Structural basis for (p)ppGpp synthesis by the Staphylococcus aureus small alarmone synthetase RelP
Melek Cemre Manav, Jelena Beljantseva, Martin Saxtorph Bojer, Tanel Tenson, Hanne Ingmer, Vasili Hauryliuk and Ditlev Egeskov Brodersen
The stringent response is a global reprogramming of bacterial physiology that renders cells more tolerant to antibiotics and induces virulence gene expression in pathogens in response to stress. This process is driven by accumulation of the intracellular alarmone guanosine-5'-di(tri)phosphate-3'-diphosphate ([p]ppGpp), which is produced by enzymes of the RelA SpoT homologue (RSH) family. The Gram-positive Firmicute pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus, encodes three RSH enzymes: a multi-domain RSH (Rel) that senses amino acid starvation on the ribosome and two small alarmone synthetase (SAS) enzymes, RelQ (SAS1) and RelP (SAS2). In Bacillus subtilis, RelQ (SAS1) was shown to form a tetramer that is activated by pppGpp and inhibited by single stranded RNA, but the structural and functional regulation of RelP (SAS2) is unexplored. Here, we present crystal structures of S. aureus RelP in two major functional states, pre-catalytic (bound to GTP and the non-hydrolyzable ATP analogue, AMPCPP) and post-catalytic (bound to pppGpp). We observed that RelP also forms a tetramer, but unlike RelQ (SAS1), it is strongly inhibited by both pppGpp and ppGpp and is insensitive to inhibition by RNA. We also identified putative metal ion-binding sites at the subunit interfaces that were consistent with the observed activation of the enzyme by Zn2+ ions. The structures reported here reveal the details of the catalytic mechanism of SAS enzymes and provide a molecular basis for understanding differential regulation of SAS enzymes in Firmicute bacteria.

If you have a linear mixed model where
$$y_{n \times 1} = X_{n \times p} \beta_{p \times 1} + Z_{n \times k} \alpha_{k \times 1} + \epsilon_{n \times 1},$$
where $\alpha \sim N(0,\sigma^2I_k)$ and $\epsilon \sim N(0, \tau^2I_n)$, but $k >> n$ (and $p << n$), can you still fit the model in R using the lmer() function in the lme4 package to get the REML estimates of $\sigma^2$ and $\tau^2$? I wonder if the large number of random effects would not work.
If I can use lmer(), then how would the formula look if $k$ is super large? If I can't use lmer(), what would you suggest to get REML estimates of $\sigma^2$ and $\tau^2$?

Friday – December 14th, 2018
Hello TCS families. Christmas is a wonderful time of year. Luke 2:8-11 says, "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord". Enjoy the Christmas season with your family. Here are a few news items that we wanted to share with you. Have a great weekend!

Trying to give up booze or sweets entirely? Just don't.
Trying to give up booze or sweets entirely for a month or longer? Take my advice, just don't. Caity Hardy explains why going cold turkey is often never a good idea.
We've all been in the same scenario. After a big night out drinking or in the New Year, we think "hmm, I really should stop drinking for a month" or "I should completely cut sugar or fast food from my diet". Sound familiar? If you want to live a healthier lifestyle, completely cutting something from your diet for a set amount of time isn't going to work at all.
Personal trainer Kayley Cauvin from Code 5 Fitness in Brookvale explains that "cutting something out for a set amount of time isn't really sustainable. It's a short-term fix for a long-term problem, which inevitably causes a rebound into our old habits."
Here are my top tips for living a healthier lifestyle (but still enjoying the odd glass of wine and a slice of pizza).
It's all about balance – reduce, not restrict
The more we restrict and deprive ourselves of something, the more likely we want those things, hence we binge and create horrible relationships with food. Kayley's advice is "Make it really simple for yourself. Break down the problem and think, okay I'll eat or drink this three times a week instead of five."
When we have this mindset the less likely we are to binge and we'll actually find that we don't really need those Saturday-night wines at all.
Everything takes time
If you do really want to cut something out completely, the best way to do so is progressively over time. As Kayley explains, "Make small changes that will develop into positive habits and allow flexibility to your lifestyle". But remember, don't feel bad if you have a bad day, because tomorrow is a new day!
If one of your mates doesn't want to drink at dinner or if they choose the healthier option, it's important to respect their decisions and support them. Something I've noticed is that we are so quick to judge others and project our own insecurities onto them.

