Radiative transfer and inversion codes for characterizing planetary atmospheres: an overview
No full text<p xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">The study of planetary atmospheres is crucial for understanding the origin, evolution, and processes that shape celestial bodies like planets, moons and comets. The interpretation of planetary spectra requires a detailed understanding of radiative transfer (RT) and its application through computational codes. With the advancement of observations, atmospheric modelling, and inference techniques, diverse RT and retrieval codes in planetary science have been proliferated. However, the selection of the most suitable code for a given problem can be challenging. To address this issue, we present a comprehensive mini-overview of the different RT and retrieval codes currently developed or available in the field of planetary atmospheres. This study serves as a valuable resource for the planetary science community by providing a clear and accessible list of codes, and offers a useful reference for researchers and practitioners in their selection and application of RT and retrieval codes for planetary atmospheric studies.</p>

Evidence for two distinct phosphorylation pathways activated by high immunoglobulin E receptors.
No full textThe high affinity receptor for immunoglobulin (Ig) E on mast cells, along with the antigen receptors on T and B cells and Fc receptors for IgG, belongs to a class of receptors which lack intrinsic kinase activity, but activate non-receptor tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases. Receptor engagement triggers a chain of signaling events leading from protein phosphorylation to activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, an increase in intracellular calcium levels, and ultimately the activation of more specialized functions. IgE receptor disengagement leads to reversal of phosphorylation by undefined phosphatases and to inhibition of activation pathways. Here we show that phenylarsine oxide, a chemical which reacts with thiol groups and has been reported to inhibit tyrosine phosphatases, uncouples the IgE receptor-mediated phosphorylation signal from activation of phosphatidyl inositol metabolism, the increase in intracellular calcium levels, and serotonin release. Phenylarsine oxide inhibits neither the kinases (tyrosine and serine/threonine) phosphorylating the receptor and various cellular substrates nor, unexpectedly, the phosphatases responsible for the dephosphorylation following receptor disengagement. By contrast, it abolishes the receptor-mediated phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1, but not phospholipase C activity in vitro. Therefore the phosphorylation and activation of phospholipase C likely requires a phenylarsine oxide-sensitive element. Receptor aggregation thus activates at least two distinct phosphorylation pathways: a phenylarsine oxide-insensitive pathway leading to phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the receptor and of various substrates and a sensitive pathway leading to phospholipase C-gamma 1 phosphorylation
Inhibition of intra-Golgi transport in vitro by mitotic kinase
No full textIt has previously been shown that exocytic and endocytic membrane traffic are inhibited in mitotic mammalian cells. Here we have used a cell-free intra-Golgi transport assay supplemented with heterologous cytosols to mimic this effect in vitro. Cytosols with high histone kinase activity, made either from mitotic cells or by cyclin A treatment of interphase cells, inhibited intra-Golgi transport by up to 75%. Inhibition of transport was reversed by the kinase inhibitor staurosporine or by reduction in ATP levels leading to inactivation of histone kinase. The data indicate that cell cycle control of intra-Golgi transport is due to a reversible modification of cytosol, and this assay system may be used to study the molecular mechanism of mitotic transport inhibition in mammalian cells.</p
