Enzymatic self-assembly/disassembly turns “ON”/“OFF” the mimetic hydrolytic activity of histidine nanofibers

Mimetic enzymes are devised as alternates or supplements of natural enzymes in broad fields but regulating their activities in a switchable manner remains challenging.Herein,we proposed an enzymatic self-assembly/disassembly strategy to address this issue.A peptide molecule Nap FFEYIH(YH) was rationally designed which,after self-assembling into nanofibers,lined up the histidine moieties to form active hydrolysis centers for mimicking hydrolase activity.Enzymatic dephosphorylation of Nap FFEYp IH(Yp H) by alkaline phosphatase to yield YH also turned “ON” the hydrolase activity.In turn,phosphorylation of YH by phosphokinase epidermal growth factor receptor to yield Yp H disassembled the nanofibers and thus turned the activity “OFF”.As such,the “ON”/“OFF” of the mimetic hydrolase activities could be regulated under physiological conditions through ALP/EGFR-mediated self-assembly/disassembly of histidine nanofibers.This work provides a feasible strategy for the on-demand fabrication of artificial enzymes with controllable and superior activities.

Disassemblability Modeling Technology of Configurable Product Based on Disassembly Constraint Relation Weighted Design Structure Matrix(DSM)

The current research of configurable product disassemblability focuses on disassemblability evaluation and disassembly sequence planning. Little work has been done on quantitative analysis of configurable product disassemblability. The disassemblability modeling technology for configurable product based on disassembly constraint relation weighted design structure matrix （DSM） is proposed. Major factors affecting the disassemblability of configurable product are analyzed, and the disassembling degrees between components in configurable product are obtained by calculating disassembly entropies such as joint type, joint quantity, disassembly path, disassembly accessibility and material compatibility. The disassembly constraint relation weighted DSM of configurable product is constructed and configuration modules are formed by matrix decomposition and tearing operations. The disassembly constraint relation in configuration modules is strong coupling, and the disassembly constraint relation between modules is weak coupling, and the disassemblability configuration model is constructed based on configuration module. Finally, taking a hydraulic forging press as an example, the decomposed weak coupling components are used as configuration modules alone, components with a strong coupling are aggregated into configuration modules, and the disassembly sequence of components inside configuration modules is optimized by tearing operation. A disassemblability configuration model of the hydraulic forging press is constructed. By researching the disassemblability modeling technology of product configuration design based on disassembly constraint relation weighted DSM, the disassembly property in maintenance, recycling and reuse of configurable product are optimized.

pH-Sensitive assembly/disassembly gold nanoparticles with the potential of tumor diagnosis and treatment

Due to the ability to combine the separately unique characteristics of assembled and disassembled nanoparticles(NPs), the stimuli-responsive self-assembly of NPs has attracted considerable interest in functional material applications especially biomaterials. Here we demonstrate a facile and versatile approach to regulate the self-assembly process and transition pH of Au NPs by fine-tuning the co-modified pH-responsive compounds and poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG). Importantly the transition pH(ΔpH=0.4) of the system can be predetermined in the range of 8.2–5.8(assembled to disassembled) and 8.2–4.2(disassembled to assembled), which ideally covers the pH of normal tissue, tumor tissue milieu and organelles. The results of fluorescence imaging, Raman spectroscopy and photothermal conversion of the stimuli-responsive Au NPs shows the potential application for tumor specificity theranostics. In a nutshell this study provides a useful toolkit to design tumor-activatable self-assembled NPs with high specificity and universality.

STUDY ON HUMAN-COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR STABLE VIRTUAL DISASSEMBLY

The cooperative work between human being and computer based on virtual reality (VR) is investigated to plan the disassembly sequences more efficiently. A three-layer model of human-computer cooperative virtual disassembly is built, and the corresponding human-computer system for stable virtual disassembly is developed. In this system, an immersive and interactive virtual disassembly environment has been created to provide planners with a more visual working scene.

The supporting matrix for stability analysis of disassembly operations is defined and the method of stability analysis is detailed. Based on the approach, the stability of any disassembly operation can be analyzed to instruct the manual virtual disassembly. At last, a disassembly case in the virtual environment is given to prove the validity of above ideas.

