Abstract:

This Article explores the main convergences and divergences among the different notions of “persons acting in concert” adopted by certain EU and US regulations concerning financial institutions and public companies, for the purpose of identifying a common set of principles governing the interpretation and application of such legal concept. This analysis shows that while under the regulations on the ownership structure of banks and financial institutions the legal notion of “persons acting in concert” is widely applied and extensively interpreted – since the operation of such companies must be protected also from potential (and not only actual) risks – both the takeover bids’ and transparency rules mainly look at the actual exercise of governance rights over listed targets, for the purpose of expanding, respectively, the list of bidders and the information provided to the public on the ownership structure of such companies. As a consequence of the above, we conclude that the notion of “persons acting in concert” should remain flexible and adaptable to the different goals pursued in the various sets of rules as the case may be.

Abstract:

So-called “acting in concert” is one of the most controversial problems in German takeover law. The latest discussion of the topic has been fuelled by the claim that investors, mainly investment funds, acted in concert through the application of strong pressure in order to cause the personnel change in the management structure of Deutsche Börse AG.” A further contribution has been made by the much noted ruling of the Regional Appellate Court Munich (OLG München) of 27 April 2005 concerning acting in concert in the cause of the election of the supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat). The following article concentrates on a critical analysis of this ruling of OLG München.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Genetic screens in Drosophila have identified p50 cdc37 to be an essential component of the sevenless receptor/mitogen-activated kinase protein (MAPK) signaling pathway, but neither the function nor the target of p50 cdc37 in this pathway has been defined. In this study, we examined the role of p50 cdc37 and its Hsp90 chaperone partner in Raf/Mek/MAPK signaling biochemically. We found that coexpression of wild-type p50 cdc37 with Raf-1 resulted in robust and dose-dependent activation of Raf-1 in Sf9 cells. In addition, p50 cdc37 greatly potentiated v-Src-mediated Raf-1 activation. Moreover, we found that p50 cdc37 is the primary determinant of Hsp90 recruitment to Raf-1. Overexpression of a p50 cdc37 mutant which is unable to recruit Hsp90 into the Raf-1 complex inhibited Raf-1 and MAPK activation by growth factors. Similarly, pretreatment with geldanamycin (GA), an Hsp90-specific inhibitor, prevented both the association of Raf-1 with the p50 cdc37 -Hsp90 heterodimer and Raf-1 kinase activation by serum. Activation of Raf-1 via baculovirus coexpression with oncogenic Src or Ras in Sf9 cells was also strongly inhibited by dominant negative p50 cdc37 or by GA. Thus, formation of a ternary Raf-1–p50 cdc37 –Hsp90 complex is crucial for Raf-1 activity and MAPK pathway signaling. These results provide the first biochemical evidence for the requirement of the p50 cdc37 -Hsp90 complex in protein kinase regulation and for Raf-1 function in particular.

Abstract:

Mitotic spindle morphogenesis depends upon the action of microtubules (MTs), motors and the cell cortex. Previously, we proposed that cortical- and MT-based motors acting alone can coordinate early spindle assembly in Drosophila embryos. Here, we tested this model using microscopy of living embryos to analyze spindle pole separation, cortical reorganization, and nuclear dynamics in interphase-prophase of cycles 11-13. We observe that actin caps remain flat as they expand and that furrows do not ingress. As centrosomes separate, they follow a linear trajectory, maintaining a constant pole-to-furrow distance while the nucleus progressively deforms along the elongating pole-pole axis. These observations are incorporated into a model in which outward forces generated by zones of active cortical dynein are balanced by inward forces produced by nuclear elasticity and during cycle 13, by Ncd, which localizes to interpolar MTs. Thus, the force-balance driving early spindle morphogenesis depends upon MT-based motors acting in concert with the cortex and nucleus.

