Significance Plasmodesmata (PD) create cytoplasmic and membrane continuities between adjacent cells to facilitate cell–cell communication virus movement. Plant have evolved diverse mechanisms regulate PD plasticity against plant pathogens, including the accumulation of defense hormone, salicylic acid (SA). However, mechanism how this occurs is not well understood. Here, we uncover a by which SA triggers Remorin-dependent lipid nanodomain assembly, leading enhancement liquid-ordered phase....

Abstract The intrinsically disordered region (IDR) is a preserved signature of phytobacterial type III effectors (T3Es). T3E IDR thought to mediate unfolding during translocation into the host cell and avoid defense by sequence diversification. Here, we demonstrate mechanism subversion via IDR. We report that Xanthomonas campestris XopR undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) multivalent IDR-mediated interactions hijack Arabidopsis actin cytoskeleton. gradually translocated cells...

Abstract The assembly of macromolecules on the plasma membrane concentrates cell surface biomolecules into nanometer- to micrometer-scale clusters (nano- or microdomains) that help initiate respond signals. In plant–microbe interactions, actin cytoskeleton undergoes rapid remodeling during pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). nanoclustering formin-actin nucleator proteins at has been identified as underlying nucleation plant innate immune responses. Here, we show...

microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, noncoding, small RNAs that have essential regulatory functions in plant growth, development, and stress response processes. However, limited information is available about their sexual reproduction of flowering plants. Pollen development an important process the life cycle a major factor affects yield quality crop seeds. This study aims to identify miRNAs involved pollen development. Two independent RNA libraries were constructed from flower buds male...

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a common clinical illness in postmenopausal women, but there no effective drug at present. Metabolomics approach was used to explore the potential biomarkers of PMOP and evaluate efficacy therapeutic targets total lignans stem Acanthophanax senticosus (ASSL) on ovariectomized model rats. UPLC/MS pattern recognition methods were for serum metabolites discovery illustrate pathological mechanism rats, then revealing intervention effect ASSL. The result...

To adapt to the diverse array of biotic and abiotic cues, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms sense changes in environmental conditions modulate their growth. Growth-promoting hormones defence signalling fine tune plant development antagonistically. During host-pathogen interactions, this defence-growth trade-off is mediated by counteractive effects hormone salicylic acid (SA) growth auxin. Here we revealed an underlying mechanism SA regulating auxin constraining plasma membrane...

Plants respond to bacterial infection acutely with actin remodeling during plant immune responses. The mechanisms by which virulence factors (VFs) modulate polymerization remain enigmatic. Here, we show that plant-type-I formin serves as the molecular sensor for in response two VFs: Xanthomonas campestris pv. (Xcc) diffusible signal factor (DSF), and pathogen-associated pattern (PAMP) flagellin pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). Both VFs regulate assembly tuning clustering nucleation activity...

Cell surface receptors' gradual assembly and oligomerization are vital for controlling receptor activation turnover. However, the spatiotemporal mechanisms of how interactions achieve high efficiency sustain plant immune signaling remain unclear. Here, we synthetically engineered Arabidopsis pattern recognition FLS2 to control its precisely. We investigated dynamic nanoscale assemblies at single-molecule level their corresponding rewired signaling. Engineered exhibits enhanced defense in an...

Malignant glioma is the most common type of cancer in central nervous system, with highly invasive characteristics. The Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK1) has been found to act as key regulator actin cytoskeleton reorganization, a process closely associated cell invasion. microRNA-145 (miRNA-145) recently shown suppressor several types tumor, including glioma. However, exact regulatory mechanism by which miR-145 inhibits still remains be uncovered. In this study, we report that level was...
