The UL16 protein of HSV-1 promotes the metabolism of cell mitochondria by binding to ANT2 protein.

Long-term studies have shown that virus infection affects the energy metabolism of host cells, which mainly affects the function of mitochondria and leads to the hydrolysis of ATP in host cells, but it is not clear how virus infection participates in mitochondrial energy metabolism in host cells. In our study, HUVEC cells were infected with HSV-1, and the differentially expressed genes were obtained by microarray analysis and data analysis. The viral gene encoding protein UL16 was identified to interact with host protein ANT2 by immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry.

Photoluminescence quenching of thermally treated waste-derived carbon dots for selective metal ion sensing.

In the present study, carbon-dots (CDs) were derived from the thermal oxidation of an agricultural waste, bitter tea residue, to obtain different sp/sp ratios and electronic structures for metal sensing. The CDs obtained from calcination at 700 °C exhibited the highest photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) of 11.8% among all the samples treated at different temperatures.

[Kinetic developmental genetics analysis of Hibiscus cannabinus plant height and stem diameter].

By using quantitative traits additive-dominance genetics model and developmental genetics model, this paper analyzed the developmental behaviors of gene expression for Hibiscus cannabinu plant height and stem diameter at its different growth stages. The results showed that at different growth stages, the unconditional and conditional genetics effects of plant height all showed dominance, while the additive effect was weak. No additive effect was found for stem diameter, but dominance effect was significant at each growth stage.
