Frk positively regulates innate antiviral immunity by phosphorylating TBK1 by Xiaomei Zhang, Ying You, Tingrong Xiong, Tingrong Xiong, Xiaokai Zhang, Haibo Wang, Jinxia Geng, Miao Wang, Yanyan Xu, Shanshan Gao, Shanshan Gao, Xiaoyan Wu, Yue Zheng, Xianhua Wen, Haoyu Yang, Yu Wang, Yu Wang, Xiaohua Wen, Congcong Zhao

“…Mechanistically, Frk promotes the K63 ubiquitination of TBK1 and subsequent activation of the transcription factor IRF3 by phosphorylating TBK1 at tyrosine residues 174 and 179, thereby enhancing the production of IFN-β in macrophages. Employing both in vivo and in vitro viral infection assays, we demonstrated that IFN-β mediated by Frk inhibits the replication of VSV or HSV-1 and alleviates lung lesions. …”

Genetic analysis of pathways regulated by the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor in Caenorhabditis elegans. by Tammie Bishop, Kah Weng Lau, Andrew C R Epstein, Stuart K Kim, Min Jiang, Delia O'Rourke, Christopher W Pugh, Jonathan M Gleadle, Martin S Taylor, Jonathan Hodgkin, Peter J Ratcliffe

“…Genomic clustering, predicted functional similarities, and a common pattern of dysregulation in both vhl-1 worms and a set of mutants (dpy-18, let-268, gon-1, mig-17, and unc-6), with different defects in extracellular matrix formation, suggest that dysregulation of these genes reflects a discrete HIF-1-independent function of VHL-1 that is connected with extracellular matrix function.…”

Phase transitions from heating to non-heating in $SU(1,1)$ quantum dynamics: Applications to Bose-Einstein condensates and periodically driven coupled oscillators by Heng-Hsi Li, Po-Yao Chang

“…We consider two experimentally feasible systems where their quantum dynamics exhibit the $SU(1,1)$ structure: the quench dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensates and the periodically driven coupled oscillators. In both cases, the heating, non-heating phases, and their boundary manifest through distinct signatures in the phonon population where exponential, oscillatory, and linear growths classify these phases. …”
