Open AccessMetabolic profiles of prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities in deep-sea sponge Neamphius huxleyi indicated by metagenomics
The whole metabolism of a sponge holobiont and the respective contributions of prokaryotic and eukaryotic symbionts and their associations with the sponge host remain largely unclear. Meanwhile, compared with ...

Open AccessAccidental degeneracy of double Dirac cones in a phononic crystal
Artificial honeycomb lattices with Dirac cone dispersion provide a macroscopic platform to study the massless Dirac quasiparticles and their novel geometric phases. In this paper, a quadruple-degenerate state ...

Functional and molecular features of the calmodulin-interacting protein IQCG required for haematopoiesis in zebrafish
We previously reported a fusion protein NUP98–IQCG in an acute leukaemia, which functions as an aberrant regulator of transcriptional expression, yet the structure and function of IQCG have not been characteri...

Synaptic, transcriptional and chromatin genes disrupted in autism
The genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorder involves the interplay of common and rare variants and their impact on hundreds of genes. Using exome sequencing, here we show that analysis of rare coding ...

Open AccessUtilisation of adsorption and desorption for simultaneously improving protein crystallisation success rate and crystal quality
High-quality protein crystals of suitable size are an important prerequisite for applying X-ray crystallography to determine the 3-dimensional structure of proteins. However, it is often difficult to obtain pr...

Open AccessL-citrulline for protection of endothelial function from ADMA–induced injury in porcine coronary artery
Endogenous nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a cardiovascular risk factor. We tested the hypothesis that L-citrulline may ameliorate the endothelial function altered ...
