AbstractThe paramount role of $$\mathrm{pH}$$ pH and temperature $$\left(T\right)$$ T in the expansive growth of a plant coleoptile/hypocotyl non-meristematic zone or plant and fungal cells was examined within the framework of the underlying chemical bond statistics in order to reproduce an experimental plot of growth vs. $$\mathrm{pH}$$ pH . Here, according to the definition, $$\mathrm{pH}=\mathrm{pH}\left({\mu }_{{\mathrm{H}}^{+}}\left(T\right), T\right)$$ pH = pH μ H + T , T is considered as a function of the chemical potential of the H+ (hydronium) ions ($${\mu }_{{\mathrm{H}}^{+}})$$ μ H + ) , as well as an implicit and explicit function of $$T$$ T . The derivation of the $$\mathrm{pH}$$ pH and $$T$$ T dependent expansive growth distribution from the Poisson statistics of the “tethers” that reproduce the chemical bonds between microfibrils was determined. The probability distribution for the attachment/detachment/reattachment events of the tethers that are connected to the microfibrils in the elongation zone was obtained. The two distinct but interrelated modes of the expansive growth, which are known as “acid growth” and “auxin growth” were distinguished in the analytic model, while the acid growth hypothesis was verified and confirmed at the semi-empirical and microscopic levels for the first time. Moreover, further perspectives, in which the macroscopic variables $$\left(P, V, T\right)$$ P , V , T with $$P$$ P standing for the turgor pressure and $$V$$ V for the cell volume, and the microscopic variables, $${E}^{{\varvec{d}},{\varvec{r}}}$$ E d , r , which represent the binding energies of the detachment/reattachment events at the expense of ATP energy, and $${\mu }_{{\mathrm{H}}^{+}}$$ μ H + can occur simultaneously, were identified. With a few assumptions that are partly based on experimental data it was possible to synthesise a link between the microscopic, explicit statistical explanation of bond dynamics and the macroscopic rheological properties of the cell wall at a given $$\mathrm{pH}$$ pH and temperature. A statistical description that predicted the importance of $$\mathrm{pH}$$ pH and temperature-dependent chemical potential of the H+ ions in microscopic events that result in growth would be supposedly applicable across scales.

A new complex (Ru(η6-p-cymene)(5-ASA)Cl2) (1) where 5-ASA is 5-aminosalicylic acid has been prepared by reacting the ruthenium arene precursors ((η6-arene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl)2, with the 5-ASA ligands in a 1:1 ratio. Full characterization of complex 1 was accomplished by elemental analysis, IR, and TGA following the structure obtained from a single-crystal X-ray pattern. The structural analysis revealed that complex 1 shows a “piano-stool” geometry with Ru-C (2.160(5)- 2.208(5)Å), Ru-N (2.159(4) Å) distances, which is similar to equivalents sister complex. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to calculate the significant molecular orbital energy levels, binding energies, bond angles, bond lengths, and spectral data (FTIR, NMR, and UV–VIS) of complex 1, consistent with the experimental results. The IR and UV–VIS spectra of complex 1 were computed using all of the methods and choose the most appropriate way to discuss. Hirshfeld surface analysis was also executed to understand the role of weak interactions such as H⋯H, C⋯H, C-H⋯π, and vdW interactions, which play a significant role in the crystal environment’s stability. Moreover, the luminescence results at room temperature show that complex 1 gives a more intense emission band positioned at 465 nm upon excitation at 330 nm makes it a suitable candidate for the building of photoluminescent material.

