  sentences:
70
- - Repeated bottleneck passages of RNA viruses result in accumulation of mutations
71
- and fitness decrease. Here, we show that clones of foot-and-mouth disease virus
72
- (FMDV) subjected to bottleneck passages, in the form of plaque-to-plaque transfers

- in BHK-21 cells, increased the thermosensitivity of the viral clones. By constructing
74
- infectious FMDV clones, we have identified the amino acid substitution M54I in
75
- capsid protein VP1 as one of the lesions associated with thermosensitivity. M54I
76
- affects processing of precursor P1, as evidenced by decreased production of VP1
77
- and accumulation of VP1 precursor proteins. The defect is enhanced at high temperatures.
78
- Residue M54 of VP1 is exposed on the virion surface, and it is close to the B-C
79
- loop where an antigenic site of FMDV is located. M54 is not in direct contact
80
- with the VP1-VP3 cleavage site, according to the three-dimensional structure of
81
- FMDV particles. Models to account for the effect of M54 in processing of the FMDV
82
- polyprotein are proposed. In addition to revealing a distance effect in polyprotein
83
- processing, these results underline the importance of pursuing at the biochemical
84

- - To improve the delivery of liposomes to tumors using P-selectin glycoprotein ligand
87
- 1 (PSGL1) mediated binding to selectin molecules, which are upregulated on tumorassociated

89
- - Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral illness of wild and domestic
90
- cloven-hoofed animals. The causative agent, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV),
91
- replicates rapidly, efficiently disseminating within the infected host and being
92
- passed on to susceptible animals via direct contact or the aerosol route. To survive
93
- in the host, FMDV has evolved to block the host interferon (IFN) response. Previously,
94
- we and others demonstrated that the leader proteinase (L(pro)) of FMDV is an IFN
95
- antagonist. Here, we report that another FMDV-encoded proteinase, 3C(pro), also
96
- inhibits IFN-α/β response and the expression of IFN-stimulated genes. Acting in
97
- a proteasome- and caspase-independent manner, the 3C(pro) of FMDV proteolytically
98
- cleaved nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB) essential modulator (NEMO),
99
- a bridging adaptor protein essential for activating both NF-κB and interferon-regulatory
100
- factor signaling pathways. 3C(pro) specifically targeted NEMO at the Gln 383 residue,
101
- cleaving off the C-terminal zinc finger domain from the protein. This cleavage
102
- impaired the ability of NEMO to activate downstream IFN production and to act
103
- as a signaling adaptor of the RIG-I/MDA5 pathway. Mutations specifically disrupting
104
- the cysteine protease activity of 3C(pro) abrogated NEMO cleavage and the inhibition
105
- of IFN induction. Collectively, our data identify NEMO as a substrate for FMDV
106
- 3C(pro) and reveal a novel mechanism evolved by a picornavirus to counteract innate
107
- immune signaling.

