Sirtuins comprise a unique class of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylases that target multiple protein substrates to execute diverse biological functions. These enzymes are
key regulators of clinically important cellular and organismal processes, including metabolism, cell division and aging. The
desire to understand the important determinants of human health and lifespan has resulted in a firestorm of work on the seven
mammalian sirtuins in less than a decade. The implication of sirtuins in medically important areas such as diabetes, cancer,
cardiovascular dysfunction and neurodegenerative disease has further catapulted them to a prominent status as potential targets
for nutritional and therapeutic development. Here, we present a review of published results on sirtuin biology and its relevance
to human disease.

20世纪50年代集体化改革之前小凉山奴隶制度特有的社会经济进程表明,诺苏社会曾是一个拥有奴隶的社会,但它并不是奴隶社会。该结论基于其他关于奴隶制研究中的传统观念即在奴隶社会中奴隶制是体系得以维持的关键所在。1956年之前,小凉山的生产目的是生计而不是市场。此外,小凉山的精英阶层更依赖于系谱或继嗣,而不是财富;另一个相关论点是,在诺苏身份和认同的决定中,亲属比等级发挥了更为基础的作用。 相似文献

Loss and recovery of wings in stick insects 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
The evolution of wings was the central adaptation allowing insects to escape predators, exploit scattered resources, and disperse into new niches, resulting in radiations into vast numbers of species. Despite the presumed evolutionary advantages associated with full-sized wings (macroptery), nearly all pterygote (winged) orders have many partially winged (brachypterous) or wingless (apterous) lineages, and some entire orders are secondarily wingless (for example, fleas, lice, grylloblattids and mantophasmatids), with about 5% of extant pterygote species being flightless. Thousands of independent transitions from a winged form to winglessness have occurred during the course of insect evolution; however, an evolutionary reversal from a flightless to a volant form has never been demonstrated clearly for any pterygote lineage. Such a reversal is considered highly unlikely because complex interactions between nerves, muscles, sclerites and wing foils are required to accommodate flight. Here we show that stick insects (order Phasmatodea) diversified as wingless insects and that wings were derived secondarily, perhaps on many occasions. These results suggest that wing developmental pathways are conserved in wingless phasmids, and that 're-evolution' of wings has had an unrecognized role in insect diversification. 相似文献

In this article, we review the results of recent proteomic and genomic analyses of eggshell matrix proteins and draw attention
to the impact of these data on current understanding of eggshell formation and function. Eggshell-specific matrix proteins
from avian (ovocleidins and ovocalyxins) and non-avian (paleovaterin) shells are discussed. Two possible roles for eggshell-specific
matrix proteins have been proposed; both reflect the protective function of the eggshell in avian reproduction: regulation
of eggshell mineralization and antimicrobial defense. An emerging concept is the dual role (mineralization/antimicrobial protection)
that certain eggshell matrix proteins can play. 相似文献

This paper is concerned with time-series forecasting based on the linear regression model in the presence of AR(1) disturbances. The standard approach is to estimate the AR(1) parameter, ρ, and then construct forecasts assuming the estimated value is the true value. We introduce a new approach which can be viewed as a weighted average of predictions assuming different values of ρ. The weights are proportional to the marginal likelihood of ρ. A Monte Carlo experiment was conducted to compare the new method with five more conventional predictors. Its results suggest that the new approach has a distinct edge over existing procedures. 相似文献

Silica waveguides with diameters larger than the wavelength of transmitted light are widely used in optical communications, sensors and other applications. Minimizing the width of the waveguides is desirable for photonic device applications, but the fabrication of low-loss optical waveguides with subwavelength diameters remains challenging because of strict requirements on surface roughness and diameter uniformity. Here we report the fabrication of subwavelength-diameter silica 'wires' for use as low-loss optical waveguides within the visible to near-infrared spectral range. We use a two-step drawing process to fabricate long free-standing silica wires with diameters down to 50 nm that show surface smoothness at the atomic level together with uniformity of diameter. Light can be launched into these wires by optical evanescent coupling. The wires allow single-mode operation, and have an optical loss of less than 0.1 dB mm(-1). We believe that these wires provide promising building blocks for future microphotonic devices with subwavelength-width structures. 相似文献
