Published: November 2019

We reported the complete nucleotide sequence of a (X4)-carrying plasmid, pSTB20-1T, from a tigecycline-resistant isolate in China. Sequence analysis indicated that pSTB20-1T contains a hybrid plasmid backbone and a (X4)-containing multidrug resistance region, likely originated through recombination of multiple plasmids. (X4) was flanked by two IS, which may be responsible for (X4) mobilization. The occurrence and transmission of this novel hybrid plasmid may exacerbate the spread of the clinically significant (X4) gene.

The MCM motor of the eukaryotic replicative helicase is loaded as a double hexamer onto DNA by the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC), Cdc6, and Cdt1. ATP binding supports formation of the ORC-Cdc6-Cdt1-MCM (OCCM) helicase-recruitment complex where ORC-Cdc6 and one MCM hexamer form two juxtaposed rings around duplex DNA. ATP hydrolysis by MCM completes MCM loading but the mechanism is unknown.

Tulip mild mottle mosaic disease, caused by tulip mild mottle mosaic virus (TMMMV, species Ophiovirus tulipae), was first reported in Japan in 1979. TMMMV has a negative-sense ssRNA genome and is closely related to ophioviruses such as Mirafiori lettuce big vein virus (MLBVV, Ophiovirus mirafioriense). However, its complete nucleotide sequence has not yet been reported.

Plants deploy cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) to recognize pathogens. However, how plant immune receptor repertoires evolve in responding to changed pathogen burdens remains elusive. Here we reveal the convergent reduction of NLR repertoires in plants with diverse special lifestyles/habitats (SLHs) encountering low pathogen burdens.

Sequence analysis and genome organization of a new marafivirus from Leptochloa chinensis.

Arch Virol

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Ecological Pest Control for Fujian and Taiwan Crops, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou, 350002, Fujian, China.

High-throughput sequencing was used to identify and characterize a novel marafivirus from the weed Leptochloa chinensis, which was tentatively named "Leptochloa chinensis marafivirus" (LcMV). The complete genome of the virus consists of 6,178 base pairs, and its nucleotide sequence is 73.82% identical to that of Sorghum almum marafivirus, which is a member of the genus Marafivirus within the family Tymoviridae.