text: Cape Town - New South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus hopes the three-Test series against England will help the Springboks to bury memories of their recent dismal run as they look to rediscover their winning mentality before next year's World Cup.South Africa host England in Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and Cape Town in June, which follows a showdown with Wales in the United States on June 2."In an ideal world, the Boks would go through 2018 unbeaten, but that's something very few teams achieve, so we have to be realistic and take things one step at a time. Which is exactly why our focus should only be on Wales and England," Erasmus told SA Rugby's Springbok magazine, as quoted by SuperSport.com.Erasmus was appointed in March to replace Allister Coetzee after a terrible two-year tenure during which the Springboks suffered a record 57-0 defeat by New Zealand, lost at home to Ireland for the first time and away to Italy and slipped to sixth in the world rankings.He has been tasked with turning around the team's form before the 2019 World Cup in Japan."Since my return to South Africa, I've been around the country and I can sense great urgency among our players and coaches. We all know things have been a little disappointing for our rugby lately, but the will to improve is there and that excites me," Erasmus added."We also have some time before the next World Cup to ensure the Boks go to Japan with all the ammunition needed to be successful."We're aware that we're not given much of a chance to be successful next year in Japan, but I know we have the players and expertise to give the Boks a realistic chance to be successful at the World Cup."Erasmus, 45, coached at Munster in Ireland before returning late last year to take up a role as Director of Rugby at SA Rugby, to which the Springboks coaching job has been added.He hopes the England series will provide a boost for the rest of the season."Eddie Jones has done a wonderful job (as coach of England), just look at their record since the last World Cup," Erasmus said."They will provide a stern test for the Boks, but we're playing at home and this is where I believe the foundation for the rest of the season has to be laid."Read full story on SuperSport.com

My Big Break
A year and a half ago I was lying in bed and thinking about how stupid my life was. I was going from gig to gig, moving in and out of my mom's house, and constantly submitting myself to auditions, the outcome of which seemed to be as arbitrary as a roll of the dice. As much fun as I was having, I doubted that any sane person would trade places with me. But then I thought maybe...just maybe...the sane people of the world might want to get a taste of what life is like in my shoes, without having to risk the silly staples of their own lives like finacial stability and being able to stay in a relationship for more than a few months.
The next day I couldn't wait to tell everybody about my board game idea. I've had a lot of ideas that never have amounted much, but luckily with the help of my friends, and of some hardworking foreigners, production of my first board game is further along than I've ever thought possible.
The first version of the game barely resembled what it is now. It did involve dice, money, and gigs, but it was a game without turns, and it involved so much more math than anybody interested in theatre would ever have the patience to calculate. Luckily My Big Break1.0 didn't last more than a few days.
My Big Break2.0 fared a little better. It involved taking turns rolling dice to audition for gigs. Players also earned bitter cards (at the time they were called 'bitch cards') for failing auditions, which could be used to thwart other players in their goals. However, after a few weeks it too was significantly revamped.
Enter My Big Break3.0, which is pretty much the most basic version of the current game. We play tested this one to death trying to make it both fun and realistic, all the while keeping the game from taking hours to play. This was much more difficult than one might imagine. This version incorporated rolling up to 5 dice for each audition, depending on what a player was auditioning for. This version also offered the players an opportunity to compete with each other for rolls. Finally the game became structured so that more bitter cards came out later in the game than earlier in the game.
Eventually I submitted a prototype of the game to be played by die hard gamers that were strangers not interested in being my friends. They gave a lot of suggestions, and the game has since become My Big Break4.0. The new version involves players developing their abilities in three different areas-singing, dancing, and acting. Also, when a player completes a gig, they now get a closing card, which is a special bonus that also speeds up the game.
In March 2014 I started building My Big Break on thegamecrafter.com. I had all the building blocks of the game, but I wanted the game to be cartoonish and fun looking. I found an artist on Fiverr.com to do the majority of the artwork on the game. By the end of June, all of the artwork on the Bitter Cards was complete. I then turned toward the board. I decided that the game could retail for much less if the playing surface was printed on jumbo cards instead of on a thick board. I had all of these components complete by the end of August. The Closing Cards were completed around Christmas, and now we are focusing on the box and the instruction manual.
Later this year I'll turn my attention towards the first expansion of the game. This will involve two added gigs-a theme park and a dinner theater. This also gives players the option of waiting tables in New York City and of getting an agent to help with securing gigs. The expansion will also create more bitter cards and closing cards for more variety of play. The expansion will be very inexpensive to order because it will only involve a few card decks and a box.
Risks and challenges
I've funded this project myself, and I've spent about $800 on it so far. I'm not using kickstarter to raise money so much as raise awareness and community on the project. I expect to spend about another $200 or so on it. When the game retails on thegamecrafter.com, I'll make about $5 profit per copy in profit on it. I would have to sell about 160 copies this way to break even on the project. I'm not expecting the project to be a financial success so much as an artistic one.
The biggest challenge from here on out is getting more and more theatre people to know about it and to spread the word among the acting community that there is now a board game FOR them and ABOUT them.
There exists a 'competing' board game already. It is called Be a Broadway Star and it is basically Life but set with actors. I invite anybody to check it out. There is little to no strategy involved and next to zero interaction. My Big Break is simply a better game, in my opinion. If it weren't, I would have given up this project months ago.

