Abstract Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a highly conserved pathway essential for embryogenesis and tissue homeostasis. However, deregulation of this can initiate promote human malignancies, especially the colon head neck. Therefore, represents an attractive target cancer therapy. We performed high-throughput screening using AlphaScreen ELISA techniques to identify small molecules that disrupt critical interaction between β-catenin transcription factor TCF4 required signal transduction. found...

Subtropical evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) inhabit large areas of East Asia. Although paleovegetation reconstructions have revealed that the subtropical EBLFs existed in Southwest China during Miocene, historical construction these remains poorly known. Here, we used tea family (Theaceae), a characteristic component EBLFs, to gain new insights into assembly this important biome. Using robust phylogenetic framework Theaceae based on plastome and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence data,...

Mitophagy, the elimination of damaged mitochondria through autophagy, promotes neuronal survival in cerebral ischemia. Previous studies found deficient mitophagy ischemic neurons, but mechanisms are still largely unknown. We determined that BNIP3L/NIX, a receptor, was degraded by proteasomes, which led to deficiency both neurons and brains. BNIP3L exists as monomer homodimer mammalian cells, effects on unclear. Site-specific mutations transmembrane domain (S195A G203A) only formed failed...

Abstract Protein-RNA interaction plays important roles in post-transcriptional regulation. However, the task of predicting these interactions given a protein structure is difficult. Here we show that, by leveraging deep learning model NucleicNet, attributes such as binding preference RNA backbone constituents and different bases can be predicted from local physicochemical characteristics surface. On diverse set challenging RNA-binding proteins, including Fem-3-binding-factor 2, Argonaute 2...

Abstract The broad application of single-cell RNA profiling in plants has been hindered by the prerequisite protoplasting that requires digesting cell walls from different types plant tissues. Here, we present a protoplasting-free approach, flsnRNA-seq, for large-scale full-length at single-nucleus level using isolated nuclei. Combined with 10x Genomics and Nanopore long-read sequencing, validate robustness this approach Arabidopsis root cells developing endosperm. Sequencing results...

Here, we perform single-cell RNA-sequencing ATAC-sequencing on 42 39 human lines, respectively, to illustrate both transcriptomic epigenetic within individual lines. Our data reveal that is frequently observed in different tissue origins, often driven by multiple common transcriptional programs. Copy number variation, well...

Abstract Characterizing the complex composition of solid tumors is fundamental for understanding tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. While patient-derived samples provide valuable insight, they are heterogeneous on multiple molecular levels, often originate from advanced stages. Here, we use single-cell transcriptome epitope profiling together with pathway lineage analyses to study tumorigenesis a developmental perspective in mouse model salivary gland squamous cell carcinoma. We...

Abstract Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental cellular process frequently hijacked by cancer cells to promote tumor progression, especially metastasis. EMT orchestrated complex molecular network acting at different layers of gene regulation. In addition transcriptional regulation, posttranscriptional mechanisms may also play role in EMT. Here, we performed pooled CRISPR screen analyzing the influence 1,547 RNA-binding proteins on cell motility colon and identified...

Prognosis for patients with estrogen-receptor (ER)-negative basal breast cancer is poor, and chemotherapy currently the best therapeutic option. We have generated a compound-mutant mouse model combining activation of β-catenin HGF (Wnt-Met signaling), which produced rapidly growing mammary gland tumors. identified chemokine system CXCL12/CXCR4 as crucial driver Wnt-Met tumors, given that mice also deficient in CXCR4 gene were tumor resistant. expanded population cancer-propagating cells, two...

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an important epigenetic modification which plays various roles in mRNA metabolism and embryogenesis directly related to human diseases. To identify m6A a large scale, machine learning methods have been developed make predictions on sites. However, there are two main drawbacks of these methods. The first the inadequate imbalanced samples much less than non-m6A samples, by their balanced approaches. Second, features used not outstanding represent sequence...
