@article{145, abstract = {Aged proteins can become hazardous to cellular function, by accumulating molecular damage. This implies that cells should preferentially rely on newly produced ones. We tested this hypothesis in cultured hippocampal neurons, focusing on synaptic transmission. We found that newly synthesized vesicle proteins were incorporated in the actively recycling pool of vesicles responsible for all neurotransmitter release during physiological activity. We observed this for the calcium sensor Synaptotagmin 1, for the neurotransmitter transporter VGAT, and for the fusion protein VAMP2 (Synaptobrevin 2). Metabolic labeling of proteins and visualization by secondary ion mass spectrometry enabled us to query the entire protein makeup of the actively recycling vesicles, which we found to be younger than that of non-recycling vesicles. The young vesicle proteins remained in use for up to ~ 24 h, during which they participated in recycling a few hundred times. They were afterward reluctant to release and were degraded after an additional ~ 24–48 h. We suggest that the recycling pool of synaptic vesicles relies on newly synthesized proteins, while the inactive reserve pool contains older proteins.}, author = {Truckenbrodt, Sven M and Viplav, Abhiyan and Jähne, Sebsatian and Vogts, Angela and Denker, Annette and Wildhagen, Hanna and Fornasiero, Eugenio and Rizzoli, Silvio}, issn = {0261-4189}, journal = {The EMBO Journal}, number = {15}, publisher = {Wiley}, title = {{Newly produced synaptic vesicle proteins are preferentially used in synaptic transmission}}, doi = {10.15252/embj.201798044}, volume = {37}, year = {2018}, } @article{462, abstract = {AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 are endosomal Na+,K+/H+ antiporters that are critical for growth and development in Arabidopsis, but the mechanism behind their action remains unknown. Here, we report that AtNHX5 and AtNHX6, functioning as H+ leak, control auxin homeostasis and auxin-mediated development. We found that nhx5 nhx6 exhibited growth variations of auxin-related defects. We further showed that nhx5 nhx6 was affected in auxin homeostasis. Genetic analysis showed that AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 were required for the function of the ER-localized auxin transporter PIN5. Although AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 were co-localized with PIN5 at ER, they did not interact directly. Instead, the conserved acidic residues in AtNHX5 and AtNHX6, which are essential for exchange activity, were required for PIN5 function. AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 regulated the pH in ER. Overall, AtNHX5 and AtNHX6 may regulate auxin transport across the ER via the pH gradient created by their transport activity. H+-leak pathway provides a fine-tuning mechanism that controls cellular auxin fluxes. }, author = {Fan, Ligang and Zhao, Lei and Hu, Wei and Li, Weina and Novák, Ondřej and Strnad, Miroslav and Simon, Sibu and Friml, Jirí and Shen, Jinbo and Jiang, Liwen and Qiu, Quan}, journal = {Plant, Cell and Environment}, pages = {850 -- 864}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, title = {{NHX antiporters regulate the pH of endoplasmic reticulum and auxin-mediated development}}, doi = {10.1111/pce.13153}, volume = {41}, year = {2018}, } @article{519, abstract = {This study treats with the influence of a symmetry-breaking transversal magnetic field on the nonlinear dynamics of ferrofluidic Taylor-Couette flow – flow confined between two concentric independently rotating cylinders. We detected alternating ‘flip’ solutions which are flow states featuring typical characteristics of slow-fast-dynamics in dynamical systems. The flip corresponds to a temporal change in the axial wavenumber and we find them to appear either as pure 2-fold axisymmetric (due to the symmetry-breaking nature of the applied transversal magnetic field) or involving non-axisymmetric, helical modes in its interim solution. The latter ones show features of typical ribbon solutions. In any case the flip solutions have a preferential first axial wavenumber which corresponds to the more stable state (slow dynamics) and second axial wavenumber, corresponding to the short appearing more unstable state (fast dynamics). However, in both cases the flip time grows exponential with increasing the magnetic field strength before the flip solutions, living on 2-tori invariant manifolds, cease to exist, with lifetime going to infinity. Further we show that ferrofluidic flow turbulence differ from the classical, ordinary (usually at high Reynolds number) turbulence. The applied magnetic field hinders the free motion of ferrofluid partials and therefore smoothen typical turbulent quantities and features so that speaking of mildly chaotic dynamics seems to be a more appropriate expression for the observed motion. }, author = {Altmeyer, Sebastian}, journal = {Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials}, pages = {427 -- 441}, publisher = {Elsevier}, title = {{Non-linear dynamics and alternating ‘flip’ solutions in ferrofluidic Taylor-Couette flow}}, doi = {10.1016/j.jmmm.2017.12.073}, volume = {452}, year = {2018}, } @inproceedings{5679, abstract = {We study the almost-sure termination problem for probabilistic programs.

Moreover, using this approach we can obtain explicit optimal bounds on tail probabilities of non-termination within a given number of steps. Second, we present a new approach based on Central Limit Theorem for the almost-sure termination problem, and show that this approach can establish almost-sure termination of programs which none of the existing approaches can handle.