Abstract. The seasonal variation of mono-and sesquiterpene emission rates of Scots pine was measured from April to October in 2004. The emission rates were measured daily in the afternoons with the exception of weekends. Emissions were measured from two branches; one of them was debudded in May (branch A), while the other was allowed to grow new needles (branch B). The monoterpene emission pattern remained almost constant throughout the measurement period, Δ3-carene being the dominant monoterpene (50-70% of the VOC emission). The standard monoterpene emission potential (30°C) was highest during early summer in June (the average of the two branches 1.35 µg g-1h-1) and lowest during early autumn in September (the average of the two branches 0.20 µg g-1h-1. The monoterpene emission potential of branch A remained low also during October, whereas the emission potential of branch B was very high in October. The sesquiterpenes were mainly emitted during mid summer, the dominant sesquiterpene being β-caryophyllene. Branch A had a higher sesquiterpene emission potential than branch B and the emission maximum occurred concomitant with the high concentration of airborne pathogen spores suggesting a potential defensive role of the sesquiterpene emissions. The sesquiterpene emissions were well correlated with linalool and 1,8-cineol emissions, but not with monoterpenes. Sesquiterpene and 1,8-cineol emissions were equally well described by the temperature dependent and the temperature and light dependent algorithms. This is due to the saturation of the light algorithm as the measurements were always conducted during high light conditions.

AbstractAeromonas salmonicidasubsp.salmonicida(A.s.s) is a major pathogen affecting fisheries worldwide. It is a well-known member of the pigmentedAeromonasspecies, which produces melanin at ≤ 22 °C. However, melanogenesis decreases as the culture temperature increases and is completely suppressed at 30-35 °C while bacterial growth is not affected. The mechanism and biological significance of this temperature-dependent melanogenesis are not clear. Heterologous expression of anA.s.s.4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HppD), the most crucial enzyme in the HGA-melanin synthesis pathway, results in thermosensitive pigmentation inEscherichia coli, suggesting that HppD plays a key role in this process. In the current study, we demonstrated that the extreme thermolability of HppD is responsible for the temperature-dependent melanization ofA.s.s.Substitutions in three residues, Ser18, Pro103, or Leu119 of HppD fromA.s.sincreases the thermolability of this enzyme and results in temperature-independent melanogenesis. Moreover, replacing the corresponding residues of HppD fromAeromonasmedia strain WS, which forms pigment independent of temperature, with those ofA.s.sHppD leads to thermosensitive melanogenesis. Structural analysis suggested that mutations at these sites, especially at position P103, can strengthen the secondary structure of HppD and greatly improve its thermal stability. In addition, we found that HppD sequences of allA.s.sisolates are identical and that two of the three residues are completely conserved withinA.s.sisolates, which clearly distinguishes these from otherAeromonasstrains. We suggest that this property represents an adaptive strategy to the psychrophilic lifestyle ofA.s.s.ImportanceAeromonas salmonicidasubsp.salmonicida(A.s.s) is the causative agent of furunculosis, a bacterial septicemia of cold water fish of theSalmonidaefamily. As it has a well-defined host range,A.s.shas become an ideal model to investigate the co-evolution of host and pathogen. For many pathogens, melanin production is associated with virulence. Although other species ofAeromonascan produce melanin,A.s.sis the only member of this genus that has been reported to exhibit temperature-dependent melanization. Here we demonstrate that thermosensitive melanogenesis inA.s.sstrains is due to the thermolability of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HppD). The strictly conservedhppDsequences amongA.s.sand the exclusive thermosensitive pigmentation of these strains might provide insight into the role of melanin in the adaptation to a particular host, and offer a novel molecular marker to readily differentiateA.s.sstrains from otherA. salmonicidasubspecies andAeromonasspecies.

AbstractSensing and responding to temperature is crucial in biology. The TRPV1 ion channel is a well-studied heat-sensing receptor that is also activated by vanilloid compounds including capsaicin. Despite significant interest, the molecular underpinnings of thermosensing have remained elusive. The TRPV1 S1-S4 membrane domain couples chemical ligand binding to the pore domain during channel gating. However, the role of the S1-S4 domain in thermosensing is unclear. Evaluation of the isolated human TRPV1 S1-S4 domain by solution NMR, Far-UV CD, and intrinsic fluorescence shows that this domain undergoes a non-denaturing temperature-dependent transition with a high thermosensitivity. Further NMR characterization of the temperature-dependent conformational changes suggests the contribution of the S1-S4 domain to thermosensing shares features with known coupling mechanisms between this domain with ligand and pH activation. Taken together, this study shows that the TRPV1 S1-S4 domain contributes to TRPV1 temperature-dependent activation.
