REVIEW
----------------------
Towards a molecular understanding of shape selectivity pp671-678
The 'shape selectivity' of zeolites can be rationalized using a straightforward
thermodynamic analysis of how pore topology affects the free energies of formation
of the reactants, intermediates and products involved in the chemical transformations
for oil refining catalysed by the zeolite. It is shown that despite some drastic
simplifications, the approach can even guide the search for zeolite structures that
are particularly suitable for desired catalytic applications.

Slow dust in Enceladus' plume from condensation and wall collisions in tiger
stripe fractures pp685-688
A plume of water vapour and icy particles originates near the south pole of
Saturn's moon Enceladus, but the grains are moving more slowly than the vapour,
which has been difficult to understand. It is shown that repeated wall collisions
of grains, with re-acceleration by the gas, induce an effective friction, offering
a natural explanation for the reduced grain velocity. Particle speed and size
distributions that reproduce the observed and inferred properties of the dust
plume are derived.

Phase diagram of a two-component Fermi gas with resonant interactions pp689-693
A major controversy has surrounded the stability of superfluidity in spin-polarized
Fermi gas systems with resonant interactions when the 'up' and 'down' spin components
are imbalanced. This problem is explored for a Fermi gas of 6Li atoms, using tomographic
techniques to map out the superfluid phases as the temperature and density imbalance
are varied. Evidence is found for various types of phase transitions, enabling
quantitative tests of theoretical calculations on the stability of resonant
superfluidity.

Geological record of fluid flow and seismogenesis along an erosive subducting
plate boundary pp699-703
A fossil erosive subduction channel (the shear zone marking the plate boundary)
preserved in the Northern Apennines of Italy is identified. The fossil zone
records the presence of two decollements which seem to have been simultaneously
active at the top and base of the subduction channel. In modern subduction zones
the onset of seismic activity is believed to occur at ~150 deg C, however
in the fossil channel the onset seems to have occurred at colder temperatures.

Using phylogeny to reconstruct proteins inferred to have existed in the ancestry

reconstructed to show that life originated in a hot environment, and has tracked
the cooling of Earth through time.

Bacterial carbon processing by generalist species in the coastal ocean pp708
Experimental metagenomics is used to show that coastal communities are populated

concluded that metabolic generalists dominate coastal microbial communities, with
important implications for identifying taxon-function relationships for carbon cycle
relevant processes and the construction of predictive models of ocean biogeochemistry.

Loss of plant species after chronic low-level nitrogen deposition to prairie
grasslands pp712-715
The results of a multi-decadal experimental study of the environmental consequences
of chronic human-caused atmospheric nitrogen deposition are presented. Chronic
low-level nitrogen addition led to a gradual loss of plant species diversity, but
diversity recovered over the decade after cessation of nitrogen addition,
suggesting that some of the harmful effects of past deposition can be reversed
by reductions in the rate of deposition.

The coming acceleration of global population ageing pp716
This paper examines how fast our world's population is ageing using traditional
measures based on a fixed age boundary, but also using new concepts of age-a
fixed remaining life expectancy, for example, to reflect that today's 60 year old
is 'younger' than a 60-year-old from 1900 and has more years left to live. No matter
what way it is looked at, the world's population is ageing with increasing speed.

Rapid appearance and local toxicity of amyloid-Beta plaques in a mouse model of
Alzheimer/'s disease pp720-724
Senile plaques are thought to accumulate over the course of decades in brains of
Alzheimer's disease patients. In vivo mutiphoton microscopy is used to follow the
birth of such plaques in live Alzheimer's disease model mice. It is found that
plaques form extraordinarily quickly, over 24 hours. Within 1-2 days, the microglia
move in and noticeable neuritic changes ensue. These data argue that neuritic
dysfunction follows, rather than precedes, amyloid deposition.

TANK-binding kinase-1 delineates innate and adaptive immune responses to DNA
vaccines pp725-729
DNA vaccines induce adaptive immune responses mainly via induction of type-I
interferon. This paper shows that this occurs by a mechanism that is independent
of the activation of nucleic acid binding Toll-like receptors. B and CD4+ T cell
responses require activation of the TBK pathway in hematopoietic cells, whereas
TBK1 in non-hematopoietic cells is critical for the activation of CD8+ T cells.

Drosophila Pgc protein inhibits P-TEFb recruitment to chromatin in primordial
germ cells p730
The gene polar granule component (pgc) has been implicated in the global repression
of transcription that occurs in Drosophila germline progenitors and was thought
to act as a non coding RNA. This paper shows that pgc encodes a small protein that
represses transcription by preventing recruitment of the elongation factor P TEFb.

Cell cycle control of centromeric repeat transcription and heterochromatin
assembly p734
RNA polymerase II transcribes heterochromatic repeat sequences preferentially
during S phase of the cell cycle, a timing that is enforced by heterochromatin
restricting RNAPII access. Chromatin modifying enzymes and RNAi complexes
associated with RNAPII then assemble silenced chromatin which is maintained until
the next S phase.
