    Abstract: The Crab Nebula is a bright source of gamma rays powered by the Crab Pulsar’s rotational energy through the formation and termination of a relativistic electron-positron wind. We report the detection of gamma rays from this source with energies from 5 × 10 −4 to 1.1 peta–electron volts with a spectrum showing gradual steepening over three energy decades. The ultrahigh-energy photons imply the presence of a peta–electron volt electron accelerator (a pevatron) in the nebula, with an acceleration rate exceeding 15% of the theoretical limit. We constrain the pevatron’s size between 0.025 and 0.1 parsecs and the magnetic field to ≈110 microgauss. The production rate of peta–electron volt electrons, 2.5 × 10 36 ergs per second, constitutes 0.5% of the pulsar spin-down luminosity, although we cannot exclude a contribution of peta–electron volt protons to the production of the highest-energy gamma rays.

    Abstract: The Higgs boson was postulated nearly five decades ago within the framework of the standard model of particle physics and has been the subject of numerous searches at accelerators around the world. Its discovery would verify the existence of a complex scalar field thought to give mass to three of the carriers of the electroweak force—the W + , W – , and Z 0 bosons—as well as to the fundamental quarks and leptons. The CMS Collaboration has observed, with a statistical significance of five standard deviations, a new particle produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The evidence is strongest in the diphoton and four-lepton (electrons and/or muons) final states, which provide the best mass resolution in the CMS detector. The probability of the observed signal being due to a random fluctuation of the background is about 1 in 3 × 10 6 . The new particle is a boson with spin not equal to 1 and has a mass of about 125 giga–electron volts. Although its measured properties are, within the uncertainties of the present data, consistent with those expected of the Higgs boson, more data are needed to elucidate the precise nature of the new particle.

    Abstract: De novo mutations (DNMs), or mutations that appear in an individual despite not being seen in their parents, are an important source of genetic variation whose impact is relevant to studies of human evolution, genetics, and disease. Utilizing high-coverage whole-genome sequencing data as part of the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Program, we called 93,325 single-nucleotide DNMs across 1,465 trios from an array of diverse human populations, and used them to directly estimate and analyze DNM counts, rates, and spectra. We find a significant positive correlation between local recombination rate and local DNM rate, and that DNM rate explains a substantial portion (8.98 to 34.92%, depending on the model) of the genome-wide variation in population-level genetic variation from 41K unrelated TOPMed samples. Genome-wide heterozygosity does correlate with DNM rate, but only explains 〈 1% of variation. While we are underpowered to see small differences, we do not find significant differences in DNM rate between individuals of European, African, and Latino ancestry, nor across ancestrally distinct segments within admixed individuals. However, we did find significantly fewer DNMs in Amish individuals, even when compared with other Europeans, and even after accounting for parental age and sequencing center. Specifically, we found significant reductions in the number of C→A and T→C mutations in the Amish, which seem to underpin their overall reduction in DNMs. Finally, we calculated near-zero estimates of narrow sense heritability ( h 2 ), which suggest that variation in DNM rate is significantly shaped by nonadditive genetic effects and the environment.

