  text: "Life on Earth emerged when biomacromolecules were membrane-enclosed in a
    confined space where many essential chemical reactions were more likely to happen
    and thereby accelerate evolution. These kinds of membranes separated internal
    reactions from the outside chaos while staying flexible so that those primordial
    cells can move, adopt their shape and, most importantly, propagate. Such membrane
    plasticity still remains a defining feature of all modern cell types. This remarkable
    ability to change their shape is most prominently observed during their propagation
    (i.e., cell division). Throughout division, a cell undergoes drastic change in
    its shape, usually at the middle of the cell, pulling the two opposite membrane
    sides inward, closer to each other, and, finally, culminating in pinching off
    to separate the cell into two daughter cells. To achieve this, a cell needs to
    employ a protein machinery, usually termed divisome, that can coordinate all necessary
    intracellular processes with membrane remodelling and synthesis of other extracellular
    structures that decorate a cell. The focus of this dissertation is a membrane-remodelling
    FtsZ system that is present across all domains of life. FtsZ forms filaments that
    further self-organize into ring-like structures at the cell septum and together
    with other division proteins perform cell envelope synthesis and constriction.
    However, there are still knowledge gaps in our mechanistic understanding of division
    in both archaea and bacteria. My work presented in this dissertation centres around
    a simple yet not well understood question: How is the divisome positioned correctly
    at the mid-cell? To achieve the proper positioning, the divisome needs to (i)
    be recruited to the mid-cell and (ii) localized orthogonally to the long cell
    axis. I tackle these processes in two different systems by applying an in vitro
    biochemical bottom-up reconstitution approach. I use purified components of Haloferax
    volcanii and Escherichia coli divisome to explore how divisome is recruited to
    the mid-cell in archaea and how the Z-ring positions orthogonally to the long
    cell axis in bacteria, respectively. \r\n\r\nFirstly, I collaborate with archaeal
    cell and structural biologists to explore the assembly of early division proteins
    in two FtsZ-containing archaeon H. volcanii, a standard model system for understudied
    archaeal organisms. I particularly address the hierarchy of interactions that
    allow a tripartite complex formation (SepF-CdpB1-CdpB2) and how the hierarchy
    of interactions ultimately leads to the recruitment of FtsZ filaments to the septum.
    This part of work has been published in (Nußbaum et al., 2024). In collaboration
    with evolutionary biologists, I shed light on ancient features that archaeal divisome
    has retained to this day and also speculate on a property that it might have lost
    during the course of evolution. \r\n\r\nNext, I switch my attention to E. coli
    divisome. Particularly, I address the FtsZ’s intrinsic biophysical property that
    drives the Z-ring diameter, and thereby the perpendicular orientation of the Z-ring
    to the long cell axis based on suggested membrane curvature sensing mechanism
    (Vanhille-Campos et al., 2024). This property allows formation of different Z-ring
    diameters that match the variety of cell diameters present in prokaryotes. The
    results showcase that the distribution of charged amino acids in the intrinsically
    disordered linker at the C-terminus (CTL) of FtsZ is the major determining factor
    of Z-ring diameter with inter-CTL interactions as an underlying mechanism. \r\n\r\nFinally,
    I thoroughly explain the methodology I used to address the abovementioned projects,
    and I finish with a discussion on how early archaeal divisome assembly and curvature
    sensing mechanism in bacteria, at first sight unrelated topics, are interconnected
    and important groundwork for both fundamental and translational research. "

