- We present a study into the collision-induced dissociation (possibly including electron stripping) of O-3(+) and N-3(+) with rest gas molecules (predominantly H-2) in the heavy-ion storage ring CRYRING. The projectile ions had kinetic energies of 1.96 MeV (O-3(+)) and 2.25 MeV (N-3(+)) and from the experimental data we could derive the relative importance of the channels that produce at least one neutral product fragment. The dominant type of fragmentation for both ions involves the production of a single neutral fragment, namely an individual atom. We also find pronounced dissimilarities when comparing the O-3(+) and N-3(+) results, which we link to the stronger chemical bonds in the nitrogen system.

Defense activated by 9-lipoxygenase-derived oxylipins requires specific mitochondrial proteins

- 9-Lipoxygenases (9-LOXs) initiate fatty acid oxygenation, resulting in the formation of oxylipins activating plant defense against hemibiotrophic pathogenic bacteria. Previous studies using nonresponding to oxylipins (noxy), a series of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants insensitive to the 9-LOX product 9-hydroxy-10,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid (9-HOT), have demonstrated the importance of cell wall modifications as a component of 9-LOX-induced defense. Here, we show that a majority (71%) of 41 studied noxy mutants have an added insensitivity to isoxaben, an herbicide inhibiting cellulose synthesis and altering the cell wall. The specific mutants noxy2, noxy15, and noxy38, insensitive to both 9-HOT and isoxaben, displayed enhanced susceptibility to Pseudomonas syringae DC3000 as well as reduced activation of salicylic acid-responding genes. Map-based cloning identified the mutation in noxy2 as At5g11630 encoding an uncharacterized mitochondrial protein, designated NOXY2. Moreover, noxy15 and noxy38 were mapped at the DYNAMIN RELATED PROTEIN3A and FRIENDLY MITOCHONDRIA loci, respectively. Fluorescence microscopy and molecular analyses revealed that the three noxy mutants characterized exhibit mitochondrial dysfunction and that 9-HOT added to wild-type Arabidopsis causes mitochondrial aggregation and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. The results suggest that the defensive responses and cell wall modifications caused by 9-HOT are under mitochondrial retrograde control and that mitochondria play a fundamental role in innate immunity signaling.

A Proposal for an Individualized Pharmacogenetics-Based Warfarin Initiation Dose Regimen for Patients Commencing Anticoagulation Therapy

- A significant proportion of the interindividual variability in warfarin dose requirements can be explained on the basis of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes. We report the development of a novel pharmacogenetics-based 3-day warfarin initiation dose (ID) algorithm based on the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (IWPC) maintenance dose algorithm and the CYP2C9 genotype-based variance in warfarin half-life. The predictive value of the pharmacogenetics-based ID was assessed in a large cohort of 671 newly diagnosed patients with thromboembolic disorders who were about to commence anticoagulation therapy in accordance with standard induction regimens. In patients with mean international normalized ratio (INR)(days 4-7)>4.0 (n = 63) after warfarin initiation, the pharmacogenetics-based ID algorithm predicted a markedly lower dose requirement (median reduction = 4.2 mg), whereas in those with mean INR(days 4-7) < 2.0 (n = 145), the predicted dose requirement was very similar to that in the standard regimen. The use of a pharmacogenetics-based ID may avoid overshooting of INR in warfarin-sensitive patients without unduly affecting the time taken to reach target range in the majority of patients.

ABSOLUTE PHOTODETACHMENT CROSS-SECTION MEASUREMENTS FOR HYDROCARBON CHAIN ANIONS
- 2011

- Absolute photodetachment cross sections have been measured for the hydrocarbon chain anions C(n)H(-), n = 2, 4, and 6, which are relevant for an understanding of molecular clouds in the interstellar medium. Data have been obtained for different photon energies within approximately 1 eV of the detachment threshold. With our recently developed method we have achieved a precision of better than 25% on these absolute cross sections. The experiments have been carried out by means of photodetachment tomography of the mass-selected molecular anions in a multipole radio-frequency ion trap. The measured absolute cross sections are in accordance with the empirical scaling law of Millar et al. and have allowed us to determine its free parameters. These results are important for predicting the photostability and thus the abundance of carbon chain anions in planetary atmospheres, in circumstellar envelopes, and in photon-dominated regions of interstellar molecular clouds.
