    Notes: Summary DNA sequencing was used to determine the specific types of DNA base changes induced following in vivo exposure of Escherichia coli to the ethylating agent N-ethyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG) and the hydroxyethylating agent 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-nitrosourea (HENU) using the xanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (gpt) gene as the genetic target. We observed that 22/30 of the ENNG-induced mutations were GC→AT transitions, 4/30 were AT→GC transitions, 3/30 were AT→TA transversions, and 1/30 was an AT→CG transversion. We observed that 37/40 HENU-induced mutations were GC→AT transitions and that the remaining 3/40 were AT→GC transitions. A majority of the GC→AT transitions induced by ENNG and HENU (68% and 73%, respectively) occurred at the second guanine of the sequence 5′-GG(A or T)-3′; this sequence specificity was similar to that previously seen with the alkylating agents N-methyl- and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU and ENU) and N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). A DNA strand preference for the G→A changes (antisense strand), previously noted for MNU, ENU, and MNNG, was observed following exposure to HENU and ENNG. The AT→GC transitions induced by ENNG, HENU, and ENU also exhibit a sequence specificity with 13/13 mutations occurring at the T of the sequence 5′-NTC-3′. A strand preference was not apparent for these mutations.

    DNA base changes induced following in vivo exposure of unadapted, adapted or Ada− Escherichia coli to N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (1987)

    Notes: Summary The adaptive response is one of the major repair pathways in Escherichia coli that removes DNA alkylation damage. To investigate the role of the adaptive response in mutagenesis, the E. coli gpt forward mutation assay system was used to determine the mutation spectrum of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in MNNG-adapted and unadapted GP120 (wild-type) and unadapted PJ5 (ada-5) cells. We observed that 34/37 mutations in the unadapted GP120 cells, 38/40 mutations in the adapted GP120 cells, and 10/10 mutations in the PJ5 cells were GC → AT transitions. The remaining 3/37 mutations in the unadapted GP120 cells were large insertions. The remaining 2/40 mutations in the adapted GP120 cells were transversions with one a GC → CG and the other an AT → CG. A surrounding sequence specificity of mutagenesis was observed for the GC → AT transitions in both the unadapted (GP120 and PJ5) and adapted (GP120) cells, with 70% of the unadapted PJ5, 68% of the unadapted GP120, and 61% of the adapted GP120 mutations occurring at the middle G of the sequence 5′—GG(A or T)—3′. Both strains also displayed a statistically significant preference for mutagenesis at guanine bases in the non-transcribed strand. The overall distribution of mutated sites in the gpt gene in adapted and unadapted cells was similar, although the rate of mutations at certain sites appeared different. These minor differences could result from either non-uniform repair of alkylation damage at different sites on the DNA, or altered processing of the alkylated bases to mutations in the adapted state. However, these results indicate that there are no major differences in the types, surrounding sequence specificity, or distribution of mutations in the adapted GP120, unadapted GP120, or the ada − PJ5 cells.

    Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene (2018)
    National Academy of Sciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-08-06
    Description: We explore the risk that self-reinforcing feedbacks could push the Earth System toward a planetary threshold that, if crossed, could prevent stabilization of the climate at intermediate temperature rises and cause continued warming on a “Hothouse Earth” pathway even as human emissions are reduced. Crossing the threshold would lead to a much higher global average temperature than any interglacial in the past 1.2 million years and to sea levels significantly higher than at any time in the Holocene. We examine the evidence that such a threshold might exist and where it might be. If the threshold is crossed, the resulting trajectory would likely cause serious disruptions to ecosystems, society, and economies. Collective human action is required to steer the Earth System away from a potential threshold and stabilize it in a habitable interglacial-like state. Such action entails stewardship of the entire Earth System—biosphere, climate, and societies—and could include decarbonization of the global economy, enhancement of biosphere carbon sinks, behavioral changes, technological innovations, new governance arrangements, and transformed social values.

    Seasonal copepod lipid pump promotes carbon sequestration in the deep North Atlantic (2015)
    National Academy of Sciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-09-03
    Description: Estimates of carbon flux to the deep oceans are essential for our understanding of global carbon budgets. Sinking of detrital material (“biological pump”) is usually thought to be the main biological component of this flux. Here, we identify an additional biological mechanism, the seasonal “lipid pump,” which is highly efficient at sequestering carbon into the deep ocean. It involves the vertical transport and metabolism of carbon rich lipids by overwintering zooplankton. We show that one species, the copepod Calanus finmarchicus overwintering in the North Atlantic, sequesters an amount of carbon equivalent to the sinking flux of detrital material. The efficiency of the lipid pump derives from a near-complete decoupling between nutrient and carbon cycling—a “lipid shunt,” and its direct transport of carbon through the mesopelagic zone to below the permanent thermocline with very little attenuation. Inclusion of the lipid pump almost doubles the previous estimates of deep-ocean carbon sequestration by biological processes in the North Atlantic.

    IJERPH, Vol. 14, Pages 727: “Look at the Whole Me”: A Mixed-Methods Examination of Black Infant Mortality in the US through Women’s Lived Experiences and Community Context (2017)
    MDPI Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-07-06
    Description: In the US, the non-Hispanic Black infant mortality rate exceeds the rate among non-Hispanic Whites by more than two-fold. To explore factors underlying this persistent disparity, we employed a mixed methods approach with concurrent quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Eighteen women participated in interviews about their experience of infant loss. Several common themes emerged across interviews, grouped by domain: individual experiences (trauma, grieving and counseling; criminalization); negative interactions with healthcare providers and the healthcare system; and broader contextual factors. Concurrently, we estimated the Black infant mortality rate (deaths per 1000 live births) using linked live birth-infant death records from 2010 to 2013 in every metropolitan statistical area in the US. Poisson regression examined how contextual indicators of population health, socioeconomic conditions of the Black population, and features of the communities in which they live were associated with Black infant mortality and inequity in Black–White infant mortality rates across 100 metropolitan statistical areas with the highest Black infant mortality rates. We used principal components analysis to create a Birth Equity Index in order to examine the collective impact of contextual indicators on Black infant mortality and racial inequity in mortality rates. The association between the Index and Black infant mortality was stronger than any single indicator alone: in metropolitan areas with the worst social, economic, and environmental conditions, Black infant mortality rates were on average 1.24 times higher than rates in areas where conditions were better (95% CI = 1.16, 1.32). The experiences of Black women in their homes, neighborhoods, and health care centers and the contexts in which they live may individually and collectively contribute to persistent racial inequity in infant mortality.