  text: "Rotations constitute one of the fundamental symmetries in physics, characterized
    by their intricate group structure and infinite dimensional representations. In
    contrast to classical rotations, quantum mechanics unveils the SO(3) symmetry
    group structure, manifesting in phenomena without classical counterparts, from
    angular momentum quantization to non-trivial addition of angular momenta.\r\nWhile
    most studies of topological physics have focused on two-band systems, the SO(3)
    symmetry group of quantum rotors offers an inherently more complex platform with
    unprecedented possibilities for exploring topological phenomena. Despite their
    ubiquity in nature– from molecules to nanorotors– their potential for hosting
    topological phases has remained largely unexamined.\r\nIn this thesis, we mainly
    focus on periodically driven linear molecules as a prototype for studying topological
    phenomena in quantum rotors. Recent technological advances in coherent control
    of molecules, particularly through precisely shaped laser pulses, have made it
    possible to investigate linear rotors in the context of topology. While planar
    rotors have received some attention in recent years, threedimensional rotors–particularly
    linear molecules–harbor substantially richer topological phenomena due to their
    non-abelian nature and their additional angular degrees of freedom. We demonstrate
    that these systems can host novel edge states and topological features fundamentally
    impossible in planar systems.\r\nWe begin by establishing a theoretical bridge
    between periodically kicked rotors and \"crystalline\" lattices in angular momentum
    space. Using non-interacting linear molecules as our primary example, we show
    how quantum interference and revival patterns lead to the possibility to simulate
    band models with arbitrary number of bands N. While our framework applies to various
    quantum rotors, including nanorotors and kicked Bose-Einstein condensates, linear\r\nmolecules
    provide an ideal experimental platform due to their abovementioned precise controllability.\r\nThe
    core of this work examines adiabatic dynamics of 3D quantum rotors, establishing
    a geometric framework based on the Euler class to characterize its non-abelian
    topology. The non-Hermitian nature of the system enables novel braiding behaviors
    and topological transitions impossible in static systems, leading to an anomalous
    Dirac string phase with edge states in each gap, even though the Berry phases
    are all zero. These features can be directly observed through\r\nmolecular alignment
    and rotational level populations.\r\nThese findings establish quantum rotors as
    an alternative platform for studying multi-band topological physics, while suggesting
    practical implementations for quantum computation where topological protection
    could offer natural resilience against decoherence. The rich structure of three-dimensional
    rotation groups, combined with the tunability of topological features through
    driving parameters, makes this platform particularly valuable for exploring fundamental\r\nphysics
    and developing quantum technologies."

  text: 'Our brain has remarkable computational power, generating sophisticated behaviors,
    storing memories over an individual’s lifetime, and producing higher cognitive
    functions. However, little of our neuroscience knowledge covers the human brain.
    Is this organ truly unique, or is it a scaled version of the extensively studied
    rodent brain? Combining multicellular patch-clamp recording with expansion-based
    superresolution microscopy and full-scale modeling, we determined the cellular
    and microcircuit properties of the human hippocampal CA3 region, a fundamental
    circuit for memory storage. In contrast to neocortical networks, human hippocampal
    CA3 displayed sparse connectivity, providing a circuit architecture that maximizes
    associational power. Human synapses showed unique reliability, high precision,
    and long integration times, exhibiting both species- and circuit-specific properties.
    Together with expanded neuronal numbers, these circuit characteristics greatly
    enhanced the memory storage capacity of CA3. Our results reveal distinct microcircuit
    properties of the human hippocampus and begin to unravel the inner workings of
    our most complex organ. '

  text: Cell migration is a fundamental process during embryonic development. Most
    studies in vivo have focused on the migration of cells using the extracellular
    matrix (ECM) as their substrate for migration. In contrast, much less is known
    about how cells migrate on other cells, as found in early embryos when the ECM
    has not yet formed. Here, we show that lateral mesendoderm (LME) cells in the
    early zebrafish gastrula use the ectoderm as their substrate for migration. We
    show that the lateral ectoderm is permissive for the animal-pole-directed migration
    of LME cells, while the ectoderm at the animal pole halts it. These differences
    in permissiveness depend on the lateral ectoderm being more cohesive than the
    animal ectoderm, a property controlled by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling
    within the ectoderm. Collectively, these findings identify ectoderm tissue cohesion
    as one critical factor in regulating LME migration during zebrafish gastrulation.

