description: Tow time restrictions have been discussed as a potential alternative for sea turtle conservation in fisheries where Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) are known to reduce the targeted catch. Although the length of time a turtle can remain submerged in a trawl is still being evaluated, tows less than 1 hour are expected to result in a negligible number of sea turtle mortalities. Discussion about the feasibility of tow time restrictions often results in concerns about the feasibility of monitoring and compliance with any limit on tow times. The Protected Species Branch of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)'s Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) solicited a contractor to develop and construct a robust, simple, and inexpensive data logger that can be used to enforce tow time restrictions on commercial bottom trawl fishing vessels. These loggers, which are attached to the trawl net or the trawl doors, record the time the units are below a predetermined depth and have a signal (light) alarm to indicate when the time limit has been exceeded. Additionally, the units have a battery life of approximately 4 years and can store up to 4 months' worth of data with the option to overwrite the oldest memory. The units were tested for their ability to reliably record trawl fishing tow duration and detect when a tow has exceeded a time threshold. The loggers have been tested on 9 different vessels fishing for 7 different target species and have held up to the abuses of the salt environment and the shock and vibration of commercial fishing practices. Additionally, because these loggers are programmable, they may have applications in other fisheries where there is a need to monitor, record, or enforce soak durations.

description: Current results of LHC experiments exclude large area of light new particle region, namely natural parameter space, in supersymmetric extension models. One of the possibilities for achieving the correct electroweak symmetry breaking naturally is low scale messenger scenario. Actually, the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model with TeV scale mirage mediation realizes the natural electroweak symmetry breaking with various mass spectra. In this paper, we show the possible mass spectrum in the scenario, e.g. degenerate and/or hierarchical mass spectrum, and discuss these features.

Structural characterization of thiolase and decarboxylase enzymes for biotechnological application in microbial degradation of water pollutants
Creators: name: SUKRITEE BHASKAR
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Structural Biology

description: The central theme of this thesis is to understand the microbial degradation of aromatic compounds. Two enzymes are selected for study, which belong to the central β-ketoadipate pathway, a key aromatic degradation pathway found in Pseudomonas Sp., Acinetobacter Sp. The first protein, β-keto acyl CoA thiolase (PcaF), catalyzes the last step of the β-ketoadipate pathway and the second protein of interest, γ-caboxymuconolactone decarboxylase (PcaC), belong to the protocatechuate branch of the β-ketoadipate pathway. These two proteins are located at two crucial point in the pathway, thus understanding these two catabolic enzymes will aid in development of better bioremediation designs.

description: The major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecule is essential for the development, homeostatic maintenance and activation of CD8 T cells. While it is clear that MHCI molecules are crucial in these processes, it is not clear how the similarities and differences between MHCI molecules and gene dosage influences the resulting CD8 T cell population. This thesis provides a deeper understanding of how the quality and quantity of MHCI affects 1) alloreactive CD8 T cell selection, 2) homeostatic maintenance of peripheral naive CD8 T cells and 3) CD8 T cell activation during infection.

description: Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is an autoimmune disease which is mostly characterised by lower back pain and fusion of the vertebrae. Over 90% of AS patients express the HLA-B27 gene and the probability of disease increases during infection with gastrointestinal bacteria. In this study we look at how mutations in the HLA-B27 gene and infection with Salmonella impact of on its immunological function. We observed that inflammation due to infection drastically increase an abnormal form of HLA-B27, possibly leading to autoimmunity. The data collected in this study would also be valuable for interrogation of other Spondyloarthropathies.

Atopic Dermatitis

description: There is no single cause of eczema. It probably has a mixture of inherited and environmental causes that act together at different times. The roles of miRNAs in the disease are not clearly defined. Originally identified as moderate biological modifiers, microRNAs have recently emerged as powerful regulators of diverse cellular processes with especially important roles in disease and tissue remodeling. Narrowing down a list of differentially expressed candidates in patients with atopic dermatitis we landed into the genomic locus of miR-XXX. Coupled with my finding that overexpression of miR-XXX in human keratinocytes promotes differentiation by causing cell cycle arrest in vitro and the down regulation of miR-XXX in lesional skin of atopic dermatitis displaying altered differentiation/hyperproliferation, I conclude miR-XXX as an important regulator of keratinocyte differentiation in normal skin, deregulation of which is likely the cause of hyperproliferation in atopic dermatitis. My findings raises hope finding potentially new therapeutics for skin disorders relating to inflammation, by restoring the levels of miR-XXX.
One-Way Speed of Light Measurements Without Clock Synchronisation