The end-of-life vehicle recycling was studied based on the disassembly. The end-of-life recycling and the disassembly were reviewed and discussed. A disassembly experiment of an end-of-life engine was carried out, which strictly recorded the process of dismantling. Based on the results, a model of the end-of-life recycling was presented. In this model, the end-of-life parts were classified by three ways which included to recycle directly, to recycle after remanufacturing and to discard. By using this model, the dismantling efficiency and the recycling rate can be improved. Also, it obtains a good result after used in a dismantling factory.

Assembly and disassembly of mammalian chromosome pellicle

By means of indirect double immunofluorescent staining, the coordination of PI antigen and perichromonucleolin (PCN), the constituent of nuclear periphery and nucleolus respectively, in the assembly and disassembly of chromosome pellicle during mitosis was studied. It was found that in 3T3 cells, during mitosis PI antigen began to coat the condensing chromosome .surface earlier.than PCN did. However, both of them completed their coating on chromosome at approximately the same stage of mitosis, prometaphase metaphase. The dissociation of PI antigen from chromosome pellicle to participate the formation of nuclear periphery took, place also ahead of that of PCN. At early telophase PI antigen had been extensively involved in the formation of nuclear periphery, while PCN remained in association with the surface of decondensing chromosomes. At late telophase, when PI antigen was localized in an fairly well formed nuclear periphery, PCN was in a stage of forming prenucleolar bodies.

Crystal Structure of Sar1[H79G]-GDP Which Provides Insight into the Coat-controlled GTP Hydrolysis in the Disassembly of COP Ⅱ

Sarl is a small GTPase involved in COPⅡ vesicle transport. Previous studies showed that H79G mutation of Sarl can lock Sarl in its GTP-bound active conformation, stabilize coat assembly, and prevent the disassembly of COP Ⅱ vesicle coats by reducing Sec23/24 GAP- stimulated hydrolysis. We show here that the replacement of His79 by glycine induces a large conformation change in switch Ⅱ and results in the lost of hydrogen bond between His79 and its associated nucleophilic water molecule that was hypothesized to reduce the GAP-stimulated hydrolysis during the COP Ⅱ assembly and disassembly. These results confirm that the switch Ⅱ conformation is important for COP Ⅱ disassembly through coat-controlled GTP hydrolysis.

Automated Disassembly Sequence Prediction for Industry 4.0 Using Enhanced Genetic Algorithm

The evolution of Industry 4.0 made it essential to adopt the Internet of Things(IoT)and Cloud Computing(CC)technologies to perform activities in the new age of manufacturing.These technologies enable collecting,storing,and retrieving essential information from the manufacturing stage.Data collected at sites are shared with others where execution automatedly occurs.The obtained information must be validated at manufacturing to avoid undesirable data losses during the de-manufacturing process.However,information sharing from the assembly level at the manufacturing stage to disassembly at the product end-of-life state is a major concern.The current research validates the information optimally to offer a minimum set of activities to complete the disassembly process.An optimal disassembly sequence plan(DSP)can possess valid information to organize the necessary actions in manufacturing.However,finding an optimal DSP is complex because of its combinatorial nature.The genetic algorithm(GA)is a widely preferred artificial intelligence(AI)algorithm to obtain a near-optimal solution for the DSP problem.The converging nature at local optima is a limitation in the traditional GA.This study improvised the GA workability by integrating with the proposed priori crossover operator.An optimality function is defined to reduce disassembly effort by considering directional changes as parameters.The enhanced GA method is tested on a real-time product to evaluate the performance.The obtained results reveal that diversity control depends on the operators employed in the disassembly attributes.The proposed method’s solution can be stored in the cloud and shared through IoT devices for effective resource allocation and disassembly for maximum recovery of the product.The effectiveness of the proposed enhanced GA method is determined by making a comparative assessment with traditional GA and other AI methods at different population sizes.

