SEQUENCE VARIANTS IN THE RYR1 GENE AND GENETIC DISEASES: MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA AND CONGENITAL MYOPATHIES
Creators: name: Perrotta, Giuseppa
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2009

description: This PhD thesis has been focused on the identification and functional characterization of sequence variants in the RYR1 gene, associated with Malignant hyperthermia (MH) and some congenital myopathies (CMs). MH is an autosomal dominant pharmacogenetic disorder caused by an altered intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. This pathology shows a life treatening hypermetabolic crisis after administration of anaesthetics and/or depolarizing muscle relaxants. MH is syntomatologic silent and until now the only sensitive and specific test for the diagnosis of MH is the in vitro contracture test (IVCT), carried out on muscle byopsies. MH presents wide genetic heterogeneity: six genetic loci associated with the MH suscettible phenotype (MHS) have been identified. In more than 70% of MHS patients the locus segregating with the pathology is MHS-1, where the RYR1 gene maps. The RYR1 gene codifies for the ryanodine receptor type 1 (RYR1), a calcium release channel localised in the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) membrane of skeletal muscle and B-lymphocytes. CMs are a heterogeneous group of inherited neuromuscular disorders characterized by hypotonia and muscle weakness, that usually present at birth or early childhood or rarely adulthood. Myophathies linked to RYR1 mutations are differentiated on the basis of the histopathological features in: core myopathies (central core disease, multiminicore disease, nemaline rod myopathy, and centronuclear myopathy), characterized histologically by central cores, multi-minicores, nemaline rods, central nuclei in muscle fibers, respectively; and others myopathies (congenital neuromuscular disease with uniform Type 1 fibers, and congenital fiber-type disproportion myopathy) characterized histologically by the almost exclusive presence of Type 1 muscle fiber and relative hypotrophy of type 1 muscle fibers, respectively. Great phenotypic and histopathological overlap and marked phenotypic variability are present in different myopathies. So far more than 200 sequence variants have been identified in the RYR1 gene, but only 28 variants have been investigated for their functional effect and included in the guidelines for molecular genetic detection of MH susceptibility (www.emhg.org).
In this study, the mutation analysis of the RYR1 gene was performed by Denaturing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (dHPLC) and automatic sequencing in 24 MHS subjects, one CCD patient and one with minicores. 14 RYR1 gene sequence variants, an in-frame insertion variant and several known and novel polymorphisms have been identified. We characterized the effect of nine RYR1 variants on the channel function. The functional characterization was performed by two in vitro assays, proton and calcium release assays, on Epstein-Barr virus immortalized B-lymphocytes from patients carrying the sequence variants. The results showed alterations in the functional activity of the RYR1 mutated channel.

description: Let $R_n=\max_{0\leq j\leq n}S_j-S_n$ be a random walk $S_n$ reflected in its maximum. Except in the trivial case when $P(X\ge0)=1$, $R_n$ will pass over a horizontal boundary of any height in a finite time, with probability 1. We extend this by giving necessary and sufficient conditions for finiteness of passage times of $R_n$ above certain curved (power law) boundaries, as well. The intuition that a degree of heaviness of the negative tail of the distribution of the increments of $S_n$ is necessary for passage of $R_n$ above a high level is correct in most, but not all, cases, as we show. Conditions are also given for the finiteness of the expected passage time of $R_n$ above linear and square root boundaries.

description: Using deep Chandra observations of M84 we study the energetics of the interaction between the black hole and the interstellar medium of this early-type galaxy. We perform a detailed two dimensional reconstruction of the properties of the X-ray emitting gas using a constrained Voronoi tessellation method, identifying the mean trends and carrying out the fluctuation analysis of the thermodynamical properties of the hot ISM. In addition to the PV work associated with the bubble expansion, we identify and measure the wave energy associated with the mildly supersonic bubble expansion. We show that, depending on the age of the cavity and the associated wave, the waves can have a substantial contribution to the total energy release from the AGN. The energy dissipated in the waves tends to be concentrated near the center of M84 and in the direction perpendicular to the bubble outflow, possibly due to the interference of the waves generated by the expansion of northern and southern bubbles. We also find direct evidence for the escape of radio plasma from the ISM of the host galaxy into the intergalactic medium.

description: The non-Gaussian cold spot found in the WMAP data has created controversy about its origin. Here we calculate the Bayesian posterior probability ratios for three different models that could explain the cold spot. A recent work claimed that the Spot could be caused by a cosmic texture, while other papers suggest that it could be due to the gravitational effect produced by an anomalously large void. Also the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect caused by a cluster is taken into account as a possible origin. We perform a template fitting on a 20 degrees radius patch centered at Galactic coordinates (b = -57circ, l = 209) and calculate the posterior probability ratios for the void and Sunyaev-Zeldovich models, comparing the results to those obtained with textures. Taking realistic priors for the parameters, the texture interpretation is favored, while the void and Sunyaev-Zeldovich hypotheses are discarded. The temperature decrement produced by voids or clusters is negligible considering realistic values for the parameters.

