Molecular interactions between Hel2 and RNA supporting ribosome-associated quality control

Ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) pathways monitor and respond to stalling of the translating ribosome. Here the authors show that the ribosome associated RQC factor Hel2/ZNF598, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, generally interacts with mRNAs in the vicinity of stop codons

Reaching the Next Level: The Role of Personality in High School Student Athletes’ Advancement into Intercollegiate Sports

High school athletes who scored lower on the personality traits of Negative Emotionality and Openness were more likely to have played sports in college. This information can benefit MPCs in designing intervention techniques that can help athletes regulate behaviors associated with these traits to reach the next performance level

Scaling of ion energies in the relativistic-induced transparency regime

Experimental data are presented showing maximum carbon C6+ ion energies obtained from nm-scaled targets in the relativistic transparent regime for laser intensities between 9 × 1019 and 2 × 1021 W/cm2. When combined with two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, these results show a steep linear scaling for carbon ions with the normalized laser amplitude a0(a0∝(√I)). The results are in good agreement with a semi-analytic model that allows one to calculate the optimum thickness and the maximum ion energies as functions of a0 and the laser pulse duration τλ for ion acceleration in the relativistic-induced transparency regime. Following our results, ion energies exceeding 100 MeV/amu may be accessible with currently available laser systems