description: The 1991 DeWitte double one-way 1st order in v/c experiment successfully measured the anisotropy of the speed of light using clocks at each end of the RF coaxial cables. However Spavieri et al., Physics Letters A (2012), doi: 10.1016/j.physleta_2012.0010, have reported that (i) clock effects caused by clock transport should be included, and (ii) that this additional effect cancels the one-way light speed timing effect, implying that one-way light speed experiments "do not actually lead to the measurement of the one-way speed of light or determination of the absolute velocity of the preferred frame". Here we explain that the Spavieri et al. derivation makes an assumption that is not always valid: that the propagation is subject to the usual Fresnel drag effect, which is not the case for RF coaxial cables. As well DeWitte did take account of the clock transport effect. The Spavieri et al. paper has prompted this clarification of these issues.

description: This document is aimed at anyone with an interest in training research scientists to become effective users of bioinformatics services. It derives from the shared experiences of a group of people who work independently in bioinformatics training for life scientists; the group met several times during the period 2009 to 2012 to share their experiences, identify common challenges, (Schneider, M. V. et al., 2010), and agree on a set of common working practices that avoid or address these challenges (e.g. Schneider, M. V. et al., 2011). These meetings were supported by the SLING project, which is funded by the European Commission. This document structures that knowledge, with the aim of sharing it with others who have an interest in bioinformatics training. Its goal is to nucleate a ‘community of practice’ among stakeholders in bioinformatics training, enabling this community to exchange working practices that enhance the quality of training provision in this field. This document does not attempt to represent the views of the global bioinformatics training community, but rather tries to consolidate the various experiences of those who have contributed to it. Future developments and advances in bioinformatics training for life sciences will undoubtedly continue to shape these practices, and we look forward to seeing this document, and training best practice in bioinformatics, evolve through the contributions of others.

description: Staphylococcus aureus, colloquially referred to as ‘golden staph’, represents an emerging threat to public health, with broadly antibiotic resistant strains circulating in the hospital setting. Findings of this thesis have shown that changes occurring within the bacteria during antibiotic therapy, to help the bacteria evade those antibiotics, have further consequences impeding the ability of dendritic cells, a type of innate sensor cells, to detect these bacteria; therefore impeding immune clearance of these bacteria. In explaining how these bacteria avoid immune destruction, this thesis provides a framework for future research into potential immune based non-antibiotic therapies to cure these infections.
Recreating enlightenment in refugee management in eastern Africa: from political narrative to human rights and economic development based approaches
Creators: name: Benishyaka, Alice
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: East Africa has been a volatile region of the continent since the 1960s, due to a wave of decolonization wars and political unrest. The authoritarian regime of Idi Amin in Uganda, the Tanzanian-Ugandan War of the 1970s, the recent collapse of state structures in Somalia, the long-running conflict in the Sudan, and the 1990s violence in the Great Lakes region, all have resulted in the movement of thousands of displaced people in the region. Kenya became a destination for large numbers of refugees. This dissertation explores the evolution of Eastern African countries’ refugee policies using Kenya as an example; it focuses particularly on the theme of burden-sharing with Africa. This theme looks at how various international, regional, and state actors share the burden of accommodating the needs of the refugees. This dissertation further elaborates on the extent to which burden-sharing practices with Africa impacted refugee policies in host East African Countries, mainly Kenya, and how it consequently affected the socioeconomic well-being of refugees. Kenya was more accommodating to refugees in the immediate aftermath of independence during the Cold War period. However, since the 1990s, the Kenyan government has adopted encampment policies with limited freedom of movement. The predominant justification of the shift in policies in Kenya is based on the economic burden and security threat caused by the presence of a high number of refugees. However, I argue that the change in the scope of burden-sharing, from a development assistance approach to humanitarian relief priorities, has led host countries to reduce the quality of refugee protection. Moreover, humanitarian relief is allocated to countries according to the donor’s strategic interests, instead of focusing on human suffering. This goes against the core principles of humanitarianism: humanity, neutrality, impartiality. The humanitarian relief that dominates today’s refugee management practice keeps refugees in an emergency state, in which their humanity as autonomous beings with agency and capability is stripped away. I apply the concept of “dignity-taking,” which involves the “dehumanization and infantilization” that characterizes the impact of the dominant practice of making refugees dependents of humanitarian aid instead of being treated as agents of development.
The role of NF-kappaB transcription factors in Virtual Memory (Tvm) CD8+ T cells

