A rice XIP-type inhibitor was purified by affinity chromatography with an immobilized Aspergillus aculeatus family 10 endoxylanase. Rice XIP is a monomeric protein, with a molecular mass of ca. 32 kDa and a pI of ca. 5.6. Its N-terminal amino acid sequence was identical to that of a rice chitinase homologue, demonstrating the difficulty when using sequence information to differentiate between endoxylanase inhibitors and (putative) chitinases in rice. Rice XIP inhibited different endoxylanases to a varying degree. In particular, it most strongly inhibited family 10 endoxylanases from A. niger and A. oryzae, while several family 11 enzymes from Bacillus subtilis, A. niger and Trichoderma sp. were not sensitive to inhibition. The above mentioned A. aculeatus endoxylanase was not inhibited either, although gel permeation chromatography revealed that it complexed rice XIP in a 1:1 molar stoichiometric ratio.

Xylanase inhibitor proteins (XIP) are widely distributed in the plant kingdom, and also exist in rice. However, a systematic bioinformatics analysis of this gene family in rice (OsXIP) has not been conducted to date. In this study, we identified 32 members of the OsXIP gene family and analyzed their physicochemical properties, chromosomal localization, gene structure, protein structure, expression profiles, and interaction networks.

Aquaporins (AQPs) play a pivotal role in the cellular transport of water and many other small solutes, influencing many physiological and developmental processes in plants. In the present study, extensive bioinformatics analysis of AQPs was performed in L., a model species belonging to basal eudicots, with a particular focus on understanding the AQPs role in the developing petal nectar spur.

Article Synopsis
- Streptococcus mutans is a major bacteria responsible for dental caries and its Cid/Lrg system helps it handle environmental stresses, with mutations affecting its stress sensitivity and biofilm characteristics.
- The cidB mutant of S. mutans has two types: a rough phenotype that is more sensitive to oxidative stress and a smooth phenotype that shows significant changes in biofilm structure and competence.
- Genome resequencing revealed the smooth mutant has a large DNA loss, possibly linked to its altered biofilm and competence traits, highlighting the genetic factors influencing its pathogenic behavior.

Rice xylanase inhibitor (RIXI) is a XIP-type xylanase inhibitor protein that protects rice cells from pathogenic organisms. RIXI inhibits most microbial xylanases and thus decreases their practical application. The recombinant RIXI (rePRIXI) showed evident inhibitory activities against several family 11 endo-xylanases.

Aquaporins (AQPs) are associated with the transport of water and other small solutes across biological membranes. Genome-wide identification and characterization will pave the way for further insights into the AQPs' roles in the commercial carnation (). This study focuses on the analysis of AQPs in carnation (DcaAQPs) involved in flower opening processes.
