Systems biology analysis of protein modules is important for understanding the functional relationships between proteins in the interactome. Here, we present a comprehensive database named AIM for Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) interactome modules. The database contains almost 250,000 modules that were generated using multiple analysis methods and integration of microarray expression data. All the modules in AIM are well annotated using multiple gene function knowledge databases. AIM provides a user-friendly interface for different types of searches and offers a powerful graphical viewer for displaying module networks linked to the enrichment annotation terms. Both interactive Venn diagram and power graph viewer are integrated into the database for easy comparison of modules. In addition, predicted interologs from other plant species (homologous proteins from different species that share a conserved interaction module) are available for each Arabidopsis module. AIM is a powerful systems biology platform for obtaining valuable insights into the function of proteins in Arabidopsis and other plants using the modules of the Arabidopsis interactome.

Eukaryotic transcriptomes are remarkably complex, encompassing not only protein-coding RNAs but also an expanding repertoire of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). In plants, ncRNA-ncRNA interactions (NNIs) have emerged as pivotal regulators of gene expression, orchestrating development and adaptive responses to stress. Despite their critical roles, the functional significance of NNIs remains poorly understood, largely due to a lack of comprehensive resources.

SUMOylation of rice DELLA SLR1 modulates transcriptional responses and improves yield under salt stress.

Planta

November 2024

Instituto de Tecnologia Química E Biológica, Universidade Nova de Lisboa (ITQB NOVA), 2780-157, Oeiras, Portugal.

SUMOylation of SLR1 at K2 protects productivity under salt stress, possibly by modulation of SLR1 interactome. DELLA proteins modulate GA signaling and are major regulators of plant plasticity to endure stress. DELLAs are mostly regulated at the post-translational level, and their activity relies on the interaction with upstream regulators and transcription factors (TFs).

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how receptor kinases at the plasma membrane respond to environmental signals by forming heterodimers, which influence signaling pathways to the nucleus.
  • Through affinity enrichment mass spectrometry, the researchers analyzed the interactions of LRR receptor kinases (BRI1 and SIRK1) with their ligands and examined the structural influences on these interactions.
  • Using a machine learning algorithm, the team identified key domains in the receptor structure that dictate specific interactions and predictions for how different receptor combinations affect plant signaling outcomes.

Nitrogen (N) is of utmost importance for plant growth and development. Multiple studies have shown that N signaling is tightly coupled with carbon (C) levels, but the interplay between C/N metabolism and growth remains largely an enigma. Nonetheless, the protein kinases Sucrose Non-fermenting 1 (SNF1)-Related Kinase 1 (SnRK1) and Target Of Rapamycin (TOR), two ancient central metabolic regulators, are emerging as key integrators that link C/N status with growth.
