin in their interiors than did 15 minute asters. Microtubule association with f-actin was correlated with microtubule bending and kinking, while elimination of f-actin resulted in straighter microtubules, indicating that the in vitro interaction between f-actin and microtubules is functionally significant. F-actin was also found to associate in a lengthwise fashion with microtubules in asters centrifuged through 30% sucrose, and microtubules alone (i.e. microtubules not seeded from demembranated sperm) centrifuged through sucrose, indicating that the association cannot be explained by flow-induced trapping and alignment of f-actin by aster microtubules. Further, cosedimentation analysis revealed that microtubule-f-actin association could be reconstituted from microtubules assembled from purified brain tubulin and f-actin assembled from purified muscle actin in the presence, but not the absence, of Xenopus oocyte microtubule binding proteins. The results provide direct evidence for an association between microtubules and f-actin in vitro, indicate that this interaction is mediated by one or more microtubule binding proteins, and suggest that this interaction may be responsible for the mutual regulation of the microtubule and actomyosin cytoskeletons observed in vivo.

description: The dynamics of soft ($|\vec{p}|\sim g^2 T$) non-Abelian gauge fields at finite temperature is non-perturbative. The effective theory for the soft scale is determined by diagrams with external momenta $p_0\lsim g^2 T$, $|\vec{p}|\sim g^2 T$ and loop momenta larger than $g^2 T$. We consider the polarization tensor beyond the hard thermal loop approximation, which accounts for loop momenta of order $T$. There are higher loop diagrams, involving also the scale $gT$, which are as important as the hard thermal loops. These higher loop contributions are characteristic for non-Abelian gauge theories and their calculation is simplified by using the hard thermal loop effective theory. Remarkably, the effective one-loop polarization tensor is found to be gauge fixing independent and transverse at leading order in $g$. The transversality indicates that this approach leads to a gauge invariant effective theory.

Their renormalizations with respect to continuum are analysed. The definition of the topological susceptibility, as used in chiral Ward identities, is reviewed.

The methods based on cooling and on counting fermionic zero modes are also discussed.

E-MAP-115 (ensconsin) associates dynamically with microtubules in vivo and is not a physiological modulator of microtubule dynamics
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) have been hypothesized to regulate microtubule dynamics and/or functions. To test hypotheses concerning E-MAP-115 (ensconsin) function, we prepared stable cell lines expressing conjugates in which the full-length MAP (Ensc) or its microtubule-binding domain (EMTB) was conjugated to one or more green fluorescent protein (GFP) molecules. Because both distribution and microtubule-binding properties of GFP-Ensc, GFP-EMTB, and 2x, 3x, or 4xGFP-EMTB chimeras all appeared to be identical to those of endogenous E-MAP-115 (ensconsin), we used the 2xGFP-EMTB molecule as a reporter for the behavior and microtubule-binding function of endogenous MAP. Dual wavelength time-lapse fluorescence imaging of 2xGFP-EMTB in cells microinjected with labeled tubulin revealed that this GFP-MAP chimera associated with the lattice of all microtubules immediately upon polymerization and dissociated concomitant with depolymerization, suggesting that dynamics of MAP:microtubule interactions were at least as rapid as tubulin:microtubule dynamics in the polymerization reaction. Presence of both GFP-EMTB chimeras and endogenous E-MAP-115 (ensconsin) along apparently all cellular microtubules at all cell cycle stages suggested that the MAP might function in modulating stability or dynamics of microtubules, a capability shown previously in transiently transfected cells. Although cells with extremely high expression levels of GFP-EMTB chimera exhibited stabilized microtubules, cells expressing four to ten times the physiological level of endogenous MAP exhibited microtubule dynamics indistinguishable from those of untransfected cells. This result shows that E-MAP-115 (ensconsin) is unlikely to function as a microtubule stabilizer in vivo. Instead, this MAP most likely serves to modulate microtubule functions or interactions with other cytoskeletal elements.

