Abstract Polygalacturonase ( PG ), one of the hydrolases responsible for cell wall pectin degradation, is involved in organ consenescence and biotic stress plants. PG1 composed a catalytic subunit, PG2 , non‐catalytic β subunit. OsBURP16 belongs to ‐like subfamily BURP ‐family genes encodes putative subunit precursor rice O ryza sativa L .). Transcription induced by cold, salinity drought stresses, as well abscisic acid ABA ) treatment. Analysis plant survival rates, relative ion leakage...
Calcineurin B-like interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) play important roles via environmental stress. However, less is known how to sense the stress in molecular structure conformation level. Here, an OsCIPK7 mutant TILLING procedure with a point mutation kinase domain showed increased chilling tolerance, which could be potentially used breeding. We found that this of led conformational change activation loop domain, subsequently increase activity, thus conferred tolerance
O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation are two posttranslational modifications that antagonistically regulate protein function. However, the regulation of cross talk between these poorly understood in plants. Here we investigated role during vernalization, a process whereby prolonged cold exposure promotes flowering winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), analyzed dynamic profile O-GlcNAcylated phosphorylated proteins response to vernalization. Altering O-GlcNAc signaling by chemical inhibitors...
This commentary on Zeng et al. (2025, Cell) discusses the role of COOL1 in maize cold adaptation, highlighting its significance for high-latitude adaptation and potential molecular design breeding to enhance tolerance maize. In face accelerating global climate change, developing crops that can withstand extreme environmental conditions, such as temperatures at high latitudes, has become a critical challenge ensuring food security. addition, population increases, it is essential expand...
Bio-manufacturing via microbial cell factory requires large promoter library for fine-tuned metabolic engineering. Ogataea polymorpha, one of the methylotrophic yeasts, possesses advantages in broad substrate spectrum, thermal-tolerance, and capacity to achieve high-density fermentation. However, a limited number available promoters hinders engineering O. polymorpha bio-productions. Here, we systematically characterized native by both GFP fluorescence fatty alcohol biosynthesis. Ten...
Unusually low temperatures caused by global climate change adversely affect rice production. Sensing cold to trigger signal network is a key base for improvement of chilling tolerance trait. Here, we report that Oryza sativa Calreticulin 3 (OsCRT3) localized at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exhibits conformational changes under stress, thereby enhancing its interaction with CBL-interacting protein kinase 7 (OsCIPK7) sense cold. Phenotypic analyses OsCRT3 knock-out mutants and transgenic...
This work characterized a novel endotype xanthanase, MiXen, and elucidated that the C-terminal carbohydrate-binding module of MiXen could drastically enhance hydrolysis activity enzyme toward highly ordered xanthan. Both sequence structural analysis demonstrated catalytic domain belong to branch GH9 family CBMs, respectively. xanthan cleaver can help further reveal enzymolysis mechanism provide an efficient tool for production molecular modified with new physicochemical physiological functions.
Cyanobacterial taxonomic studies performed by using the modern approaches always lead to creation of many new genera and species. During field survey for cyanobacterial resources in China, a filamentous strain was successfully isolated from microbial mat attached rock surfaces Ganfu Channel, Jiangxi Province, China. This morphologically similar taxa belonging Microcoleus Phormidium. The phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this formed well-supported clade, close...
In contrast to obligate bacteria, facultative symbiotic bacteria are mainly characterized by genome enlargement. However, the underlying relationship of this feature with adaptations various habitats remains unclear. study, we used global data Nostoc strains, including 10 novel genomes sequenced in study and 26 available from public databases, analyzed their evolutionary history. The boundary real clade species was identified found be consistent results polyphasic taxonomy. initial ancestral...
Ischnochiton hakodaensis is one of Polyplacophora species, which plays an important role in the intertidal and subtidal ecosystems. In this study, complete mitochondrial genome I. was obtained with 15,139 bp length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal (rRNA) genes. The overall base composition 35.93% A, 13.51% G, 37.19% T, 13.38% C. phylogenetic tree show that hakodaensis, Acanthopleura brevispinosa, granulate, Liolophura japonica constituted a...
Abstract Mollusca is the largest marine phylum, comprising about 23% of all named organisms, systematics are still in flux, and an increase human activities has affected Molluscan reproduction development, strongly impacting diversity classification. Therefore, it necessary to explore mitochondrial genome Mollusca. The database (MODB) was established for Life Health Big Data Center Yantai University. This dedicated collecting, sorting sharing basic information regarding mollusks, especially...
Streptopelia orientalis is an important commercial species, and natural populations have declined dramatically in recent years because of the application traditional Chinese medicine. The effective conservation management S. been limited without sufficient molecular markers. In this study, we reported isolation characterization 89 SNP markers orientalis. minor allele frequency raged from 0.0417 to 0.4792. observed heterozygosity expected ranged 0.0000 0.9583 0.0816 0.5098, respectively....
Promoters are essential for designing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell factories. Identifying novel promoters tuned to produce specific metabolites under increasingly diverse industrial stresses is required improve the economic feasibility of whole fermentation processes. In this study, a positively evolved Suc2 promoter (SUC 2p) with activity stronger than that wild-type 2wtp) was obtained. Quantitative real-time PCR, fluorescence analysis, Western blotting, and β-galactosidase assay revealed...
