    Notes: PU/PMMA IPNs were first synthesized using Co60-γ radiation. The morphology, glass transition behavior, and mechanical properties of the formed IPNs have been studied by TEM, DSC, and electron tensile testing machine. The TEM micrographs and the results of DSC showed that Co60-γ radiation was effective for obtaining small volume sizes of phase domains in IPNs. The structure with two continuous phases occurs in the content range of 40% to 70% PU. The ability of interpenetration enhanced with increasing the content of the crosslinking agents. The mechanical properties of IPNs reflected very good synergistic behavior.

    Description: Nuclear receptors are a superfamily of transcription factors restricted to animals. These transcription factors regulate a wide variety of genes with diverse roles in cellular homeostasis, development, and physiology. The origin and specificity of ligand binding within lineages of nuclear receptors (e.g., subfamilies) continues to be a focus of investigation geared toward understanding how the functions of these proteins were shaped over evolutionary history. Among early-diverging animal lineages, the retinoid X receptor (RXR) is first detected in the placozoan, Trichoplax adhaerens. To gain insight into RXR evolution, we characterized ligand- and DNA-binding activity of the RXR from T. adhaerens (TaRXR). Like bilaterian RXRs, TaRXR specifically bound 9-cis-retinoic acid, which is consistent with a recently published result and supports a conclusion that the ancestral RXR bound ligand. DNA binding site specificity of TaRXR was determined through protein binding microarrays (PBMs) and compared with human RXR. The binding sites for these two RXR proteins were broadly conserved (~85% shared high-affinity sequences within a targeted array), suggesting evolutionary constraint for the regulation of downstream genes. We searched for predicted binding motifs of the T. adhaerens genome within 1000 bases of annotated genes to identify potential regulatory targets. We identified 648 unique protein coding regions with predicted TaRXR binding sites that had diverse predicted functions, with enriched processes related to intracellular signal transduction and protein transport. Together, our data support hypotheses that the original RXR protein in animals bound a ligand with structural similarity to 9-cis-retinoic acid; the DNA motif recognized by RXR has changed little in more than 1 billion years of evolution; and the suite of processes regulated by this transcription factor diversified early in animal evolution.

    Description: Background: Honeybee venom is a complicated defensive toxin that has a wide range of pharmacologically active compounds. Some of these compounds are useful for human therapeutics. There are two major forms of honeybee venom used in pharmacological applications: manually (or reservoir disrupting) extracted glandular venom (GV), and venom extracted through the use of electrical stimulation (ESV). A proteome comparison of these two venom forms and an understanding of the phosphorylation status of ESV, are still very limited. Here, the proteomes of GV and ESV were compared using both gel-based and gel-free proteomics approaches and the phosphoproteome of ESV was determined through the use of TiO2 enrichment. Results: Of the 43 proteins identified in GV, 〈 40% were venom toxins, and 〉 60% of the proteins were non-toxic proteins resulting from contamination by gland tissue damage during extraction and bee death. Of the 17 proteins identified in ESV, 14 proteins (〉80%) were venom toxic proteins and most of them were found in higher abundance than in GV. Moreover, two novel proteins (dehydrogenase/reductase SDR family member 11-like and histone H2B.3-like) and three novel phosphorylation sites (icarapin (S43), phospholipase A-2 (T145), and apamin (T23)) were identified. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that venom extracted manually is different from venom extracted using ESV, and these differences may be important in their use as pharmacological agents. ESV may be more efficient than GV as a potential pharmacological source because of its higher venom protein content, production efficiency, and without the need to kill honeybee. The three newly identified phosphorylated venom proteins in ESV may elicit a different immune response through the specific recognition of antigenic determinants. The two novel venom proteins extend our proteome coverage of honeybee venom.

    Description: Understanding fundamental mechanical behaviors of ice-like crystals is of importance in many engineering aspects. Herein, mechanical characteristics of monocrystalline methane hydrate (MMH) and hexagonal ice (Ih) under mechanical loads are contrasted by atomistic simulations. Effects of engineering strain rate, temperature, crystal orientation, and occupancy of guest molecules on the mechanical properties of MMH are investigated. Results show that the engineering strain rate, temperature, and occupancy of guest molecules in 51262 cages greatly affect the mechanical strength and failure strain of MMH, whereas the effect of crystal orientation on the tensile response of MMH such as along the [100] and [110] directions is negligible. Particularly, the occupancy of guest molecules in 51262 cages primarily governs the mechanical strength and elastic limits of MMH. For Ih, it is tensile stiffer than that of MMH at 263.15 K and 10 MPa, and shows unique mechanical characteristics such as tension-induced stiffening and compression-induced remarkable softening under the [0001] directional load. Both crystals demonstrate brittle fracture behavior but different plasticity with dislocation-free in MMH yet dislocation activities in Ih. The intrinsic differences in the mechanical properties of MMH and monocrystalline Ih mainly result from the host–guest molecule interactions and relative angles which tetrahedral hydrogen bonds make to the loading direction. These mechanical characteristics present microscopic insights to understand the mechanical responses of naturally occurring and artificial synthetic gas hydrates.