description: In the MSSM, the CP parities of the neutral Higgs bosons may be mixed by radiative effects induced by explicit CP violation in the third generation of squarks. To allow for this possibility, we argue that the charged Higgs-boson mass and tan(beta) should be used to parametrize the MSSM Higgs sector. We introduce a new benchmark scenario of maximal CP violation appropriate for direct searches of CP-violating MSSM Higgs bosons. We show that the bounds established by LEP 2 on the MSSM Higgs sector may be substantially relaxed at low and intermediate values of tan(beta) in the presence of CP violation, and comment on possible Higgs boson signatures at LEP 2 within this framework.

description: In rock engineering projects, professionals assess the overall rock mass qualities using a sole value. However, the true qualities of partial rock masses are incompatible with such a value. To address this problem, the idea of regionally classifying rock mass qualities is proposed and the associated procedure presented. To achieve this goal, the probabilistic and deterministic joints within the study area were determined, and a three-dimensional joint network model was created. Then, the three-dimensional joint network model was discretized into interlocking subdomains, and the modified blockiness index (MBi) was used to finely identify the homogeneous structural regions, together with the k-means algorithm and the sum of squared errors (SSE). A synthetic model comprising homogeneous structural regions was developed and validated with respect to the extracted cross-sections. Next, an improved Rock Mass Rating system (RMRmbi) was introduced, and the viability of RMRmbi was supported through a significant amount of theoretical cases and several real cases. Finally, visualization of regional RMRmbi classification results was performed. Results show that: (i) the homogeneous structural regions are finely demarcated in three dimensions; and (ii) the proposed idea can overcome the problem of rock mass quality classification using the conventional approach often leading to ‘overgeneralization’.

description: By modeling the uncertainty of spinning reserves provided by energy storage with probabilistic constraints, a new optimal scheduling mode is proposed for minimizing the operating costs of an isolated microgrid (MG) by using chance-constrained programming. The model is transformed into a readily solvable mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation in GAMS via a proposed discretized step transformation (DST) approach and finally solved by applying the CPLEX solver. By properly setting the confidence levels of the spinning reserve probability constraints, the MG operation can be achieved a trade-off between reliability and economy. The test results on the modified ORNL DECC lab MG test system reveal that the proposal significantly exceeds the commonly used hybrid intelligent algorithm with much better and more stable optimization results and significantly reduced calculation times.

Integrin and cytoskeletal regulation of growth factor signaling to the MAP kinase pathway

name: Juliano, RL
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: Integrin-mediated anchorage of NIH3T3 fibroblasts to the extracellular matrix component fibronectin permits efficient growth factor signaling to the p42 and p44 forms of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Since integrins bridge the extracellular matrix to focal adhesion sites and to the actin cytoskeleton, we analyzed the role of these integrin-associated structures in efficient growth factor activation of p42 and p44-MAPKs. Use of specific reagents that disrupt actin stress fiber and focal adhesion formation demonstrated that upon readhesion of NIH3T3 cells to fibronectin, cells that were poorly spread and lacked prominent focal adhesions but that formed cortical actin structures, efficiently signaled to p42 and p44-MAPKs upon EGF stimulation. In contrast, failure to form the cortical actin structures, despite attachment to fibronectin, precluded effective EGF signaling to p42 and p44-MAPKs. Actin cytoskeletal changes induced by expression of dominant-negative and constitutively active forms of Rho GTPases did not alter EGF activation of MAPK in adherent cells. However, active Cdc42, but not active Rac1 or RhoA, partially rescued EGF signaling to p44-MAPK in cells maintained in suspension. These data indicate that a limited degree of adhesion-mediated cytoskeletal organization and focal adhesion complex formation are required for efficient EGF activation of p42 and p44-MAPKs. Our studies exclude a major role for the GTPases RhoA and Rac1 in the formation of cytoskeletal structures relevant for signaling, but indicate that structures regulated by Cdc42 enhance the ability of suspension cells to activate MAPK in response to growth factors.
Association of cortactin with dynamic actin in lamellipodia and on endosomal vesicles