    Abstract: Autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) can be caused by emerging neoantigens that break immune tolerance in humans. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) have been shown to be a critical mechanism that alters protein structure and function to generate neoantigens and induce subsequent autoimmune responses. Previous studies have confirmed that citrulline-modified peptides are a critical source of neoantigens in rheumatoid arthritis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying neoantigen formation and pathogenic autoreactive responses for AS are largely unknown. There is an urgent need to develop a systematic approach to profiling the possible PTMs in patients with AS and identifying AS-associated PTMs responsible for autoreactive neoantigen production to better understand the etiology of autoimmune diseases. RATIONALE AS has been suggested to be an autoimmune disease because of its clear correlation with certain major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles, including HLA-B27. Neoantigens have been hypothesized to induce an aberrant immune response, leading to pathogenic autoreactive T cell responses and autoantibody generation in AS. Here, we developed a systematic open search approach to identify any possible amino acid residues and derivatives in the proteins that are different from the genomic coding sequences. We then applied this information to identify AS-related neoantigens with PTMs within a possible pool of PTM autoantigens and elucidate the pathogenesis of AS. RESULTS An open search approach was applied to identify any possible amino acid derivatives across the proteome of patients with AS. This approach generated a large set of noncoded amino acids representing the mass differences between the coded amino acids and actual residues. Among these, an amino acid derivative with a delta mass of 72.021 showed the greatest increase in patients with AS and resulted from a PTM called cysteine carboxyethylation. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that carboxyethylation at a cysteine residue of integrin αIIb [ITGA2B (CD41)] was catalyzed by cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) in a process that required 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HPA), a metabolite commonly released from gut microbes. Cysteine carboxyethylation induced the lysosomal degradation of ITGA2B and produced neoantigens that triggered MHC-II–dependent CD4 + T cell responses. Fluorescence polarization and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) demonstrated that the identified carboxyethylated peptide (ITGA2B-ceC96) specifically interacted with HLA-DRA*01/HLA-DRB1*04 and was associated with autoantibody production and T cell responses in HLA-DRB1*04 patients. Additional in vitro assays showed that the neoantigen ITGA2B-ceC96 correlated with 3-HPA levels but was independent of CBS expression. HLA-DRB1 haplotype, the carboxyethylated peptide, specific autoantibodies, and 3-HPA levels in patients with AS all correlated with one another. 3-HPA–treated and ITGA2B-ceC96–immunized HLA-DR4 transgenic mice developed colitis and vertebral bone erosion. Thus, cysteine carboxyethylation induced by the metabolite 3-HPA generates a neoantigen that appears to be critical for autoimmune responses in patients with AS. CONCLUSION Cysteine carboxyethylation is an in vivo protein modification induced by the metabolite 3-HPA, which is commonly released from gut microbes. Carboxyethylated ITGA2B then induces autoantibody production and autoimmune response in AS. Our work provides a systematic workflow to identify differentially modified proteins that are important for neoantigen production in immune disorders. This approach furthers our understanding of AS pathogenesis and may aid in the development of neoantigen-based diagnosis and treatment for AS and other autoimmune diseases. Metabolite-induced cysteine carboxyethylation provokes HLA-restricted autoimmune responses in ankylosing spondylitis. 3-HPA, which is commonly obtained from food and gut microbes, induces carboxyethylation of cysteine residues in integrin αIIb (ITGA2B). Cysteine carboxyethylation requires CBS, and carboxyethylated ITGA2B (ITGA2B-ceC96) peptides are recruited to the HLA-DR4 complex and thereby stimulate CD4 + T cell responses closely related to AS.

    Abstract: Nuclear collisions recreate conditions in the universe microseconds after the Big Bang. Only a very small fraction of the emitted fragments are light nuclei, but these states are of fundamental interest. We report the observation of antihypertritons—comprising an antiproton, an antineutron, and an antilambda hyperon—produced by colliding gold nuclei at high energy. Our analysis yields 70 ± 17 antihypertritons ( H ¯ Λ ¯ 3 ) and 157 ± 30 hypertritons ( H Λ 3 ). The measured yields of H Λ 3 ( H ¯ Λ ¯ 3 ) and 3 He ( He ¯ 3 ) are similar, suggesting an equilibrium in coordinate and momentum space populations of up, down, and strange quarks and antiquarks, unlike the pattern observed at lower collision energies. The production and properties of antinuclei, and of nuclei containing strange quarks, have implications spanning nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.