description: This thesis investigates the influence of the NF-kappaB transcription factors in a subset of CD8+ T cells, termed virtual memory cells. Virtual memory cells are T cells that have become activated and acquired enhanced immune functions through mechanisms that normally act to maintain homeostasis of the immune system. NF-kappaB transcription factors are a collection of proteins that function to turn on and off genes. This investigation shows that a member of the NF-kappaB family, RelA, plays an important role in regulating genes in virtual memory cells that are important for their development, function and homeostatic maintenance.

description: In ultrathin ferromagnets deposited on metallic substrates, excitation of precessional motion of the spins produces a spin current in the substrate that transports angular momentum out of the film. This phenomenon is referred to as spin pumping, and is a source of damping of the spin motion. Spin pumping enters importantly in the description of spin dynamics in other nanoscale and subnanoscale systems as well. In this paper, we present an approach based on the Kubo formalism that allows the explicit calculation of this spin current and its spatial variation. We use the formalism to explore features of the spin current generated by spin motions in a simple model system.

description: P-Rex1 is a protein which show negligible expression in normal breast tissue but is upregulated in the luminal subtype of breast cancer. This thesis examined the effects of increased P-Rex1 expression in mammary epithelial cells of mice and demonstrated that P-Rex1 can play a causal role in driving mammary tumour development. Furthermore, expression of P-Rex1 in the mammary gland of a mouse model of breast cancer increased mammary tumour incidence and metastasis. These findings provide in vivo evidence that P-Rex1 plays an oncogenic role in breast cancer and suggest that targeting P-Rex1-regulated molecular signalling pathways may offer therapeutic benefits.

Sirius A: turbulence or mass loss?

description: Context. Abundance anomalies observed in a fraction of A and B stars of both Pop I and II are apparently related to internal particle transport. Aims. Using available constraints from Sirius A, we wish to determine how well evolutionary models including atomic diffusion can explain observed abundance anomalies when either turbulence or mass loss is used as the main competitor to atomic diffusion. Methods. Complete stellar evolution models, including the effects of atomic diffusion and radiative accelerations, have been computed from the zero age main-sequence of 2.1M\odot stars for metallicities of Z0 = 0.01 \pm 0.001 and shown to agree with the observed parameters of Sirius A. Surface abundances were predicted for three values of the mass loss rate and for four values of the mixed surface zone. Results. A mixed mass of ~ 10^-6 M\odot or a mass loss rate of 10^-13 M\odot/yr were determined through comparison with observations. Of the 17 abundances determined observationally which are included in our calculations, up to 15 can be predicted within 2 sigmas and 3 of the 4 determined upper limits are compatible. Conclusions. While the abundance anomalies can be reproduced slightly better using turbulence as the process competing with atomic diffusion, mass loss probably ought to be preferred since the mass loss rate required to fit abundance anomalies is compatible with the observationally determined rate. A mass loss rate within a factor of 2 of 10^-13 M\odot/yr is preferred. This restricts the range of the directly observed mass loss rate.

Mode-coupling theory predictions for the dynamical transitions of the partly pinned fluid systems

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)

description: The predictions of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) for the dynamical arrest scenarios in a partly pinned (PP) fluid system are reported. The corresponding dynamical phase diagram is found to be very similar to that of a related quenched-annealed (QA) system. The only significant qualitative difference lies in the shape of the diffusion-localization lines at high matrix densities, with a re-entry phenomenon for the PP system but not for the QA model, in full agreement with recent computer simulation results. This finding clearly lends support to the predictive power of the MCT for fluid-matrix systems. Finally, the predictions of the MCT are shown to be in stark contrast with those of the random first-order transition theory. The PP systems are thus confirmed as very promising models for tests of theories of the glass transition.