description: We have used fluorescent protein tagging to study the localization and dynamics of the actin-binding protein cortactin in living NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells. Cortactin was localized to active lamellipodia and to small cytoplasmic spots. Time-lapse imaging revealed that these cortactin labeled structures were very dynamic. In the lamellipodia, cortactin labeled structures formed at the leading edge and then moved toward the cell center. Experiments with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged actin showed that cortactin movement was coincident with the actin retrograde flow in the lamellipodia. Cytoplasmic cortactin spots also contained F-actin and were propelled by actin polymerization. Arp3, a component of the arp2/3 complex which is a key regulator of actin polymerization, co-localized with cortactin. Cytoplasmic cortactin-labeled spots were found to be associated with endosomal vesicles. Association was asymmetric and approximately half of the endosomes were associated with cortactin spots. Time-lapse imaging suggested that these cortactin and F-actin-containing spots propelled endosomes. Actin polymerization based propulsion may be a common mechanism for endomembrane trafficking in the same manner as used in the plasma membrane protrusions. As cortactin is known to interact with membrane-associated signaling proteins it could have a role in linking signaling complexes with dynamic actin on endosomes and in lamellipodia.
Focal adhesion kinase suppresses Rho activity to promote focal adhesion turnover

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is activated and localized at focal adhesions upon cell adhesion to extracellular matrices. Cells lacking FAK show increased focal adhesion number and decreased cell migration, functions that are regulated by the small GTPase Rho. We now report that fibroblasts from FAK-/- mice failed to transiently inhibit Rho activity when plated on fibronectin. Re-expression of FAK restored normal Rho regulation. Turnover of focal adhesions correlated inversely with Rho activity. The presence or absence of FAK was mimicked by inhibiting or activating Rho, respectively. These data suggest that loss of FAK resulting in constitutive activation of Rho and inhibition of focal adhesion turnover can account for deficiencies in cell migration and embryonic lethality of the FAK knockout.

description: Exact solutions of an $ f(R) $-theory (of gravity) in a static central (gravitational) field have been studied in the literature quite well, but, to find and study exact solutions in the case of a non-static central field are not easy at all. There are, however, approximation methods of finding a solution in a central field which is not necessarily static. It is shown in this article that an approximate solution of an $f(R)$-theory in a general central field, which is not necessary to be static, can be found perturbatively around a solution of the Einstein equation in the general theory of relativity. In particular, vacuum solutions are found for $f(R)$ of general and some special forms. Further, applications to the investigation of a planetary motion and light's propagation in a central field are presented. An effect of an $f(R)$-gravity is also estimated for the SgrA*--S2 system. The latter gravitational system is much stronger than the Sun--Mercury system, thus the effect could be much stronger and, thus, much more measurable.

description: This study investigates the performance of the TU Wien soil moisture retrieval (TUW-SMR) algorithm by adapting the strength of the vegetation correction. The semiempirical change detection method TUW-SMR exploits the multiangle backscatter observations from spaceborne fan-beam scatterometer systems in order to derive surface soil moisture information expressed in the degree of saturation. The vegetation parameterization of TUW-SMR is controlled by the dry and wet crossover angles that are used to determine the dry and wet backscatter reference. Backscatter observations from the Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) are used to produce four soil moisture data sets based on different dry and wet crossover angles describing: 1) a static, respectively, no vegetation correction; 2) the currently used seasonal vegetation correction; 3) a stronger seasonal vegetation correction; and 4) a spatially variable seasonal vegetation correction with the stronger vegetation correction over vegetated areas and no vegetation correction over bare land. All four ASCAT soil moisture data sets are evaluated against soil moisture estimates from GLDAS-2.1 Noah land surface model and the European Space Agency (ESA) climate change initiative (CCI) Passive v04.5 soil moisture product using the triple collocation method and traditional correlation analysis. The results show that the spatially variable vegetation correction overall improves soil moisture estimates in both more densely vegetated areas, e.g., in large parts of North America and Europe, and more sparsely vegetated, e.g., Western Africa. Nonetheless, the experiment also provides insight into challenging retrieval conditions where the TUW-SMR fails to take all relevant backscatter processes into account, e.g., wetlands and bare soils with subsurface scattering.

