In addition to the resistance to Phytophthora infestans (Rpi) genes Rpi-blb1 and Rpi-blb2, Solanum bulbocastanum appears to harbor Rpi-blb3 located at a major late blight resistance locus on LG IV, which also harbors Rpi-abpt, R2, R2-like, and Rpi-mcd1 in other Solanum spp. Here, we report the cloning and functional analyses of four Rpi genes, using a map-based cloning approach, allele-mining strategy, Gateway technology, and transient complementation assays in Nicotiana benthamiana. Rpi-blb3, Rpi-abpt, R2, and R2-like contain all signature sequences characteristic of leucine zipper nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat (LZ-NBS-LRR) proteins, and share amino-acid sequences 34.9% similar to RPP13 from Arabidopsis thaliana. The LRR domains of all four Rpi proteins are highly homologous whereas LZ and NBS domains are more polymorphic, those of R2 being the most divergent. Clear blocks of sequence affiliation between the four functional resistance proteins and those encoded by additional Rpi-blb3 gene homologs suggest exchange of LZ, NBS, and LRR domains, underlining the modular nature of these proteins. All four Rpi genes recognize the recently identified RXLR effector PiAVR2.

Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins play crucial roles in immunity against pathogens in both animals and plants. In solanaceous plants, activation of several sensor NLRs triggers their helper NLRs, known as NLR-required for cell death (NRC), to form resistosome complexes to initiate immune responses. While the sensor NLRs and downstream NRC helpers display diverse genetic compatibility, molecular evolutionary events leading to the complex network architecture remained elusive.

Cell death resistance significantly contributes to poor therapeutic outcomes in various cancers. PANoptosis, a unique inflammatory programmed cell death (PCD) pathway activated by specific triggers and regulated by the PANoptosome, possesses key features of apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis, but these cannot be accounted for by any of the three PCD pathways alone. While existing studies on PANoptosis have predominantly centered on infectious and inflammatory diseases, its role in cancer malignancy has been understudied.

Previously, a novel Corynebacterium glutamicum strain for the de novo biosynthesis of tailored poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) has been constructed by our group. The strain was based on the γ-PGA synthetase complex, PgsBCA, which is the only polyprotein complex responsible for γ-PGA synthesis in Bacillus spp. In the present study, PgsBCA was reconstituted and overexpressed in C.

The model of intracellular metabolic network based on enzyme kinetics parameters plays an important role in understanding the intracellular metabolic process of , and constructing such a model requires a large number of enzymological parameters. In this work, the genes encoding the relevant enzymes of the EMP and HMP metabolic pathways from ATCC 13032 were cloned, and engineered strains for protein expression with BL21 and X33 as hosts were constructed. The twelve enzymes (GLK, GPI, TPI, GAPDH, PGK, PMGA, ENO, ZWF, RPI, RPE, TKT, and TAL) were successfully expressed and purified by Ni chelate affinity chromatography in their active forms.
