Ripening of the model fruit tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is controlled by a transcription factor network including NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) domain proteins such as No-ripening (NOR), SlNAC1, SlNAC4, but very little known about targets or how they regulate ripening. Here, we conducted systematic search fruit-expressed genes showed that silencing NOR-like1 (Solyc07g063420) using virus-induced gene (VIGS) inhibited specific aspects initiation was delayed 14 days when function inactivated...
Abstract The tomato non-ripening (nor) mutant generates a truncated 186-amino-acid protein (NOR186) and has been demonstrated previously to be gain-of-function mutant. Here, we provide more evidence support this view answer the open question of whether NAC-NOR gene is important in fruit ripening. Overexpression nor did not restore full ripening phenotype. Further analysis showed that NOR186 located nucleus binds but does activate promoters 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase2...
Lysine crotonylation on histones is a recently identified post-translational modification that has been demonstrated to associate with active promoters and directly stimulate transcription. Given crotonyl-CoA essential for the acyl transfer reaction it metabolic intermediate widely localized within cell, we postulate lysine nonhistone proteins could also exist. Using specific antibody enrichment followed by high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis, hundreds of crotonylated residues....
Ethylene plays a critical regulatory role in climacteric fruit ripening, and its biosynthesis is fine-tuned at the transcriptional posttranslational levels. Nevertheless, mechanistic link between regulation of ethylene during ripening largely unknown. This study uncovers coordinated mechanism controlling banana (Musa acuminata) ripening. NAC (NAM, ATAF, CUC) proteins MaNAC1 MaNAC2 repress expression MaERF11, protein previously known to negatively regulate genes MaACS1 MaACO1. A RING E3...
Abstract Banana (Musa acuminata) fruits ripening at 30 °C or above fail to develop yellow peels; this phenomenon, called green ripening, greatly reduces their marketability. The regulatory mechanism underpinning high temperature-induced remains unknown. Here we decoded a transcriptional and post-translational module that causes in banana. showed reduced expression of 5 chlorophyll catabolic genes (CCGs), MaNYC1 (NONYELLOW COLORING 1), MaPPH (PHEOPHYTINASE), MaTIC55 (TRANSLOCON AT THE INNER...
Guavas are typical tropical fruit with high nutritional and commercial value. Because of their thin skin metabolic rate, guavas highly susceptible to water loss, physical damage, spoilage, severely limiting shelf-life. can typically only be stored for approximately one week at room temperature, making transportation, storage, handling difficult, resulting in low profit margins the industry. This review focuses on physiological biochemical changes molecular mechanisms which occur postharvest...
Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) has been reported to alleviate neuroinflammation. Here, we aimed determine the role of autophagy in α7nAChR-mediated inhibition neuroinflammation and its underlying mechanism. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice lipopolysaccharide-stimulated BV2 microglia were used as vivo vitro models neuroinflammation, respectively. The severity EAE was evaluated with neurological scoring. Autophagy-related proteins (Beclin 1, LC3-II/I,...
A developed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was employed to investigate changes of protein conformation, which played significant roles in maintaining stable networks white croaker surimi gel, exploring the relationship between conformation and gel networks. Spectra gels with different grades (A, AA, FA SA) were analyzed by tri-step FT-IR method peak-fitting deconvolved baseline corrected amide I bands (1600~1700 cm-1). The result showed that α-helix main proteins. During...
Ripening of fleshy fruits involves both diverse post-translational modifications (PTMs) and dynamic transcriptional reprogramming, but the interconnection between PTMs, such as protein phosphorylation regulation, in fruit ripening remains to be deciphered. Here, we conducted a phosphoproteomic analysis during banana (Musa acuminata) identified 63 unique phosphopeptides corresponding 49 proteins. Among them, Musa acuminata basic leucine zipper transcription factor21 (MabZIP21) displayed...
The ethylene insensitive 3/ethylene 3-like (EIN3/EIL) plays an indispensable role in fruit ripening. However, the regulatory mechanism that links post-translational modification of EIN3/EIL to ripening is largely unknown. Here, we studied expression 13 MaEIL genes during banana ripening, among which MaEIL9 displayed higher enhancement particularly stage. Consistent with its transcript pattern, abundance protein gradually increased process, maximal DNA affinity purification (DAP)-seq analysis...
Transcriptional regulation mechanisms underlying chilling injury (CI) development have been widely investigated in model plants and cold-sensitive fruits, such as banana (Musa acuminata). However, unlike the well-known NAC WRKY transcription factors (TFs), function deciphering mechanism of heat shock (HSFs) involving cold response are still fragmented. Here, we showed that hot water treatment (HWT) alleviated CI harvested fruits accomplishing with reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS)...
Banana fruit (Musa acuminate L.) ripening is a complex genetical process affected by multiple phytohormones and expression of various genes. However, whether plant hormone brassinosteroid (BR) involved in this remains obscure. In work, three genes that encode BR core signaling components brassinazole resistant (BZR) proteins, namely MaBZR1 to MaBZR3, were characterized from banana fruit. MaBZR1-MaBZR3 exhibited both nuclear cytoplasmic localization behaved as transcription inhibitors....
Sugar level is an important determinant of fruit taste and consumer preferences. However, upstream regulators that control sugar accumulation during maturation are poorly understood. In the present work, we found glucose main in mature pitaya (Hylocereus) fruit, followed by fructose sucrose. Expression levels two sucrose-hydrolyzing enzyme genes HpINV2 HpSuSy1 obviously increased maturation, which were correlated well with elevated fructose. A WRKY transcription factor HpWRKY3 was further...
Abstract The hormone ethylene is crucial in the regulation of ripening climacteric fruit, such as bananas. transcriptional biosynthesis throughout banana fruit has received much study, but cascaded machinery upstream regulators implicated pathway still poorly understood. Here we report that genes, including MaACS1, MaACO1, MaACO4, MaACO5, and MaACO8, were upregulated NAC (NAM, ATAF, CUC) transcription factor, MaNAC083, a ethylene-inhibited gene, was discovered potential binding protein to...
Banana fruit ripening is a highly regulatory process involving various layers consisting of transcriptional regulation, epigenetic factor, and post-translational modification. Previously, we reported that MaERF11 cooperated with MaHDA1 to precisely regulate the transcription ripening-associated genes via histone deacetylation. However, whether subjected modification during banana largely unknown. In this study, found targeted subset starch degradation-related using DNA affinity purification...

Abstract Banana (Musa acuminata) fruit ripening under high temperatures (>24 °C) undergoes green due to failure of chlorophyll degradation, which greatly reduces marketability. However, the mechanism underlying temperature-repressed catabolism in banana is not yet well understood. Here, using quantitative proteomic analysis, 375 differentially expressed proteins were identified normal yellow and banana. Among these, one key enzymes involved NON-YELLOW COLORING 1 (MaNYC1), exhibited...