  - source_sentence: Measuring flourishing among adolescent and adult populations
109
  sentences:
110
- - Flourishing is an evolving wellbeing construct and outcome of interest across
111
- the social and biological sciences. Despite some conceptual advancements, there
112
- remains limited consensus on how to measure flourishing, as well as how to distinguish
113
- it from closely related wellbeing constructs, such as thriving and life satisfaction.
114
- This paper aims to provide an overview and comparison of the diverse scales that
115
- have been developed to measure flourishing among adolescent and adult populations
116
- to provide recommendations for future studies seeking to use flourishing as an
117
- outcome in social and biological research.
118
- - Although well-being at work is important for occupational health, multi-dimensional
119
- workplace well-being measures do not exist for Japanese workers. The purpose of
120
- this study was to investigate the validity of the Japanese version of the Workplace
121
- PERMA-Profiler. Japanese workers completed online surveys at baseline (N = 310)
122
- and 1 month later (N = 100). The Workplace PERMA-Profiler was translated according
123
- to international guidelines. Job and life satisfaction, work engagement, psychological
124
- distress, work-related psychosocial factors, and work performance were measured
125
- as comparisons for convergent validity. Cronbach's alphas, Intra-class Correlation
126
- Coefficients (ICCs), and measurement errors were calculated for the reliability,
127
- and the validity of the measure was tested by correlational analyses and confirmatory
128
- factor analysis. A total of 310 (baseline) and 86 (follow-up) workers responded
129
- and were included in the analyses. Cronbach's alphas and ICCs of the Japanese
130
- Workplace PERMA-Profiler ranged from 0.75 to 0.96. Confirmatory factor analysis
131
- indicated that the 5-factor model demonstrated a marginally acceptable fit (χ2
132
- (80) = 351.30, CFI = 0.892, TLI = 0.858, RMSEA = 0.105, SRMR = 0.051). Overall
133
- well-being and the five PERMA domains had moderate-to-strong correlations with
134
- job satisfaction, psychological distress (inversely), and work-related factors.
135
- The Japanese version of the Workplace PERMA-Profiler demonstrated adequate reliability
136
- and validity. This measure could be useful to assess well-being at work, promote
137
- well-being research among Japanese workers, and address the problem of definition
138
- for well-being in further studies.
139
- - We experience countless pieces of new information each day, but remembering them
140
- later depends on firmly instilling memory storage in the brain. Numerous studies
141
- have implicated non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in consolidating memories
142
- via interactions between hippocampus and cortex. However, the temporal dynamics
143
- of this hippocampal-cortical communication and the concomitant neural oscillations
144
- during memory reactivations remains unclear. To address this issue, the present
145
- study used the procedure of targeted memory reactivation (TMR) following learning
146
- of object-location associations to selectively reactivate memories during human
147
- NREM sleep. Cortical pattern reactivation and hippocampal-cortical coupling were
148
- measured with intracranial EEG recordings in patients with epilepsy. We found
149
- that TMR produced variable amounts of memory enhancement across a set of object-location
150
- associations. Successful TMR increased hippocampal ripples and cortical spindles,
151
- apparent during two discrete sweeps of reactivation. The first reactivation sweep
152
- was accompanied by increased hippocampal-cortical communication and hippocampal
153
- ripple events coupled to local cortical activity (cortical ripples and high-frequency
154
- broadband activity). In contrast, hippocampal-cortical coupling decreased during
155
- the second sweep, while increased cortical spindle activity indicated continued
156
- cortical processing to achieve long-term storage. Taken together, our findings
157
- show how dynamic patterns of item-level reactivation and hippocampal-cortical
158
- communication support memory enhancement during NREM sleep.

161
  sentences:
162
- - Amyloid β (Aβ) assemblies exist not only in the central nervous system, but can
163
- circulate within the bloodstream to trigger and exacerbate peripheral, cerebrovascular,
164
- and neurodegenerative disorders. Eliminating excess peripheral fibrils, therefore,
165
- holds promise to improve the management of amyloid-related diseases. Here, we
166
- present nanoemulsion-mediated ultrasonic ablation of circulating fibrils to
167
- both destroy established plaques and prevent the re-growth of ablated fragments
168
- back into toxic species. This approach is made possible using a de novo designed
169
- peptide emulsifier that contains the self-associating sequence from the amyloid
170
- precursor protein. Emulsification of the peptide surfactant with fluorous nanodroplets
171
- produces contrast agents that rapidly adsorb assemblies and allows their ultrasound-controlled
172
- destruction via acoustic cavitation. Vessel-mimetic flow experiments demonstrate
173
- that nanoemulsion-assisteddisruption can be achieved in circulation using
174
- clinical diagnostic ultrasound transducers. Additional cell-based assays confirm
175
- the ablated fragments are less toxic to neuronal and glial cells compared to mature
176
- fibrils, and can be rapidly phagocytosed by both peripheral and brain macrophages.
177
- These results highlight the potential of nanoemulsion contrast agents to deliver
178
- new imaging enabled strategies for non-invasive management of Aβ-related diseases
179
- using traditional diagnostic ultrasound modalities.
180
- - The Hfq protein mediates gene regulation by small RNAs (sRNAs) in about 50% of
181
- all bacteria. Depending on the species, phenotypic defects of an hfq mutant range
182
- from mild to severe. Here, we document that the purified Hfq protein of the plant
183
- pathogen and natural genetic engineer Agrobacterium tumefaciens binds to the previously
184
- described sRNA AbcR1 and its target mRNA atu2422, which codes for the substrate
185
- binding protein of an ABC transporter taking up proline and γ-aminobutyric acid
186
- (GABA). Several other ABC transporter components were overproduced in an hfq mutant
187
- compared to their levels in the parental strain, suggesting that Hfq plays a major
188
- role in controlling the uptake systems and metabolic versatility of A. tumefaciens.
189
- The hfq mutant showed delayed growth, altered cell morphology, and reduced motility.
190
- Although the DNA-transferring type IV secretion system was produced, tumor formation
191
- by the mutant strain was attenuated, demonstrating an important contribution of
192
- Hfq to plant transformation by A. tumefaciens.
193
- - Hfq is an RNA-binding protein that functions in post-transcriptional gene regulation
194
- by mediating interactions between mRNAs and small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs). Two
195
- proteins encoded by BAB1_1794 and BAB2_0612 are highly over-produced in a Brucella
196
- abortus hfq mutant compared with the parental strain, and recently, expression
197
- of orthologues of these proteins in Agrobacterium tumefaciens was shown to be
198
- regulated by two sRNAs, called AbcR1 and AbcR2. Orthologous sRNAs (likewise designated
199
- AbcR1 and AbcR2) have been identified in B. abortus 2308. In Brucella, abcR1 and
200
- abcR2 single mutants are not defective in their ability to survive in cultured
201
- murine macrophages, but an abcR1 abcR2 double mutant exhibits significant attenuation
202
- in macrophages. Additionally, the abcR1 abcR2 double mutant displays significant
203
- attenuation in a mouse model of chronic Brucella infection. Quantitative proteomics
204
- and microarray analyses revealed that the AbcR sRNAs predominantly regulate genes
205
- predicted to be involved in amino acid and polyamine transport and metabolism,
206
- and Northern blot analyses indicate that the AbcR sRNAs accelerate the degradation
207
- of the target mRNAs. In an Escherichia coli two-plasmid reporter system, overexpression
208
- of either AbcR1 or AbcR2 was sufficient for regulation of target mRNAs, indicating
209
- that the AbcR sRNAs from B. abortus 2308 perform redundant regulatory functions.

