The E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP (C-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein) is believed to be a central player in the cellular triage decision, as it links molecular chaperones Hsp70/Hsc70 and Hsp90 proteasomal degradation pathway. To better understand decision process, we determined affinity for Hsp70 using isothermal titration calorimetry. We analyzed influence on ATPase cycles both presence co-chaperones substrate, ubiquitination efficacy chaperones. found that has sixfold higher compared with...
It has already been proven that trees and shrubs, can efficiently remove particulate matter (PM) from air. However, almost nothing is known about PM accumulation by herbaceous plants (grasses forbs) found in urban meadows. Meadows, unlike be located close to roads, one of the main sources cites. The aim this study was investigate tolerance condition immediate roads vicinity selected species annual perennial meadows compared with lawns. Results were interpreted context composition, biomass...
The dimeric E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP binds with its tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain the C-terminus of molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90 U-box region E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. By ubiquitinating chaperone-bound polypeptides, thus links chaperone machinery to proteasomal degradation pathway. mechanism how discriminates between folding destruction substrates is not yet understood. Two recently published crystal structures mouse zebrafish truncation constructs differ...
In urban areas, particulate matter (PM) represents an increasing threat to human health. The ability of plants in parks and along roads cities accumulate PM has already been demonstrated, but nothing is known about the effect wasteland vegetation on air quality, despite a significant proportion greenery polluted areas being wastelands. aim this study was document accumulation trace elements (TE) by species (Robinia pseudoacacia L., Populus × canescens (Aiton) Sm., Acer negundo Solidago...
This study evaluates for the first time whether 33 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants originating from a moderate climate continue to be capable air filtration particulate matter (PM) at end growing season. Research was undertaken in November two urban meadows located trafficked areas Białystok (Poland). The reveals that despite lateness season, tested remained PM accumulation. Deposition total exceeding 100 μg·cm−2 found on S. vulgaris, latifolia, T. pratense, E. vulgare, A....
The expansion of weed species is a major problem in agriculture, especially when the number herbicide‐resistant biotypes rising continuously. ecological questions associated with evolution herbicide resistance involve an intricate understanding interplay between gene frequency, fitness, inheritance and flow. In this study, RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) technique, which facilitates detection variability at DNA level, was used to examine spread Solanum nigrum L. populations....
Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus L.), one of the main weeds found among winter crops in Poland, has developed herbicide resistance (HR) to acetolactate synthase (ALS) herbicides, a finding first reported 2006, and recent years, farmers have been complaining about inadequate chemical control this weed. This study aimed characterise current state cornflower HR ALS inhibitors synthetic auxins Poland agricultural practices fields with herbicide-resistant populations. From 2017 2020, 159 seed samples...
Abstract Molecular chaperones are key components in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and survival, not only during stress but also under optimal growth conditions. Among ATP-dependent chaperones, heat shock proteins (Hsp90) play a special role. While Hsp90s can interact with unfolded misfolded proteins, their main (and eukaryotic cells essential) function appears to involve interactions limited number protein clients at late steps maturation or “alter-native” conformations for...
Herbicide resistance in weeds, including corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.), is an increasing problem compromising global crop production. The aims of this study were to evaluate the susceptibility P. populations Poland acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors and elucidate their mechanisms resistance. Between 2017 2020, 157 seed samples collected nationwide a dose-response with various ALS-inhibiting herbicides was performed glasshouses. This revealed 14 resistant R/S ranges 2.3–1450.2, 9.5–398.5...
Abstract Scab and powdery mildew, caused by Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint. Podosphaera leucotricha (Ellis et Ev.) Salm. are the most important apple diseases. The clone U 211 is resistant to scab also highly mildew under field conditions. interval mapping method was applied for identification of genomic regions conferring resistance mildew. genetic maps ‘Idared’ genome sectors were constructed using amplified fragment lenght polymorphism simple sequence repeat markers 98 individuals from...
Centaurea cyanus L. is a common field weed in Eastern Europe but only Poland biotypes of this species with resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors have been confirmed. This phenomenon constantly developing and spreading consecutive regions Poland. study aimed assess the response selected Polish C. populations tribenuron-methyl analyse genetic variability ALS gene resistant inhibitors. Between 2017 2021, 13 seed samples were collected from eastern dose-response was performed....
Abstract Three populations of silky bent grass ( Apera spica-venti L.) were tested – one that is susceptible and two are resistant to sulfonylureas. This study assessed the efficacy control by different herbicides in a pot experiment estimated molecular status resistance sulfonylureas analysed its effect on chemical treatments. The three most effective herbicide rotation schemes were: 1) chlorsulfuron + isoproturon, ethametsulfuron metazachlor quinmerac, isoproturon; 2) prosulfocarb...
The number of herbicide-resistant populations black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.) in winter cereal crops Europe is increasing, leading to serious restrictions production.The aim this study was evaluate the reaction five A. populations: four suspected as being and one susceptible mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron-based herbicide (acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor).Mutation events domains A B als gene, relationship between resistance iodosulfuron plant fitness early vegetative stage were...
Resistance of blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.) and silky bentgrass (Apera spica-venti (L.) P. Beauv.) to ACCase inhibitors is a serious issue in winter cereals throughout Europe, especially as hormesis induced by herbicides has been observed some populations. According the literature, growth-stimulating herbicide rates are on rise. The aim this study was assess responses A. spica-venti, which potentially resistant inhibitors, fenoxaprop-P-ethyl pinoxaden applied at up 8 times...