description: Based on the turbulent convection model (TCM) of Li & Yang (2007), we have studied the characteristics of turbulent convection in the envelopes of 2 and 5M stars at the RGB and AGB phases. The TCM has been applied successfully in the whole convective envelopes including the convective unstable zone and the overshooting regions. We find that the convective motions become stronger and stronger when the stellar models are located upper and upper along the Hayashi line. In the convective unstable zone, we find that the turbulent correlations are proportional to functions of a common factor $(\nabla-\nabla_{ad})\bar{T}$, which explains similar distributions of those correlations. For the TCM we find that if the obtained stellar structure of temperature is close to that of the MLT, the convective motion will be at a much larger velocity and thus more violent. However, if the turbulent velocity is adjusted to close to that of the MLT, the superadiabatic convection zone is much more extended inward and a lower effective temperature of the stellar model will be obtained. For the overshooting distance we find that the e-folding lengths of the turbulent kinetic energy k in both the top and bottom overshooting regions decrease as the stellar model is located up along the Hayashi line, but both the extents of the decrease are not obvious. And the overshooting distances of the turbulent correlation $\bar{u_{r}^{'}T^{'}}$ are almost the same for the different stellar models with a same set of TCM's parameters. ...

The system allows an experimental determination of the fourth order time correlation function which is compared to the usual second order correlation functions and to the mechanical response measured on macroscopic scale. The observed dynamics is anisotropic, heterogeneous and super-diffusive on the nanoscale. Different time scales, associated with fast heterogeneous dynamics inside 2D cages and slower motion of larger parts of the film, can be identified from the correlation functions.

description: We present a study of the thermodynamic and physical properties of Ta5Si3 compounds by means of density functional theory based calculations. Among the three different structures (D8m, D8l, D88), the D8l structure (Cr5B3-prototype) is the low temperature phase with a high formation enthalpy of -449.20kJ/mol, the D8m structure (W5Si3-prototype) is the high temperature phase with a formation enthalpy of -419.36kJ/mol, and the D88 structure (Mn5Si3-prototype) is a metastable phase. The optimized lattice constants of the different Ta5Si3 compounds are also in good agreement with the experimental data. The electronic density of states (DOS) and the bonding charge density have also been calculated to elucidate the bonding mechanism in these compounds and the results indicate that bonding is mostly of covalent nature. The elastic constants of the D8m and D8l structures have been calculated together with the different moduli. Finally, by using a quasiharmonic Debye model, the Debye temperature, the heat capacity, the coefficient of thermal expansion and the Grüneisen parameter have also been obtained in the present work. The transformation temperature (2303.7K) between the D8m and the D8l structures has been predicted by means of the Gibbs energy, and this predicted temperature (2303.7K) is close to the experimental value (2433.5K).

description: We report two-dimensional quantum transport in SrMnBi$_2$ single crystals. The linear energy dispersion leads to the unusual nonsaturated linear magnetoresistance since all Dirac fermions occupy the lowest Landau level in the quantum limit. The transverse magnetoresistance exhibits a crossover at a critical field $B^*$ from semiclassical weak-field $B^2$ dependence to the high-field linear-field dependence. With increase in the temperature, the critical field $B^*$ increases and the temperature dependence of $B^*$ satisfies quadratic behavior which is attributed to the Landau level splitting of the linear energy dispersion. The effective magnetoresistant mobility $μ_{MR}\sim 3400$ cm$^2$/Vs is derived. Angular dependent magnetoresistance and quantum oscillations suggest dominant two-dimensional (2D) Fermi surfaces. Our results illustrate the dominant 2D Dirac fermion states in SrMnBi$_2$ and imply that bulk crystals with Bi square nets can be used to study low dimensional electronic transport commonly found in 2D materials like graphene.

description: This survey was conducted to obtain an abundance estimate for the New England harbor seal (Phoca vitulina concolor) population, as the previous estimate (2001) was outdated for stock assessment purposes. Aerial photographic surveys and radio tracking of harbor seals on ledges along the Maine coast were conducted during the pupping period in late May 2012. Twenty-nine harbor seals (20 adults and 9 juveniles) were captured and radio-tagged prior to the aerial survey. Of these, 18 animals (6 adult males, 6 adult females, 2 juvenile males and 4 juvenile females) were available during the survey to develop a correction factor for the fraction of seals not observed. The estimate of harbor seal abundance in 2012 was 75,834 (11,625 standard deviation [sd]; 0.153 coefficient of variation [CV]). Nmin, the lower 20% confidence limit, was 66,884. The 2012 point estimate is 24% lower than the 99,340 reported for 2001. Possible reasons for the lower estimate include changes in survey design, differences in the age/sex ratio of radio-tagged seals available for obtaining a correction factor, differences in harbor seal distribution between 2001 and 2012, and/or that the population has actually declined.

