The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant with increased fitness is spreading rapidly worldwide. Analysis of cryo-EM structures the spike (S) from reveals amino acid substitutions forging interactions that stably maintain an active conformation for receptor recognition. relatively more compact domain organization confers improved stability and enhances attachment but compromises efficiency viral fusion step. Alterations in local conformation, charge, hydrophobic microenvironments underpin modulation...

Abstract Omicron (B.1.1.529), the most heavily mutated SARS-CoV-2 variant so far, is highly resistant to neutralizing antibodies, raising concerns about effectiveness of antibody therapies and vaccines 1,2 . Here we examined whether sera from individuals who received two or three doses inactivated vaccine could neutralize authentic Omicron. The seroconversion rates antibodies were 3.3% (2 out 60) 95% (57 for had 2 3 vaccine, respectively. For recipients doses, geometric mean neutralization...

Broad-spectrum resistance is highly preferred in crop breeding programmes. Previously, we have reported the identification of broad-spectrum resistance-Digu 1 (bsr-d1) allele from rice Digu. The bsr-d1 prevents activation Bsr-d1 expression by Magnaporthe oryzae infection and degradation H2 O2 peroxidases, leading to M. oryzae. However, it remains unknown whether defence pathways other than burst peroxidases contribute bsr-d1-mediated immunity. Blast was determined leaves spray punch...

Lodging is a common problem in rice, reducing its yield and mechanical harvesting efficiency. Rice architecture key aspect of domestication major factor that limits high productivity. The ideal rice culm structure, including major_axis_culm, minor axis_culm, wall thickness_culm, critical for improving lodging resistance. However, the traditional method measuring culms destructive, time consuming, labor intensive. In this study, we used high-throughput micro-CT-RGB imaging system deep...

Abstract New threats posed by the emerging circulating variants of SARS-CoV-2 highlight need to find conserved neutralizing epitopes for therapeutic antibodies and efficient vaccine design. Here, we identified a receptor-binding domain (RBD)-binding antibody, XG014, which potently neutralizes β-coronavirus lineage B (β-CoV-B), including SARS-CoV-2, its variants, SARS-CoV bat SARSr-CoV WIV1. Interestingly, antibody family members competing with XG014 binding show reduced levels...

Abstract Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a highly contagious coronavirus that causes severe and death, particularly in neonatal piglets. The nucleocapsid protein (N protein) of PEDV presents strong immunogenicity contributes to the cross-reactivity between TGEV. However, characterization epitopes on N remains largely unknown. Here, two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific strain, FJzz1/2011, were generated screened against partially overlapping library 24 GST-fusion...

Hypoxia and high glutathione (GSH) contents in the tumor microenvironment (TME) diminish efficacy of single-modality photodynamic therapy (PDT) chemodynamic (CDT). Cu2O can effectively release Cu+ within TME, facilitating CDT, concurrently generate O2 to mitigate hypoxia. Co-delivery with photosensitizers (PSs) tumors could potentially enhance PDT/CDT combination therapy. However, challenges such as instability, susceptibility vivo substances affecting catalytic activity, toxicity normal...

ABSTRACT E3 ubiquitin ligases are major components of the ubiquitination cascade and contribute to stomatal responses pathogen drought stress in plants. The F‐box SKP1‐Interacting Partners (AtSKIPs) proteins members SCF ligase complexes; however, whether they have any involvement movement remains unclear. Here, based on tissue expression profiling, we found that AtSKIP5 protein was highly expressed guard cells. Mutation rendered plants more susceptible Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst)...

Stomatal immunity and apoplastic are critical for preventing microbial phytopathogenesis. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms of these resistances remain unclear. In this study, a BBX11 transcription factor (TF) was identified in Arabidopsis found to participate stomatal apoplast immunity. Phenotypic, biochemical, genetic analyses revealed that NAC053 contributed resistance against Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000) by positively regulating BBX11. TF expressed...

Abstract Receptor usage that determines cell tropism and drives viral classification closely correlates with the virus structure. Enterovirus B (EV-B) consists of several subgroups according to receptor usage, among which echovirus 30 (E30), a leading causative agent for human aseptic meningitis, utilizes FcRn as an uncoating receptor. However, receptors many EVs remain unknown. Here we analyzed atomic structures E30 mature virion, empty- A-particles, reveals serotype-specific epitopes...

Abstract Echovirus 30 (E30), a serotype of Enterovirus B (EV-B), recently emerged as major causative agent aseptic meningitis worldwide. E30 is particularly devastating in the neonatal population and currently no vaccine or antiviral therapy available. Here we characterize two highly potent E30-specific monoclonal antibodies, 6C5 4B10, which efficiently block binding virus to its attachment receptor CD55 uncoating FcRn. Combinations 4B10 augment sum their individual anti-viral activities....
