Quasi-two-body decays in the perturbative QCD approach
We study the quasi-two-body decays by employing
the perturbative QCD approach. The two-meson distribution amplitudes
\Phi_{K\pi}^{\text{P-wave}} are adopted to describe the final state
interactions of the kaon-pion pair in the resonance region. The resonance line
shape for the -wave component in the time-like form factor
is parameterized by the relativistic Breit-Wigner function. For
most considered decay modes, the theoretical predictions for their branching
ratios are consistent with currently available experimental measurements within
errors. We also disscuss some ratios of the branching fractions of the
concerned decay processes. More precise data from LHCb and Belle-II are
expected to test our predictions.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures and 2 tables.To be published in EPJ
Beyond Histone and Deacetylase: An Overview of Cytoplasmic Histone Deacetylases and Their Nonhistone Substrates
Acetylation of lysines is a prominent form of modification in mammalian proteins. Deacetylation of proteins is catalyzed by histone deacetylases, traditionally named after their role in histone deacetylation, transcriptional modulation, and epigenetic regulation. Despite the link between histone deacetylases and chromatin structure, some of the histone deacetylases reside in various compartments in the cytoplasm. Here, we review how these cytoplasmic histone deacetylases are regulated, the identification of nonhistone substrates, and the functional implications of their nondeacetylase enzymatic activities