  text: N4-methylcytosine (4mC) is an important DNA modification in prokaryotes, but
    its relevance and even its presence in eukaryotes have been mysterious. Here we
    show that spermatogenesis in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha involves two
    waves of extensive DNA methylation reprogramming. First, 5-methylcytosine (5mC)
    expands from transposons to the entire genome. Notably, the second wave installs
    4mC throughout genic regions, covering over 50% of CG sites in sperm. 4mC requires
    a methyltransferase (MpDN4MT1a) that is specifically expressed during late spermiogenesis.
    Deletion of MpDN4MT1a alters the sperm transcriptome, causes sperm swimming and
    fertility defects, and impairs post-fertilization development. Our results reveal
    extensive 4mC in a eukaryote, identify a family of eukaryotic methyltransferases,
    and elucidate the biological functions of 4mC in reproductive development, thereby
    expanding the repertoire of functional eukaryotic DNA modifications.

  text: An enlarged brain underlies the complex central nervous system of vertebrates.
    The dramatic expansion of the brain that diverges its shape from the spinal cord
    follows neural tube closure during embryonic development. Here, we show that this
    differential deformation is encoded by a pre-pattern of tissue material properties
    in chicken embryos. Using magnetic droplets and atomic force microscopy, we demonstrate
    that the dorsal hindbrain is more fluid than the dorsal spinal cord, resulting
    in a thinning versus a resisting response to increasing lumen pressure, respectively.
    The dorsal hindbrain exhibits reduced apical actin and a disorganized laminin
    matrix consistent with tissue fluidization. Blocking the activity of neural-crest-associated
    matrix metalloproteinases inhibits hindbrain expansion. Transplanting dorsal hindbrain
    cells to the spinal cord can locally create an expanded brain-like morphology
    in some cases. Our findings raise questions in vertebrate head evolution and suggest
    a general role of mechanical pre-patterning in sculpting epithelial tubes.

  text: Bacteria and archaea deploy diverse antiviral defense systems, many of which
    remain mechanistically uncharacterized. Here, we characterize Kiwa, a widespread
    two-component system composed of the transmembrane sensor KwaA and the DNA-binding
    effector KwaB. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis reveals that KwaA
    and KwaB assemble into a large, membrane-associated supercomplex. Upon phage binding,
    KwaA senses infection at the membrane, leading to KwaB binding of ejected phage
    DNA and inhibition of replication and late transcription, without inducing host
    cell death. Although KwaB can bind DNA independently, its antiviral activity requires
    association with KwaA, suggesting spatial or conformational regulation. We show
    that the phage-encoded DNA-mimic protein Gam directly binds and inhibits KwaB
    but that co-expression with the Gam-targeted RecBCD system restores protection
    by Kiwa. Our findings support a model in which Kiwa coordinates membrane-associated
    detection of phage infection with downstream DNA binding by its effector, forming
    a spatially coordinated antiviral mechanism.

  text: The Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel Orai1 is activated by interaction
    with the Ca2+ sensor Stromal Interaction Molecule 1 (STIM1). Owing to the lack
    of structurally resolved Orai1/STIM1 complexes, the impact of their coupling on
    individual Orai1 transmembrane domain (TM) movements is unclear. This study investigates
    STIM1-independent and STIM1-dependent Orai1-TM dynamics using photocrosslinking
    unnatural amino acids (UAAs) at each individual TM position. We primarily identify
    CRAC-channel-like currents directly after UAA incorporation or additional UV-light
    irradiation at TM3 sites that interface with non-pore-lining TMs. Using UAAs combined
    with conventional site-directed mutagenesis and molecular dynamics simulations,
    we discover that pore opening involves a widening of interfaces formed by TM3
    with non-pore-lining TMs. Orai1 mutants with a UAA in TM3 exhibit weaker STIM1-induced
    activation after UV exposure, possibly caused by a restricted widening of non-pore-lining
    TM interfaces. We demonstrate that photocrosslinking UAAs are excellent tools
    for improving our understanding of key determinants and ion channel dynamics modulating
    pore opening.

