Culturing of ‘unculturable’ human microbiota reveals novel taxa and extensive sporulation
Our intestinal microbiota harbours a diverse bacterial community required for our health, sustenance and wellbeing. Intestinal colonization begins at birth and climaxes with the acquisition of two dominant groups of strict anaerobic bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla. Culture-independent, genomic approaches have transformed our understanding of the role of the human microbiome in health and many diseases. However, owing to the prevailing...
In situ imaging reveals the biomass of giant protists in the global ocean
Planktonic organisms play crucial roles in oceanic food webs and global biogeochemical cycles. Most of our knowledge about the ecological impact of large zooplankton stems from research on abundant and robust crustaceans, and in particular copepods. A number of the other organisms that comprise planktonic communities are fragile, and therefore hard to sample and quantify, meaning that their abundances and effects on oceanic ecosystems...
Trulia creates new maps to help you ‘Live Well,’ reveals best neighborhoods in cities across U.S.
Moving to a new city or a new neighborhood can involve a lot more than just finding the right...
Backbone NMR reveals allosteric signal transduction networks in the β1-adrenergic receptor
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are physiologically important transmembrane signalling proteins that trigger intracellular responses upon binding of extracellular ligands. Despite recent breakthroughs in GPCR crystallography, the details of ligand-induced signal transduction are not well understood owing to missing dynamical information. In principle, such information can be provided by NMR, but so far only limited data of functional relevance on few side-chain sites of eukaryotic...
Google reveals how much it paid to man who briefly owned Google.com
For all the times you’ve typed “google.com” into a web browser, you probably never stopped to think about what it might mean to own that domain — or own it very briefly and then sell it back to Google. One man found out, as was...
Map reveals that there’s more water ice on Pluto
A color-coded map from NASA’s New Horizons mission shows where Pluto’s frozen water is concentrated, just in case we need to fill up our tanks on the way to Alpha Centauri or Planet Nine. Water ice turns out to be more widespread on...
The genome of the seagrass Zostera marina reveals angiosperm adaptation to the sea
Seagrasses colonized the sea on at least three independent occasions to form the basis of one of the most productive and widespread coastal ecosystems on the planet. Here we report the genome of Zostera marina (L.), the first, to our knowledge, marine angiosperm to be fully sequenced. This reveals unique insights into the genomic losses and gains involved in achieving the structural and physiological...
Structure of a HOIP/E2~ubiquitin complex reveals RBR E3 ligase mechanism and regulation
Ubiquitination is a central process affecting all facets of cellular signalling and function. A critical step in ubiquitination is the transfer of ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme to a substrate or a growing ubiquitin chain, which is mediated by E3 ubiquitin ligases. RING-type E3 ligases typically facilitate the transfer of ubiquitin from the E2 directly to the substrate. The RING-between-RING (RBR) family of...
New study reveals disturbing stats on gender discrimination in tech
“In one review session, one male partner said of a female employee, ‘We don’t have to worry about her bonus or promotion because she just got married. So she’ll probably have a baby and quit soon.'” That’s an account from one of the participants...
