The SAMHD1 Virolog in Mimiviridae as a Defense against Virophages
Creators: name: Yang, Qianyi
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2025
Subjects: Metalloprotein

description: Sterile α motif and HD domain-containing protein (SAMHD1) is the only deoxyribonucleosidetriphosphohydrolase in humans to break down dNTPs into the deoxy-bases and triphosphates toregulate dNTP molecular levels in a nucleotide- and metal-dependent mechanism. SAMHD1 playscritical roles in antiviral defense, cancer biology, and cell cycle progression. Therefore, SAMHD1is a crucial therapeutic target for viral restriction and cancer treatment. Human SAMHD1 employsa strict allosteric regulation to oligomerize into active tetramers upon nucleotide binding. Wecarried out bioinformatic analyses that demonstrated the unexpected occurrence of SAMHD1 ingiant viruses (Mimiviridae family), which are comparable to bacteria in size and genomecomplexity but also become infected by phages. Previous studies identified a defense system inMimivirus to help protect against virophages. Based on this, we hypothesize that viral SAMHD1splay an alternative antiviral strategy, similar to mammals, to deplete dNTP levels and preventvirophage replication. We aim to investigate the diversity and evolutions of SAMHD1 in giantviruses utilizing bioinformatic tools and uncover details of the metallocofactor and allostericactivation of Kv SAMHD1. We found that Mimiviridae SAMHD1 sequences cluster based ongenus, and in the phylogenetic tree, sequences are segregated into two major branches mostlybased on the environmental niches of their hosts. We selected SAMHD1 from Klosneuvirus KNV1(Kv SAMHD1) and Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (Ap SAMHD1) orthologs for furtherstudy. Like Hs SAMHD1, Kv SAMHD1 harbors a dinuclear metal center at the active site. Themutation of a conserved histidine residue at the active site disrupts the coordination of the secondmetal ion and abolishes the enzymatic activity. We also discovered that allosteric site 1 is essentialfor the allosteric activation of Kv SAMHD1, while allosteric site 2 is not critical for activity butregulates the allosteric inhibition by guanosine-based nucleotides. In summary, Kv SAMHD1shares core mechanistic features with Hs SAMHD1, albeit with less strict allosteric regulation.Our work sheds light on elucidating the activity and allosteric regulation of viral SAMHD1s andproposing that SAMHD1 acts as an auxiliary virophage defense system in this family of viruses.

description: Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms are increasingly recognized as crucial determinants of cellular specification and differentiation. During muscle cell differentiation (myogenesis), extensive remodelling of histone acetylation and methylation occurs. Several of these histone modifications aid in the expression of muscle-specific genes and the silencing of genes that block lineage commitment. Therefore, the identification of new epigenetic regulatory mechanisms is of high interest. Still, the functional relevance of numerous histone modifications during myogenesis remain completely uncertain. In this study, we focus on the function of H3K36me3 and its epigenetic writer, SET domain containing 2 (SETD2), in the context of muscle cell differentiation. We first observed that SETD2 expression increases during myogenesis. Targeted depletion of SETD2 in undifferentiated (myoblasts) and differentiated (myotubes) muscle cells reduced H3K36me3 levels and induced profound changes in gene expression and slight alterations in alternative splicing, as determined by deep RNA-sequencing analysis. Enzymes that function in metabolic pathways were upregulated in response to SETD2 depletion. Furthermore, we demonstrated that upregulation of several glycolytic enzymes was associated with an increase in intracellular pyruvate levels in SETD2-depleted cells, indicating a novel role for SETD2 in metabolic programming during myogenesis. Together, our results provide new insight into the signalling pathways controlled by chromatin-modifying enzymes and their associated histone modifications during muscle cell differentiation.

