Mechanistic investigations of protein arginine N-methyltransferases and elucidation of their implications in the yeast stress response
Creators: name: Brown, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Protein arginine N-methyltransferases (PRMTs) catalyze the transfer of methyl groups from the methyl donor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to polypeptide substrates. PRMTs are conserved among eukaryotes and many of their biological roles, including transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, and RNA processing, have been well elucidated. Another emerging research area is their role in stress pathways. Because of their significance in biological processes, PRMTs are promising drug targets for many human diseases. Knowledge of an enzyme’s kinetic mechanism and roles in cellular pathways can contribute to effective design of PRMT inhibitors. The purpose of this project was to examine how PRMTs bind to and methylate their substrates, and explore their roles in the stress response using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism. Using a combination of steady-state enzyme kinetics and biophysical assays, including differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF), we show that the predominant mammalian PRMT binds its substrates in a sequential manner where target substrate binding follows cofactor binding. By using knockout strains, we demonstrate that methylarginines are expelled from cells undergoing stress and that methylarginine expulsion is driven by autophagy. Further, we demonstrate that yeast do not take up methylarginines from their environment because methylarginines can inhibit nitric oxide production which is important for long-term cell survival under stressful growth conditions. Last, through studying in vitro methylation of yeast lysates using recombinantly expressed enzymes, we identify putative yeast methyltransferase Ynl092wp as a protein histidine N-methyltransferase that binds its substrates using a sequential mechanism and predict that Ykl162cp is an RNA methyltransferase. Here, we use a novel approach to examine the PRMT binding mechanism and we demonstrate that this novel technique is applicable to other enzyme families. Further, we demonstrate how yeast cells can evade cell toxicity by controlling methylarginine flux. Therefore, the research described herein encompasses the full importance and impact of PRMTs and their substrates in eukaryotic biological pathways.
Physical causes of energy-density inhomogenization and stability of energy-density homogeneity in relativistic self--gravitating fluids

description: We identify the factors responsible for the appearance of energy-density inhomogeneities in a self-gravitating fluid, and describe the evolution of those factors from an initially homogeneous distribution. It is shown that a specific combination of the Weyl tensor and/or local anisotropy of pressure and/or dissipative fluxes entails the formation of energy-density inhomogeneities. Different cases are analyzed in detail and in the particular case of dissipative fluids, the role of relaxational processes as well as non-local effects are brought out.

Fertility Postponement and Regional Patterns of Dispersion in Age at First Birth: Descriptive Findings and Interpretations
Creators: name: Nathan, Mathías
name: Pardo, Ignacio
Publisher: name: Federal Institute for Population Research
Year: 2019
Subjects: Fertility; Fertility postponement; Dispersion in age at first birth; Age-specific fertility rates

description: Previous studies have documented an increasing heterogeneity in first-birth timing in countries experiencing the postponement transition. Sobotka (2004), for instance, showed a rising dispersion in age at first birth in developed countries, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States, where the timing polarisation between more and less advantaged women is most evident. However, these studies have included few countries outside Europe and North America, and lack a thorough interpretation of the rising dispersion in first births.

Our aim is to compare the evolution of dispersion in age at first birth in countries in Europe, East Asia, North America and South America.

Using data from the Human Fertility Database and the Human Fertility Collection, we describe the evolution of the period mean age at first birth and its variance for 21 countries since 1970.
In line with previous studies, our results show a widespread pattern of increasing heterogeneity in age at first birth after the onset of the postponement transition, although with marked differences among regions and countries. The greatest heterogeneity can be found in countries where timing of family formation varies greatly among women with different socioeconomic status. Chile and Uruguay, in particular, exhibit the highest heterogeneity even though they are at the beginning of the postponement transition. There is no general explanation of why dispersion increased as the mean age at first birth rose. Further studies in this area should investigate causes and interpretations of this trend, and develop measures for studying heterogeneity in fertility timing.

description: We explore the dynamics of two atoms interacting with a cavity field via deformed operators. Properties of the asymptotic regularization of entanglement measures proving, for example, purity cost, regularized fidelity and accuracy of information transfer are analyzed. We show that the robustness of a bipartite system having a finite number of quantum states vanishes at finite photon numbers, for arbitrary interactions between its constituents and with cavity field. Finally it is shown that the stability of the purity and the fidelity is improved in the absence of the deformation parameters.

