E2F transcription factor is subject to stringent regulation by a variety of molecules. We recently observed that prohibitin, potential tumor suppressor protein, binds the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein and represses transcriptional activity. Here we demonstrate prohibitin requires marked box region for repression; further, can effectively inhibit colony formation induced overexpression E2F1 in T47D cells. Prohibitin was also found interact with signaling kinase c-Raf-1, Raf-1 could reverse...
ABSTRACTCells initiate proliferation in response to growth factor stimulation, but the biochemical mechanisms linking signals received at cell surface receptors cycle regulatory molecules are not yet clear. In this study, we show that signaling molecule Raf-1 can physically interact with Rb and p130 proteins vitro vivo interaction be detected mammalian cells without overexpressing any component. The binding of occurs subsequent mitogen only proliferating cells. inactivate function reverse...
We show that the abundance and redshift distribution ($dN/dz$) of galaxy clusters in future high-yield cluster surveys, combined with spatial power spectrum [${P}_{c}(k)$] same clusters, can place significant constraints on evolution dark energy equation state, $w=w(a)$. evaluate expected errors ${w}_{a}=\ensuremath{-}dw/da$ other cosmological parameters using a Fisher matrix approach, simultaneously including structure our analysis. study three different types forthcoming surveys will...
We apply the technique of parameter splitting to existing cosmological data sets, check for a generic failure dark energy models. Given parameter, such as density ${\ensuremath{\Omega}}_{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ or equation state $w$, we split it into two meta-parameters with one controlling geometrical distances, and other growth structure. Observational spanning Type Ia Supernovae, cosmic microwave background (CMB), galaxy clustering, weak gravitational lensing statistics are fit without...
The interplay between electron-electron interactions and the honeycomb topology is expected to produce exotic quantum phenomena find applications in advanced devices. Semiconductor-based artificial graphene (AG) an ideal system for these studies that combines high-mobility electron gases with AG topology. However, date, low-disorder conditions reveal of interaction symmetry have not been achieved. Here, we report creation preserves near-perfection pristine layer by fabricating small period...
We propose to use a simple observable, the fractional area of "hot spots" in weak gravitational lensing mass maps which are detected with high significance, determine background cosmological parameters. Because these high-convergence regions directly related physical nonlinear structures universe, they derive information mainly from regime density fluctuations. show that combination future cosmic microwave anisotropy measurements, this method can place constraints on parameters comparable...
An ultrahigh field emission current density of 10.3 mA cm − 2 was obtained from nitrogen-implanted ZnO nanowires. The sample characterized and clearly showed a nitrogen doping signal. Field properties the nanowires were considerably improved after N-implantation with lower turn-on much higher density. Removal an amorphous layer, presence nanoscale protuberances, surface-related defects found to be responsible for significantly enhanced emission. Our work is important possible applications in...

Engineered honeycomb lattices, called artificial graphene (AG), are tunable platforms for the study of novel electronic states related to Dirac physics. In this work, we report achievement bands topology with period as low 40 nm on nano-patterned modulation-doped AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells. Resonant inelastic light scattering spectra reveal peaks which interpreted combined transitions between subbands well confinement a change in AG band index. Spectra lineshapes explained by joint density...
There have long been considerable efforts to study the many-body quantum phase diagram and transitions of interacting bosonic particles in solid-state systems. The particular aim is realization identification Bose-Einstein condensation, a coherent ground state with all condensed into macroscopic ground-state wave function. authors probe photogenerated excitonic ensembles coexistence two-dimensional hole system confined GaAs double well structures electrostatically trapped by local gate...
It has been shown that in an idealized galaxy cluster survey, containing ≳10,000 clusters, statistical errors on dark energy and other cosmological parameters would be at the percent level. Furthermore, through ``self-calibration,'' describing mass-observable relation cosmology could simultaneously determined, although a loss accuracy by about order of magnitude. Here we examine alternative approach to self-calibration, which parameterized ab initio physical model is used compute theoretical...

Recent reports on the observation of room temperature ferromagnetism in Cu doped ZnO have been highly regarded by scientific community. There are several contradicting where some authors confirmed occurrence while others ruled it out. Even studies is reported, effect carrier type with ferromagnetic properties still unclear. To study this problem, Cu-doped (5%) single crystalline films grown Si substrates was observed. were prepared pulsed laser deposition. Hall measurements showed that...
