Cathepsin D (cathD) is traditionally regarded as a lysosomal protease that degrades substrates in acidic compartments.Here we report cathD plays an unconventional role as a cofilin phosphatase orchestrating actin remodeling.In neutral pH environments,the cathD precursor directly dephosphorylates and activates the actin-severing protein cofilin independent of its proteolytic activity,whereas mature cathD degrades coflin in acidic pH conditions.During development,cathD complements the canonical coflin phosphatase slingshot and regulates the morphogenesis of actin-based structures.Moreover,suppression of cathD phosphatase activity leads to defective actin organization and cytokinesis failure.Our findings identify cathD as a dual-function molecule,whose functional switch is regulated by environmental pH and its maturation state,and reveal a novel regulatory role of cathD in actin-based cellular processes.

马克思世界历史思想揭示了社会由封闭片面性的、分散独立性的存在,逐渐转变为相互依存性的一体化存在的整体化历史,包含着丰富的系统哲学思想.本文从系统哲学的角度剖析马克思世界历史思想的特征,有助于更好地理解并诠释马克思世界历史思想的理论特质,进而增强这一思想对世界新现象和新问题的科学解释力,助推世界历史变革.
拉兹洛通过双透视论构建他的系统哲学,但自然-认知系统的结构阐释偏向导致对纵向层次和外部条件的关注有所欠缺.引入层级演化和环境交互的思想有助于增强该理论的支撑力度,其中,层级演化以组织性为基本标准,通过自组和自稳机制演化出等级体系;环境交互则指与环境的物质、能量和信息的交互作用历史性地指向功能演化的不可逆过程.以上思想集中反映在双透视论对内部与外部区分的“界面”上,这与技术作为人工物所指向的主体客体化和客体主体化的辩证实践过程有异曲同工之妙,亦即技术的赛博本性.

恩格斯在《自然辩证法》中立足于近代自然科学的发展及对自然科学思维方法的反思和概括,以对形而上学和唯心主义的批判为切入点,构建起内含着自然观、历史观、认识论和辩证法于一体的系统思想体系,揭示了系统所具有的整体联系性、动态过程性和层次性等特征,为我们呈现出以系统方式存在的世界图景.恩格斯系统思想为辩证法的系统原理和自然科学的哲学方法奠定了基础,恩格斯也成为现代系统论和当代系统哲学的奠基者之一.