description: We present a study of the distribution and kinematics of the neutral gas in the low-inclination Scd galaxy NGC 6946. The galaxy has been observed for 192 hours at 21-cm with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope. These are among the deepest observations ever obtained for a nearby galaxy. We detect widespread high-velocity HI (up to about 100 km/s) and find 121 HI holes, most of which are located in the inner regions where the gas density and the star formation rate are higher. Much of the high-velocity gas appears to be related to star formation and to be, in some cases, associated with HI holes. The overall kinematics of the high-velocity gas is characterized by a slower rotation as compared with the regular disk rotation. We conclude that the high-velocity gas in NGC 6946 is extra-planar and has the same properties as the gaseous halos observed in other spiral galaxies including the Milky Way. Stellar feedback (galactic fountain) is probably at the origin of most of the high-velocity gas and of the HI holes. There are also indications, especially in the outer regions, -an extended HI plume, velocity anomalies, sharp edges, and large-scale asymmmetries- pointing to tidal encounters and recent gas accretion.

description: Semantic localization, i.e., robot self-localization with semantic image modality, is critical in recently emerging embodied AI applications (e.g., point-goal navigation, object-goal navigation, vision language navigation) and topological mapping applications (e.g., graph neural SLAM, ego-centric topological map). However, most existing works on semantic localization focus on passive vision tasks without viewpoint planning, or rely on additional rich modalities (e.g., depth measurements). Thus, the problem is largely unsolved. In this work, we explore a lightweight, entirely CPU-based, domain-adaptive semantic localization framework, called graph neural localizer. Our approach is inspired by two recently emerging technologies: (1) Scene graph, which combines the viewpoint- and appearance- invariance of local and global features; (2) Graph neural network, which enables direct learning/recognition of graph data (i.e., non-vector data). Specifically, a graph convolutional neural network is first trained as a scene graph classifier for passive vision, and then its knowledge is transferred to a reinforcement-learning planner for active vision. Experiments on two scenarios, self-supervised learning and unsupervised domain adaptation, using a photo-realistic Habitat simulator validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: Localized nonlinear modes at valley-Hall interfaces in staggered photonic graphene can be described in the long-wavelength limit by a nonlinear Dirac-like model including spatial dispersion terms. It leads to a modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the wave field amplitude that remarkably incorporates a nonlinear velocity term. We show that this nonlinear velocity correction results in a counter-intuitive stabilization effect for relatively high-amplitude plane-wave-like edge states, which we confirm by calculation of complex-valued small-amplitude perturbation spectra and direct numerical simulation of propagation dynamics in staggered honeycomb waveguide lattices with on-site Kerr nonlinearity. Our findings are relevant to a variety of nonlinear photonic systems described by Dirac-like Hamiltonians.

description: This report summarises the activities carried out in the framework of Work Package 8 Ecosystem baseline. The main objective of this report is to present the developed land units of the countries Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. Land units will provide an overview according to the representativeness of the ecosystems in the three countries and the impact analysis of the potential activities. For this purpose, a review of the main data sources has been carried out through a literature review and a consultation with the project partners. The databases used were Open Source and were sorted according to the date of sampling as well as the scale and information of the sample.Additional tasks in WP8 will require additional data. For that, in this first stage, variables related to ecosystem services have been considered in the compilation and identification of data sources.Finally, 30 databases have been analysed for their suitability to achieve the objectives of this report. Once this analysis had been undertaken, those that showed the most aptitude for classifying the territory in a user-friendly way at country level were selected. This report describes the steps that have been carried out for data management and subsequent analysis. QGIS as a free-to-use georeferenced data management tool has been used for analysis and mapping.The primary challenge in this study has been in data curation and management. This is due to the size and scale at country level. The dominant soils of the three countries are described, as well as the main landforms in each land units.For the identification of potential areas of interest for the collection process, land use maps of the three countries have been made and geo-referenced.All data have been processed with the aim of delving into more detail and accuracy for further work in the project.The results are displayed in tables while the generated database is currently available in the information exchange cloud.All data will be made accessible at the end of the project as part of deliverable 8.3. As well as, the report includes a report prepared by Botswana Institute for Technology Research and Innovation with a specific inventory of soils and vegetation. This information can be used to identify potential harvesting area.

