Structure of the human CLC-7/Ostm1 complex reveals a novel state

CLC-7 functions as a Cl?/H+ exchanger in lysosomes. Defects in CLC-7 and its β-subunit, Ostm1, result in osteopetrosis and neurodegeneration. Here, we present the cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the human CLC-7/Ostm1 complex (HsCLC-7/Ostm1) at a resolution of 3.6 ?. Our structure reveals a new state of the CLC-7/Ostm1 heterotetramer, in which the cytoplasmic domain of CLC-7 is absent, likely due to high flexibility. The disordered cytoplasmic domain is probably not able to restrain CLC-7 subunits and thus allow their relative movements. The movements result in an approximately half smaller interface between the CLC-7 transmembrane domains than that in a previously reported CLC-7/Ostm1 structure with a well-folded cytoplasmic domain. Key interactions involving multiple osteopetrosis-related residues are affected by the interface change.     

盾构隧道管片接缝密封垫防水耐久性试验研究

为研究盾构管片接缝橡胶密封垫的防水耐久性,开展了橡胶密封垫水热加速老化试验,并对老化后试样进行拉伸力学性能试验、试样表面电镜扫描与长期防水性能试验,分析了橡胶垫表面微观尺度下的防水失效机理;采用橡胶密封垫极限防水压力为耐久性评价指标,结合基于Arrhenius方程的p-T-t数学模型,推导了橡胶密封垫长期防水性能折减系数的预测公式。结果表明：老化后橡胶密封垫表面接触状况的恶化和橡胶材料的硬化,加速了橡胶密封垫接触面间渗漏通道的形成;橡胶密封垫防水性能随着老化时间的增加不断降低,但下降速度逐渐减小。采用提出的防水性能预测公式对广东榕江-关埠引水工程盾构隧洞实际使用的橡胶密封垫的耐久性进行了预测,预测服役100 a后的老化系数为0.390,结果相对于仅考虑橡胶材料力学性能时的预测结果偏小12.36%,对原设计使用期内频繁出现的渗漏现象提供了合理解释与更准确的寿命预测。     

纤维编织网增强ECC夹心保温复合墙板抗弯性能

目前,夹心保温墙板已经被广泛使用在建筑保温结构中,但是墙板的饰面层通常采用普通混凝土,使得内部保温材料极易因外饰面开裂脱落而受到腐蚀.因此,选用纤维编织网增强工程水泥基复合材料（Engineered Cementitious Composites,ECC）作为饰面层,通过四点弯曲试验研究夹心保温复合墙板的抗弯性能,影响因素包括保温材料类型、保温层厚度、面层厚度、纤维编织网处理方式、有无连接件和连接件角度.结果表明：增大保温层厚度对墙板抗弯承载力和延性的影响不大,但能够提高墙板的组合程度;发泡聚苯乙烯（Expanded Polystyrene,EPS）保温板与ECC基体的黏结性能更好,墙板的组合程度也更高,但EPS自身的受力性能和刚度较差,使得墙板的承载能力较低;纤维编织网经过浸渍和浸胶黏砂处理会降低墙板的承载能力,但浸胶黏砂处理能提高ECC基体与纤维编织网的黏结从而改善墙板的延性;连接件的存在能够提高墙板的组合性能,并且减小连接件角度或者增大面板厚度有助于提升墙板的抗弯刚度、承载能力和组合性能,但会导致墙板的延性下降.最后,推导了纤维编织网增强ECC（Textile Reinforced ECC,TRE）夹心保温墙板抗弯承载力计算公式,并将计算结果与试验结果进行对比,结果表明提出的计算方法具有一定的可行性.
