    Description: Blue light regulates many physiological processes in fungi, but their photoreceptors are not known. In Neurospora crassa, all light responses depend on the Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain-containing transcription factor white collar-1 (wc-1). By removing the WC-1 light, oxygen, or voltage domain, a specialized PAS domain that binds flavin mononucleotide in plant phototropins, we show that light responses are abolished, including light entrainment of the circadian clock. However, the WC-1-mediated dark activation of frq remains normal in this mutant, and the circadian clock can be entrained by temperature. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the purified Neurospora WC-1-WC-2 protein complex is associated with stoichiometric amounts of the chromophore flavin-adenine dinucleotide. Together, these observations suggest that WC-1 is the blue-light photoreceptor for the circadian clock and other light responses in Neurospora.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉He, Qiyang -- Cheng, Ping -- Yang, Yuhong -- Wang, Lixing -- Gardner, Kevin H -- Liu, Yi -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Aug 2;297(5582):840-3.

    Description: A novel coronavirus (SCoV) is the etiological agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). SCoV-like viruses were isolated from Himalayan palm civets found in a live-animal market in Guangdong, China. Evidence of virus infection was also detected in other animals (including a raccoon dog, Nyctereutes procyonoides) and in humans working at the same market. All the animal isolates retain a 29-nucleotide sequence that is not found in most human isolates. The detection of SCoV-like viruses in small, live wild mammals in a retail market indicates a route of interspecies transmission, although the natural reservoir is not known.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guan, Y -- Zheng, B J -- He, Y Q -- Liu, X L -- Zhuang, Z X -- Cheung, C L -- Luo, S W -- Li, P H -- Zhang, L J -- Guan, Y J -- Butt, K M -- Wong, K L -- Chan, K W -- Lim, W -- Shortridge, K F -- Yuen, K Y -- Peiris, J S M -- Poon, L L M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Oct 10;302(5643):276-8.
