Abstract Epigenomic modifications are instrumental for transcriptional regulation, but comprehensive reference epigenomes remain unexplored in rice. Here, we develop an enhanced chromatin immunoprecipitation (eChIP) approach plants, and generate genome-wide profiling of five histone RNA polymerase II occupancy with it. By integrating accessibility, DNA methylation, transcriptome datasets, construct epigenome landscapes across various tissues 20 representative rice varieties. Approximately...

Abstract Insight into high-resolution three-dimensional genome organization and its effect on transcription remains largely elusive in plants. Here, using a long-read ChIA-PET approach, we map H3K4me3- RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-associated promoter–promoter interactions H3K9me2-marked heterochromatin at nucleotide/gene resolution rice. The chromatin architecture is separated different independent spatial interacting modules with distinct transcriptional potential covers approximately 82% of...

Significance Notch is a critical regulator of skeletal development, but its role in remodeling the adult skeleton unclear. Using genetically modified mice, we show that stimulates mineralization by bone-building osteoblasts. Thus, overexpression intracellular domain mice results an increase bone mass, prevents loss following ovariectomy and during aging, promotes fracture healing. therefore potential therapeutic target for conditions loss, including osteoporosis.

Abstract Background The daily cycling of plant physiological processes is speculated to arise from the coordinated rhythms gene expression. However, dynamics diurnal 3D genome architecture and their potential functions underlying rhythmic expression remain unclear. Results Here, we reveal genome-wide occupancy RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), which precedes mRNA accumulation by approximately 2 h. Rhythmic RNAPII binding dynamically correlates with RNAPII-mediated chromatin remodeling at genomic...

Sulfonylurea (SU) herbicides inhibit branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) biosynthesis by targeting acetolactate synthase. Plants have evolved target-site resistance and metabolic tolerance to SU herbicides; the GCN2 (general control non-repressible 2) pathway is also involved in tolerance. Here, we report a novel mechanism, autophagy, which call 'homeostatic tolerance,' signaling Arabidopsis. The activation reversion of autophagy herbicide tribenuron-methyl (TM) exogenous BCAA, respectively,...

Des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) is a serum protein produced by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells in the absence of vitamin K. Serum and tissue DCP expressions are thought to reflect biological malignant potential HCC. Hence, we aimed examine efficacy K(2) on production as well tumor cell growth invasion.Cell viability were evaluated 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay.

Abstract Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the precursors of sperms and oocytes. Proper development PGCs is crucial for survival species. In many organisms, factors responsible PGC synthesized during early oogenesis assembled into plasm. During embryonic development, plasm inherited by a few cells, leading to formation PGCs. While germline has been extensively studied, how components regulate not fully understood. Here, we report that Dzip1 dynamically expressed in vertebrate novel component...
