AbstractThe opportunistic human pathogen Penicillium marneffei exhibits a temperature-dependent dimorphic switch. At 25°, multinucleate, septate hyphae that can undergo differentiation to produce asexual spores (conidia) are produced. At 37° hyphae undergo arthroconidiation to produce uninucleate yeast cells that divide by fission. This work describes the cloning of the P. marneffei gasC gene encoding a G-protein α-subunit that shows high homology to members of the class III fungal Gα-subunits. Characterization of a ΔgasC mutant and strains carrying a dominant-activating gasCG45R or a dominant-interfering gasCG207R allele show that GasC is a crucial regulator of germination. A ΔgasC mutant is severely delayed in germination, whereas strains carrying a dominant-activating gasCG45R allele show a significantly accelerated germination rate. Additionally, GasC signaling positively affects the production of the red pigment by P. marneffei at 25° and negatively affects the onset of conidiation and the conidial yield, showing that GasC function overlaps with functions of the previously described Gα-subunit GasA. In contrast to the S. cerevisiae ortholog Gpa2, our data indicate that GasC is not involved in carbon or nitrogen source sensing and plays no major role in either hyphal or yeast growth or in the switch between these two forms.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Fraction

The uptake and intracellular distribution of haem by isolated rat hepatocyte suspensions was studied. An increase in cell haem content occurred after a challenge with 5, 10 or 20 μM haem, supplied as methaemalbumin. The rate of haem uptake was temperature dependent; no non-specific binding occurred. Intracellular haem distribution data are consistent with a rapid association of haem with the endoplasmic reticulum fraction prior to its accumulation in the cytosol and at the mitochondrion.

Tribological Characterization

A detailed tribological characterization of low-energy, nitrogen implanted V5 at. %Ti alloy is presented. Samples were nitrogen-implanted at an accelerating voltage of 1.2 kV and 1 mA/cm2, up to a dose of 1E19 ions/cm2. The tribological properties of the alloys: microhardness, friction coefficient and wear resistance, have improved after ion implantation and this improvement increases as the implantation temperature increases. The microstructure of the alloys were analysed by transmission electron microscopy. A direct correlation between structural modifications of the nitrogen implanted layer and the improvement in their tribological properties is obtained. For samples implanted at 848 K a nanocomposite layer where the reinforcement particles are TiN precipitates forms. TiN precipitation appears as the responsible of the improvement in the tribological properties.

ABSTRACTSilicon carbide is a promising wide-bandgap semiconductor intended for use in fabrication of high temperature, high power, and fast switching microelectronics components running without cooling. For hydrogen sensing applications, silicon carbide is generally used in conjunction with either palladium or platinum, both of them being good catalysts for hydrogen. Here we are reporting on the temperature-dependent surface morphology and depth profile modifications of Au, Ti, and W electrical contacts deposited on silicon carbide substrates implanted with 20 keV Pd ions.

Samples of EuRu4B4 and of the new boride EuRuB4 were prepared from europium, RuB, and RuB4 precursor alloys, respectively, in sealed tantalum tubes in an induction furnace. EuRu4B4 crystallizes with the LuRu4B4 structure, a = 748.1(1), c = 1502.3(4) pm. The structure of EuRuB4 was refined on the basis of X-ray diffractometer data: Pbam, a = 599.7(1), b = 1160.7(3), c = 358.06(7) pm, wR2 = 0.0691, 474 F2 values, and 38 variables. The four crystallographically independent boron sites build up layers which consist of almost regular pentagons and heptagons which sandwich the ruthenium and europium atoms, respectively. Within the two-dimensional [B4] networks each boron atom has a slightly distorted trigonal-planar boron coordination with B-B distances in the range 172 - 186 pm. Temperature-dependent 151Eu Mössbauer spectra show stable trivalent europium for EuRu4B4 and EuRuB4

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.

ABSTRACTThe compounds La1−xBaxTiO3 (0 ≤ × ≤ 1) have been prepared by arc melting stoichiometric amounts of LaTiO3 and BaTiO3. Single phase samples can be made for the entire stoichiometry range. The polycrystalline samples have been characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility. This series of compounds has been studied as a possible candidate for an early transition metal superconductor.