description: We give the first accurate results for $B$ and $B_s$ meson masses from lattice QCD including the effect of $u$, $d$ and $s$ sea quarks, and we improve an earlier value for the $B_c$ meson mass. By using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action for $u/d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks and NRQCD for the $b$ quarks, we are able to achieve an accuracy in the masses of around 10 MeV. Our results are: $m_B$ = 5.291(18) GeV, $m_{B_s}$ = 5.363(11) GeV and $m_{B_c}$ = 6.280(10) GeV. Note that all QCD parameters here are tuned from other calculations, so these are parameter free tests of QCD against experiment. We also give scalar, $B_{s0}^*$, and axial vector, $B_{s1}$, meson masses. We find these to be slightly below threshold for decay to $BK$ and $B^*K$ respectively.

description: Research by the University of Washington and partners has led to the creation and implementation of a roadway sustainability rating system called Greenroads®. The Greenroads Rating System (www.greenroads.org) is an independent third-party system that awards points for sustainable design and construction practices and can be used to certify projects. Greenroads started as a small, unfunded research project at the University of Washington in 2007 and has since grown through the Region 10 UTC and other sponsorship to become a fully functional rating system owned and operated by its own nonprofit company, the Greenroads Foundation. It has been, and continues to be, used by roadway projects throughout the United States and globally to deliver sustainable transportation infrastructure. Studies show that a road built to Greenroads standards can result in reduced costs (both initial and long-term), reduced environmental impact, increased livability, and innovation in sustainable practices and markets.

Understanding the dynamic crystallization of glucose through Raman and terahertz spectroscopy
Creators: name: Fredeen, Naomi Victoria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Vibrational spectroscopy offers an opportunity for label-free, non-invasive, and non-destructive analysis methods that can detect subtle changes in biomolecules. Two complementary methods of vibrational spectroscopy that offer these advantages are Raman spectroscopy – with its sensitivity to intramolecular modes – and terahertz spectroscopy – with its sensitivity to intermolecular modes. This thesis investigates the crystallization of amorphous glucose using dynamic Raman and terahertz spectroscopy. The findings show that Raman spectroscopy captures the anomeric conversion of α and β anomers, while THz spectroscopy reveals the change from amorphous to crystalline morphology. Together, the orthogonal capabilities of these technologies can be used to gain a deeper understanding of intramolecular and intermolecular characteristics of glucose.

description: To localize the scalar, fermion, and abelian gauge fields on our 3-brane, a simple mechanism with a hypothetical "magnetic field" in the bulk is proposed. This mechanism is to treat all fields in the equal footing without ad hoc consideration. In addition, the machanism can be easily realized in a flat dimension six Minkowski space and it works even in the weak coupling limit.

description: We propose an explanation for the electronic nematic state observed recently in parent iron-based superconductors [T.-M. Chuang et al., Science 327, 181 (2010)]. We argue that the quasi-one-dimensional nanostructure identified in the quasiparticle interference (QPI) is a consequence of the interplay of the magnetic ($π$, 0) spin-density wave (SDW) order with the underlying electronic structure. We show that the evolution of the QPI peaks largely reflects quasiparticle scattering between electronic bands involved in the SDW formation. Because of the ellipticity of the electron pocket and the fact that only one of the electron pockets is involved in the SDW, the resulting QPI has a pronounced one-dimensional structure. We further predict that the QPI crosses over to two-dimensionality on an energy scale, set by the SDW gap, which we estimate from neutron scattering data to be around 90 meV.

The study estimates the economic impact of the I-73/74 NHS Corridor under two scenarios: completion of the roadway without the use of a P3 and completion using P3s. Using P3s not only offers significant construction cost and time savings but would provide McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Wayne, and Wyoming counties with substantial economic and fiscal impacts.

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the nature of the oxidation products of FeII-III hydroxycarbonate FeII4FeIII2(OH)12CO3~3H2O (green rust GR(CO32-)) by using the miniaturised Mössbauer spectrometer MIMOS II. Two Mössbauer measurements methods are used: method (i) with green rust pastes coated with glycerol and spread into Plexiglas sample holders, and method (ii) with green rust pastes in the same sample holders but introduced into a gas-tight cell with a beryllium window under a continuous nitrogen flow. Method (ii) allows us to follow the continuous deprotonation of GR(CO32-) into the fully ferric deprotonated form FeIII6O4(OH)8CO3~3H2O by adding the correct amount of H2O2, without any further oxidation or degradation of the samples.

description: In this paper first we survey the Turán type inequalities and related problems for the Bessel functions of the first kind. Then we extend the known higher order Turán type inequalities for Bessel functions of the first kind to real parameters and we deduce new closed integral representation formulae for the second kind Neumann type series of Bessel functions of the first kind occurring in the study of Turán determinants of Bessel functions of the first kind. At the end of the paper we prove a Turán type inequality for the Bessel functions of the second kind.

