Immune imprinting is a phenomenon in which prior antigenic experiences influence responses to subsequent infection or vaccination1,2. The effects of immune imprinting on serum antibody responses after boosting with variant-matched SARS-CoV-2 vaccines remain uncertain. Here, we characterized the serum antibody responses after mRNA vaccine boosting of mice and human clinical trial participants. In mice

Abstract. Soil bulk density (BD) serves as a fundamental indicator of soil health and quality, exerting a significant influence on critical factors such as plant growth, nutrient availability, and water retention. Due to its limited availability in soil databases, the application of pedotransfer functions (PTFs) has emerged as a potent tool for predicting BD using other easily measurable soil properties

YdbH and YnbE form an intermembrane bridge to maintain lipid homeostasis in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2024-05-15 Sujeet Kumar, Rebecca M. Davis, Natividad Ruiz
The outer membrane (OM) of didermic gram-negative bacteria is essential for growth, maintenance of cellular integrity, and innate resistance to many antimicrobials. Its asymmetric lipid distribution, with phospholipids in the inner leaflet and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the outer leaflet, is required for these functions.

Cell surface glycans are major drivers of antigenic diversity in bacteria. The biochemistry and molecular biology underpinning their synthesis are important in understanding host–pathogen interactions and for vaccine development with emerging chemoenzymatic and glycoengineering approaches. Structural diversity in glycostructures arises from the action of glycosyltransferases (GTs) that use an immense

Misregulation of bromotyrosine compromises fertility in male Drosophila Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2024-05-15 Qi Su, Bing Xu, Xin Chen, Steven E. Rokita
Biological regulation often depends on reversible reactions such as phosphorylation, acylation, methylation, and glycosylation, but rarely halogenation. A notable exception is the iodination and deiodination of thyroid hormones. Here, we report detection of bromotyrosine and its subsequent debromination during Drosophila spermatogenesis. Bromotyrosine is not evident when Drosophila express a native
