During a large-scale screen of a human fetal brain cDNA library, a full-length cDNA encoding a novel Rap2 interacting protein was isolated and sequenced. The cDNA is 3397bp long and has a predicted open reading frame encoding a protein of 329 aa. The predicted protein shows high homology to mouse and human RPIP8, and has a RUN domain near its C-terminus. The gene was mapped to human chromosome 7q21-7q22 and has 9 exons and 8 introns. The expression pattern was also detected by cycle-limited reverse polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Induction of cell fates by growth factors impacts many facets of developmental biology and disease. LIN-3/EGF induces the equipotent vulval precursor cells (VPCs) in to assume the 3˚-3˚-2˚-1˚-2˚-3˚ pattern of cell fates. 1˚ and 2˚ cells become specialized epithelia and undergo stereotyped series of cell divisions to form the vulva.

In an era characterized by rapidly changing and less-predictable weather conditions fueled by the climate crisis, understanding the mechanisms underlying local adaptation in plants is of paramount importance for the conservation of species. As the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events increase, so are the flooding events resulting from soil water saturation. The subsequent onset of hypoxic stress is one of the leading causes of crop damage and yield loss.

The elimination of pesticides from polluted water is critical due to their harmful environmental and biological impacts. Recently, there has been interest in utilizing natural polymer-based adsorbents as an eco-friendly approach to eliminate or reduce the levels of water pollutants. In this work, we synthesized an antimicrobial and magnetic bionanocomposite consisting of carboxymethyl gond katira-grafted- poly(3-aminobenzoic acid) with iron oxide and zinc oxide NPs (CMT-g-P3ABA/ZnO/FeO) through an in situ polymerization reaction and examined for its ability to adsorb the pesticide acetamiprid (AP).

ACYL-CoA-BINDING PROTEINs (ACBPs) play crucial regulatory roles during plant response to hypoxia, but their molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Our study reveals that ACBP4 serves as a positive regulator of the plant hypoxia response by interacting with WRKY70, influencing its nucleocytoplasmic shuttling in Arabidopsis thaliana. Furthermore, we demonstrate the direct binding of WRKY70 to the ACBP4 promoter, resulting in its upregulation and suggesting a positive feedback loop.
