The
manipulation of magnetism provides a unique opportunity for
the development of data storage and spintronic applications. Until
now, electrical control, pressure tuning, stacking structure dependence,
and nanoscale engineering have been realized. However, as the dimensions
are decreased, the decrease of the ferromagnetism phase transition
temperature (T
c) is a universal trend
in ferromagnets. Here, we make a breakthrough to realize the synthesis
of 1 and 2 unit cell (UC) Cr2Te3 and discover
a room-temperature ferromagnetism in two-dimensional Cr2Te3. The newly observed T
c increases strongly from 160 K in the thick flake (40.3 nm) to 280
K in 6 UC Cr2Te3 (7.1 nm). The magnetization
and anomalous Hall effect measurements provided unambiguous evidence
for the existence of spontaneous magnetization at room temperature.
The theoretical model revealed that the reconstruction of Cr2Te3 could result in anomalous thickness-dependent T
c. This dimension tuning method opens up a new
avenue for manipulation of ferromagnetism.
Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (K hib) is a novel posttranslational modification (PTM), which was thought to play a role in active gene transcription and cellular proliferation. Here we report a comprehensive identification of K hib in Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis). By combining affinity enrichment with two-dimensional liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry, 4735 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation sites were identified on 1051 proteins in P. mirabilis. These proteins bearing modifications were further characterized in abundance, distribution and functions. The interaction networks and domain architectures of these proteins with high confidence were revealed using bioinformatic tools. Our data demonstrate that many 2-hydroxyisobutyrylated proteins are involved in metabolic pathways, such as purine metabolism, pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. The extensive distribution of K hib also indicates that the modification may play important influence to bacterial metabolism. The speculation is further supported by the observation that carbon sources can influence the occurrence of K hib. Furthermore, we demonstrate that 2-hy-droxyisobutyrylation on K343 was a negative regulatory modification on Enolase (ENO) activity, and molecular docking results indicate the regulatory mechanism that K hib may change the binding formation of ENO and its substrate 2-phospho-D-glycerate (2PG) and cause the substrate far from the active sites of enzyme. We hope this first comprehensive analysis of nonhistone K hib in prokaryotes is valuable for further functional investigation of this modification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