description: We report that the $π$ band of graphene sensitively changes as a function of an external potential induced by Na especially when the potential becomes periodic at low temperature. We have measured the band structures from the graphene layers formed on the 6H-SiC(0001) substrate using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with synchrotron photons. With increasing Na dose, the $π$ band appears to be quickly diffused into background at 85 K whereas it becomes significantly enhanced its spectral intensity at room temperature (RT). A new parabolic band centered at $k\sim$1.15 Å$^{-1}$ also forms near Fermi energy with Na at 85 K while no such a band observed at RT. Such changes in the band structure are found to be reversible with temperature. Analysis based on our first principles calculations suggests that the changes of the $π$ band of graphene be mainly driven by the Na-induced potential especially at low temperature where the potential becomes periodic due to the crystallized Na overlayer. The new parabolic band turns to be the $π$ band of the underlying buffer layer partially filled by the charge transfer from Na adatoms. The five orders of magnitude increased hopping rate of Na adatoms at RT preventing such a charge transfer explains the absence of the new band at RT.

description: The production of heavy neutron-rich nuclei has been investigated using cold fragmentation reactions of $^{238}$U projectiles at relativistic energies. The experiment performed at the high-resolving-power magnetic spectrometer FRS at GSI allowed to identify 45 new heavy neutron-rich nuclei: $^{205}$Pt, $^{207-210}$Au, $^{211-216}$Hg, $^{213-217}$Tl, $^{215-220}$Pb, $^{219-224}$Bi, $^{221-227}$Po, $^{224-229}$At, $^{229-231}$Rn and $^{233}$Fr. The production cross sections of these nuclei were also determined and used to benchmark reaction codes that predict the production of nuclei far from stability.

description: Thanks to ongoing support from the UTC program and other partners, Western Transportation Institute (WTI) researchers at Montana State University have created a fully functional tool that makes it easy for road crews to collect accurate information about wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs). For transportation and resource agencies, the immediate benefits include identification of high risk road segments, access to information that supports mitigation efforts, and the availability of paperless reporting options. If widely deployed, the tool has the potential to increase the collection and cross-jurisdictional sharing of standardized, accurate WVC data across North America. Over the long-term, this may produce broad benefits, including enhanced safety for travelers, preservation of wildlife and their habitats, and targeted initiatives to protect endangered species.

description: Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968, pg. 93-94) stated the importance of requiring a “believable demonstration of the events that can be responsible for the occurrence or non-occurrence of that behavior” in order to achieve a true analysis of behavior. The measure of the implementation of these events (more customarily referred to as treatment integrity) would then obviously be required in order to achieve a believed demonstration for experimental control. There have been relatively mixed results regarding how different treatment integrity errors affect the dependent measure, yet there is an unofficial industry standard of a minimum of 80%. For example, the Single Case Analysis and Review Framework 2.0 (SCARF 2.0) scores positively for >80% treatment integrity; however, it has been demonstrated that 80% implementation is not a uniformly acceptable integrity rating (Jones & St. Peter, 2022). In the most recent edition of the What Works Clearinghouse study evaluation standards (WWC Single-Case Design Standards Version 5.0), there is no minimum percentage standard set for treatment integrity.
Bars do drive spiral density waves

description: Recently, Buta etal. (2009) examined the question "Do Bars Drive Spiral Density Waves?", an idea supported by theoretical studies and also from a preliminary observational analysis Block etal (2004). They estimated maximum bar strengths Q_b, maximum spiral strengths Q_s, and maximum m=2 arm contrasts A_2s for 23 galaxies with deep AAT K_s-band images. These were combined with previously published Q_b and Q_s values for 147 galaxies from the OSUBSGS sample and with the 12 galaxies from Block etal(2004). Weak correlation between Q_b and Q_s was confirmed for the combined sample, whereas the AAT subset alone showed no significant correlations between Q_b and Q_s, nor between Q_b and A_2s. A similar negative result was obtained in Durbala etal. (2009) for 46 galaxies. Based on these studies, the answer to the above question remains uncertain. Here we use a novel approach, and show that although the correlation between the maximum bar and spiral parameters is weak, these parameters do correlate when compared locally. For the OSUBSGS sample a statistically significant correlation is found between the local spiral amplitude, and the forcing due to the bar's potential at the same distance, out to 1.6 bar radii (the typical bar perturbation is then of the order of a few percent). Also for the sample of 23 AAT galaxies we find a significant correlation between local parameters out to 1.4 bar radii. Our new results confirm that, at least in a statistical sense, bars do indeed drive spiral density waves.