  paradigm
212
  sentences:
213
- - Considering advice from others is a pervasive element of human social life. We
214
- used the judge-advisor paradigm to investigate the neural correlates of advice
215
- evaluation and advice integration by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging.
216
- Our results demonstrate that evaluating advice recruits the "mentalizing network,"
217
- brain regions activated when people think about others' mental states. Important
218
- activation differences exist, however, depending upon the perceived competence
219
- of the advisor. Consistently, additional analyses demonstrate that integrating
220
- others' advice, i.e., how much participants actually adjust their initial estimate,
221
- correlates with neural activity in the centromedial amygdala in the case of a
222
- competent and with activity in visual cortex in the case of an incompetent advisor.
223
- Taken together, our findings, therefore, demonstrate that advice evaluation and
224
- integration rely on dissociable neural mechanisms and that significant differences
225
- exist depending upon the advisor's reputation, which suggests different modes
226
- of processing advice depending upon the perceived competence of the advisor.
227
- - The role of antibodies in kidney transplant (KT) has evolved significantly over
228
- the past few decades. This role of antibodies in KT is multifaceted, encompassing
229
- both the challenges they pose in terms of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and
230
- the opportunities for improving transplant outcomes through better detection,
231
- prevention, and treatment strategies. As our understanding of the immunological
232
- mechanisms continues to evolve, so too will the approaches to managing and harnessing
233
- the power of antibodies in KT, ultimately leading to improved patient and graft
234
- survival. This narrative review explores the multifaceted roles of antibodies
235
- in KT, including their involvement in rejection mechanisms, advancements in desensitization
236
- protocols, AMR treatments, and their potential role in monitoring and improving
237
- graft survival.
238
- - Humans regulate intergroup conflict through parochial altruism; they self-sacrifice
239
- to contribute to in-group welfare and to aggress against competing out-groups.
240
- Parochial altruism has distinct survival functions, and the brain may have evolved
241
- to sustain and promote in-group cohesion and effectiveness and to ward off threatening
242
- out-groups. Here, we have linked oxytocin, a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus,
243
- to the regulation of intergroup conflict. In three experiments using double-blind
244
- placebo-controlled designs, male participants self-administered oxytocin or placebo
245
- and made decisions with financial consequences to themselves, their in-group,
246
- and a competing out-group. Results showed that oxytocin drives a "tend and defend"
247
- response in that it promoted in-group trust and cooperation, and defensive, but
248
- not offensive, aggression toward competing out-groups.

