    Telomeric repeat–containing RNA (TERRA) plays a central role in telomere maintenance in telomerase-negative cancers that employ the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway; however, its RNA G-quadruplex (rG4) structures remain underexplored as chemical targets. Here, we report a structure-guided approach to selectively modulate TERRA rG4 using an indoloquinoxaline-based small-molecule scaffold. Biophysical analyses confirm high-affinity and selective binding, while NMR and computational studies identify terminal tetrad stacking as the dominant binding mode of the ligand to the TERRA rG4. Ligand engagement disrupts the TERRA–TRF2 interaction (ELISA, EMSA) and alters TERRA abundance (qRT-PCR). Transcriptomic (RNA-seq) analysis reveals ligand-induced differential expression of ALT-associated genes and DNA metabolism pathways. In ALT-positive U2OS cells, the ligand localizes to the nucleus, induces telomere-associated DNA damage, and triggers S-phase arrest and apoptosis. These findings establish TERRA rG4 as a chemically addressable structural element in ALT biology and demonstrate the potential of small molecules to probe and modulate long non-coding RNA (lncRNA-)–mediated genome maintenance.

    Affinity-dependent peptide loading drives sequential disassembly of the peptide-loading complex

    Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) depends on the accurate assembly of peptide–MHC I complexes, yet the molecular mechanism coupling peptide loading to peptide-loading complex (PLC) disassembly remains unresolved. Progress has been limited by the lack of an in vitro system that faithfully recapitulates the native membrane environment. Here, we reconstitute intact human PLCs in liposomes, enabling analysis of peptide loading, MHC I release, and post-release glycan processing under membrane-reconstituted conditions. We show that high-affinity peptide binding triggers allomorph-specific release of MHC I from the PLC, independent of the conformational state of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). Furthermore, glucosidase II-mediated N-glycan trimming and calreticulin dissociation occur predominantly after MHC I exits the PLC, revealing a sequential disassembly mechanism. These findings define the molecular sequence of events underlying PLC disassembly and provide a versatile platform for mechanistic studies of antigen processing.

    Assessing global freshwater resources and human water use is of value for a number of needs but challenging. The global water use and water availability model WaterGAP has been in development since 1996 and has served a range of applications such as assessments of global water resources and water stress, also under the impact of climate change, drought hazard quantification, Life Cycle Assessments, water (over)use and consequently depletion of water resources and a better understanding of terrestrial water storage variations (jointly with satellite observations). Here, the reader can download model output for the time period 1901-2019 that was computed by driving WaterGAP v2.2e by four alternative climate datasets (climate forcings) that were generated in the ISIMIP context (https://www.isimip.org) and are described in https://data.isimip.org/10.48364/ISIMIP.982724. For two climate datasets, model runs up to 2021 or 2022 are available. For comparison, output of a version of WaterGAP v2.2d that is calibrated to the same dataset of observed streamflow as WaterGAP v2.2e is provided. Each of the climate forcing-model version combinations is run in two socio-economic settings, histsoc and nosoc. In nosoc, human water use is set to zero and man-made reservoirs are assumed to be non-existant. In the paper connected to this dataset (to be submitted to Geoscientific Model Development), the newest model version, WaterGAP v2.2e is described by providing the modifications to the previous version v2.2d (Müller Schmied et al. 2021) and the corresponding changes in model output. The most important and requested model outputs (total water storage variations, streamflow and water use) are evaluated against observation data. Standard model output is described as well as the specifics of the WaterGAP contribution within the ISIMIP framework.

    A j_eff 12 Kitaev material on the triangular lattice: The case of NaRuO2
    Motivated by recent reports of a quantum disordered ground state in the triangular lattice compound NaRuO$_2$, we derive a $j_{\rm eff}=1/2$ magnetic model for this system by means of first-principles calculations. The pseudospin Hamiltonian is dominated by bond-dependent off-diagonal $\Gamma$ interactions, complemented by a ferromagnetic Heisenberg exchange and a notably \emph{antiferromagnetic} Kitaev term. In addition to bilinear interactions, we find a sizable four-spin ring exchange contribution with a \emph{strongly anisotropic} character, which has been so far overlooked when modeling Kitaev materials. The analysis of the magnetic model, based on the minimization of the classical energy and exact diagonalization of the quantum Hamiltonian, points toward the existence of a rather robust easy-plane ferromagnetic order, which cannot be easily destabilized by physically relevant perturbations.