description: Inspection processes to assess damage to buildings and their viability: tools and perspectives after the earthquake in L’Aquila Province
The work following the earthquake in L’Aquila has demonstrated the critical importance of integrating digital maps in the Inspection processes to assess damage to buildings and their viability. A further development of this integration will come from the use of cartographic information in the form of Web Services
standards-compliant Open Geospatial Consortium (WMS, WFS). The massive
amount of data that must be managed during the post-earthquake technical activities for surveys of the damage, also requires the use of computerized procedures of a dedicated ruggedness and reliability and the use of relational DBMS.
Finally, the development and integration in the process of inspection of a photographic database with geo-referenced imagery and orientation of buildings inspected and the corresponding damage to the building and to its level of viability, will allow us have a wealth of information for the optimal management of comprehensive technical and administrative work.

description: Convex optimization methods have been extensively used in the fields of communications and signal processing. However, the theory of quaternion optimization is currently not as fully developed and systematic as that of complex and real optimization. To this end, we establish an essential theory of convex quaternion optimization for signal processing based on the generalized Hamilton-real (GHR) calculus. This is achieved in a way which conforms with traditional complex and real optimization theory. For rigorous, We present five discriminant theorems for convex quaternion functions, and four discriminant criteria for strongly convex quaternion functions. Furthermore, we provide a fundamental theorem for the optimality of convex quaternion optimization problems, and demonstrate its utility through three applications in quaternion signal processing. These results provide a solid theoretical foundation for convex quaternion optimization and open avenues for further developments in signal processing applications.

description: In this paper we study dually flat spaces arising from Delzant polytopes equipped with a symplectic potential together with their corresponding toric Kähler manifolds as their torifications.We introduce a dually flat structure and the associated Bregman divergence on the boundary from the viewpoint of toric Kähler geometry. We show a continuity and a generalized Pythagorean theorem for the divergence on the boundary. We also provide a characterization for a toric Kähler manifold to become a torification of a mixture family on a finite set.

description: We consider the reversible adsorption of dimers on a regular lattice, where adsorption occurs on a finite fraction of sites selected randomly. By comparing this system to the pure system where all sites are available for adsorption, we show that when the activity goes to infinity, there exists a mapping between this model and the pure system at the same density. By examining the susceptibilities, we demonstrate that there is no mapping at finite activity. However, when the site density is small or moderate, this mapping exists up to second order in site density. We also propose and evaluate approximate approaches that may be applied to systems where no analytic result is known.

description: We study magnetic and charge order in the electron-doped high-$T_c$ cuprates based on the one-band Hubbard model with onsite ($U$) and nearest-neighbor $(V)$ interactions. To investigate the interplay between the orders, we employ the Kotliar-Ruckenstein slave-boson method and analyze fluctuations descending from an antiferromagnetic parent state. Our analysis reveals incommensurate charge order whose ordering vector matches the doping-dependence of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements in Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_4$ (NCCO). From our calculations of paramagnon dispersion as well as dynamical charge and spin structure factors, we reproduce all qualitative features of the RIXS signal.

description: Genus Coryphaenoides Gunnerus, 1874
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.— BR 6. Spinous second ray of 1D serrated along leading edge. Anus usually immediately before anal fin. No light organ.
REMARKS.— Coryphaenoides is the second largest genus of Macrouridae, with more than 60 species currently recognized, only four of which are so far known from Taiwan. Six or seven subgenera continue to be recognized, some as full genera, but the circumscription of each of these has not been based on adequate phylogenetic analyses, although some attempts have been made using very limited numbers of species (e.g., Wilson et al. 1991; Wilson 1994), Wilson and Attia (2003) using DNA sequencing, peptide mapping of lactate dehydrogenase, and protein electrophoresis; and Rao-Varón and Ortí (2009) using nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Most of the species appear to have their primary depth range in mid-continental-slope depths, but many occur at lower-slope depths; a few are primarily found on the continental rise at depths of 2000–4000 m, and the deepest-living grenadier, C. yaquinae Iwamoto and Stein, 1974, has been captured in abyssal depths below 6000 m. That species and C. armatus (Hector, 1874) can be expected in Taiwan waters deeper than about 4000 m, and other Coryphaenoides species are likely to be found when depths greater than 2000 m are more thoroughly sampled. As might be expected from fishes of great depths, many of the species are known from widely separated areas throughout the world oceans. A few of the larger members of this genus are of some commercial importance. The Roundnose grenadier (C. rupestris) of the North Atlantic has long been targeted by commercial fishermen and some stocks have become severely depleted. The Pacific grenadier (Coryphaenoides acrolepis) is the target of a very limited fishery off northern California.