description: This thesis investigates the cult of personality surrounding Joseph Stalin as represented in Renmin Ribao, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, between 1946 and 1969. While existing scholarship has focused extensively on Stalin’s image in the Soviet Union—particularly during the 1930s—this study explores the projection and adaptation of his cult in China during the postwar period. Drawing on a dataset of 328 articles, it combines quantitative and qualitative analysis to examine how Stalin’s portrayal evolved in tandem with the shifting trajectory of Sino-Soviet relations and the Chinese Communist Party’s domestic priorities. The findings reveal two major spikes in coverage: his 70th birthday in 1949 and his death in 1953, after which his image persisted—though in declining frequency—unlike the radical de-Stalinization in the Soviet Union. Qualitatively, the articles framed Stalin as a revolutionary mentor, theoretician, and anti-imperialist symbol, closely aligned with Mao Zedong’s rise and China’s emerging socialist identity. This study argues that China’s selective and sustained invocation of Stalin’s cult served not only to legitimize the CCP’s ideological lineage but also to assert autonomy from Soviet leadership during the Cold War. In doing so, it offers new insights into transnational cults of personality and the symbolic politics of communist regimes.

Lophorrhina garnieri, a new fruit chafer species from north-eastern Uganda (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)
Creators: name: Perissinotto, Renzo
Publisher: name: Fragmenta entomologica
Year: 2021

description: A new species of Lophorrhina Westwood, 1842, L. garnieri sp. nov., was recently discovered in the Labwor Hills range of north-eastern Uganda and is here described. It differs substantially from its closest relative, L. pentachordia (Klug, 1835), particularly at the level of male clypeus but also in the aedeagal parameres, which show an expanded apical surface with lateral projections. In the male of the new species, the clypeus exhibits a smaller apical horn and a narrow and elongate frontal horn, which actually takes the shape of a tapering ridge, rather than a true laminar horn, as is the case in the male L. pentachordia. Other major differences between the two species are manifested in the much more extensive light-yellow ornamentation that characterises the dorsal habitus of L. garnieri in comparison to L. prentachordia and the less protruding and angulate, rather than round, mesometasternal process exhibited by the new species. The female of L. garnieri remains unfortunately unknown. It is likely that the new species represents an isolated population that has remained separated from its relatives through events related to the formation of the East African Great Rift System and for a period long enough to result in speciation. The distribution of the species could potentially include partially connected ranges in western Kenya and South Sudan. In the process of investigating the relationship between this new species and its closest relative, it has also emerged that little information is currently available on the distribution range and biology/ecology of L. pentachordia. A comprehensive data record on its distribution range and period of activity is, therefore, provided here, along with basic information on its habitat preferences, adult diet and response to trapping methods.

description: Iran and Turkey both experienced mass rural-to-urban migratory movements that resulted in part from land reform policies, agricultural mechanization, and industrialization. This thesis explores the historiography of rural-to-urban migration in Iran and Turkey with a focus on migrants who lived in squatter-settlements. It asks how the English-language scholarship about rural-to-urban migration in Iran and Turkey has changed over time in light of historical shifts and analyzes scholarly perspectives about the migrants’ contributions to social and political change. This was achieved through a careful comparative analysis of English-language monographs, journal articles, and newspaper articles about rural-to-urban migration in Iran and Turkey. The scholarship was categorized chronologically using of the 1979 Revolution for the Iranian Studies scholarship and the 1980 military coup for the Turkish Studies scholarship as historical markers in order to observe the thematic trends of the scholarship before and after these years. This study can provide insight into the perceived relationship between urbanization and the rise of political Islam, the affinities between the poor and Islamist organizations, and the explanations for revolutions and political shifts.

description: Methylation of histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36me) by yeast Set2 is critical for the maintenance of chromatin structure and transcriptional fidelity. However, we do not know the full range of Set2/H3K36me functions or the scope of mechanisms that regulate Set2-dependent H3K36 methylation. Here, we show that the APC/CCDC20 complex regulates Set2 protein abundance during the cell cycle. Significantly, absence of Set2-mediated H3K36me causes a loss of cell cycle control and pronounced defects in the transcriptional fidelity of cell cycle regulatory genes, a class of genes that are generally long, hence highly dependent on Set2/H3K36me for their transcriptional fidelity. Because APC/C also controls human SETD2, and SETD2 likewise regulates cell cycle progression, our data imply an evolutionarily conserved cell cycle function for Set2/SETD2 that may explain why recurrent mutations of SETD2 contribute to human disease.

