Abstract
We studied the interactions between the stellar wind plasma flow of a typical M star, such as GJ 436, and the hydrogen-rich upper atmosphere of an Earth-like planet and a "super-Earth" with a radius of 2 R(Earth) and a mass of 10 M(Earth), located within the habitable zone at ∼0.24 AU. We investigated the formation of extended atomic hydrogen coronae under the influences of the stellar XUV flux (soft X-rays and EUV), stellar wind density and velocity, shape of a planetary obstacle (e.g., magnetosphere, ionopause), and the loss of planetary pickup ions on the evolution of hydrogen-dominated upper atmospheres. Stellar XUV fluxes that are 1, 10, 50, and 100 times higher compared to that of the present-day Sun were considered, and the formation of high-energy neutral hydrogen clouds around the planets due to the charge-exchange reaction under various stellar conditions was modeled. Charge-exchange between stellar wind protons with planetary hydrogen atoms, and photoionization, lead to the production of initially cold ions of planetary origin. We found that the ion production rates for the studied planets can vary over a wide range, from ∼1.0×10²⁵ s⁻¹ to ∼5.3×10³⁰ s⁻¹, depending on the stellar wind conditions and the assumed XUV exposure of the upper atmosphere. Our findings indicate that most likely the majority of these planetary ions are picked up by the stellar wind and lost from the planet. Finally, we estimated the long-time nonthermal ion pickup escape for the studied planets and compared them with the thermal escape. According to our estimates, nonthermal escape of picked-up ionized hydrogen atoms over a planet's lifetime within the habitable zone of an M dwarf varies between ∼0.4 Earth ocean equivalent amounts of hydrogen (EO(H)) to <3 EO(H) and usually is several times smaller in comparison to the thermal atmospheric escape rates.

Abstract
During the years 2000-2011 the radio instruments onboard Cassini, Wind and STEREO spacecraft have recorded a large amount of the Jovian decametric radio emission (DAM). In this paper we report on the analysis of the new type of Jovian periodic radio bursts recently revealed in the decametric frequency range. These bursts, which are non-Io component of DAM, are characterized by a strong periodic reoccurrence over several Jovian days with a period [Formula: see text] longer than the rotation rate of the planet's magnetosphere (System III). The bursts are typically observed between 4 and 12 MHz and their occurrence probability has been found to be significantly higher in the sector of Jovian Central Meridian Longitude between 300° and 60° (via 360°). The stereoscopic multispacecraft observations have shown that the radio sources of the periodic bursts radiate in a non-axisymmetric hollow cone-like pattern and sub-corotate with Jupiter remaining active during several planet's rotations. The occurrence of the periodic non-Io DAM bursts is strongly correlated with pulses of the solar wind ram pressure at Jupiter. Moreover the periodic bursts exhibit a tendency to occur in groups every [Formula: see text] days. The polarization measurements have shown that the periodic bursts are right hand polarized radio emission associated with the Northern magnetic hemisphere of Jupiter. We suggest that periodic non-Io DAM bursts may be connected with the interchange instability in Io plasma torus triggered by the solar wind.

Abstract
Recent evidence from genetic experiments in yeast and from studies using guanosine triphosphate (GTP) analogues in mammalian cells suggests a key role for low-molecular-mass GTP-binding proteins (LMM-GBPs) (Mr 19 to 28 kD) in processes of intracellular vesicular sorting and secretion. Assembly and exocytosis of the lamellar body (LB), the secretory organelle of the pulmonary alveolar type 2 pneumocyte, may be regulated by LMM-GBPs. We used [alpha-32P]GTP binding to Western blotted proteins, ultraviolet crosslinking of [alpha-32P]GTP to membrane proteins, immunoblotting with specific antisera, and botulinum exoenzyme C3-catalyzed ADP ribosylation to detect LMM-GBPs in LB. With the first two techniques, we have identified six LMM-GBPs of approximately 27, 25.5, 24.5, 23, 22, and 21 kD that are enriched in a highly purified LB fraction compared with type 2 pneumocyte homogenate, crude membranes, and cytosol. Further characterization of the LB LMM-GBPs by immunoblotting revealed that ras p21 is greatly enriched in the LB fraction compared with other type 2 pneumocyte fractions. In addition, botulinum exoenzyme C3 catalyzed the ADP ribosylation of 20- to 21-kD proteins that were similarly enriched in the LB fraction. In contrast, a monospecific antibody to ADP-ribosylation factor reacted with a 19-kD protein only in the type 2 pneumocyte homogenate and cytosol fractions. Monospecific antibodies to yeast Sec4 protein and to rab 3A did not react with any type 2 pneumocyte proteins. The LMM-GBPs specifically associated with LB may participate in intracellular events required for surfactant packaging and secretion.
