Structure of phospholipase Cε reveals an integrated RA1 domain and previously unidentified regulatory elements

Phospholipase Cepsilon (PLCepsilon) generates lipid-derived second messengers in the cardiovascular system at the plasma and perinuclear membranes. It is activated in response to a wide variety of signals, such as those conveyed by Rap1A and Ras, through a mechanism that involves its C-terminal Ras association (RA) domains (RA1 and RA2). However, the complexity and size of PLCepsilon has hindered its structural and functional analysis. In this manuscript, we report the 2.7 Å crystal structure of fragment of PLCepsilon that retains catalytic activity. The strutcure includes the RA1 domain, which forms an integral part of the conserved core. In addition, a highly conserved amphipathic helix in the autoinhibitory X–Y linker is shown to modulate activity in vitro and in cells. The studies provide a structural framework for the core of this critical cardiovascular enzyme that will allow for a better understanding of its regulation and roles in disease.

TransposonDB - database of transposable elements

This record contains some of the supplementary files for the TransposonUltimate package by Riehl et al. Please see https://github.com/DerKevinRiehl/TransposonUltimate for code. <pre>Folder "Assemblies" contains the 40 polished scaffolded assemblies of 20 C. elegans wild isolates, created by Cristian Riccio. 20 assemblies were scaffolded using the VC2010 reference. 20 assemblies were scaffolded using the CB4856 reference. We release the data under the usual Fort Lauderdale/Bermuda agreements. We will publish a paper about these genomes ourselves but we allow you to mine the dataset for a gene-specific analysis. Please contact us if you would like to publish anything using these data before our genome publication. Folder "Classification" contains the TransposonDB in FASTA file format, that was introduced in the context of the transposon classification module "RFSB". Folder "Annotation" contains the transposon annotations of the C. elegans and O. Sativa ssp. Japonica genomes, that were generated using the "reasonaTE" transposon annotation module. Folder "Detection" contains the detected transposition events in the context of the transposon detection module "deTEct". All 20 wild isolates assemblies of C. elegans were used as probe genomes, and compared to the two reference genomes "VC2010" and "CB4856". All combinations were investigated using PBMM2 alignments + PBSV structural variants, and NGMLR alignments + Sniffles structural variants.</pre>

Discrete Element Model Simulations for a Granular Bed Undergoing Shear Deformation

Discrete Element Model (DEM) Archive for, "Shear Variation at the Ice-Till Interface Changes the Spatial Distribution of Till Porosity and Meltwater Drainage" by, Indraneel Kasmalkar, Anders Damsgaard, Liran Goren, Jenny Suckale This dataset contains the output files of the DEM simulations for understanding how the porosity of a granular bed evolves with an imposed laterally varying shear. The DEM simulations are performed using Sphere (<a href="https://src.adamsgaard.dk/sphere/">https://src.adamsgaard.dk/sphere/</a>), developed by Anders Damsgaard. The output files are in the 'output' folder. The porosity values are curated and stored in 'porosities' folder as 4D numpy arrays. The results are generated as .pdf files in the 'Images' folder. The scripts are stored in the 'python' folder. The main file in the 'python' folder is MyVisualization.py. To run the script you will need Python 3.6 or newer, with the following packages: numpy, scipy, matplotlib, colorbrewer, math, pickle In MyVisualization.py, go to line if __name__ == '__main__' Before the line, you can change the variable plot_type to get the plot you need. The options for plot_type are listed in a comment right before the variable. You can limit the plotting to either simple shear ('unif') or laterally varying shear ('hl') within each if condition thereafter

Elemental behaviour during weathering and pedogenesis

Geochemical data of six soil profiles, soil and bedrock samples were analyzed to ascertain the source of red soil materials and, investigate elemental behaviour and weathering intensity across different lithologies in Indonesia. The tested parameters to include major, trace and rare earth elements were done by Beijing Research Institute of Uranium Geology. The concentrations of major elements were determined by an X-ray fluorescence spectrograph (XRF) using the Philips PW2404 X-ray fluorescence spectrometer.

