MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the establishment of pluripotent state by controlling pluripotent network. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling miRNAs during somatic cell reprogramming remain obscure. In this study, we show Gadd45a (growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible protein 45a) enhances reprogramming by activating miR-295. Furthermore, we show that Gadd45a binds the promoter regions of miR-295. Nuclease accessibility assay indicates that Gadd45a opens the promoter regions of miR-295. Levels of H3K9Ac and H3K27Ac on the promoter regions of miR-295 were also increased. In conclusion, our results indicate that Gadd45a relaxes the promoter regions of miR-295 and promotes the expression of miR-295 during reprogramming, implying a concise mechanism of Gadd45a and miR-290 cluster cooperation in cell-fate determination.

is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb rich in various bioactive secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids and flavonoids, and exhibits remarkable resistance to abiotic stress. The WRKY transcription factor (TF) family is one of the largest plant-specific TF families and plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stress. However, a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the WRKY gene family in has not yet been conducted.

Tigecycline is a last-resort antibiotic to treat complicated infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens, while the emergence of plasmid-mediated tet(X) family severely compromises its clinical efficacy. Novel antimicrobial strategies not limited to new antibiotics in pharmaceutical pipeline are urgently needed. Herein, we reveal the metabolic disparities between tet(X)-negative and -positive E.

While the genetic regulation of nodule formation has been well explored, the molecular mechanisms by which abiotic stresses, such as salt stress, impede nodule formation remain largely elusive. Here, we identify four APETALA2/Ethylene Responsive Factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factors, GmERF13s, that are induced by salt stress and play key roles in salt-repressed nodulation. Loss of GmERF13 function increases nodule density, while its overexpression suppresses nodulation.

G-quadruplex structures (GQSes) are the intricate molecular knots or marvels that play diverse roles in various cellular processes, such as replication, transcription, and translation, which regulate gene expression. Even though GQSes can be found throughout the genome, they are more prevalent in certain genomic regions like promoters and 5'-UTRs. This review discusses the functionality of GQSes across various regions of the genome and draws attention to the intriguing world of DNA and RNA GQSes.
