Article Synopsis
- NPH3 is a crucial regulator for hypocotyl phototropism in response to blue light by mediating signals from phototropins phot1 and phot2.
- NPH3's release from the plasma membrane is influenced by its phosphorylation status, with modifications affecting its ability to function properly under high-intensity blue light.
- The study found that while NPH3 phosphorylation is vital for phot2 signaling, it is not necessary for phot1 signaling when NPH3 is artificially anchored to the plasma membrane at its N-terminus.
Article Synopsis
- Phototropins phot1 and phot2 are crucial for chloroplast movement, helping plants maximize photosynthesis and prevent damage from too much light.
- Phot1 mainly helps with chloroplast accumulation, while phot2 manages both avoidance and accumulation, particularly under high-intensity blue light (HBL).
- The study shows that the RPT2 gene plays a role in phot1's function during HBL; its expression increases under HBL and enhances chloroplast accumulation, indicating that RPT2 works alongside phot1 and the JAC1 protein to regulate chloroplast movement in response to light.
Aim: To investigate the protective effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) against HO-induced apoptosis in human ARPE-19 cells.
Methods: The lentiviral vector expressing HO-1 was prepared and transfected into apoptotic ARPE-19 cells induced by HO. Functional experiments including cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, flow cytometry (FCM) and mitochondrial membrane potential assay were conducted.

Objective: To compare the block characteristics of levobupivacaine and bupivacaine for hypobaric unilateral spinal block.
Methods: Sixty patients undergoing hypobaric unilateral spinal block for lower extremity operations were randomized into 2 equal groups. In one group the patients were asked to lie on the uncompromised side for slow injection of hypobaric bupivacaine solution (0.