Ash Content and Elemental Composition Dataset from Badas Peat Swamp Forest

This dataset presents peat soil data from the Badas peat swamp forest in Brunei Darussalam, focusing on ash content and elemental compositions to understand fire impacts. Peat samples were collected from two transects established in 2017, with 11 and 14 sampling points, respectively. Cores were extracted to a depth of 150 cm, combined into 12 fractions, and analyzed for ash content and elemental concentrations. Ash content was determined using oven-drying and muffle furnace ashing methods. Elemental analyses for Al, Ca, Fe, and Mg were conducted using acid digestion followed by ICP-AES analysis. The dataset, comprising 300 samples each for ash content and elemental concentrations, provides valuable insights into fire-induced changes in tropical peatlands.

Target enrichment of long open reading frames and ultraconserved elements to link microevolution and macroevolution in non-model organisms

Despite the increasing accessibility of high-throughput sequencing, obtaining high-quality genomic data on non-model organisms without proximate well-assembled and annotated genomes remains challenging. Here we describe a workflow that takes advantage of distant genomic resources and ingroup transcriptomes to select and jointly enrich long open reading frames (ORFs) and ultraconserved elements (UCEs) from genomic samples for integrative studies of microevolutionary and macroevolutionary dynamics. This workflow is applied to samples of the African unionid bivalve tribe Coelaturini (Parreysiinae) at basin and continent-wide scales. Our results indicate that ORFs are efficiently captured without prior identification of intron-exon boundaries. The enrichment of UCEs was less successful but nevertheless produced substantial datasets. Exploratory continent-wide phylogenetic analyses with ORF supercontigs (> 515,000 parsimony informative sites) resulted in a fully resolved phylogeny, the backbone of which was also retrieved with UCEs (> 11,000 informative sites). Variant calling on ORFs and UCEs of Coelaturini from the Malawi Basin produced ~2,000 SNPs per population pair. Estimates of nucleotide diversity and population differentiation were similar for ORFs and UCEs. They were low compared to previous estimates in mollusks, but comparable to those in recently diversifying Malawi cichlids and other taxa at an early stage of speciation. Skimming off-target sequence data from the same enriched libraries of Coelaturini from the Malawi Basin, we reconstructed the maternally-inherited mitogenome, which displays the gene order inferred for the most recent common ancestor of Unionidae. Overall, our workflow and results provide exciting perspectives for integrative genomic studies of microevolutionary and macroevolutionary dynamics in non-model organisms.

Data for the article: Coupling of leaf elemental traits with root fungal community composition reveals a plant resource acquisition strategy in a desert ecosystem

Purpose: Plant-associated microbes enhance nutrient access and stress tolerance of the host species, and therefore, are crucial for plant traits and resource strategies. However, the links between aboveground plant traits and belowground microbes related to plant resource strategies under stressful conditions remain poorly understood. Methods: We tested the relationships between leaf traits linked to water (carbon isotopic composition, δ13C) and nutrient use (elemental concentrations and stoichiometry) with microbial compositions in roots and rhizospheres of two dominant species (Artemisia ordosica and Leymus secalinus) in the Mu Us Desert, northern China. Results: L. secalinus exhibited higher Mg and Mn concentrations, N:P ratios, stoichiometric flexibility, and root fungi:bacteria ratios, but lower foliar K and Ca concentrations and δ13C values than A. ordosica. The leaf N:P of L. secalinus increased with the root fungi:bacteria ratios, whereas the leaf N:P of A. ordosica decreased with the root fungi:bacteria ratios. The plant elemental levels (P, N, K, Ca, Mn, and δ13C) of L. secalinus but not A. ordosica were significantly related to their root fungal composition. Additionally, the random forest model identified four key fungal families in predicting leaf elemental traits for both plant species. Conclusion: The results suggested tight coupling and coordination between leaf elemental traits and root microbial compositions (especially fungal communities) related to plant resource acquisition strategies. By regulating aboveground and belowground feedback loops through trait flexibility and root microbial compositions, the studied plant species can sustain their resource strategies under stressful environmental conditions.
