The Russian part of the ex-Soviet scientific enterprise is facing its
economic crisis with fortitude. But these are only early days, and there is
worse to come.

| | Molecular dissection of the secretory pathway 409
A combination of biochemistry in animal cell-free systems and
genetics in yeast is revealing the molecular machinery of the secretory pathway
of eukaryotes. Transporting vesicles have a simple coat structure and employ a
general mechanism for fusion that is conserved in evolution.

| | Evidence from Southern Ocean sediments for the effect of North Atlantic deep-water flux on climate 416
The Southern Ocean is perhaps the only region where fluctuations in the
global influence of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) can be monitored
unambiguously in single deep-sea cores. A carbon isotope record from benthic
foraminifera in a Southern Ocean core reveals large and rapid changes in the
flux of NADW during the last deglaciation, and an abrupt increase in the NADW
production rate which immediately preceded large-scale melting of the Northern
Hemisphere ice sheets. This sudden strengthening of the NADW thermoha-line cell
provides strong evidence for the importance of NADW in glacial-interglacial
climate change.
