Serotyping forms the basis of national and international surveillance networks for Salmonella, one most prevalent foodborne pathogens worldwide (1-3). Public health microbiology is currently being transformed by whole-genome sequencing (WGS), which opens door to serotype determination using WGS data. SeqSero (www.denglab.info/SeqSero) a novel Web-based tool determining Salmonella serotypes high-throughput genome based on curated databases determinants (rfb gene cluster, fliC fljB alleles)...

Elucidating enzyme-substrate relationships in posttranslational modification (PTM) networks is crucial for understanding signal transduction pathways but technically difficult because interactions tend to be transient. Here, we demonstrate that TurboID-based proximity labeling (TbPL) effectively and specifically captures the substrates of kinases phosphatases. TbPL-mass spectrometry (TbPL-MS) identified over 400 proximal proteins Arabidopsis thaliana BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE2 (BIN2), a...

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, with each cascade consisting of a MAPK (MAPKKK), (MAPKK) and MAPK, have important roles in different biological processes. However, the signal transduction rice cascades remains to be elucidated. We show that structural non-canonical MAPKK, MPKK10.2, enhances resistance Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), which causes bacterial streak disease, increases tolerance drought stress by phosphorylating activating two MAPKs, MPK6 MPK3,...

O-GlcNAc modification plays important roles in metabolic regulation of cellular status. Two homologs transferase, SECRET AGENT (SEC) and SPINDLY (SPY), which have O-fucosyl transferase activities, respectively, are essential Arabidopsis but largely unknown targets. Here we show that AtACINUS is O-GlcNAcylated O-fucosylated mediates transcription, alternative splicing (AS), developmental transitions. Knocking-out both its distant paralog AtPININ causes severe growth defects including...

Brassinosteroid (BR) signaling leads to the nuclear accumulation of BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1 (BZR1) transcription factor, which plays dual roles in activating or repressing expression thousands genes. BZR1 represses gene by recruiting histone deacetylases, but how it activates BR-induced genes remains unclear. Here, we show that BR reshapes genome-wide chromatin accessibility landscape, increasing and reducing BR-repressed Arabidopsis. physically interacts with BRAHMA-associated SWI/SNF...

Abstract The interactions between the rumen microbiota and host are crucial for digestive absorptive processes of ruminants, they heavily influenced by climatic conditions their habitat. Owing to harsh high-altitude habitat, little is known about how ruminants regulate transcriptome composition microbiota. Using model species goats, we examined variations in microbiota, regulation, climate environment high altitude (Lhasa, Xizang; 3650 m) low (Chengdu, Sichuan, China; 500 goats. results 16 S...

The appearance quality of rice represent the primary concern consumers when choosing rice, as well a necessary condition for high-quality rice. In past, focus attention on was mainly chalkiness, and most previous reviews focused chalky phenotype while some more generalized chalkiness only indicator quality. This paper objectively analyses definitions interrelationships indicators at present stage. Then, formation mechanism research status were analyzed from three aspects: endosperm...

Soybean (Glycine max) is an important economic crop that provides abundant oil and high quality protein for human beings. As the process of reproductive growth directly determines seed yield quality, we initiated studies to identify genes regulate soybean floral organ development. One R2R3-MYB transcription factor gene, designated as GmMYB181, was found be enriched in flowers based on microarray analysis further functionally investigated transgenic Arabidopsis. GmMYB181 contains two MYB...

Sugar, light, and hormones are major signals regulating plant growth development, however, the interactions among these not fully understood at molecular level. Recent studies showed that sugar promotes hypocotyl elongation by activating brassinosteroid (BR) signaling pathway after shifting Arabidopsis seedlings from light to extended darkness. Here, we show inhibits BR in grown under light. induction of is inhibited increasing concentration sucrose. The inhibition response correlated with...