“A DNA Damage Response (DDR) –independent Role for the Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) Gene Product"
Creators: name: Palazzo, Luca
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II

description: Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) is a recessive hereditary syndrome characterized by cerebellar degeneration, telangiectasia, precocious aging, immunodeficiency, cancer predisposition and insulin-resistant diabetes. A-T is caused by defects in Ataxia-Telagiectasia Mutated (Atm) gene. Atm encodes a ser/thr kinase (ATM) of the PI3 kinase family that plays a crucial role in the DNA damage response (DDR). Although some A-T features are easily explained by defects in DDR, others, like precocious aging, insulin-resistant diabetes and the recently described whole chromosome instability, are not. We, thus, searched for possible DDR-independent roles of ATM. To this end, we analyzed human cells in which ATM was chemically or genetically downregulated in the absence of any DNA damaging insult. We observed that ATM downregulation induced abnormal mitotic figures. The phenotypes ranged from abnormal mitotic spindles that were displaced from the cell centre, indicating loss of cortical interaction of astral microtubules, to spindles with extra poles that slowly coalesced to form pseudo-bipolar spindles. Often the extra poles lacked the centrosome marker gamma-tubulin. These alterations resembled that of previously described mitotic phenotypes induced by genetic knock-down of the poly(ADP-ribosyl)-polymerase Tankyrase 1 (TNKS1). The mitotic phenotypes have been ascribed to reduced TNKS1-dependent poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of the Nuclear and Mitotic Apparatus protein 1 (NuMA1). Indeed, we found that ATM down-regulation impaired mitotic poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of NuMA1. We further observed that ATM physically interacted with TNKS1. ATM activity was required for TNKS1-dependent poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of NuMa1, perhaps through ATM-dependent phosphorylation of NuMa1, but not for ATM-TNKS1 interaction. Previous observations have shown that TNKS1 controls telomere length by (poly(ADP-ribosyl)ating TRF1 and glucose uptake by regulating insulin-dependent transport into the plasma-membrane of the glucose transporter Glut-4. We propose that the ATM-dependent control of TNKS1 function, independently of DDR, could explain several A-T features and shed light on new therapeutic approaches for the A-T syndrome.

description: Cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for studying emission properties of optoelectronic materials because CL is free from excitable bandgap limits and from ambiguous signals due to simple light scattering and resonant Raman scattering potentially involved in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra. However, direct CL measurements of atomically thin two-dimensional materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), have been difficult due to the small excitation volume that interacts with high-energy electron beams (e-beams). Herein, distinct CL signals from a monolayer hBN, namely mBN, epitaxial film grown on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate are shown by using a home-made CL system capable of large-area and surface-sensitive excitation by an e-beam. The spatially resolved CL spectra at 13 K exhibited a predominant 5.5-eV emission band, which has been ascribed to originate from multilayered aggregates of hBN, markedly at thicker areas formed on the step edges of the substrate. Conversely, a faint peak at 6.04 eV was routinely observed from atomically flat areas. Since the energy agreed with the PL peak of 6.05 eV at 10 K that has been assigned as being due to the recombination of phonon-assisted direct excitons of mBN by Elias et al. [Nat. Commun. 10, 2639 (2019)], the CL peak at 6.04 eV is attributed to originate from the mBN epilayer. The CL results support the transition from indirect bandgap in bulk hBN to direct bandgap in mBN, in analogy with molybdenum disulfide. The results also encourage to elucidate emission properties of other low-dimensional materials with reduced excitation volumes by using the present CL configuration.

description: We demonstrate the spin valve effect by ballistic transport in fully epitaxial MnAs ferromagnetic metal / GaAs semiconductor / GaAs:MnAs granular hybrid heterostructures. The GaAs:MnAs material contains ferromagnetic MnAs nanoparticles in a GaAs matrix, and acts as a spin injector and a spin detector. Although the barrier height of the GaAs/MnAs interface was found to be very small, relatively large magnetoresistance was observed. This result shows that by using ballistic transport, we can realize a large spin valve effect without inserting a high tunnel barrier at the ferromagnetic metal / semiconductor interface.

description: Pedestrian accessibility is an important factor in urban transport and land use policy and critical for creating healthy, sustainable cities. Developing and evaluating indicators measuring inequalities in pedestrian accessibility can help planners and policymakers benchmark and monitor the progress of city planning interventions. However, measuring and assessing indicators of urban design and transport features at high resolution worldwide to enable city comparisons is challenging due to limited availability of official, high quality, and comparable spatial data, as well as spatial analysis tools offering customizable frameworks for indicator construction and analysis. To address these challenges, this study develops an open source software framework to construct pedestrian accessibility indicators for cities using open and consistent data. It presents a generalized method to consistently measure pedestrian accessibility at high resolution and spatially aggregated scale, to allow for both within- and between-city analyses. The open source and open data methods developed in this study can be extended to other cities worldwide to support local planning and policymaking. The software is made publicly available for reuse in an open repository.