We define several polar and azimuthal spin-momentum correlation measures in different event coordinate systems. The values of the spin-momentum correlation measures are calculated up to ${\cal O}(1/m_b^2)$ using the standard OPE und HQET methods. Some of the measures turn out to be sufficiently large to make them good candidates for a determination of the polarization of the $Λ_{\mathrm{b}}$ in e.g. $\mathrm{Z}$ decays.

description: Synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) is a neuronal membrane protein essential for synaptic vesicle exocytosis. To investigate the mechanisms by which SNAP-25 mediates neurosecretion, we performed a search for proteins that interact with SNAP-25 using a yeast two-hybrid screen. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of a SNAP-25-interacting protein that is the rat homologue of mouse hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (Hrs). Hrs specifically interacts with SNAP-25, but not SNAP-23/syndet. The association of Hrs and SNAP-25 is mediated via coiled-coil interactions. Using an Hrs-specific antibody, we have shown that Hrs is highly enriched in brain, where it codistributes with SNAP-25 in most brain regions. Subcellular fractionation studies demonstrate that in brain, Hrs exists in both cytosolic and membrane-associated pools. Studies using indirect immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy reveal that, in addition to early endosomes, Hrs is also localized to large dense-core secretory granules and synaptic-like microvesicles in nerve growth factor-differentiated PC12 cells. Moreover, overexpression of Hrs in PC12 cells inhibits Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis. These results suggest that Hrs is involved in regulation of neurosecretion through interaction with SNAP-25.

description: We describe the detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of the transiting hot Jupiter KELT-2Ab by treating the star-planet system as a spectroscopic binary with high-resolution, ground-based spectroscopy. We resolve the signal of the planet's motion with deep combined flux observations of the star and the planet. In total, six epochs of Keck NIRSPEC $L$-band observations were obtained, and the full data set was subjected to a cross correlation analysis with a grid of self-consistent atmospheric models. We measure a radial projection of the Keplerian velocity, $K_P$, of 148 $\pm$ 7 km s$^{-1}$, consistent with transit measurements, and detect water vapor at 3.8$σ$. We combine NIRSPEC $L$-band data with $Spitzer$ IRAC secondary eclipse data to further probe the metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen ratio of KELT-2Ab's atmosphere. While the NIRSPEC analysis provides few extra constraints on the $Spitzer$ data, it does provide roughly the same constraints on metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen ratio. This bodes well for future investigations of the atmospheres of non-transiting hot Jupiters.

description: There are many sensors and measuring methods for detecting moving objects, each with its advantages and disadvantages. In active tracking methods (based on e.g. GNSS technology), the user is informed and actively participates, for instance by installing a smartphone app. These methods typically have the problem that only a limited part of the moving objects is tracked. In passive tracking methods (e.g. video recognition), the moving person is not informed of being subject to the data acquisition. These methods are typically privacy-invasive. Many techniques also require complex calculations to transform the raw data into accurate and meaningful trajectories of moving objects. However, such trajectories usually require only one point of the moving object at any given time. If the moving object is a person walking or cycling, then such a point of interest is the highest point of the person's head (i.e. “highest point of interest” or HPOI). Detecting this point typically demands computationally intensive mining of the trajectory data, for example using deep learning approaches in video recognition. We present the use of static LiDAR technology, a well-established, precise and anonymous 3D data acquisition method, for this use case. By continuously (i.e. at a high temporal rate) laser scanning an environment in which pedestrians or cyclists move, multiple epochs of point clouds are obtained. A robust vertical threshold filtering allows reducing aforementioned high-dimensional, bulky point cloud data to easily visualisable and interpretable trajectories of HPOIs.
Myosin-X, a novel myosin with pleckstrin homology domains, associates with regions of dynamic actin

description: Myosin-X is the founding member of a novel class of unconventional myosins characterized by a tail domain containing multiple pleckstrin homology domains. We report here the full-length cDNA sequences of human and bovine myosin-X as well as the first characterization of this protein's distribution and biochemical properties. The 235 kDa myosin-X contains a head domain with <45% protein sequence identity to other myosins, three IQ motifs, and a predicted stalk of coiled coil. Like several other unconventional myosins and a plant kinesin, myosin-X contains both a myosin tail homology 4 (MyTH4) domain and a FERM (band 4.1/ezrin/radixin/moesin) domain. The unique tail domain also includes three pleckstrin homology domains, which have been implicated in phosphatidylinositol phospholipid signaling, and three PEST sites, which may allow cleavage of the myosin tail. Most intriguingly, myosin-X in cultured cells is present at the edges of lamellipodia, membrane ruffles, and the tips of filopodial actin bundles. The tail domain structure, biochemical features, and localization of myosin-X suggest that this novel unconventional myosin plays a role in regions of dynamic actin.