104
+ Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral illness of wild and
105
+ domestic cloven-hoofed animals. The causative agent, foot-and-mouth disease
106
+ virus (FMDV), replicates rapidly, efficiently disseminating within the
107
+ infected host and being passed on to susceptible animals via direct contact
108
+ or the aerosol route. To survive in the host, FMDV has evolved to block the
109
+ host interferon (IFN) response. Previously, we and others demonstrated that
110
+ the leader proteinase (L(pro)) of FMDV is an IFN antagonist. Here, we report
111
+ that another FMDV-encoded proteinase, 3C(pro), also inhibits IFN-α/β
112
+ response and the expression of IFN-stimulated genes. Acting in a proteasome-
113
+ and caspase-independent manner, the 3C(pro) of FMDV proteolytically cleaved
114
+ nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB) essential modulator (NEMO), a
115
+ bridging adaptor protein essential for activating both NF-κB and
116
+ interferon-regulatory factor signaling pathways. 3C(pro) specifically
117
+ targeted NEMO at the Gln 383 residue, cleaving off the C-terminal zinc
118
+ finger domain from the protein. This cleavage impaired the ability of NEMO
119
+ to activate downstream IFN production and to act as a signaling adaptor of
120
+ the RIG-I/MDA5 pathway. Mutations specifically disrupting the cysteine
121
+ protease activity of 3C(pro) abrogated NEMO cleavage and the inhibition of
122
+ IFN induction. Collectively, our data identify NEMO as a substrate for FMDV
123
+ 3C(pro) and reveal a novel mechanism evolved by a picornavirus to counteract
124
+ innate immune signaling.

+ Although well-being at work is important for occupational health,
139
+ multi-dimensional workplace well-being measures do not exist for Japanese
140
+ workers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of the
141
+ Japanese version of the Workplace PERMA-Profiler. Japanese workers completed
142
+ online surveys at baseline (N = 310) and 1 month later (N = 100). The
143
+ Workplace PERMA-Profiler was translated according to international
144
+ guidelines. Job and life satisfaction, work engagement, psychological
145
+ distress, work-related psychosocial factors, and work performance were
146
+ measured as comparisons for convergent validity. Cronbach's alphas,
147
+ Intra-class Correlation Coefficients (ICCs), and measurement errors were
148
+ calculated for the reliability, and the validity of the measure was tested
149
+ by correlational analyses and confirmatory factor analysis. A total of 310
150
+ (baseline) and 86 (follow-up) workers responded and were included in the
151
+ analyses. Cronbach's alphas and ICCs of the Japanese Workplace
152
+ PERMA-Profiler ranged from 0.75 to 0.96. Confirmatory factor analysis
153
+ indicated that the 5-factor model demonstrated a marginally acceptable fit
154
+ (χ2 (80) = 351.30, CFI = 0.892, TLI = 0.858, RMSEA = 0.105, SRMR = 0.051).
155
+ Overall well-being and the five PERMA domains had moderate-to-strong
156
+ correlations with job satisfaction, psychological distress (inversely), and
157
+ work-related factors. The Japanese version of the Workplace PERMA-Profiler
158
+ demonstrated adequate reliability and validity. This measure could be useful
159

+ We experience countless pieces of new information each day, but remembering
164

165
+ Numerous studies have implicated non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in
166
+ consolidating memories via interactions between hippocampus and cortex.
167
+ However, the temporal dynamics of this hippocampal-cortical communication
168
+ and the concomitant neural oscillations during memory reactivations remains
169
+ unclear. To address this issue, the present study used the procedure of
170
+ targeted memory reactivation (TMR) following learning of object-location
171
+ associations to selectively reactivate memories during human NREM sleep.
172
+ Cortical pattern reactivation and hippocampal-cortical coupling were
173
+ measured with intracranial EEG recordings in patients with epilepsy. We
174
+ found that TMR produced variable amounts of memory enhancement across a set
175
+ of object-location associations. Successful TMR increased hippocampal
176
+ ripples and cortical spindles, apparent during two discrete sweeps of
177
+ reactivation. The first reactivation sweep was accompanied by increased
178
+ hippocampal-cortical communication and hippocampal ripple events coupled to
179
+ local cortical activity (cortical ripples and high-frequency broadband
180
+ activity). In contrast, hippocampal-cortical coupling decreased during the
181
+ second sweep, while increased cortical spindle activity indicated continued
182
+ cortical processing to achieve long-term storage. Taken together, our
183
+ findings show how dynamic patterns of item-level reactivation and
184
+ hippocampal-cortical communication support memory enhancement during NREM
185
+ sleep.