description: Between 2018 and 2022, perceptions of Florida shifted from viewing it as the quintessential swing state to labeling it as solid Republican territory. In a highly polarized political environment, state-level partisanship tends to be quite stable over time, raising important questions about how a deviant case like Florida came to be. In this thesis, I ask, “How did Florida go from a heavily contested battleground to a Republican stronghold?” I specifically explore the case studies of the 2018 and 2022 gubernatorial elections, examining how Ron DeSantis went from winning his first campaign for governor by less than one point to winning reelection by nearly twenty points. In a quantitative approach to my research question, I examined Florida’s population changes by using both public and commercially available data. None of the demographic changes or ideological changes I found were large enough to fully address DeSantis’s increase in his margin of victory by eighteen percentage points. As a result, I also considered the role of campaigns and parties in changing Florida’s electoral competitiveness. In a qualitative approach to my research question, I interviewed thirty-three political operatives in Florida, consisting of seventeen Democrats and sixteen Republicans. They had a variety of backgrounds, including campaign staffers, party officials, legislators, and government employees. I corroborated the information I learned from my interviews with articles from news outlets. I found that the election results in 2022 were made possible in part by demographic factors but also because of functional failures on the Democratic side and consistent organizing on the Republican side. The changes in Florida’s partisan dynamics between 2018 and 2022 imply that swing states can lose their battleground status when one political party declines in quality while the other political party remains the same (or improves), regardless of the actual ideological makeup of that state’s electorate.

Cooking in a New Home: How Chinese Restaurants Reflect Immigration History and Negotiations of a New Cultural Context
Creators: name: Eber, Simon M
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2025
Subjects: Inward and Outward Dynamics
Asian Americans
China

United States

description: Looking at the development of Chinese restaurants in the United States, this thesis demonstrates how culinary traditions are continuously invented and reinvented, placing Chinese cuisine within larger narratives of community creation, cultural expression, and identity. Defining food through a biocultural approach, I examine how diets reflect the intersection of biological need with the cultural, political, social, and economic context in which people find themselves and how food reflects larger negotiations of identity. By demonstrating how development of Chinese restaurants in the United States is shaped by changes in immigration policy, societal attitudes, and Chinese immigrant demographics. I show how changes in those factors affect the process of assimilation for Chinese immigrants, creating what I define as an inward and outward dynamic within Chinese restaurants. These designations reflect how Chinese restaurants serve both a cultural ingroup of Chinese people, who rely on those restaurants as cultural touchstones and places of identity formation, and a cultural outgroup of non-Chinese Americans whose tastes the restaurants seek to accommodate. By analyzing menus, flavors, service, and décor, I chart the shifting balance of this inward and outward dynamic to show how Chinese people in America have preserved their traditional culture, created ethnic capital, and fostered acceptance.
Lost Amidst a World of our Own: Examining World-Construction and Alienation in the Writings of Karl Marx and Hannah Arendt
Creators: name: Nir, Gonny Dalia
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2025

description: Karl Marx and Hannah Arendt offer two of the most influential accounts of alienation in the Western political tradition, accounts that are usually taken to be diametrically opposed. In this project, I challenge this reading of Marx and Arendt by bringing forth a common framework that shapes their seemingly dissimilar accounts. I show how the legacy of post-Kantianism leads both to make a peculiar division between nature and the world of human affairs. I argue that this division enables them to argue that human beings – a concept of which both offer similar, original interpretations – cooperatively build the world they inhabit. I show how their common framework is constructed around their comparable understandings of human beings and the world whose relationship is characterized by mutual dependency. These observations enable me to demonstrate that Marx and Arendt charge modernity with dehumanizing us because it obfuscates the nature of the relationship we have to our world. Thus, both take alienation to be an epistemological problem. I close this study by examining the central ambiguities in the works of Marx and Arendt: the former’s discounting of the political realm and the latter’s discounting of the realm of social production. I argue that Marx’s hostility toward politics is informed by a rigid understanding of what an unalienated existence would prime human beings to be. I show how existing scholarship on Arendt has fundamentally misunderstood the claim she is making against the social because of its neglect of her concern for form and appearance.

