TRPV4 activation by TGFβ2 enhances cellular contractility and drives ocular hypertension by Christopher Nass Rudzitis, Monika Lakk, Ayushi Singh, Sarah N Redmon, Denisa Kirdajová, Yun-Ting Tseng, Michael L De Ieso, W Daniel Stamer, Samuel Herberg, David Krizaj

“…TGFβ2 upregulated expression of Trpv4 and Piezo1 transcripts and time-dependently augmented functional TRPV4 activation. TRPV4 agonists induced contractility of TM-seeded hydrogels, whereas pharmacological inhibition suppressed TGFβ2-induced hypercontractility and abrogated OHT in eyes overexpressing TGFβ2. …”

Yeast gene KTI13 (alias DPH8) operates in the initiation step of diphthamide synthesis on elongation factor 2 by Meike Arend, Koray Ütkür, Harmen Hawer, Klaus Mayer, Namit Ranjan, Lorenz Adrian, Ulrich Brinkmann, Raffael Schaffrath

“…Diphthamide formation on EF2 involves four biosynthetic steps encoded by the DPH1-DPH7 network and an ill-defined KTI13 function. On further examining the latter gene in yeast, we found that kti13Δ null-mutants maintain unmodified EF2 able to escape ADP-ribosylation by DT and to survive EF2 inhibition by sordarin, a diphthamide-dependent antifungal. …”

Soil moisture and precipitation intensity jointly control the transit time distribution of quick flow in a flashy headwater catchment by H. Türk, C. Stumpp, M. Hrachowitz, K. Schulz, P. Strauss, G. Blöschl, M. Stockinger

“…Thus, in catchments where preferential flows and overland flow are the dominant flow processes, soil-wetness-dependent and precipitation-intensity-conditional SAS functions may be required to better describe the timescale of solute transport in modelling, which has implications for stream water quality and agricultural management practices such as the timing of fertilizer application.…”