Subjects: subject: Immunology
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: This PhD has focused on an anti-viral protein known as Interferon-Lambda. This protein is important for fighting viruses at mucosal sites of the body such as in the lung and gastrointestinal tract and we have discovered that it is also important for the development of immune cells and generation of normal immune responses to infections. Surprisingly, we have discovered that Interferon-Lambda plays a key role in preventing obesity and maintaining normal blood insulin levels. We hope that by understanding the effects of Interferon-Lambda, we can safely design drugs that mimic or target Interferon-Lambda in a variety of different diseases.

description: Released in 1969, the Italian-French film Queimada! directed by Gillo Pontecorvo narrates a fictitious Caribbean nation’s quest for self-determination amidst competing imperial interests. Queimada! provides many interesting analytical frameworks for the critic-historian in its portrayal of consistent exploitation of brown bodies in the Caribbean; challenges shared by Caribbean nations as they strove for liberation from European and U.S. imperial agendas; and to evade the defining and evaluating of the West. This paper, however, examines a less discussed historical category in academia––the agent provocateur––that is thoroughly explored in the film through the protagonist William Walker. Specifically, this paper compares Queimada!’s cinematic depiction of Walker, as he fueled revolutionary movements on the island by arming revolutionaries and inciting violence, with the diplomatic policies of the United States for Cuba in the pre-1959 antebellum period.

description: This thesis provides visual insights into how Natural Killer cells (a white blood cell in our body) can detect healthy cells from infected cells. However, a virus called cytomegalovirus can infect healthy cells and hide from Natural Killer cells using many evasion strategies. This study provides visual insights into these cytomegalovirus evasion strategies.
Propuesta de un sistema de seleccion de funcionarios de la alta dirección de los ministerios del Perú

Subjects: subject: Public administration

description: Executive Summary

Currently, there is a widespread perception that senior executives in Ministries are, in most cases, not selected through a proper competency and merit-based filter. Instead, they are appointed due to personal connections, political favors, or favoritism.

This issue, which affects all levels of the State, was addressed through the implementation of Law No. 30057, the Civil Service Law, hereinafter referred to as the Servir Law. While this reform was an important step toward improving efficiency in the public sector, its effectiveness has been stalled over time, failing to reach the decision-making levels that truly shape the country's direction.

In response to this reality, we propose the creation of a Selection System for Senior Ministry Officials (SEFADEM), which will be responsible for recruiting the best Level II officials for key decision-making positions within Ministries, such as General Directors, Directors, Heads of General Offices, Heads of Offices, and members of the Advisory Cabinet. This system would be part of the Administrative Human Resources Management System and would be implemented under the authority of its governing body, the National Civil Service Authority (SERVIR), created by Legislative Decree No. 1023 in June 2008.

The proposed system must be approached holistically, ensuring that the appointment of Level II officials is carried out through competitive selection processes led by a Senior Public Management Council. To achieve this, strong support networks, well-structured performance agreements, and the enhancement of institutional frameworks will be necessary. Additionally, the viability of this proposal depends on a national agreement, as this significant reform in attracting true talent to public administration cannot be achieved without the support of the country’s various political forces, as has been done successfully in other nations.

The proposed system aims to be a fundamental tool, alongside the Servir Law and the Public Managers Program, to modernize the recruitment and attraction of senior officials for leadership positions within Ministries.
The architecture of viruses: Structures of a key epitope of HCV, a flagellotropic bacteriophage, and the baculovirus nucleocapsid

description: Viruses are the most abundant biological entity on the planet and infect the entire tree of life. Viruses have an intricate architecture made of proteins which interact with cells and facilitate infection. Using electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography, I determined the structure of key components of three viruses: human hepatitis C virus (HCV); a bacterial virus which kills Salmonella typhi; and the baculovirus which infects agricultural pests. My work has validated vaccination targets for HCV and revealed how bacterial phages produce elaborate structures which protect their genome. Importantly, I have elucidated the previously unknown architecture of the baculovirus.
The 2008 outburst of IGR J17473--2721: evidence for a disk corona?