  text: Vacuolar acidification is crucial for the homeostasis of intracellular pH
    and the recycling of proteins and nutrients in cells, thereby playing important
    roles in various physiological processes related to vacuolar function. The key
    factors regulating vacuolar acidification and underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
    Here, we report that Arabidopsis phospholipase Dζ2 (PLDζ2) promotes the acidification
    of the vacuolar lumen to stimulate autophagic degradation under phosphorus deficiency.
    The pldζ2 mutant massively accumulates autophagic structures while exhibiting
    premature leaf senescence under nutrient starvation. Impaired autophagic flux,
    lytic vacuole morphology, and lytic degradation in pldζ2 indicate that PLDζ2 regulates
    autophagy by affecting the vacuolar function. PLDζ2 locates in both tonoplast
    and cytoplasm. Genetic, structural, and biochemical studies demonstrate that PLDζ2
    directly interacts with vacuolar-type ATPase (V-ATPase) subunit D (VATD) to promote
    vacuolar acidification and autophagy under phosphorus starvation. These findings
    reveal the importance of V-ATPase and vacuolar pH in autophagic activity and provide
    clues in elucidating the regulatory mechanism of vacuolar acidification.

  text: Auxin regulates various aspects of plant growth and development by modulating
    the transcription of target genes through the degradation of auxin/indole-3-acetic
    acid (Aux/IAA) repressors via the 26S proteasome. Proteasome regulator 1 (PTRE1),
    a positive regulator of proteasome activity, has been implicated in auxin-mediated
    proteasome suppression; however, the mechanism by which auxin modulates PTRE1
    function remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that auxin promotes the interaction
    between germin-like protein 1 (GLP1) and PTRE1, facilitating PTRE1 retention at
    the plasma membrane. The relocation of PTRE1 results in reduced nuclear 26S proteasome
    activity, and thus the attenuated Aux/IAA degradation and altered Aux/IAA homeostasis,
    ultimately resulting in suppressed auxin-mediated transcriptional regulation.
    Our findings uncover a previously uncharacterized regulatory axis in auxin signaling
    that controls Aux/IAA protein stability, functioning alongside the TIR1- and TRANSMEMBRANE
    KINASE 1 (TMK1)-mediated pathways, and highlight the coordination of auxin signaling
    from the cell surface to the nucleus via auxin-induced PTRE1 relocation, which
    fine-tunes Aux/IAA protein homeostasis and auxin responses.

  text: Pioneer transcription factors (TFs) engage chromatinized DNA motifs. However,
    it is unclear how the resultant TF-nucleosome complexes are decoded by co-factors.
    In humans, the TF p53 regulates cell-cycle progression, apoptosis, and the DNA
    damage response, with a large fraction of p53-bound sites residing in nucleosome-harboring
    inaccessible chromatin. We examined the interaction of chromatin-bound p53 with
    co-factors belonging to the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). At two distinct
    motif locations on the nucleosome (super-helical location [SHL]−5.7 and SHL+5.9),
    the E3 ubiquitin ligase E6-E6AP was unable to bind nucleosome-engaged p53. The
    deubiquitinase USP7, on the other hand, readily engages nucleosome-bound p53 in
    vitro and in cells. A corresponding cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure
    shows USP7 engaged with p53 and nucleosomes. Our work illustrates how chromatin
    imposes a co-factor-selective barrier for p53 interactors, whereby flexibly tethered
    interaction domains of co-factors and TFs govern compatibility between co-factors,
    TFs, and chromatin.

  text: In this issue of Developmental Cell, Lee et al. identify a pivotal role for
    glutathione (GSH) in plant regeneration, a vital biological process enabling plants
    to regrow tissues and organs after injury. Applying single-cell RNA sequencing
    (scRNA-seq) and live imaging, the authors demonstrate that GSH, released upon
    tissue damage, accelerates cell-cycle transitions, particularly shortening the
    G1 phase, thereby facilitating efficient organ regeneration.