First Come First Serve
Fort Works Art hosted the first annual First Come First Serve Open Call Exhibition in February of 2018. This exhibition gave the opportunity for 150 artists who entered to be shown in a gallery space. All works were accepted in the order that they were received until the gallery was at full capacity.
"First Come First Serve" is Fort Works Art's most experiential exhibition to date, featuring an eclectic mix of 2D and 3D contemporary artworks pulled from an open call for submissions and accepted under the first come first served premise until the gallery reached capacity.
In line with the gallery's mission of serving as a high-profile platform for artists in all stages of their careers, this innovative show brings together an energetic combination of both undiscovered talents and seasoned veterans. The egalitarian nature of the exhibition, which provides a unique opportunity for artists to introduce themselves and their works to audiences, some for the very first time, was met with an overwhelming response and brought in more than 300 submissions from local and national artists. From the submissions, more than 100 works have been accepted for exhibition and include everything from (paintings to mixed media projects, sculptures, other genres). And, due to the free-form nature of its curation, the show boasts a remarkable variety of artistic styles." -Fort Worth Culture Map

On the 107th birth anniversary of St. Mother Teresa, that falls on Saturday, the Missionaries of Charity's Mother House (MoC) in Kolkata organised a prayer service. Hundreds of nuns took part in the prayers.
On September 4, 2016, Vatican city had witnessed the canonisation of Mother Teresa with people across the world applauding Pope Francis for bestowing the title of a saint to her as 'Blessed Teresa of Calcutta'.
The process of canonisation had started long back in 1999 by a Canadian priest Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, the proposer, heading the canonisation process. After interviewing 113 witnesses proving Mother Teresa's virtuosity, Father Kolodiejchuk presented 35,000 pages as evidence to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in August 2001.
Vatican city chose Mother Teresa's 19th death anniversary as the day for the canonisation ceremony, which was attended by a 12-member delegation led by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
Out of the many miraculous deeds, Mother Teresa in her lifetime has been acclaimed to cure stomach tumour of a Monica Besra and multiple brain abscesses of a Marcilio Haddad Andrino.
20 years to her death, her contributions in treating leprosy in India have time and again been praised. In 1957, Mother Teresa requested the Delhi government to provide her with land on which she could build a shelter for the people suffering from the disease. Constructing a small hospital with dormitories, Mother Teresa named the Delhi ashram after Mahatma Gandhi.

Planning Algorithm and Multi-Vehicle Formation for Environmental Monitoring by Using Low-Cost UAVs
Environmental monitoring using autonomous low-cost Unmanned Ariel Vehicles (UAVs) have been emerged as an efficient and unique robotic application. Inspecting large terrains (e.g. natural reservers, water reservoirs ) is considered an intensive task for humans and critical by its nature since missing any detail could affect nature ecosystems and its integrity. Furthermore, natural environments inspection is a time and resource intensive task that should be performed as eciently and accurately as possible. In this talk, it is proposed a coverage planning algorithm for inspecting large terrais that maybe include complex natural structures, using low-cost UAVs. The proposed method follows a model based coverage path planning approach which generates an optimized path that passes through a set of admissible waypoints sampled uniformly to cover a relative complex environments. The algorithm provides a prediction of the relative coverage of the regions by using "a priori" representations or maps. A search space coverage path planner technique is proposed that uses UAV's on-board sensors' models to generate optimal paths that maximize coverage and accuracy and minimize travelled distance. In addition, a pattern formation for use of multi-uav systems is proposed to achieve geometric patterns and overlook the visibility limitation in UAVs. A methodology to reach a complete coordinate agreement is adopted to achieve a desired pattern. In this talk, a decentralized approach for circle formation is highlighted. Simulation results have validated the robustness of the proposed algorithm, where the pattern has been successfully constructed in a self-organized manner an UAV swarm.