The Easy Knot: Computationally Implementing Reidemeister Moves for Unknotting
Creators: name: Zimmerman, Ephraim
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2025
Subjects: knot theory
knot comparison
unknotting problem

description: Picture a very large bundle of knotted string. Could you untie it into a straight lace? How many twists and loops might it take to do so? Although simple in concept, the problem of determining whether a knot can be untangled within a bounded number of moves, and whether it represents another knot, has been proven to be NP-hard. Existing tools for exploring knots primarily focus on identifying knots through invariants and visualizations, making transformations largely manual and difficult to execute. This paper explores the components necessary to reframe the problem through a novel data structure called the Easy Knot. This structure is designed to parametrize knots in a way that enables automated generation, untangling, and comparison, thereby providing a new perspective on the computational complexity of knot simplification and equivalence.

What is Behind Hamas’s Story of Survival?
Creators: name: Roman, Jonathan Edward
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2025
Subjects: Hamas
Palestine
Israel

description: Using the levels of analysis developed by Shai Feldman, Abdel Monem Said Aly, and Khalil Shikaki provides a better understanding of the factors that have enabled Hamas to remain in power. Those levels are the regional, domestic, and individual factors. Regionally, the state actors outside of Israel and Gaza have propped up Hamas, such as Qatar, Iran, and Egypt. Domestic factors, in this case, will indicate how both Israeli and Palestinian politics played a role in Hamas’s survival. Finally, how individual leaders from both Israel and within Hamas have created Hamas’s success story. The most significant factor that explains Hamas's ability to survive is the role of the individual.
Sigmatropic Rearrangements of Polymer Backbones: Vinyl Polymers from Polyesters in One Step

Year: 2021

description: Polymer modification is a fundamental scientific challenge, as a means of both upcycling plastics and extracting a stimulus response from them. To date, the overwhelming majority of polymer modifications has focused on the polymer periphery. Herein, we demonstrate nearly quantitative, scission-free modification of polymer backbones, namely, a metamorphosis of polyesters into vinyl polymers resembling commodity materials via the Ireland-Claisen sigmatropic rearrangement. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal stability of the polyesters undergo dramatic changes post-transformation. Beyond polymer modification, our work advances the application of retrosynthetic analysis in polymer synthesis; the nontraditional production of vinyl polymers from lactones opens the door to a slew of previously inaccessible materials.

Remote Learning and Test Outcomes: District-Level Evidence from Massachusetts During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Creators: name: Giovannucci, Isabel Anna
Publisher: name: Brandeis University

Subjects: Remote learning
COVID-19

description: COVID-19 disrupted education systems globally, with many schools shifting to remote learning. Existing research documents average learning losses during the pandemic, few studies examine how these effects varied by exposure to remote instruction at the grade level. This paper contributes to that gap by analyzing the heterogeneous effects of remote learning across two cohorts of Massachusetts elementary and middle school students who experienced differing levels of inperson instruction during the 2020–2021 school year. Using district-level panel data from 2022–2024 on standardized test scores and a fixed effects regression framework, I quantify the relationship between remote learning exposure and standardized test performance, incorporating both year and district fixed effects. I find that greater time spent learning remotely is significantly associated with lower test scores, and that this negative effect is more pronounced for the younger cohort and for ELA test outcomes for both groups.