Penalized variable selection procedure for Cox models with semiparametric relative risk

description: We study the Cox models with semiparametric relative risk, which can be partially linear with one nonparametric component, or multiple additive or nonadditive nonparametric components. A penalized partial likelihood procedure is proposed to simultaneously estimate the parameters and select variables for both the parametric and the nonparametric parts. Two penalties are applied sequentially. The first penalty, governing the smoothness of the multivariate nonlinear covariate effect function, provides a smoothing spline ANOVA framework that is exploited to derive an empirical model selection tool for the nonparametric part. The second penalty, either the smoothly-clipped-absolute-deviation (SCAD) penalty or the adaptive LASSO penalty, achieves variable selection in the parametric part. We show that the resulting estimator of the parametric part possesses the oracle property, and that the estimator of the nonparametric part achieves the optimal rate of convergence. The proposed procedures are shown to work well in simulation experiments, and then applied to a real data example on sexually transmitted diseases.

description: According to time-distance helioseismology, information about internal fluid motions is encoded in the travel times of solar waves. The inverse problem consists of inferring 3-D vector flows from a set of travel-time measurements. Here we investigate the potential of time-distance helioseismology to infer 3-D convective velocities in the near-surface layers of the Sun. We developed a new Subtractive Optimally Localised Averaging (SOLA) code suitable for pipeline pseudo-automatic processing. Compared to its predecessor, the code was improved by accounting for additional constraints in order to get the right answer within a given noise level. The main aim of this study is to validate results obtained by our inversion code. We simulate travel-time maps using a snapshot from a numerical simulation of solar convective flows, realistic Born travel-time sensitivity kernels, and a realistic model of travel-time noise. These synthetic travel times are inverted for flows and the results compared with the known input flow field. Additional constraints are implemented in the inversion: cross-talk minimization between flow components and spatial localization of inversion coefficients. Using modes f, p1 through p4, we show that horizontal convective flow velocities can be inferred without bias, at a signal-to-noise ratio greater than one in the top 3.5 Mm, provided that observations span at least four days. The vertical component of velocity (v_z), if it were to be weak, is more difficult to infer and is seriously affected by cross-talk from horizontal velocity components. We emphasise that this cross-talk must be explicitly minimised in order to retrieve v_z in the top 1 Mm. We also show that statistical averaging over many different areas of the Sun allows for reliably measuring of average properties of all three flow components in the top 5.5 Mm of the convection zone.

description: Researchers from West Virginia University (WVU) have successfully demonstrated that a low-cost, remotely controlled (R/C) aircraft can provide a stable aerial platform with the potential to aid transportation professionals in a variety of research and applied uses. The small unmanned air vehicle (UAV) acquires high-resolution images that could be used in work zone management, traffic congestion, safety, and environmental impact studies. Compared to fixed-position ground sensors, airborne sensors offer mobility and measurements from multiple perspectives. Additionally, UAVs can be used to perform missions within hazardous environments without endangering the operators.
Rings and ideals parametrized by binary n-ic forms

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)

description: The association of algebraic objects to forms has had many important applications in number theory. Gauss, over two centuries ago, studied quadratic rings and ideals associated to binary quadratic forms, and found that ideal classes of quadratic rings are exactly parametrized by equivalence classes of integral binary quadratic forms. Delone and Faddeev, in 1940, showed that cubic rings are parametrized by equivalence classes of integral binary cubic forms. Birch, Merriman, Nakagawa, Corso, Dvornicich, and Simon have all studied rings associated to binary forms of degree n for any n, but it has not previously been known which rings, and with what additional structure, are associated to binary forms. In this paper, we show exactly what algebraic structures are parametrized by binary n-ic forms, for all n. The algebraic data associated to an integral binary n-ic form includes a ring isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^n$ as a $\mathbb{Z}$-module, an ideal class for that ring, and a condition on the ring and ideal class that comes naturally from geometry. In fact, we prove these parametrizations when any base scheme replaces the integers, and show that the correspondences between forms and the algebraic data are functorial in the base scheme. We give geometric constructions of the rings and ideals from the forms that parametrize them and a simple construction of the form from an appropriate ring and ideal.

description: Despite the relationship between vision, aging, and driving, there is little research on the role that vision care providers (VCPs) play in assessing older patients' driving abilities. A multidisciplinary study team at the University of Michigan (U-M) recently conducted a study to investigate VCPs' attitudes about, barriers to, actions taken regarding, and information used when assessing the driving capabilities of their older adult patients. The study was supported by a grant from the Michigan Center for Advancing Safe Transportation throughout the Lifespan (M-CASTL), a University Transportation Center housed at the U-M Transportation Research Institute.
