CUL4A and CUL4B are both coisolated with Vpr and Vpx.HIV-1 Vpr and HIV-2/SIV Vpr and Vpx all act through the CRL4 ubiquitin ligase complex. CUL4A and CUL4B were interchangeable for the HIV-1 Vpr and HIV-2/SIV Vpr phenotypes that we tested. HIV-2/SIV Vpr and Vpx are structurally similar to HIV-1 Vpr but do not necessarily deplete the same targets. Specifically, HIV-1 Vpr triggers UNG2 depletion; however, neither HIV-2/SIVmac239 Vpr nor Vpx shares this phenotype. Conversely, HIV-2/SIVmac239 Vpx mediates the depletion of SAMDH1, but HIV-1 Vpr and HIV-2/SIVmac239 Vpr do not (see Fig. 6A). These observations prompted us to ask whether differences between Vpr and Vpx functions are linked to differential associations with CUL4A- or CUL4B-containing CRL4 complexes.

I tell him most of the Kinmenese I’ve talked to say they want to maintain the status quo with China.

The men, looking pleased and bashful under large-billed caps, all smile. “You may not have noticed, but the mainland boats aren’t flying flags when they arrive,” one of them says. “They stop flying the national flag at the halfway point, as do we.”

… Looking ahead, Salkeld said he sees a continued push towards robotics with a crew of two or less, both for costs and increased safety.

Cell cycle and infectivity analyses.Cultures of HEK293T cells or HEK293T cell lines stably expressing shRNA (described above) were infected at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 3 with virus, as described below. Forty-eight hours after infection, the cells were collected and washed three times with 1 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Cell nuclei were isolated by incubating the cell pellets in a solution containing 10 mM PIPES [piperazine-N,N′-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid)], 0.1 M NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, and 0.1% Triton X-100 (pH 6.8). RNase A (0.2 mg/ml) and propidium iodide (0.02 mg/ml) were added to the suspended nuclei to degrade RNA and stain DNA, respectively. Nuclear DNA content was quantitated by flow cytometry using a FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). The fraction of cells in the G1 or G2/M phase of the cell cycle was determined by analysis using FlowJo software. For infectivity analyses, cells infected with a luciferase reporter virus were prepared for luciferase assays by using the Promega luciferase assay kit in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (catalog no. E501; Promega). Photon emission was measured by using a Victor V3 luminometer (PerkinElmer).

To talk about ‘4 percent of nameplate capacity’ is grossly misleading and, in fact, makes no sense. If you want to talk about performance you have to compare the expected energy produced (based on solar models for the location) to actual energy produced. If that energy is sold to the grid and the operators can make money, you have what we call a ‘business’. This is what has been happening in Alberta for more than 20 years, under multiple governments.

“It is important to know if the ISM Manufacturing PMI is telling us something that will happen or has happened,” Dutta said. “The markets are already pricing in a fairly sharp decline and so we’d argue that the threshold for the market to move on a downside surprise is high.”

The next morning, I asked Friston if he thought the talk went well, considering that few of those bright young minds seemed to understand him. “There is going to be a substantial proportion of the audience who—it’s just not for them,” he said. “Sometimes they get upset because they’ve heard that it’s important and they don’t understand it. They think they have to think it’s rubbish and they leave. You get used to that.”