  text: Super-resolution microscopy often entails long acquisition times of minutes
    to hours. Since drifts during the acquisition adversely affect data quality, active
    sample stabilization is commonly used for some of these techniques to reach their
    full potential. Although drifts in the lateral plane can often be corrected after
    acquisition, this is not always possible or may come with drawbacks. Therefore,
    it is appealing to stabilize sample position in three dimensions (3D) during acquisition.
    Various schemes for active sample stabilization have been demonstrated previously,
    with some reaching sub-nanometer stability in 3D. Here, we present a scheme for
    active drift correction that delivers the nanometer-scale 3D stability demanded
    by state-of-the-art super-resolution techniques and is straightforward to implement
    compared to previous schemes capable of reaching this level of stabilization precision.
    Using a refined algorithm that can handle various types of reference structure,
    without sparse signal peaks being mandatory, we stabilized sample position to
    ∼1 nm in 3D using objective lenses both with high and low numerical aperture.
    Our implementation requires only the addition of a simple widefield imaging path
    and we provide an open-source control software with graphical user interface to
    facilitate easy adoption of the module. Finally, we demonstrate how this has the
    potential to enhance data collection for diffraction-limited and super-resolution
    imaging techniques using single-molecule localization microscopy and cryo-confocal
    imaging as showcases.

  text: 'Exploring the molecular correlates of metabolic health measures may identify
    their shared and unique biological processes and pathways. Molecular proxies of
    these traits may also provide a more objective approach to their measurement.
    Here, DNA methylation (DNAm) data were used in epigenome-wide association studies
    (EWASs) and for training epigenetic scores (EpiScores) of six metabolic traits:
    body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, waist-hip ratio, and blood-based measures
    of glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total cholesterol in >17,000
    volunteers from the Generation Scotland (GS) cohort. We observed a maximum of
    12,033 significant findings (p < 3.6 × 10−8) for BMI in a marginal linear regression
    EWAS. By contrast, a joint and conditional Bayesian penalized regression approach
    yielded 27 high-confidence associations with BMI. EpiScores trained in GS performed
    well in both Scottish and Singaporean test cohorts (Lothian Birth Cohort 1936
    [LBC1936] and Health for Life in Singapore [HELIOS]). The EpiScores for BMI and
    total cholesterol performed best in HELIOS, explaining 20.8% and 7.1% of the variance
    in the measured traits, respectively. The corresponding results in LBC1936 were
    14.4% and 3.2%, respectively. Differences were observed in HELIOS for body fat,
    where the EpiScore explained ∼9% of the variance in Chinese and Malay -subgroups
    but ∼3% in the Indian subgroup. The EpiScores also correlated with cognitive function
    in LBC1936 (standardized βrange: 0.08–0.12, false discovery rate p [pFDR] < 0.05).
    Accounting for the correlation structure across the methylome can vastly affect
    the number of lead findings in EWASs. The EpiScores of metabolic traits are broadly
    applicable across populations and can reflect differences in cognition.'

  text: The hippocampus, critical for learning and memory, is dogmatically described
    as a trisynaptic circuit where dentate gyrus granule cells (GCs), CA3 pyramidal
    neurons (PNs), and CA1 PNs are serially connected. However, CA3 also forms an
    autoassociative network, and its PNs have diverse morphologies, intrinsic properties,
    and GC input levels. How PN subtypes compose this recurrent network is unknown.
    To determine the synaptic arrangement of identified CA3 PNs, we combine multicellular
    patch-clamp recording and post hoc morphological analysis in mouse hippocampal
    slices. PNs can be divided into distinct “superficial” and “deep” subclasses,
    the latter including previously reported “athorny” cells. Subclasses have distinct
    input-output transformations and asymmetric connectivity, which is more abundant
    from superficial to deep PNs, splitting CA3 locally into two parallel recurrent
    networks. Coincident spontaneous inhibition occurs frequently within but not between
    subclasses, implying subclass-specific inhibitory innervation. Our results suggest
    two separately controlled sublayers for parallel information processing in hippocampal
    CA3.

