Abstract Kinetochores are instrumental for accurate chromosome segregation by binding to microtubules in order to move chromosomes and by delaying anaphase onset through the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). Dynamic phosphorylation of kinetochore components is key to control these activities and is tightly regulated by temporal and spatial recruitment of kinases and phosphoprotein phosphatases (PPPs). Here we focus on PP1, PP2A-B56 and PP2A-B55, three PPPs that are important regulators of mitosis. Despite the fact that these PPPs share a very similar active site, they target unique ser/thr phosphorylation sites to control kinetochore function. Specificity is in part achieved by PPPs binding to short linear motifs (SLiMs) that guide their substrate specificity. SLiMs bind to conserved pockets on PPPs and are degenerate in nature, giving rise to a range of binding affinities. These SLiMs control the assembly of numerous substrate specifying complexes and their position and binding strength allow PPPs to target specific phosphorylation sites. In addition, the activity of PPPs is regulated by mitotic kinases and inhibitors, either directly at the activity level or through affecting PPP–SLiM interactions. Here, we discuss recent progress in understanding the regulation of PPP specificity and activity and how this controls kinetochore biology.

Adherence to lifestyle changes - beginning to exercise, for example - is assumed to be mediated by self-referent thoughts. This paper describes a pilot study and three studies conducted to develop and validate a questionnaire for adults to determine their self-perceptions related to health-oriented exercise. The pilot study identified items pertinent to the domains considered important in this context, and began the process of selecting items. Study 2 examined the factor structure, reduced the number of items, determined the internal consistency of the factors, and explored the discriminative validity of the questionnaire as to physical activity level and gender. Four factors with a total of 24 items were accepted, measuring mastery of exercise, body perception, social comfort/discomfort in the exercise setting, and perception of fitness. All subscales had acceptable internal consistencies. Preliminary validity was demonstrated by confirming hypothesized differences in scores as to gender, age, and physical activity level. The third study examined and demonstrated convergent validity with similar existing subscales. The fourth study examined an English-language version of the questionnaire, confirming the existence of the factors and providing preliminary psychometric evidence of the viability of the questionnaire.

Diabetes mellitus is often accompanied to schizophrenia patient. This condition probably related to genetic, antipsychotic drugs and the development of schizophrenia that can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle, such as sedentary lifestyle and the increased of dietary intake. Cross-sectional study was held in Psychiatry Department Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital during May to June 2014 to determine the correlation between fasting plasma glucose concentration in schizophrenia patient to their nutritional status indicator and physical activity level. Forty-seven subjects finished the study protocol. The result showed that the fasting plasma glucose concentration in schizophrenia patient has no correlation with nutritional status indicator and physical activity level, in which 91.5% subject had normal fasting plasma glucose. However, there is a need for further investigation because 31.9% subject was overweight, 48.9% subject was obesity and 74.5% subject had central obesity.

In the production of alcohol in the preparation of grain raw materials for fermentation, the main role is given to enzyme preparations of amylolytic action, which are key enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of starch. Amylolytic enzyme preparations with a different composition of enzymes and their level of activity, a mechanism of biocatalytic effect on starch, and a range of thermal and pH optimum are widely represented on the Russian market. The development of optimal conditions for the preparation of grain wort, the rational selection and dosage of concentrated enzyme preparations, the properties of which correspond to the parameters of the technological process, will ensure the effective preparation of starch for fermentation, and increase the profitability of alcohol production. The aim of this work was to study the influence of enzyme preparations of amylolytic action and the conditions of their use on the efficiency of the process of alcoholic fermentation and the yield of the final product, ethanol. The effect of various dosages of enzyme preparations of glucoamylase action, with a different ratio of the main enzyme glucoamylase and minor enzyme α-amylase, as well as methods for preparing wheat wort on the process of alcoholic fermentation, was studied. It was found that the enzyme preparation, the source of glucoamylase, in which α-amylase was present in a ratio of 15: 1 (in terms of activity level), turned out to be more effective in fermenting prepared wheat wort: its optimal dosage was 8 units. GLS / g starch. The presence of a sufficient amount of α-amylase in this preparation compensated for the dosage of thermostable α-amylase. The alcohol concentration in the mash was 10.2% vol., The alcohol yield was 67.9 cm3 / 100 g of starch. When glucoamylase with a lower ratio of the main and minor enzyme (75: 1) was used at the saccharification stage, an increase in the wort fermentation depth was observed with an increase in the concentration of glucoamylase to 9-10 units of GLS / g and α-amylase to 0.5 units. AC / g. It was also found that an increase in the duration of enzymatic-hydrolytic preparation of the wort had a positive effect on the fermentation process, the alcohol concentration in the mash increased to 10.2 vol.%. It was shown that the introduction of proteases into the wort helps to reduce the viscosity of grain wort, enriching it with assimilable yeast amino acids, which leads to an increase in the yield of alcohol. It has been confirmed that the synergy of the action of enzymes of amylolytic and proteolytic effects on polymers of grain raw materials allows to increase the efficiency of their conversion to ethanol. The conditions of enzymatic-hydrolytic processing of grain raw materials for fermentation are developed. The use of the digestion stage did not significantly affect the fermentation results of wheat wort.