Abstract:

ZusammenfassungEine Zurechnung von Stimmrechten Dritter wird im Kapitalmarktrecht – zur Vermeidung von Umgehungen – in unterschiedlichen Regelungskomplexen angeordnet (vgl. § 34 WpHG, § 30 WpÜG). Von hervorgehobener Bedeutung ist dabei die Zurechnung unter dem Gesichtspunkt des sog. acting in concert gem. § 30 Abs. 2 WpÜG. Hiervon hängt in vielen Fällen maßgeblich ab, ob eine – zeit- und kostenintensive – Angebotspflicht der Konzertierenden nach § 35 Abs. 2 WpÜG begründet wird oder nicht. Besondere Schwierigkeiten bereitet die Konstellation „struktureller Dominanz“ innerhalb eines Abstimmungspools: Hier steht in Frage, ob sich die Stimmrechtszurechnung auch auf einen „einflusslos Konzertierenden“ erstrecken soll. Der vorliegende Beitrag zielt auf eine Problemlösung entlang einer näheren Analyse des Telos von § 30 Abs. 2 WpÜG. Darauf aufbauend wird für Konstellationen „struktureller Dominanz“ in Stimmrechtskoordinierungen ein neuer Ansatz entwickelt, der für den „Einflusslosen“ zwingend die Konzertierungsauflösung vorsieht, möchte dieser einer Angebotspflicht entgehen.

Full text

Abstract:

The association of F-actin (filamentous actin) with a large number of binding proteins is essential for cellular function. Actin-binding proteins control the dynamics of actin filaments, nucleate new filaments and facilitate formation of higher-order structures such as actin bundles. The yeast gene SCP1 encodes a small protein with significant homology to mammalian SM22/transgelin. We have investigated the role of Scp1p in budding yeast to probe the fundamental role of this family of proteins. Here, we demonstrate that Scp1p binds to F-actin and induces the formation of tight F-actin bundles in vitro. Deletion of SCP1 in yeast lacking the actin-bundling protein, fimbrin (Sac6p), exacerbates the disrupted actin phenotype and enhances latrunculin-A sensitivity. Furthermore, Scp1p co-localizes with actin in cortical patches and its localization is lost in the presence of latrunculin-A. Our data support a role for Scp1p in bundling actin filaments and, in concert with Sac6p, acting as a second actin-bundling activity crucial to the stability of the yeast actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract:

The sudden appearance of several female concert pianists in Paris in the mid 1840s forced male journalists to develop new critical rhetorics. Criticism of the period became saturated with problematic notions of gender, the use of the body, and levels of acting in performance. Because they were interpreters rather than composers, women pianists challenged traditional ideas about the meaning of pianistic virtuosity and were central to the enlargement of the concert repertory. In comparison with male colleagues, however, they were disadvantaged, caught in a web of conflicting ideas concerning the relative value of particular keyboard repertories that were themselves gendered.

Abstract:

Abstract The Budapest Convention and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—two Legal Frameworks designed to curb cybercrime. While the Convention on Cybercrime of the Council of Europe, the Budapest Convention, is the only binding international instrument on this issue, the GDPR is globally setting standards in data protection Law. How are the two policies working to curb cybercrime? Cybercrime concerns every person, every company, every authority and every public institution. The fact that the origin as well as the target of the criminal act can be located virtually everywhere around the globe sets a new challenge for lawmakers in their efforts to protect society. The increasing use and importance of the Internet of Things will create new conveniences for the public to enjoy and at the same time provide countless new entry points for hackers to gain access to devices, networks and valuable data, all of which might be abused for criminal intents. The Budapest Convention on Cybercrime plays a crucial role in the fight against cybercrime by setting state of the art principle based criminal law standards and important procedural rules with regard to the provisional storage of data to be potentially used as evidence in prosecuting criminal acts. GDPR is blazing the trail for the appropriate handling of data, and is thereby—albeit from a different starting point—significantly contributing to an improved data security framework and thus efficiently curbing cybercrime.

Abstract:

the general structure of steels & belpaeme's (s&b's) central premise is appealing. theoretical stances that focus on one type of mechanism miss the fact that multiple mechanisms acting in concert can provide convergent constraints for a more robust capacity than any individual mechanism might achieve acting in isolation. however, highlighting the significance of complex constraint interactions raises the possibility that some of the relevant constraints may have been left out of s&b's own models. although abstract modeling can help clarify issues, it also runs the risk of oversimplification and misframing. a more subtle implication of the significance of interacting constraints is that it calls for a close relationship between theoretical and empirical research.