  text: "The internal structure of biomolecules and their organization in higher-order
    arrangements are key factors governing the working principles of biological systems.
    Bioimaging has successfully revealed arrangements across relevant spatial scales.
    For example, cryo-electron tomography has become widely used for analyzing biomolecular
    structures in situ due to its comprehensive structural visualization of near-natively
    preserved samples, and its capability of sub-nm resolution via averaging. However,
    the identification of molecules within crowded cellular environments is often
    hindered by low contrast. Fluorescence microscopy, on the other hand, routinely
    visualizes specifically labeled targets at single-molecule contrast against essentially
    zero background. Moreover, it provides comparatively high throughput and is amenable
    to multiplexing. Due to this complementarity, combining datasets from both modalities
    acquired on the same region via correlative light and electron microscopy can
    reveal novel types of information. \r\nThe spatial scale at which information
    can be extracted depends on imaging resolution and correlation accuracy. Since
    diffraction of light limits the resolution of conventional fluorescence microscopy
    to few hundreds of nanometers, reaching the full potential of correlative imaging
    requires super-resolution approaches. Performing imaging at cryogenic temperature
    preserves structures in a near-native state and minimizes distortions between
    the fluorescence and the electron microscopy datasets. Implementations of this
    concept have achieved correlation on the scale of cellular organelles or bacterial
    domains.\r\nWe have worked towards pushing correlative imaging to the single-molecule
    scale by improving cryo-super-resolution microscopy, and devising a refined image
    correlation workflow. As part of this project, I constructed a microscopy setup
    and adopted it for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy at room temperature
    and cryogenic conditions. I explored different cryo-stages and acquisition strategies.
    Specifically, I developed a new scheme for correcting sample drift, thus increasing
    mechanical stability during microscopy acquisitions.\r\n"

  text: 'Hippocampal reactivation of waking neuronal assemblies in sleep is a key
    initial step of systems consolidation. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether reactivated
    assemblies are static or whether they reorganize gradually over prolonged sleep.
    We tracked reactivated CA1 assembly patterns over ∼20 h of sleep/rest periods
    and related them to assemblies seen before or after in a spatial learning paradigm
    using rats. We found that reactivated assembly patterns were gradually transformed
    and started to resemble those seen in the subsequent recall session. Periods of
    rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM (NREM) had antagonistic roles: whereas
    NREM accelerated the assembly drift, REM countered it. Moreover, only a subset
    of rate-changing pyramidal cells contributed to the drift, whereas stable-firing-rate
    cells maintained unaltered reactivation patterns. Our data suggest that prolonged
    sleep promotes the spontaneous reorganization of spatial assemblies, which can
    contribute to daily cognitive map changes or encoding new learning situations.'

  text: In cryo-electron microscopy, accurate particle localization and classification
    are imperative. Recent deep learning solutions, though successful, require extensive
    training datasets. The protracted generation time of physics-based models, often
    employed to produce these datasets, limits their broad applicability. We introduce
    FakET, a method based on neural style transfer, capable of simulating the forward
    operator of any cryo transmission electron microscope. It can be used to adapt
    a synthetic training dataset according to reference data producing high-quality
    simulated micrographs or tilt-series. To assess the quality of our generated data,
    we used it to train a state-of-the-art localization and classification architecture
    and compared its performance with a counterpart trained on benchmark data. Remarkably,
    our technique matches the performance, boosts data generation speed 750x, uses
    33x less memory, and scales well to typical transmission electron microscope detector
    sizes. It leverages GPU acceleration and parallel processing. The source code
    is available at https://github.com/paloha/faket/.

  text: In long-lived mammals, including humans, brain cell homeostasis is critical
    for maintaining brain function throughout life. Most neurons are generated during
    development and must maintain their cellular identity and plasticity to preserve
    brain function. Although extensive studies indicate the importance of recycling
    and regenerating cellular molecules to maintain cellular homeostasis, recent evidence
    has shown that some proteins and RNAs do not turn over for months and even years.
    We propose that these long-lived cellular molecules may be the basis for maintaining
    brain function in the long term, but also a potential convergent target of brain
    aging. We highlight key discoveries and challenges, and propose potential directions
    to unravel the mystery of brain cell longevity.
