Signaling from pathogen sensing to effector activation is a fundamental principle of cellular immunity. While cyclic (oligo)nucleotides have emerged as key signaling molecules, the existence other messengers remains largely unexplored. Here, we reveal bacterial anti-phage system that mediates immune through nucleobase modification. Immunity triggered by phage nucleotide kinases, which, combined with system-encoded adenosine deaminase, produce deoxyinosine 5′-triphosphate (dITP) messengers....

We exploited the oxide shell structure to explore confinement effect on nickel silicide growth in one-dimensional nanowire template. The is similar contact (via hole) thin film system or nanodevices passivated by nitride film. Silicon nanowires direct with pads transform into two phases of silicides, Ni31Si12 and NiSi2, after one-step annealing at 550 °C. In a bare Si during process, NiSi2 grows initially through nanowire, followed transformation nickel-rich phase, starting from near pad....

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most toxic form of damage in cells. Homologous recombination (HR) is an error-free repair mechanism for DSBs as well a basis gene targeting using genome-editing techniques. Despite importance HR, HR plants poorly understood. Through genetic screens response mutants (DDRMs), we find that Arabidopsis ddrm2 mutant hypersensitive to DSB-inducing reagents. DDRM2 encodes protein with four BRCA1 C-terminal (BRCT) domains and highly conserved including...

Abstract Bovine embryo resorption is one of the key factors restricting reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle, which mainly occurs early stage maternal recognition pregnancy (MRP), causing substantial economic losses to industry. Macrophages, most numerous endometrial immune cells cows during pregnancy, are critical developing maternal-fetal tolerance. However, mechanism their action on interface remains unknown. MicroRNAs have important roles tolerance and macrophage polarization, but...

Mutations in the PIGV, PIGO, PIGL, PIGY, PGAP2, PGAP3, and PIGW genes have recently been reported to cause hyperphosphatasia accompanied by mental retardation syndrome (HPMRS); latter is an autosomal-recessive neurological disorder typically characterised recurrent seizures, intellectual disability, distinct facial features. Here, we report extremely rare case of a Chinese boy with compound heterozygous mutations who suffers from severe pneumonia, retardation, epilepsy. A 70-day-old...

Leuchten in wechselnden Farben: Die Expression eines Multigen-Fusionsprodukts aus dem Strukturgen des Apoproteins und den Genen für die Chromophor-Biosynthese endogenem Häm eröffnet einen neuen In-vivo-Zugang zu Biliproteinen. In E. coli wurden dauerhaft fluoreszierende sowie durch Rot-Grün-Belichtung reversibel schaltbare Biliproteine mit gut getrennten Absorptions- Fluoreszenzmaxima der beiden Zustände produziert (siehe Spektren). Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are...

In the current study, total content from two Apocynum species leaves (Apocynum venetum and hendersonii) collected Ili River Valley Region were extracted, their bioactivities investigated. The results showed a significant variation in flavonoid contents leaf samples at different periods (June, July, August, September), with highest August (60.11 ± 0.38 mg RE/g DW for A. 56.56 0.24 hendersonii), lowest June (22.36 0.05 20.79 0.02 hendersonii). was comparably higher than hendersonii. Leaves...

Summary Argonaute (Ago) proteins are widespread nucleic acid-guided enzymes that recognize targets through complementary base pairing. While in eukaryotes Agos involved RNA silencing, the functions of prokaryotic (pAgos) remain largely unknown. In particular, a clade truncated and catalytically inactive pAgos (short pAgos) lacks characterization. Here, we reveal short pAgo protein Sulfolobus islandicus , together with its two genetically associated proteins, Aga1 Aga2, provide robust...

Until now, no completely effective parasite-specific drugs or vaccines have been approved for the treatment of cryptosporidiosis. Through separation and identification sporozoite membrane protein Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum), 20 related proteins were obtained. Among them, a calmodulin-like (CML) has similar functional domain-exchange factor hand (EF-hand) motif as calmodulin (CaMs), so it may play similarly important role in invasion process. A 663 bp full gene encoding C. (CpCML) was...