Abstract:

The author has characterized the demonstrative features of the choral theater genre and their embodiment in the performance of historical oratorio "Winds are blowing" by Ganna Havrylets by the Municipal Academic Chamber Choir "Kyiv". The author defines the affiliation of this play to the type of choral theater "History in the Faces", as 12 historical songs recorded by O. Koshyts during the Kuban expedition (1903-1905) were selected, processed and combined into a dramatic integrity by composer Ganna Gavrilets. They focus on pictures of the national liberation struggle of the Ukrainian people. The theatrical concept of staging in the communicative link is built: composer - conductor - arranger - director - spectator. It was found that in order to dynamize the performance the authors of concert-theatrical performance (conductor Mykola Hobdych, director Vasyl Vovkun) made structural changes (removed individual numbers, added the final instrumental number), enriched the timbre sound palette of the chamber choir with additional instruments (bandura, reed pipe or flute, percussion), which are used by choristers simultaneously with singing. Approaches to the theatrical performances with personification images and general choral scenes, alternating in the form of contrast of drama of the work were underlined. It is established that in the choral works of the cycle with personified imagery the emphasis was on more effective individual acting means (facial expressions, plastics, movements), in epic songs - on more static but symbolically filled mise-en-scène factors (graphic-spatial forms of stage arrangement of performers on stage). It is noted that the directors contributed to the better disclosure of the content of the play through the integrated use of the background (eg, costumes), mise-en-scène and acting means of theatrical choral performance. These artistic techniques also increased the spectacle, concert and stage representativeness and created a variety of acoustic effects.

Abstract:

When Horace wrote in Ars Poetica, “If you would have me weep, you must first feel grief yourself” (“Si vis me flere dolendum est primum ipsi tibi”), he expressed the ancient world's view that, in order to emotionally affect his audience, an orator needed to feel the emotion himself. This idea was widely subscribed to in the eighteenth century. In the modern era Konstantin Stanislavsky engaged in a sustained investigation of emotion and acting, stressing that the actor needed to experience “real feeling” in order for the audience to experience authentic emotions also. As a theory of emotional transmission, it seems like common sense. Yet, when Denis Diderot witnessed in Baron d'Holbach's salon David Garrick's parlor trick of sticking his head out between two screens, and cycling through a range of passions with his face, the great philosophe wondered whether the actor felt anything at all even though his audience, including Baron Grimm, evidently did. “Can his soul have experienced all these feelings, and played this kind of scale in concert with his face?” Diderot asked, and then answered, “I don't believe it; nor do you.” By deciding in the negative, that Garrick could not have felt anything, Diderot reveals a common fallacy of the audience: the belief that what an audience feels reflects, and is a result of, what an actor feels. The problem for Diderot, which he addressed in the Paradox of Acting (1773), was how an actor such as Garrick managed to evoke emotions in his audience when he apparently felt nothing himself.

The intracellular sorting of peptide hormone precursors to the dense core secretory granules (DCSGs) is essential for their bioactivation. Despite the fundamental importance of this cellular process, the nature of the sorting signals for entry of proteins into DCSGs remains a source of vigorous debate. This review highlights recent discoveries that are consistent with a model in which several protein domains, acting in a cell-specific fashion and at different steps in the sorting process, act in concert to regulate the entry of proteins into DCSGs.

AbstractThere is a general consensus that the pathogenesis for Kienböck’s disease remains uncertain, though it is probably related to nonphysiologic stress transmission across the lunate, acting in concert with one of several possible vascular abnormalities. Most surgical treatments focus on mechanical aspects rather than real physiopathology, but in the recent years several articles have shown the utility of vascularized grafts in the treatment of Kienböck’s disease, especially in its early stages. The authors present a case of a successfully reconstruction of a IIIA stage Kienböck’s disease with an osteochondral vascularized graft from medial femoral condyle.