    Abstract: Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) and NL63 (HCoV-NL63) are endemic causes of upper respiratory infections such as the “common cold” but may occasionally cause severe lower respiratory tract disease in the elderly and immunocompromised patients. There are no approved antiviral drugs or vaccines for these common cold coronaviruses (CCCoV). The recent emergence of COVID-19 and the possible cross-reactive antibody and T cell responses between these CCCoV and SARS-CoV-2 emphasize the need to develop experimental animal models for CCCoV. Mice are an ideal experimental animal model for such studies, but are resistant to HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63 infections. Here, we generated 229E and NL63 mouse models by exogenous delivery of their receptors, human hAPN and hACE2 using replication-deficient adenoviruses (Ad5-hAPN and Ad5-hACE2), respectively. Ad5-hAPN- and Ad5-hACE2-sensitized IFNAR −/− and STAT1 −/− mice developed pneumonia characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration with virus clearance occurring 7 d post infection. Ad5-hAPN- and Ad5-hACE2-sensitized mice generated virus-specific T cells and neutralizing antibodies after 229E or NL63 infection, respectively. Remdesivir and a vaccine candidate targeting spike protein of 229E and NL63 accelerated viral clearance of virus in these mice. 229E- and NL63-infected mice were partially protected from SARS-CoV-2 infection, likely mediated by cross-reactive T cell responses. Ad5-hAPN- and Ad5-hACE2-transduced mice are useful for studying pathogenesis and immune responses induced by HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63 infections and for validation of broadly protective vaccines, antibodies, and therapeutics against human respiratory coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract: Conventional theory predicts that ultrahigh lattice thermal conductivity can only occur in crystals composed of strongly bonded light elements, and that it is limited by anharmonic three-phonon processes. We report experimental evidence that departs from these long-held criteria. We measured a local room-temperature thermal conductivity exceeding 1000 watts per meter-kelvin and an average bulk value reaching 900 watts per meter-kelvin in bulk boron arsenide (BAs) crystals, where boron and arsenic are light and heavy elements, respectively. The high values are consistent with a proposal for phonon-band engineering and can only be explained by higher-order phonon processes. These findings yield insight into the physics of heat conduction in solids and show BAs to be the only known semiconductor with ultrahigh thermal conductivity.

    Abstract: High-throughput sequencing technology enables population-level surveys of human genomic variation. Here, we examine the joint allele frequency distributions across continental human populations and present an approach for combining complementary aspects of whole-genome, low-coverage data and targeted high-coverage data. We apply this approach to data generated by the pilot phase of the Thousand Genomes Project, including whole-genome 2–4× coverage data for 179 samples from HapMap European, Asian, and African panels as well as high-coverage target sequencing of the exons of 800 genes from 697 individuals in seven populations. We use the site frequency spectra obtained from these data to infer demographic parameters for an Out-of-Africa model for populations of African, European, and Asian descent and to predict, by a jackknife-based approach, the amount of genetic diversity that will be discovered as sample sizes are increased. We predict that the number of discovered nonsynonymous coding variants will reach 100,000 in each population after ∼1,000 sequenced chromosomes per population, whereas ∼2,500 chromosomes will be needed for the same number of synonymous variants. Beyond this point, the number of segregating sites in the European and Asian panel populations is expected to overcome that of the African panel because of faster recent population growth. Overall, we find that the majority of human genomic variable sites are rare and exhibit little sharing among diverged populations. Our results emphasize that replication of disease association for specific rare genetic variants across diverged populations must overcome both reduced statistical power because of rarity and higher population divergence.

    Abstract: We examined whether persistence of epigenetic DNA methylation (DNA-me) alterations at specific loci over two different time points in people with diabetes are associated with metabolic memory, the prolonged beneficial effects of intensive vs. conventional therapy during the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) on the progression of microvascular outcomes in the long-term follow-up Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) Study. We compared DNA-me profiles in genomic DNA of whole blood (WB) isolated at EDIC Study baseline from 32 cases (DCCT conventional therapy group subjects showing retinopathy or albuminuria progression by EDIC Study year 10) vs. 31 controls (DCCT intensive therapy group subjects without complication progression by EDIC year 10). DNA-me was also profiled in blood monocytes (Monos) of the same patients obtained during EDIC Study years 16–17. In WB, 153 loci depicted hypomethylation, and 225 depicted hypermethylation, whereas in Monos, 155 hypomethylated loci and 247 hypermethylated loci were found (fold change ≥1.3; P 〈 0.005; cases vs. controls). Twelve annotated differentially methylated loci were common in both WB and Monos, including thioredoxin-interacting protein ( TXNIP ), known to be associated with hyperglycemia and related complications. A set of differentially methylated loci depicted similar trends of associations with prior HbA1c in both WB and Monos. In vitro, high glucose induced similar persistent hypomethylation at TXNIP in cultured THP1 Monos. These results show that DNA-me differences during the DCCT persist at certain loci associated with glycemia for several years during the EDIC Study and support an epigenetic explanation for metabolic memory.
