BACKGROUND: Few studies have assessed the seroprevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 among Health Care Workers (HCWs) in Africa. We report findings from a survey among HCWs in three counties in Kenya.METHODS: We recruited 684 HCWs from Kilifi (rural), Busia...

The structure of the actin filament uncapping complex mediated by twinfilin.

Science advances

Sci Adv. 2021 Jan 27;7(5). doi: 10.1126/sciadv.abd5271. Print 2021 Jan.

Uncapping of actin filaments is essential for driving polymerization and depolymerization dynamics from capping protein-associated filaments; however, the mechanisms of uncapping leading to rapid disassembly are unknown. Here, we elucidated the x-ray crystal structure of the actin/twinfilin/capping protein complex...

Resistance to Colletotrichum crown rot (CCR, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) among commercial strawberry cultivars is variable, and increasing host resistance is a goal of the strawberry breeding program at the University of Florida. Twenty-eight accessions of Fragaria virginiana and...