Abstract:

In 12 h fasted rats, rates of muscle protein synthesis were stimulated by refeeding for 1 h and by intragastric or intravenous infusion of an amino acid plus glucose mixture for 1 hr, but not by intravenous infusion of amino acids alone for 1 h. Intravenous injection of anti-insulin serum suppressed the response to feeding and to intragastric infusion, but not to intravenous infusion. It is concluded that the response of muscle protein synthesis to food intake is mediated by both insulin and amino acids acting in concert.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractThe Theory of Relativity, in both the Special and General cases, possesses profound inferences concerning the nature of time as a physical component of universal structure, and not as either an abstract concept or a universal entropic progression as is commonly perceived. While the time-slowing observations of what is known as Relativistic "time dilation" are well documented, the temporal interpretations of such dilation effects were critically affected by a Newtonian view of universally invariant time. Consequently, the most sophisticated interpretations of time dilation were parasitically molded by archaic views of physical time and have remained essentially unchallenged for a century, inhibiting any attempts to functionally integrate the observations of Relativity with Newtonian Mechanics. By freeing relativistic observations from the limited paradigm of Newtonian temporal concepts, an alternative, robust interpretation of Special Relativity, one acting in concert with the actions of bodies as described by Newtonian Mechanics, is produced and discussed.

Full text

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Human ras genes play central roles in coupling extracellular signals with complex intracellular networks controlling proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, among others processes. c-H-ras pre-mRNA can be alternatively processed into two mRNAs due to the inclusion or exclusion of the alternative exon IDX; this renders two proteins, p21H-Ras and p19H-RasIDX, which differ only at the carboxy terminus. Here, we have characterized some of the cis-acting sequences and trans-acting factors regulating IDX splicing. A downstream intronic silencer sequence (rasISS1), acting in concert with IDX, negatively regulates upstream intron splicing. This effect is mediated, at least in part, by the binding of hnRNP A1. Depletion and add-back experiments in nuclear extracts have confirmed hnRNP A1's inhibitory role in IDX splicing. Moreover, the addition of two SR proteins, SC35 and SRp40, can counteract this inhibition by strongly promoting the splicing of the upstream intron both in vivo and in vitro. Further, the RNA-dependent helicase p68 is also associated with both IDX and rasISS1 RNA, and suppression of p68 expression in HeLa cells by RNAi experiments results in a marked increase of IDX inclusion in the endogenous mRNA, suggesting a role for this protein in alternative splicing regulation.

Abstract:

Despite an impressive amount of effort and extensive research, our knowledge of parturition remains scant. Although numerous scientists have investigated “the timing of birth”, we still have a limited understanding of the biological mechanisms that control events initiating delivery, or the availability of methods supposed to prevent these mechanisms from acting inappropriately. A multitude of factors and structures are involved; the myometrium, cervix, placenta and the fetus must act in concert to assure successful delivery. We do know that achievement of a “perfect” contractile force is not the sole factor. Successful delivery is also impacted by subtle differences in pelvic shape or size.

Abstract:

Quality education and rehabilitation programs for blind and visually impaired individuals may be threatened by the philosophy of service to disabled people currently prevailing at the federal level. This philosophy would treat blind and visually impaired persons as though their needs were the same as those of other handicapped persons. In fact, sometimes the needs coincide; sometimes they do not. Proper service delivery can be ensured only by understanding this philosophy, becoming aware of its subtle and overt impact on programs for people with visual impairments, and acting in concert with others who have similar concerns.

Abstract:

This paper examines the features of the activities of a teacher of additional education related to the preparation of students for a concert performance and necessity of creating favorable conditions to the successful performance of students. The most common shortcomings in preparing students for performing in front of audience are identified, also the main stages of the musical teaching process are considered. In the course of analyzing the activities of a music teacher, it was revealed that in the structure of the organization of the musical teaching process when working with gifted students, it is important that the teacher has pedagogical giftedness, which includes a number of pedagogical abilities. On the basis of the studied materials and the experience of foreign countries, the author proposes, on the basis of a bachelor's degree, to enter a course of major disciplines such as psychology of musical and pedagogical activity, psychological and pedagogical workshop and the art of teaching stage performance, and for acting teachers on the basis of children's music schools, to introduce an advanced training course of psychological and pedagogical support of students in the conditions of concert activities for teachers of additional education.

AbstractThe house on Sant Pere Street on the outskirts of Barcelona, leased from the Monastery of Sant Pere de les Puelles in the early thirteenth century by the widow Ermessenda Montserrat and subsequently passed through three generations of her female decendents, provides a case study for exploring larger issues of women's land holding in the neighborhood of Barcelona dominated by the Monastery. An important landowner during the thirteenth century, the Monastery maintained archives holding over 500 parchments from the period. The majority of these documents concern the Monastery's exploitation of its land holdings through a complex network of leases and subleases. Women appear often as lessees acting both individually and in concert with other family members. A systematic study of this documentation reveals the vital role women played in the management of both urban buildings and agricultural lands. This study shows that the Montserrat women were representative rather than exceptional examples of women's participation in property holding in thirteenth-century Barcelona.

