Single-molecule DREEM imaging reveals DNA wrapping around human mitochondrial single-stranded DNA binding protein

NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH, 46(21), 11287–11302.

By: P. Kaur n, M. Longley*, H. Pan n, H. Wang n & W. Copeland*

MeSH headings : DNA, Mitochondrial / chemistry; DNA, Mitochondrial / metabolism; DNA, Single-Stranded / chemistry; DNA, Single-Stranded / metabolism; DNA-Binding Proteins / analysis; DNA-Binding Proteins / chemistry; DNA-Binding Proteins / metabolism; Fluorescence Polarization; Humans; Microscopy, Atomic Force / methods; Mitochondrial Proteins / analysis; Mitochondrial Proteins / chemistry; Mitochondrial Proteins / metabolism; Protein Conformation; Protein Stability; Recombinant Proteins / genetics; Single Molecule Imaging / methods; Static Electricity
TL;DR: Single-molecule imaging suggests mtSSB may not saturate or fully protect single-stranded replication intermediates during mtDNA synthesis, leaving the mitochondrial genome vulnerable to chemical mutagenesis, deletions driven by primer relocation or other actions consistent with clinically observed deletion biases.

A Novel Passive Sampling Technique for Collecting Adult Necrophilous Insects Arriving at Neonate Pig Carcasses

Environmental Entomology, 47(6), 1573–1581.

By: A. Cruise n, D. Watson n & C. Schal n

author keywords: sampling; biodiversity; ecology & behavior; forensic entomology
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Newborn; Cadaver; Coleoptera; Cues; Diptera; Entomology / methods; Forensic Sciences / methods; Odorants; Swine
TL;DR: The vented-chamber method collected significantly more necrophilous flies, representing a greater diversity, than the sweep net, Nevertheless, this approach caught few beetles, and hand collections must be used as well to most effectively sample beetle diversity. (via Semantic Scholar)

Cr(VI) uptake and reduction by biogenic iron (oxyhydr)oxides

Environmental Science: Processes and Impacts, 20(7), 1056–1068.

Contributors: A. Whitaker n, J. Peña*, M. Amor* & O. Duckworth n

MeSH headings : Adsorption; Carcinogens, Environmental / chemistry; Chelating Agents / chemistry; Chromium / chemistry; Ferric Compounds / chemistry; Kinetics; Oxidation-Reduction; Soil Pollutants / chemistry; Water Pollutants, Chemical / chemistry
TL;DR: The redox transformation of mobile Cr(vi) to less soluble Cr(iii) species observed in this study implies that biogenic Fe (oxyhydr)oxides in soils and natural waters may naturally attenuate Cr(ii) concentrations through sorption and reduction processes, thus limiting its transport to downstream environments.
