Background and AimsPurple acid phosphatases (PAPs) are members of the metallo-phosphoesterase family have been known to play important roles in phosphorus (P) acquisition recycling plants. Low P availability is a major constraint growth production soybean, Glycine max. Comparative studies on structure, transcription regulation responses phosphate (Pi) deprivation soybean PAP gene should facilitate further insights into potential physiological GmPAPs.
Abstract Grain filling in maize (Zea mays) is regulated by a group of spatiotemporally synchronized transcription factors (TFs), but the that coordinate their expression remain unknown. We used promoter grain filling-specific TF gene Opaque2 (O2) to screen upstream regulatory and identified B3 domain TF, ZmABI19, directly binds O2 for transactivation. zmabi19 mutants displayed developmental defects endosperm embryo, mature kernels were opaque reduced size. The accumulation zeins, starch...
Opaque2 (O2) functions as a central regulator of the synthesis starch and storage proteins O2 gene is transcriptionally regulated by hub coordinator seed development grain filling, ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 19 (ZmABI19), in maize (Zea mays). Here, we identified second coordinator, basic Leucine Zipper 29 (ZmbZIP29) that interacts with ZmABI19 to regulate expression. Like zmabi19, zmbzip29 mutations resulted dramatic decrease transcript protein levels thus significant reduction proteins....
Abstract Maize kernels are complex biological systems composed of three genetic sources, namely maternal tissues, progeny embryos, and endosperms. The lack gene expression profiles with spatial information has limited the understanding specific functions each cell population, hindered exploration superior genes in kernels. In our study, we conduct microscopic sectioning transcriptomics analysis during grain filling stage maize This enables us to visualize patterns all through electronical...
The coupling of axon guidance cues, such as netrin-1, to microtubule (MT) dynamics is essential for growth cone navigation in the developing nervous system. However, whether signaling regulates MT directly or indirectly unclear. Here, we report that TUBB3, most dynamic β–tubulin isoform neurons, interacts with netrin receptor DCC, and netrin-1 induces this interaction primary neurons. TUBB3 colocalizes DCC cones neurons required netrin-1-promoted association DCC. Netrin-1 not only increases...
Two new indole alkaloids chaetocochin J (1) and chaetoglobinol A (8), along with chetomin (2), chetoseminudin (3), cochliodinol (9), semicochliodinol (10), were isolated from the rice culture of fungus Chaetomium globosum. Their structures elucidated by spectral analysis. Three epipolythiodioxopiperazines, chaetocochins G–I (5–7), identified combination UPLC mass spectrometric Chaetocochin I contained two sulfur bridges, one formed three atoms between C-3 C-11a, other four C-3′ C-6′. was...
Plant A/T-rich sequence- and zinc-binding protein (PLATZ) is a type of plant-specific zinc-dependent DNA-binding that binds to DNA sequences. This family essential for plant growth, development, stress response. In this study, 15 OsPLATZs were identified in the rice genome with complete PLATZ-conserved domains by CD-search, similar those found angiosperms. Multi-species phylogenetic analysis showed PLATZs conserved photosynthetic organisms, an evolutionary branch unique angiosperms was among...
Steroidal saponins in Paris polyphylla featuring complicated sugar chains exhibit notable biological activities, but the chain biosynthesis is still not fully understood. Here, we identified a 4'-O-rhamnosyltransferase (UGT73DY2) from P. polyphylla, which catalyzes 4'-O-rhamnosylation of polyphyllins V and VI, producing dioscin pennogenin 3-O-β-chacotrioside, respectively. UGT73DY2 exhibits strict substrate specificity towards steroidal diglycosides UDP-Rha, new triglycoside was synthesized...
Antigen-specific immunotherapy shows potential for inducing long-term immune tolerance in type 1 diabetes (T1D), yet its clinical application is hampered by uncertainty regarding dominant epitopes. Conversely, non-antigen-specific treatments such as anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) present a more straightforward approach but struggle to maintain after treatment. Addressing these issues critical advancing T1D therapies. The phenotypic and metabolic properties of two subsets exhausted...
Four new sesterterpenoids, terretonins A-D (1-4), and a alkaloid, asterrelenin (5), together with five known compounds, were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of solid-state fermented culture Aspergillus terreus. Their structures elucidated on basis spectroscopic analysis. The 1, 2, 5 confirmed by X-ray crystallographic
A range of leaf symptoms, including blotchy mottle, yellowing, and small, upright leaves with a variety chlorotic patterns resembling those induced by zinc deficiencies, are associated huanglongbing (HLB, yellow shoot disease), worldwide destructive citrus disease. HLB is presumably caused the phloem-limited fastidious prokaryotic α-proteobacterium 'Candidatus Liberibacter spp.' Previous studies focused on proteome transcriptome analyses 5 to 35 weeks after 'Ca. L. inoculation. In this...
Modulation of microtubule (MT) dynamics is a key event cytoskeleton remodeling in the growth cone (GC) during axon outgrowth and pathfinding. Our previous studies have shown that direct interaction netrin receptor DCC DSCAM with polymerized TUBB3, neuron-specific MT subunit brain, required for netrin-1-mediated outgrowth, branching, attraction. Here, we show uncoupling TUBB3 netrin-1-repulsive UNC5C involved axonal repulsion. directly interacted partially colocalized peripheral area GC...

Biological evaluation showed that 1, 5, 6, inhibited production nitric oxide (NO) RAW 264.7 cells stimulated lipopolysaccharide with IC50 values 15.29, 9.34, 9.50, 7.05 μM, respectively. Meanwhile, they did not...