Abstract:

As fish swim through a fluid environment, they must actively use their fins in concert to stabilize their motion and have a robust form of locomotion. However, there is little knowledge of how these forces act on the fish body. In this study, we employ a 3D immersed boundary model to decode the relationship between roll, pitch, and yaw of the fish body and the driving forces acting on flexible fish bodies. Using bluegill sunfish as our representative geometry, we first examine the role of an actuating torque on the stability of the fish model, with a torque applied at the head of the unconstrained fish body. The resulting kinematics is a product of the passive elasticity, fluid forces, and driving torque. We then examine a constrained model to understand the role that fin geometry, body elasticity, and frequency play on the range of corrective forces acting on the fish. We find non-monotonic behavior with respect to frequency, suggesting that the effective flexibility of the fins play an important role in the swimming performance.

Abstract:

Urban habitats are characterized by high levels of disturbance, impervious paving, and heat retention. These factors, acting in concert, alter soil, water, and air conditions in ways that promote the growth of stress-tolerant, early-successional vegetation on abandoned or unmaintained land. In most urban areas, a cosmopolitan array of spontaneous plants provide important ecological services that, in light of projected climate change impacts, are likely to become more significant in the future. Learning how to manage spontaneous urban vegetation to increase its ecological and social values may be a more sustainable strategy than attempting to restore historical ecosystems that flourished before the city existed.

Abstract:

AbstractHuman experience of control is an illusion; all forms of power are a special, transient, and unstable case of protean power. Taking risks is governed by critical uncertainty less because of our lack of perfect knowledge than because the world is physically and socially indeterminate. Power, thus, lies not only in agents' potential to dominate each other, but also in acting in concert to turn propensities into reality. Radical uncertainty is, therefore, not necessarily bad news. Whether protean power endangers or protects humanity depends less on calculating risks than on agents practicing common humanity values. I revise Katzenstein's and Seybert's concepts accordingly and illustrate by discussing Artificial Intelligence's challenges to humanity.

The deplorable plight of Rohingya Muslim boat refugees who have been refused entry by their neighboring Muslim countries was a disheartening episode for the ummah. The subsequent involvement of the Turkish government in dispatching ships of the Turkish Armed Forces to rescue the refugees has reopened the discourse on the necessity for a confederation of Muslim nation-states acting in concert within the global context as an operative framework of Islamic ethics in international relations. The episode invites Muslims to rethink the role of their own religious tradition in providing relevant ethical guidelines for international affairs that simultaneously address the reality of the modern nation-state.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Semaphorins comprise a large family of phylogenetically conserved secreted and transmembrane glycoproteins, many of which have been implicated in repulsive axon guidance events. The transmembrane semaphorin Sema-1a in Drosophila is expressed on motor axons and is required for the generation of neuromuscular connectivity. Sema-1a can function as an axonal repellent and mediates motor axon defasciculation. Here, by manipulating the levels of Sema-1a and the cell adhesion molecules fasciclin II (Fas II) and connectin (Conn) on motor axons, we provide further evidence that Sema-1a mediates axonal defasciculation events by acting as an axonally localized repellent and that correct motor axon guidance results from a balance between attractive and repulsive guidance cues expressed on motor neurons.

Abstract:

Knowledge is produced, stored and accessed in specific genres associated with different activity systems. Coordinated action among diverse groups is facilitated by alignment of knowledge across spheres. Our knowledge of the environment has been created in recent history by the interaction of discourses in military, scientific, public, political, corporate and governmental spheres, although these spheres do not always work in concert and there exist significant obstacles and even resistances to communication of knowledge across boundaries. Citizen concerns have been crucial over the last sixty years in creating environmental knowledge from the perspective of citizens, in contrast to governmental or corporate interests, even though government has since taken on major responsibilities for the production, dissemination and authentication of environmental information. Those with a desire to disrupt remedial action on the environment have found disrupting the knowledge functions of the government an important tool.

