The mechanistic role of a glycine-rich RNA-binding protein designated atRZ-1a that contributes to enhance cold tolerance in Arabidopsis was investigated. Overexpression of atRZ-1a did not affect the expression of various cold-responsive genes such as COR6.6, COR15a, COR47, RD29A, RD29B and LTI29. Proteome analyses revealed that overexpression of atRZ-1a modulated the expression of several stress-responsive genes, and the transcript levels and RNA stability of these target genes were not affected by atRZ-1a. atRZ-1a successfully complements the cold sensitivity of Escherichia coli lacking four cold shock proteins. These results strongly suggest that atRZ-1a plays a role as an RNA chaperone during the cold adaptation process.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a crucial phytohormone that regulates plant growth and stress responses. While substantial knowledge exists about transcriptional regulation, the molecular mechanisms underlying ABA-triggered translational regulation remain unclear. Recent advances in deep sequencing of ribosome footprints (Ribo-seq) enable the mapping and quantification of mRNA translation efficiency.

This study analyzed the changes in rice protein structure, protein profiling, and flavor profiles at different cooking stages, as well as their interrelationships. In the continuous cooking process, changes in protein structure characteristics were mainly reflected in the boiling and stewing stages. Protein unfolding and aggregation were important reasons for significant changes in protein structural characteristics.

Sorghum bicolor Glycine-rich RNA-binding protein (SbGRBP), exhibit the ability to bind both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. The expression of SbGRBP is regulated by heat stress, with the protein localizing to the nucleus and cytosol. The present study delves into the structure and ssDNA binding ability of its truncated version (SbGRBP1-119) which lacks glycine rich domain (GR).

AtGRP2 is a glycine-rich, RNA-binding protein that plays pivotal roles in abiotic stress response and flowering time regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana. AtGRP2 consists of an N-terminal cold shock domain (CSD) and two C-terminal CCHC-type zinc knuckles interspersed with glycine-rich regions. Here, we investigated the structure, dynamics, and nucleic acid-binding properties of AtGRP2-CSD.