Experimental Study on the Reduction Effect of Pit Texture on Disassembly Damage for Interference Fit

After remanufacturing disassembly,several kinds of friction damages can be found on the mating surface of interference fit.These damages should be repaired and the cost is closely related to the severity of damages.Inspired by the excellent performance of surface texture in wear reduction,5 shapes of pit array textures are added to the specimens’surface to study their reduction effect of disassembly damage for interference fit.The results of disassembly experiments show that the order of influence of texture parameters on disassembly damage is as follows:equivalent circle diameter of single texture,texture shape and texture surface density.The influence of equivalent circle diameter of single texture and texture shape are obviously more significant than that of texture surface density.The circular texture with a surface density of 30%and a diameter of 100μm shows an excellent disassembly damage reduction effect because of its perfect ability of abrasive particle collection.And the probability of disassembly damage formation and evolution is also relatively small on this kind of textured surface.Besides,the load-carrying capacity of interference fit with the excellent texture is confirmed by load-carrying capacity experiments.The results show that the load-carrying capacity of the excellent texture surface is increased about 40%compared with that of without texture.This research provides a potential approach to reduce disassembly damage for interference fit.

Disassembly Evaluation in Design of a System Using a Multi-Parameters Index

In order to help designers, consider disassembly in their design activities, a method for evaluation of product disassembly is proposed. Criteria characterizing the disassembility of a product are identified. Each criterion is assigned a coefficient, thus proposing an index of easy fixations (Iff) as a design indicator to evaluate the level of disassembly of a solution generated by the designer. This index is calculated as a weighted average of the indicators for evaluating the disassembility of the product. The proposed method uses information such as the list of subsets or parts, the component tree, the part geometry, the functional links between components and parts, the properties of the components. It has been tested on one product: the soy roaster.

A self-assembly/disassembly two-photo ratiometric fluorogenic probe for bacteria imaging

Fluorescence imaging has facilitated fluorescent probes to analyze the subcellular localization and dynamics of biological targets. In this paper, we reported a fluorogenic probe for bacteria imaging. The probe was an imidazolium-derived pyrene compound, which self-assembled to form nano-particles and the pyrene fluorescence was quenched by the aggregation effects. When the self-assembly nanoparticles interacted with anionic bacteria surfaces, synergistic effects of electrostatic interaction and hydrophobic force caused competing binding between bacteria surfaces and imidazoliums. This binding resulted in the disassembly of the aggregates to give fluorescence turn-on signal. Meanwhile, the probe bound bacteria surfaces and displayed both pyrene-excimer and pyrene-monomer fluorescence, which gave ratiometric signal. Then, fluorescent labeling by the probe enabled the two-photo ratiometric imaging of bacteria.

Protein arginine methyltransferase 3 fine-tunes the assembly/disassembly of pre-ribosomes to repress nucleolar stress by interacting with RPS2B in arabidopsis

Ribosome biogenesis,which takes place mainly in the nucleolus,involves coordinated expression of preribosomal RNAs(pre-rRNAs)and ribosomal proteins,pre-rRNA processing,and subunit assembly with the aid of numerous assembly factors.Our previous study showed that the Arabidopsis thaliana protein arginine methyltransferase AtPRMT3 regulates pre-rRNA processing;however,the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown.Here,we report that AtPRMT3 interacts with Ribosomal Protein S2(RPS2),facilitating processing of the 90S/Small Subunit(SSU)processome and repressing nucleolar stress.We isolated an intragenic suppressor of atprmt3-2,which rescues the developmental defects of atprmt3-2 while produces a putative truncated AtPRMT3 protein bearing the entire N-terminus but lacking an intact enzymatic activity domain We further identified RPS2 as an interacting partner of AtPRMT3,and found that loss-of-function rps2a2b mutants were phenotypically reminiscent of atprmt3,showing pleiotropic developmental defects and aberrant pre-rRNA processing.RPS2B binds directly to pre-rRNAs in the nucleus,and such binding is enhanced in atprmt3-2.Consistently,multiple components of the 90S/SSU processome were more enriched by RPS2B in atprmt3-2,which accounts for early pre-rRNA processing defects and results in nucleolar stress.Collectively,our study uncovered a novel mechanism by which AtPRMT3 cooperates with RPS2B to facilitate the dynamic assembly/disassembly of the 90S/SSU processome during ribosome biogenesis and repress nucleolar stress.

Then the ant generates its own disassembly sequences one by one and updates the inspiring factor and pheromone matrix. After all iterations, the best disassembly sequence planning of components and connectors are given. Finally, an application instance of the disassembly sequence of the jack is presented to illustrate the validity of this method.
