Malectin is a newly discovered endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident lectin, which specifically recognizes Glc2Man9GlcNAc2 on newly synthesized glycoproteins. We have previously demonstrated that malectin forms a complex with ribophorin I for selective retention of misfolded glycoproteins inside the cell. Here, we showed that ribophorin I also functions to regulate the subcellular localization of malectin under various conditions. Even though malectin does not contain an ER-retention signal motif, we found that endogenous malectin mainly localizes in the ER, which is disrupted upon suppression of ribophorin I, leading to its movement from ER to Golgi. In contrast, under ER-stress conditions, malectin mainly localizes in the Golgi, which is restored to ER localization by overexpression of ribophorin I. These results indicate that the subcellular localization of malectin is accurately regulated by the expression level of ribophorin I, which will provide further insights into the understanding of the function of malectin.

The Malectin-like kinase gene MdMDS1 negatively regulates the resistance of Pyrus betulifolia to Valsa canker by promoting the expression of PbePME1.

Valsa canker, caused by fungal pathogens in Valsa species, is a fungal disease of apple and pear growing in China and even in Asia. Malectin-like kinases play crucial roles in plant recognition of the pathogen-induced signals and subsequent activation of partially host immune responses. However, the role of MEDOS1 (MDS1), a Malectin-like kinase, in plant immunity has not yet been extensively explored.

The acentrosomal spindle apparatus has kinetochore fibers organized and converged toward opposite poles; however, mechanisms underlying the organization of these microtubule fibers into an orchestrated bipolar array were largely unknown. Kinesin-14D is one of the four classes of Kinesin-14 motors that are conserved from green algae to flowering plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, three Kinesin-14D members displayed distinct cell cycle-dependent localization patterns on spindle microtubules in mitosis.

Coronaviruses (CoV) rewire host protein homeostasis (proteostasis) networks through interactions between viral nonstructural proteins (nsps) and host factors to promote infection. With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, it is imperative to characterize host interactors shared across nsp homologs. Using quantitative proteomics and functional genetic screening, we identify conserved proteostasis interactors of nsp2 and nsp4 that serve pro-viral roles during infection of murine hepatitis virus - a model betacoronavirus.

Objective: To screen for the key characteristic genes of the psoriasis vulgaris (PV) patients with different Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes, including blood-heat syndrome (BHS), blood stasis syndrome (BSS), and blood-dryness syndrome (BDS), through bioinformatics and machine learning and to provide a scientific basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PV of different TCM syndrome types.
Methods: The GSE192867 dataset was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The limma package was used to screen for the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of PV, BHS, BSS, and BDS in PV patients and healthy populations.

Unlabelled: Pattern-Triggered Immunity (PTI) in plants is activated upon recognition by Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) of Damage- and Microbe-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs and MAMPs) from plants or microorganisms, respectively. An increasing number of identified DAMPs/MAMPs are carbohydrates from plant cell walls and microbial extracellular layers, which are perceived by plant PRRs, such as LysM and Leucine Rich Repeat-Malectin (LRR-MAL) receptor kinases (RKs). LysM-RKs (e.