description: The 2008 outburst of the atoll source IGR J17473--2721 was observed by INTEGRAL, RXTE and Swift. Tens of type-I X-ray bursts were found in this outburst. Joint observations provide sufficient data to look into the behavior of IGR J17473--2721 at the rising part of the outburst. We find that the joint energy spectra can be well fitted with a model composed of a blackbody and a cutoff power-law, with a cutoff energy decreasing from $ \sim$ 150 keV to $\sim$ 40 keV as the source leaves the quiescent state toward the low hard state. This fits into a scenario in which the corona is cooled by the soft X-rays along the outburst evolution, as observed in several other atoll sources. By using the flux measured in the 1.5--30 keV band of the type-I bursts during the outburst, we find that the linear relationship between the burst duration and the flux still holds for those bursts that occur at the decaying part of the low hard state, but with a different slope than the overall one that was estimated with the bursts happening in the whole extent of, and for the rest of the low hard state. The significance of such a dichotomy in the type-I X-ray bursts is $\sim$ 3 $σ$ under an F-test. Similar results are hinted at as well with the broader energy-band that was adopted recently. This dichotomy may be understood in a scenario where part of the accreting material forms a corona on the way of falling onto the surface of the neutron star during the decaying part of the low hard state. Based on the accretion rates of the preceding LHS, estimated from type-I X-ray bursts and from persistent emission, at least for IGR J17473-2721, most of the accretion material may fall on the neutron star (NS) surface in the LHS. Considering the burst behavior in the context of the outburst indicates a corona formed on top of the disk rather than on the NS surface.

description: We face the problem of characterizing the periodic cases in parametric families of (real or complex) rational diffeomorphisms having a fixed point. Our approach relies on the Normal Form Theory, to obtain necessary conditions for the existence of a formal linearization of the map, and on the introduction of a suitable rational parametrization of the parameters of the family. Using these tools we can find a finite set of values p for which the map can be p-periodic, reducing the problem of finding the parameters for which the periodic cases appear to simple computations. We apply our results to several two and three dimensional classes of polynomial or rational maps. In particular we find the global periodic cases for several Lyness type recurrences.

description: This thesis is focused on examining drug resistance mechanisms in an aggressive form of breast cancer. In particular, this work investigates how loss of the tumour suppressor gene PTEN, a common genetic disruption in breast cancer, influences the response to anti-cancer therapies. To achieve this, experimental investigations were combined with mathematical modelling. Research into this area is important as drug resistance is a major challenge and unmet medical need in many cancers, including breast cancer.
Regulation of Clec16A by the RING E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF41

description: Clec16A is an essential cell protein that can regulate insulin secretion, immune cell processes and neurological functions. We discovered that the Clec16A protein can be regulated by another protein RNF41. Indeed, RNF41 interacts with and tags Clec16A for destruction. We have unravelled the pathway that underpins this regulation, and identified further proteins that are involved in this critical process. Understanding this novel pathway will facilitate a deeper understanding of important diseases such as cancer and inflammation.

description: MACPF pore-forming proteins 'punch holes' in cell membranes, as part of their role in immune defence or microbial invasion. However, due to a small number of pore structures, our understanding of how these proteins form pores is incomplete. In this PhD, the structural characterisation of pleurotolysin, a MACPF from the oyster mushroom, was conducted. Structures were determined for pleurotolysin as a single subunit and as an assembled, multi-subunit pore complex. Furthermore, structures were obtained of non-inserted complexes, 'trapped' by molecular pins that tethered the regions responsible for pore formation in place. Together, these structures form snap-shots of how MACPF proteins form pores.
Division, degradation and dynamins - Drp1 and Dnm2 in organelle dynamics and maintenance

description: Mitochondria and peroxisomes, two highly dynamic and specialized compartments in cells, are important for energy production. These compartment are divided by dynamin-proteins, which are also pivotal for cellular dynamics and health. Two dynamins, Dnm2 and Drp1, are components of the division machinery that cuts mitochondria and peroxisomes. However, their hierarchy and involvement in specialized division processes, as well as in degradation pathways was not fully understood. This work clarifies the role of Drp1 and Dnm2 in organelle division and suggests a novel role for Dnm2 in selective cellular degradation processes.
