Mitigation of nitrous oxide emissions from soils by Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculation

Soybean hosts the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum, that can produce the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. This study shows that nitrous oxide emissions from soybean ecosystems can be biologically mitigated at a field scale by inoculation with strains of B. japonicum that have increased nitrous oxide reductase activity.

Convergent evolution of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants leading to the emergence of BQ.1.1 variant

Recent Omicron SARS-CoV-2 subvariants independently acquire 5 key Spike mutations. Here, the authors evaluate the evolutionary importance of the 5 mutations and characterize the virological properties of variant BQ.1.1 harboring all 5 mutations.

Virological characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 XBB variant derived from recombination of two Omicron subvariants

XBB is the first recombinant, globally dominant variant of SARS-CoV-2. Here, the authors examine the variant’s origins and virological properties, showing it is the first example of SARS-CoV-2 improving its fitness through recombination.

Histone functions as a cell-surface receptor for AGEs

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are believed to be pathogenic molecules that mediate pro-inflammatory responses. Here the authors identify histone as a cell-surface receptor for AGEs and show that AGEs may also be involved in the homeostatic response via binding to histone.

Variants in KCNQ1 are associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus

Masato Kasuga and colleagues and Shiro Maeda and colleagues each report the independent identification of SNPs in KCNQ1 associated with type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population. Each group replicated the associations in other populations of East Asian and European descent.

Bio-based thermosetting resins composed of cardanol novolac and bismaleimide

4,4′-Bismaleimidediphenylmethane (BMI) was cured finally at 250 °C with cardanol (CD) or CD novolac (CDN) prepared by the reaction of CD and paraformaldehyde with CD/maleimide unit ratios 1/2, 1/4 and 1/6. The obtained cured resins with CD/maleimide ratio lower than 1/2 did not show glass transition until 300°C and had 5% weight loss temperature higher than 450°C. The curing mechanism was elucidated by means of the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses of the model reaction products of CD and N-phenylmaleimide (PMI) and the cured resins.

Molecular and structural basis of anti-DNA antibody specificity for pyrrolated proteins

The authors use phage display to develop dual-specific single-chain variable fragments against DNA and N-pyrrolated proteins, providing mechanistic insights into the multi-specificity of anti-DNA antibodies.
