AXION COUPLINGS IN GRAND UNIFIED THEORIES

Axion couplings in grand unified theories

Abstract We show that the couplings of axions to gauge bosons are highly restricted in Grand Unified Theories where the standard model is embedded in a simple 4D gauge group.The topological nature of these couplings allows them to be matched from the UV to the IR, and the ratio of the anomaly with photons and gluons for any axion is fixed by Pancak

Function and regulation of ubiquitin-like SUMO system in heart

The small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMOylation) system is a conserved, reversible, post-translational protein modification pathway covalently attached to the lysine residues of proteins in eukaryotic cells, and SUMOylation is catalyzed by SUMO-specific activating enzyme (E1), binding enzyme (E2) and ligase (E3).Sentrin-specific proteases (SENPs)