description: The ubiquitin-proteasome system is essential for cell cycle progression. Cyclin F is a cell cycle-regulated substrate adapter F-box protein for the Skp1, CUL1, and F-box protein (SCF) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases. Despite its importance in cell cycle progression, identifying cyclin F-bound SCF complex (SCFCyclin F) substrates has remained challenging. Since cyclin F overexpression rescues a yeast mutant in the cdc4 gene, we considered the possibility that other genes that genetically modify cdc4 mutant lethality could also encode cyclin F substrates. We identified the mitochondrial and cytosolic deacylating enzyme sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) as a novel cyclin F substrate. SIRT5 has been implicated in metabolic processes, but its connection to the cell cycle is not known. We show that cyclin F interacts with and controls the ubiquitination, abundance, and stability of SIRT5. We show SIRT5 knockout results in a diminished G1 population and a subsequent increase in both S and G2/M. Global proteomic analyses reveal cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) signaling changes congruent with the cell cycle changes in SIRT5 knockout cells. Together, these data demonstrate that SIRT5 is regulated by cyclin F and suggest a connection between SIRT5, cell cycle regulation, and metabolism.

description: With the development of advanced imaging techniques, scientists are interested in identifying imaging biomarkers that are related to different subtypes or transitional stages of various cancers, neuropsychiatric diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases, among many others. In this paper, we propose a novel spatial multi-category angle-based classifier (SMAC) for the efficient identification of such imaging biomarkers. The proposed SMAC not only utilizes the spatial structure of high-dimensional imaging data but also handles both binary and multi-category classification problems. We introduce an efficient algorithm based on an alternative direction method of multipliers to solve the large-scale optimization problem for SMAC. Both our simulation and real data experiments demonstrate the usefulness of SMAC.

description: Background Eating disorders affect millions of people worldwide, but most never receive treatment. The majority of clinical research on eating disorders has focused on individuals recruited from treatment settings, which may not represent the broader population of people with eating disorders. This study aimed to identify potential differences in the characteristics of individuals with eating disorders based on whether they self-reported accessing treatment or not, in order to contribute to a better understanding of their diverse needs and experiences. Methods The study population included 762 community-recruited individuals (85% female, M±SD age=30±7 years) with bulimia nervosa or binge-eating disorder (BN/BED) enrolled in the Binge Eating Genetics Initiative (BEGIN) United States study arm. Participants completed self-report surveys on demographics, treatment history, past and current eating disorder symptoms, weight history, and their current mental health and gastrointestinal symptoms. Untreated participants (n=291, 38%) were compared with treated participants (n=471, 62%) who self-reported accessing BN/BED treatment at some point in their lives. Results Untreated participants disproportionately self-identified as male and as a racial or ethnic minority compared with treated participants. Treated participants reported a more severe illness history, specifically, an earlier age at onset, more longstanding and frequent eating disorder symptoms over their lifetime, and greater body dissatisfaction and comorbid mental health symptoms (i.e., depression, anxiety, ADHD) at the time of the study. A history of anorexia nervosa was positively associated with treatment engagement. Individuals self-reporting a history of inpatient or residential treatment exhibited the most severe illness history, those with outpatient treatment had a less severe illness history, and untreated individuals had the mildest illness history. Conclusions Historically overlooked and marginalized populations self-reported lower treatment access rates, while those who accessed treatment reported more severe eating disorder and comorbid mental health symptoms, which may have motivated them to seek treatment. Clinic-based recruitment samples may not represent individuals with milder symptoms or racial and ethnic diversity, and males. Community-based recruitment is crucial for improving the ability to apply research findings to broader populations and reducing disparities in medical research.Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04162574 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04162574).
Sources of body comparison and their relation to body image concerns among middle-aged women

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2020

description: The aim of the current study is to evaluate different sources of body comparison (e.g., same-sex peers, models, young adult celebrities, middle-aged celebrities, older celebrities, and self-oriented body comparison to one's younger self) and their relation to body image concerns among middle-aged women. Participants were 347 middle-aged women, ages 40-63, who completed questionnaires. After controlling for multiple comparisons, results indicated that participants engaged in body comparison to same-sex peers most frequently, followed by self-oriented body comparison, compared to other sources, and in body comparison to young adult celebrities significantly less frequently than any other source. Additionally, same-sex peers body comparisons and self-oriented body comparisons were significantly associated with body image concerns above and beyond all other sources of comparison. Results highlight limitations of past research into social comparison due to the lack of consideration of the novel construct of self-oriented body comparison, which demonstrates unique linkages to body image concerns above and beyond previously established external sources.