The new NWS Weather-Ready Nation Strategic Plan (2019 - 2022) is now available. The plan is a culmination of more than a year-and-a-half of effort and engagement among NWS managers, employees, and Weather Enterprise partners. While the NWS vision and mission remain the same, there are three new goals identified in the plan:
In addition to the updated goals, the NWS is making a commitment to four Core Principles:
For a general overview of the improvements and details in the new strategic plan see our Plan In Brief here.
At no point in our history has the mission of the weather service to provide forecasts and warnings for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy been more important. As extreme weather becomes more common and damaging due to a confluence of physical and socioeconomic factors, the Nation is turning to the National Weather Service to provide weather, water, and climate observations, forecasts and warnings to protect life and property and enhance the national economy. This new plan is critical to achieve our strategic outcome of a Weather-Ready Nation.

We report new U–Pb zircon age data, zircon in situ oxygen isotope, mineral chemistry, whole-rock geochemistry and Sr–Nd isotopic compositions from the Early Devonian ultrapotassic Gucheng pluton in the North China Craton, and discuss its petrogenesis. The Gucheng pluton is exposed in the northern part of the North China Craton and forms a composite intrusion, consisting of K-feldspar-bearing clinopyroxenite, clinopyroxene-bearing syenite and alkali-feldspar syenite. Mineral phases in these lithologies include clinopyroxene (Wo43–48En19–35Fs18–38), sanidine (An0Ab3–11Or89–97), and subordinate titanite, andradite and Na-feldspar. These rocks show homogeneous Sr but variable Nd isotopic compositions, and have relatively high zircon in situ oxygen isotopes (δ18O = 5.2–6.7). The Gucheng plutonic rocks formed through fractional crystallization and accumulation from ultrapotassic magmas, which were originated from partial melting of metasomatic vein systems in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle of the North China Craton. These vein networks developed as a result of the reactions of fluids derived from subducted pelitic sediments on the downgoing Palaeo-Asian ocean floor with the enriched, subcontinental lithospheric mantle peridotites. Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U–Pb zircon dating has revealed a crystallization age of 415 Ma for the timing of the emplacement of the Gucheng pluton that marks the early stages of alkaline magmatism associated with the Andean-type continental margin evolution along the northern edge of the North China Craton facing the Palaeo-Asian Ocean.
The Tokoro Belt exposed in NE Hokkaido (Japan) represents part of a Late Cretaceous accretionary complex, which includes variously metamorphosed volcanic rocks that are interbedded with chert, lenticular limestone and some fore-arc sedimentary rocks. The Tokoro Belt is notably different from other Late Cretaceous accretionary complexes around the Pacific Rim because of widespread occurrence of basalts and volcaniclastic rocks in it. The Nikoro Group, characterized by widespread occurrence of volcanic rocks, is divided into western, eastern and southern sections based on the internal structure, geochemical affinities and metamorphic grades of their volcanic lithologies. OIB (ocean island basalt)-type volcanic rocks with low-grade metamorphic overprint predominate in the western and southern sections, whereas MORB (mid-ocean ridge basalt)- and OIA (ocean island alkaline basalt)-type rocks in the eastern section with partly high-pressure metamorphism make up the northern part of the eastern section. Trace element patterns display transitional trends from MORB to OIA geochemical affinities. OIB-type rocks display trace element characteristics similar to those of shield volcano lavas on Hawaii, rather than small and mainly alkaline, Polynesian hotspot lavas; furthermore, they show significant HREE (heavy rare earth element) enrichment probably caused by plume–ridge interaction. Widespread OIBs in the Tokoro Belt represents tectonic slices of a large (>80 km wide) Hawaiian-style, seamount shield volcano on the Izanagi oceanic plate that was accreted into the continental margin of Far East Asia in the Late Cretaceous.
The Zhangguangcai Range in the Xing'an Mongolian Orogenic Belt, NE China, contains Early Jurassic (c. 188 Ma) Dabaizigou (DBZG) porphyritic dolerite. Compared with other island-arc mafic rocks, the DBZG dolerite is characterized by high trace-element contents, relatively weak Nb and Ta enrichments, and no Zr, Hf or Ti depletions, similar to OIB-type rocks. Analysed rocks have (87Sr/86Sr)i ratios of 0.7033–0.7044, relatively uniform positive ɛNd(t) values of 2.3–3.2 and positive ɛHf(t) values of 8.5–17.1. Trace-element and isotopic modelling indicates that the DBZG mafic rocks were generated by partial melting of asthenospheric mantle under garnet- to spinel-facies conditions. The occurrence of OIB-like mafic intrusion suggests significant upwelling of the asthenosphere in response to lithospheric attenuation caused by continental rifting. These processes occurred in an incipient continental back-arc environment in the upper plate of a palaeo-Pacific slab subducting W–NW beneath East Asia.
The Jurassic Linglong granites, intrusive into the North China Craton (NCC) in eastern China, provide a critical record of the first major episode of lithospheric-scale extension and magmatism in NE China during Mesozoic time. Our U–Pb zircon dating reveals that the Linglong granites were emplaced during 161–158 Ma, shortly after the inception of a shallow subduction of the Palaeo-Pacific plate beneath East Asia during Middle Jurassic time. These granites have high alkali contents (K2O + Na2O = 8–9 wt%), low MgO and Mg no. values and variable Cr–Ni abundances. Their relatively high Ba and Sr concentrations, relatively low heavy rare Earth element (HREE) and strongly fractionated REE patterns characterize them as high Ba–Sr granites. The negative whole-rock εNd(t) values ranging from −22.4 to −10.9 and wide-ranging zircon εHf(t) values of −39.1 to −1.5 suggest that magmas of the Linglong granites were produced by partial melting of a garnet-amphibolite-bearing lower crust of the Jiaobei Terrane and by re-melting of the Triassic ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks and alkaline suites of the Sulu Terrane. The occurrence in the granitic rocks of inherited zircons of the Neoarchaean, Palaeoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, Palaeozoic and Triassic ages suggests that magmas of the Linglong granites interacted with the ancient crust in these terranes during their ascent. Asthenospheric upwelling, induced by the steepening and rapid rollback of the Palaeo-Pacific slab during Late Jurassic time, provided the heat source for the inferred lower crustal melting. Trench migration and thermal weakening of the crust caused extensional deformation and thinning in the eastern part of the NCC.
We report on the field occurrence and isotopic compositions of metamafic rocks exposed in the Serbo-Macedonian (Volvi and Therma bodies) and western Rhodope (Rila Mountains) massifs of Bulgaria and Greece. These metamafic units consist of high- and low-Ti gabbroic and basaltic rocks, whose Nd–Sr–Pb isotopes are compatible with mantle-derived MORB and OIB components with a small amount of crustal material involved in their melt source. These isotopic features combined with the field observations are consistent with an intra-continental rift origin of the metamafic rocks protolith, and are comparable to those of the Triassic rift-related mafic rocks in the northern Aegean region.

