Presence of the calcaneal canal in basal Glires
ZHANG Zhao-Qun; LI Chuan-Kui; WANG Jian; WANG Yuan-Qing; MENG Jin
A unique canal (calcaneal canal) running diagonally through the calcaneus was commonly considered as characteristic for lagomorphs, both extant and fossil, but absent in rodents and other pertinent lagomorph relatives. However, our investigation of a calcaneus from the Middle Paleocene of Qianshan, Anhui Province and specimens previously grouped in Mimotonidae also shows presence of canals on calcaneus bones. To further explore the unique character, we scanned calcanei of Ordolagus, Mimolagus, Gomphos, Rhombomylus, and Oryctolagus using micro CT and investigated the calcanei of some other related taxa under microscope. Three-dimensional reconstructions of the calcanei based on CT data of these taxa confirmed the presence of apertures traversing the large medullary cavity. The diagonally oriented calcaneal canal is present not only in lagomorphs, but also in non-lagomorph duplicidentates, such as Mimotona, Gomophos, and simplicidentates, such as Rhombomylus, though smaller in size. Hence, the presence of calcaneal canal may be one of the synapomophic characters for Glires, not only for the order Lagomorpha. The shared calcaneus character confirms the close relationship between Simplicidentata and Duplicidentata. |

On the geological age of mammalian fossils from Shanmacheng, Gansu Province
ZHANG Zhao-Qun WANG Jian
The mammalian fossils (Mimolagus and Anagalopsis) from Shanmacheng in the Jiuxi Basin described by Bohlin in 1951 have long been enigmatic in systematics and controversial in the geological age. New survey in this area suggests the fossils were discovered from the Shanmacheng member of the Huoshaogou Formation. Comparisons of the Shanmacheng fossils with new specimens of Mimolagus from the Irdin Mahan Formation, and Anagale from the Late Eocene Ulan Gochu Formation, Nei Mongol, suggest an Eocene age for the Shanmacheng fossils. Reinterpretation of the fossil horizon and the paleomagnetic data of Dai et al. (2005) indicates the polarity zones from Huoshaogou section can be correlated to GPTS Chrons 13?18. Therefore, the Huoshaogou Formation may cover late Middle Eocene to Late Eocene and Bohlin’s fossil horizon can roughly be correlated to Chron18n (~39?40 Ma) of late Middle Eocene. The late Middle Eocene age of Mimolagus rodens narrows the time gap with its close relative Gomphos that have been recorded from Early to Middle Eocene. The archaic group Anagalidae may have become extinct before Oligocene. |

Novel ionic binders based on sulfonated polyether ether ketones and polysulfone backbones, bearing pendant lithiated fluorinated sulfonimide groups (SPEEK-PSI-Li and PSU-PSI-Li) were developed. Their performance in high performance silicon (Si) nano-particle anodes was studied in comparison with conventional binders such as lithiated sulfonated poly(ether-ether-ketone) containing fluorinated sulfonic acid side chains (SPEEK-PSA-Li), poly(vinylidene) difluoride (PVDF), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and alginate. Much superior to other anode binders, the ionic conducting SPEEK-PSI-Li binders could not only provide good adhesion properties, but also effectively reduce the over-potential during rapid charge and discharge cycles. When cycled at a current of 400 mA g 1, these anodes could maintain above 2000 mA h g 1 after 50 cycles. Even when cycled at a high current rate of 2000 mA g 1, the anodes with SPEEK-PSI-Li binders could be cycled above 500 mA h g 1 in 50 cycles. The superior performance of the novel SPEEK-PSI-Li binders could be attributed to their high cohesion capability, low solubility in electrolytes, high adaptability to volume fluctuation and high ionic conducting capability resulting from of the co-existence of flexible PEEK backbones, flexible fluorinated ether side chains, ionic transporting sulfonate groups, and pentadentate super ionic sulfonimide groups in the molecule structures. |
NeuroPep: a comprehensive resource of neuropeptides

Neuropeptides play a variety of roles in many physiological processes and serve as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of some nervous-system disorders. In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of identified neuropeptides. Therefore, we have developed NeuroPep, a comprehensive resource of neuropeptides, which holds 5949 non-redundant neuropeptide entries originating from 493 organisms belonging to 65 neuropeptide families. In NeuroPep, the number of neuropeptides in invertebrates and vertebrates is 3455 and 2406, respectively. It is currently the most complete neuropeptide database. We extracted entries deposited in UniProt, the database (www.neuropeptides.nl) and NeuroPedia, and used text mining methods to retrieve entries from the MEDLINE abstracts and full text articles. All the entries in NeuroPep have been manually checked. 2069 of the 5949 (35%) neuropeptide sequences were collected from the scientific literature. Moreover, NeuroPep contains detailed annotations for each entry, including source organisms, tissue specificity, families, names, post-translational modifications, 3D structures (if available) and literature references. Information derived from these peptide sequences such as amino acid compositions, iso-electric points, molecular weight and other physicochemical properties of peptides are also provided. A quick search feature allows users to search the database with keywords such as sequence, name, family, etc., and an advanced search page helps users to combine queries with logical operators like AND/OR. In addition, user-friendly web tools like browsing, sequence alignment and mapping are also integrated into the NeuroPep database. |