191
+ Amyloid β (Aβ) assemblies exist not only in the central nervous system, but
192
+ can circulate within the bloodstream to trigger and exacerbate peripheral,
193
+ cerebrovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. Eliminating excess
194
+ peripheral fibrils, therefore, holds promise to improve the management of
195
+ amyloid-related diseases. Here, we present nanoemulsion-mediated ultrasonic
196
+ ablation of circulating fibrils to both destroy established plaques and
197
+ prevent the re-growth of ablated fragments back into toxic species. This
198
+ approach is made possible using a de novo designed peptide emulsifier that
199
+ contains the self-associating sequence from the amyloid precursor protein.
200
+ Emulsification of the peptide surfactant with fluorous nanodroplets produces
201
+ contrast agents that rapidly adsorb assemblies and allows their
202
+ ultrasound-controlled destruction via acoustic cavitation. Vessel-mimetic
203
+ flow experiments demonstrate that nanoemulsion-assisted disruption can be
204
+ achieved in circulation using clinical diagnostic ultrasound transducers.
205
+ Additional cell-based assays confirm the ablated fragments are less toxic to
206
+ neuronal and glial cells compared to mature fibrils, and can be rapidly
207

212
+ The Hfq protein mediates gene regulation by small RNAs (sRNAs) in about 50%
213
+ of all bacteria. Depending on the species, phenotypic defects of an hfq
214
+ mutant range from mild to severe. Here, we document that the purified Hfq
215
+ protein of the plant pathogen and natural genetic engineer Agrobacterium
216
+ tumefaciens binds to the previously described sRNA AbcR1 and its target mRNA
217
+ atu2422, which codes for the substrate binding protein of an ABC transporter
218
+ taking up proline and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Several other ABC
219
+ transporter components were overproduced in an hfq mutant compared to their
220
+ levels in the parental strain, suggesting that Hfq plays a major role in
221
+ controlling the uptake systems and metabolic versatility of A. tumefaciens.
222
+ The hfq mutant showed delayed growth, altered cell morphology, and reduced
223
+ motility. Although the DNA-transferring type IV secretion system was
224
+ produced, tumor formation by the mutant strain was attenuated, demonstrating
225
+ an important contribution of Hfq to plant transformation by A. tumefaciens.

227
+ Hfq is an RNA-binding protein that functions in post-transcriptional gene
228
+ regulation by mediating interactions between mRNAs and small regulatory RNAs
229
+ (sRNAs). Two proteins encoded by BAB1_1794 and BAB2_0612 are highly
230
+ over-produced in a Brucella abortus hfq mutant compared with the parental
231
+ strain, and recently, expression of orthologues of these proteins in
232
+ Agrobacterium tumefaciens was shown to be regulated by two sRNAs, called
233
+ AbcR1 and AbcR2. Orthologous sRNAs (likewise designated AbcR1 and AbcR2)
234
+ have been identified in B. abortus 2308. In Brucella, abcR1 and abcR2 single
235
+ mutants are not defective in their ability to survive in cultured murine
236
+ macrophages, but an abcR1 abcR2 double mutant exhibits significant
237
+ attenuation in macrophages. Additionally, the abcR1 abcR2 double mutant
238
+ displays significant attenuation in a mouse model of chronic Brucella
239
+ infection. Quantitative proteomics and microarray analyses revealed that the
240
+ AbcR sRNAs predominantly regulate genes predicted to be involved in amino
241
+ acid and polyamine transport and metabolism, and Northern blot analyses
242
+ indicate that the AbcR sRNAs accelerate the degradation of the target mRNAs.
243
+ In an Escherichia coli two-plasmid reporter system, overexpression of either
244
+ AbcR1 or AbcR2 was sufficient for regulation of target mRNAs, indicating
245

252
+ Considering advice from others is a pervasive element of human social life.
253
+ We used the judge-advisor paradigm to investigate the neural correlates of
254
+ advice evaluation and advice integration by means of functional magnetic
255
+ resonance imaging. Our results demonstrate that evaluating advice recruits
256
+ the "mentalizing network," brain regions activated when people think about
257
+ others' mental states. Important activation differences exist, however,
258
+ depending upon the perceived competence of the advisor. Consistently,
259
+ additional analyses demonstrate that integrating others' advice, i.e., how
260
+ much participants actually adjust their initial estimate, correlates with
261
+ neural activity in the centromedial amygdala in the case of a competent and
262
+ with activity in visual cortex in the case of an incompetent advisor. Taken
263
+ together, our findings, therefore, demonstrate that advice evaluation and
264
+ integration rely on dissociable neural mechanisms and that significant
265
+ differences exist depending upon the advisor's reputation, which suggests
266
+ different modes of processing advice depending upon the perceived competence
267

285
+ and the brain may have evolved to sustain and promote in-group cohesion and

289
+ placebo-controlled designs, male participants self-administered oxytocin or
290
+ placebo and made decisions with financial consequences to themselves, their
291
+ in-group, and a competing out-group. Results showed that oxytocin drives a
292
+ "tend and defend" response in that it promoted in-group trust and
293
+ cooperation, and defensive, but not offensive, aggression toward competing
294