Abstract:

Information transfer among neurons is operated by neurotransmitters stored in synaptic vesicles and released to the extracellular space by an efficient process of regulated exocytosis. Synaptic vesicles are organized into two distinct functional pools, a large reserve pool in which vesicles are restrained by the actin–based cytoskeleton, and a quantitatively smaller releasable pool in which vesicles approach the presynaptic membrane and eventually fuse with it on stimulation. Both synaptic vesicle trafficking and neurotransmitter release depend on a precise sequence of events that include release from the reserve pool, targeting to the active zone, docking, priming, fusion and endocytotic retrieval of synaptic vesicles. These steps are mediated by a series of specific interactions among cytoskeletal, synaptic vesicle, presynaptic membrane and cytosolic proteins that, by acting in concert, promote the spatial and temporal regulation of the exocytotic machinery. The majority of these interactions are mediated by specific protein modules and domains that are found in many proteins and are involved in numerous intracellular processes. In this paper, the possible physiological role of these multiple protein–protein interactions is analysed, with ensuing updating and clarification of the present molecular model of the process of neurotransmitter release.

Abstract:

Numerous health related properties have been reported for bovine milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and its components. Here we present novel data on the in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of various MFGM preparations which confirm and extend the concept of MFGM as a dietary anti-inflammatory agent. Cell-based assays were used to test the ability of MFGM preparations to modulate levels of the inflammatory mediators IL-1β, nitric oxide, superoxide anion, cyclo-oxygenase-2, and neutrophil elastase. In rat models of arthritis, using MFGM fractions as dietary interventions, the phospholipid-enriched MFGM isolates were effective in reducing adjuvant-induced paw swelling while there was a tendency for the ganglioside-enriched isolate to reduce carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema. These results indicate that the anti-inflammatory activity of MFGM, rather than residing in a single component, is contributed to by an array of components acting in concert against various inflammatory targets. This confirms the potential of MFGM as a nutritional intervention for the mitigation of chronic and acute inflammatory conditions.

Abstract:

Infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae—including invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPDs)—remain a significant public health concern worldwide. The marked winter seasonality of IPDs is a striking, but still enigmatic aspect of pneumococcal epidemiology in nontropical climates. Here we confronted age-structured dynamic models of carriage transmission and disease with detailed IPD incidence data to test a range of hypotheses about the components and the mechanisms of pneumococcal seasonality. We find that seasonal variations in climate, influenza-like illnesses, and interindividual contacts jointly explain IPD seasonality. We show that both the carriage acquisition rate and the invasion rate vary seasonally, acting in concert to generate the marked seasonality typical of IPDs. We also find evidence that influenza-like illnesses increase the invasion rate in an age-specific manner, with a more pronounced effect in the elderly than in other demographics. Finally, we quantify the potential impact of seasonally timed interventions, a type of control measures that exploit pneumococcal seasonality to help reduce IPDs. Our findings shed light on the epidemiology of pneumococcus and may have notable implications for the control of pneumococcal infections.

Full text

Abstract:

Flowering is an important biological process for plants that ensures reproductive success. The onset of flowering needs to be coordinated with an appropriate time of year, which requires tight control of gene expression acting in concert to form a regulatory network. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs known as master modulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Many different miRNA families are involved in flowering-related processes such as the induction of floral competence, floral patterning, and the development of floral organs. This review highlights the diverse roles of miRNAs in controlling the flowering process and flower development, in combination with potential biotechnological applications for miRNAs implicated in flower regulation.

Abstract:

Since the beginning of the millennium, organocatalysis has been gaining a predominant role in asymmetric synthesis and it is, nowadays, a foundation of catalysis. Synergistic catalysis, combining two or more different catalytic cycles acting in concert, exploits the vast knowledge acquired in organocatalysis and other fields to perform reactions that would be otherwise impossible. Merging organocatalysis with photo-, metallo- and organocatalysis itself, researchers have ingeniously devised a range of activations. This feature review, focusing on selected synergistic catalytic approaches, aims to provide a flavor of the creativity and innovation in the area, showing ground-breaking examples of organocatalysts, such as proline derivatives, hydrogen bond-mediated, Cinchona alkaloids or phosphoric acids catalysts, which work cooperatively with different catalytic partners.