description: We present detailed characteristics of linear polarization features (LPFs) in the quiet-Sun photosphere from high resolution observations obtained with Sunrise/IMaX. We explore differently treated data with various noise levels in linear polarization signals, from which structure and dynamics of the LPFs are studied. Physical properties of the detected LPFs are also obtained from the results of Stokes inversions. The number of LPFs, as well as their sizes and polarization signals, are found to be strongly dependent on the noise level, and on the spatial resolution. While the linear polarization with signal-to-noise ratio $\geq4.5$ covers about 26% of the entire area in the least noisy data in our study (with a noise level of $1.7\times10^{-4}$ in the unit of Stokes $I$ continuum), the detected (spatially resolved) LPFs cover about 10% of the area at any given time, with an occurrence rate on the order of $8\times10^{-3}$ s$^{-1}$ arcsec$^{-2}$. The LPFs were found to be short lived (in the range of $30-300$ s), relatively small structures (radii of $\approx0.1-1.5$ arcsec), highly inclined, posing hG fields, and move with an average horizontal speed of 1.2 km s$^{-1}$. The LPFs were observed (almost) equally on both upflow and downflow regions, with intensity contrast always larger than that of the the average quiet-Sun.

Intensive sessions
UT1-UTC

description: So-called Intensive sessions, also referred to as Intensives, are routinely observed one-hour sessions with two to three stations with the primary goal of deriving the Earth's phase of rotation with low latency. Due to the highly restricted number of observations, only a few parameters of interest can be estimated, including zenith wet delays per station, clock offsets, as well as the parameter of main interest, the difference between Universal Time (UT1) and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Thus, the remaining EOP, namely polar motion and nutation, and the station coordinates are fixed to their a priori value making the precision of the UT1-UTC estimates strongly dependent on their accuracy. In this study, the impact of realistic errors in the a priori information of polar motion, nutation, and station coordinates (in north-south, east-west or up-down direction) on the UT1-UTC estimate of Intensive sessions are investigated by applying rigorous simulations. To get a global picture, we generated a 10x10 degree grid of artificial VLBI antennas and scheduled and simulated over 240000 Intensive sessions where different errors were introduced in the simulation process. We find that in contrast to errors in the north-south or east-west components of the station coordinates, an error in the station height only slightly affects the UT1-UTC determination. In general, equatorial baselines are very sensitive to any a priori error, as are baselines with a midpoint close to the equatorial plane as well as very long ones. On the other hand, long east-west oriented baselines that enclose a small angle with the equatorial plane seem to be most resistant against errors in the a priori values. This study shows that the contributions from erroneous a priori information, in general, are not negligible and need to be accounted for when investigating the accuracy of the UT1-UTC estimates from Intensive sessions.
Determining V(ub) from B+ --> D*+(s) e+ e- and B+ --> D*+ e+ e-

description: It was recently pointed out that the decays B^+ --> D^{*+}_s gamma and B^+ --> D^{*+} gamma can be used for an extraction of |V_{ub}|. The theory of these decays is poorly understood. It was shown that in a world of almost degenerate b and c-quarks the decay would be computable. The severe difficulties that are encountered in the realistic calculation stem primarily from the very hard photon produced in the two body decay. We point out that in the decays B^+ --> D^{*+}_s e^+e^- and B^+ --> D^{*+} e^+e^- the photon vertex is soft when the charmed meson is nearly at rest (in the B^+ rest frame). This allows us to compute with some confidence the decay rate in a restricted but interesting kinematic regime. Given enough data the extraction of V_{ub} with reasonably small uncertainties could proceed through an analysis of these exclusive decays much as is done in the determination of V_{cb}.