Headed Home
I used to be scared to death of death. The worst-case scenario would play out in my eight-year-old brain: I'd show up at Judgment Day and get a scowl and the boot. I'd then be led off to spend eternity writhing in agony with worms and flames and demons, trying to figure out how I could have been better or done it right.
Mercy met me in the valley of the shadow of death. He opened my eyes to a fuller, deeper, truer, more robust brand of love than I'd ever dared to consider. This grace—could it be? And could it be for me? That shift in my awareness of reality changed everything. My greatest fear has become my truest hope. We're all just passing through this life. Thanks be to God, there's more waiting for us!Read More »
Vast as the Sea
I find it beautiful how nature and truth mimic one another. It only makes sense because the Author of truth is also the Creator of all things, so He has quite the advantage.
Regret is like the sea: it laps at your feet and can drown you if you're not careful around the currents. It roars in the distance, hiding dangerous creatures in its dark depths. This sea also has calm days where the surface flawlessly reflects sunlight like a mirror. But my favorite similarity is that it has firmly established boundaries; God has told it, "You can only come this far" (Proverbs 8:29). The boundary of regret looks eerily similar to the cross.Read More »

An Arsenal of Hope
Each soul has its own distinct soundtrack, a series of melodies and lyrics that run through it in the middle of the night and under the wide open blue sky. The words whisper deep truths (or lies), the music beats or thrums or whirrs or tinkles or screams, and our lives match the cadence and cacophony. Our soul soundtracks run endlessly, but what we focus on over a long period of time can change the content.Read More »
When Hope Is Hard
Christmas isn't always the most wonderful time of the year. Thankful families think full about their loved ones in constant danger on active duty overseas. Loneliness bites at the fingertips of forgotten elders tucked away in their nursing home beds. Recently-emptied chairs and newly-filled graves loom large in the light of nativity season. Grief, bitterness, anger, exhaustion: these are the bundles we swaddle just as easily as a baby in a manger. These are the gifts it's just as costly to lay in His presence as gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
In the midst of the dark places, hope is hard. Honestly, it can seem downright fake. Who cares about the silver lining when the cloud has enveloped your heart for so long?Read More »
A Month of Hope
Have you ever noticed how quickly a certain smell can bring up emotions or memories? The hallway to my kindergarten always smelled of glue, crayons, and, somehow, learning. If you could bottle that scent up and release a bit around me unannounced, I'd immediately be transported right back to the place of months of the year and macaroni pieces.
I think my favorite smell of all is Christmas: a subtle combination of cinnamon, pine, cloves, vanilla, and hope. Above all, hope.Read More »