At the same time, it is noted that acting in concert by the cardiac performance can be provided against the background of the formation of a stable type of an integral reaction of calm activation

Full text

Abstract:

According to Hannah Arendt, into the earthly world of phenomenality, where reality depends on visibility and is identified with it, people appear in their “plurality”. Therefore, it is the concrete public personalities, speaking and acting in concert, that belong to the "arendtian world"— and not the purely private beings, or bodies as natural objects, or any empirical traits and indisputable facts, including sex. Based on these assumptions, Arendt apportions a character of abstraction to the claims of the feminist movement of her time. Respectively, it can be argued that the rationalistic feminist take-up of belonging to humanity converges, paradoxically, with the essentialistic view of the female sex, as follows: both tendencies seek to understand “what is” the woman. Arendt, however, is interested in the question of “who is” he or she who acts. Sex, just like every (biological) identity of the lonely self, is horizontally overridden by spontaneous initiatives and acting within the equalizing public sphere. Although politics is not based on empirical characteristics, these same facts filter out the citizens' unique perspective whenever their individual opinion is publicly expressed and, therefore, jointly perceived, and real.

Full text

Abstract:

Mutations in the MECP2 gene are found in a large proportion of girls with Rett Syndrome. Despite extensive research, the principal role of MeCP2 protein remains elusive. Is MeCP2 a regulator of genes, acting in concert with co-activators and co-repressors, predominantly as an activator of target genes or is it a methyl CpG binding protein acting globally to change the chromatin state and to supress transcription from repeat elements? If MeCP2 has no specific targets in the genome, what causes the differential expression of specific genes in the Mecp2 knockout mouse brain? We discuss the discrepancies in current data and propose a hypothesis to reconcile some differences in the two viewpoints. Since transcripts from repeat elements contribute to piRNA biogenesis, we propose that piRNA levels may be higher in the absence of MeCP2 and that increased piRNA levels may contribute to the mis-regulation of some genes seen in the Mecp2 knockout mouse brain. We provide preliminary data showing an increase in piRNAs in the Mecp2 knockout mouse cerebellum. Our investigation suggests that global piRNA levels may be elevated in the Mecp2 knockout mouse cerebellum and strongly supports further investigation of piRNAs in Rett syndrome.

Full text

Abstract:

The yeast 2 micron plasmid achieves high fidelity segregation by coupling its partitioning pathway to that of the chromosomes. Mutations affecting distinct steps of chromosome segregation cause the plasmid to missegregate in tandem with the chromosomes. In the absence of the plasmid stability system, consisting of the Rep1 and Rep2 proteins and the STB DNA, plasmid and chromosome segregations are uncoupled. The Rep proteins, acting in concert, recruit the yeast cohesin complex to the STB locus. The periodicity of cohesin association and dissociation is nearly identical for the plasmid and the chromosomes. The timely disassembly of cohesin is a prerequisite for plasmid segregation. Cohesin-mediated pairing and unpairing likely provides a counting mechanism for evenly partitioning plasmids either in association with or independently of the chromosomes.

Full text

Abstract:

In the mid 1970s, Miroslav Radman and Evelyn Witkin proposed that Escherichia coli must encode a specialized error-prone DNA polymerase (pol) to account for the 100-fold increase in mutations accompanying induction of the SOS regulon. By the late 1980s, genetic studies showed that SOS mutagenesis required the presence of two “UV mutagenesis” genes, umuC and umuD, along with recA. Guided by the genetics, decades of biochemical studies have defined the predicted error-prone DNA polymerase as an activated complex of these three gene products, assembled as a mutasome, pol V Mut = UmuD’2C-RecA-ATP. Here, we explore the role of the β-sliding processivity clamp on the efficiency of pol V Mut-catalyzed DNA synthesis on undamaged DNA and during translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). Primer elongation efficiencies and TLS were strongly enhanced in the presence of β. The results suggest that β may have two stabilizing roles: its canonical role in tethering the pol at a primer-3’-terminus, and a possible second role in inhibiting pol V Mut’s ATPase to reduce the rate of mutasome-DNA dissociation. The identification of umuC, umuD, and recA homologs in numerous strains of pathogenic bacteria and plasmids will ensure the long and productive continuation of the genetic and biochemical journey initiated by Radman and Witkin.