description: User information needs vary significantly across different tasks, and therefore their queries will also differ considerably in their expressiveness and semantics. Many studies have been proposed to model such query diversity by obtaining query types and building query-dependent ranking models. These studies typically require either a labeled query dataset or clicks from multiple users aggregated over the same document. These techniques, however, are not applicable when manual query labeling is not viable, and aggregated clicks are unavailable due to the private nature of the document collection, e.g., in email search scenarios. In this paper, we study how to obtain query type in an unsupervised fashion and how to incorporate this information into query-dependent ranking models. We first develop a hierarchical clustering algorithm based on truncated SVD and varimax rotation to obtain coarse-to-fine query types. Then, we study three query-dependent ranking models, including two neural models that leverage query type information as additional features, and one novel multi-task neural model that views query type as the label for the auxiliary query cluster prediction task. This multi-task model is trained to simultaneously rank documents and predict query types. Our experiments on tens of millions of real-world email search queries demonstrate that the proposed multi-task model can significantly outperform the baseline neural ranking models, which either do not incorporate query type information or just simply feed query type as an additional feature.

description: Recent observations of several protoplanetary discs have found evidence of departures from flat, circular motion in the inner regions of the disc. One possible explanation for these observations is a disc warp, which could be induced by a planet on a misaligned orbit. We present three-dimensional numerical simulations of the tidal interaction between a protoplanetary disc and a misaligned planet. For low planet masses we show that our simulations accurately model the evolution of inclined planet orbit (up to moderate inclinations). For a planet massive enough to carve a gap, the disc is separated into two components and the gas interior and exterior to the planet orbit evolve separately, forming an inner and outer disc. Due to the inclination of the planet, a warp develops across the planet orbit such that there is a relative tilt and twist between these discs. We show that when other parameters are held constant, the relative inclination that develops between the inner and outer disc depends on the outer radius of the total disc modelled. For a given disc mass, our results suggest that the observational relevance of the warp depends more strongly on the mass of the planet rather than the inclination of the orbit.

Characterization and chromosomal localization of JAM-1, a platelet receptor for a stimulatory monoclonal antibody

description: We have previously reported the purification and characterization of a 32 kDa platelet surface glycoprotein that is recognized by the stimulatory monoclonal antibody, F11. The cDNA has been cloned and found to encode the human homolog of the murine junctional adhesion molecule, JAM; we therefore named this human homolog JAM-1. Northern blot analysis indicated that JAM-1 mRNA is expressed as multiple species, the predominant transcript being approximately 4.0 kb in size. Genetic mapping analysis using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed that it is localized to chromosome 1q21.1-21.3. Recombinant JAM-1, when expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, localized to the cell membrane with intense staining where two adjacent cells actually made contact with each other, suggesting that, similar to murine JAM, human JAM-1 may also localize at the cell-cell junction. In well-spread cells, JAM-1 co-localized with F-actin at the cell-cell contacts and at the membrane ruffles, but not at the stress fibers. Interestingly, JAM-1 localizes only to the cell-cell junctions formed by two transfected cells and not to the cell-cell junctions formed by a transfected cell with an untransfected cell, suggesting that JAM-1 may facilitate cell adhesion through homophilic binding. In addition, human platelets specifically bind to a monolayer of CHO cells expressing human JAM-1, further supporting homophilic interactions. The results presented here indicate that JAM-1, a receptor for a platelet-activating antibody, is the human homolog of the junctional adhesion molecule. JAM-1 is a single copy gene, which is constitutively expressed on various tissues and cells, and may be involved in cell to cell adhesion through homophilic interaction.

description: We present a quenched calculation of the form factors of the semileptonic weak decay $B \to πl \barν$ with $O(1/m_Q)$ NRQCD heavy quark and Wilson light quark on a $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at $β=5.8$. The form factors are evaluated at six heavy quark masses, in the range of $m_Q \sim 1.5-8$ GeV. $1/m_Q$ dependence of matrix elements are investigated and compared with HQET predictions. We observe clear signal for the form factors near $q^2_{max}$, even at the $b$-quark mass range. $f^0(q^2_{max})$ is compared with $f_B/f_π$ based on the soft pion theorem and significant difference is observed.
