AI Article Synopsis

  • - The plant immune system has two main pathways: PAMP-triggered immunity, which detects general pathogen markers, and effector-triggered immunity, which senses specific proteins produced by pathogens.
  • - Researchers studied how plants respond to the pathogen Xcc by analyzing gene expression changes at two time points after infection (3 and 12 days), finding more genes activated than suppressed, especially at 12 days.
  • - The study emphasized the importance of timing in plant defenses and discovered the key role of two calcium-signaling proteins in resistance, confirmed by experiments with Arabidopsis knockout mutants.

Article Abstract

The plant immune system is divided into two branches; one branch is based on the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP-triggered immunity), and the other relies on pathogenic effector detection (effector-triggered immunity). Despite each branch being involved in different complex mechanisms, both lead to transcription reprogramming and, thus, changes in plant metabolism. To study the defense mechanisms involved in the - pv. (Xcc) interaction, we analyzed the plant transcriptome dynamics at 3 and 12 days postinoculation (dpi) by using massive analysis of 3'-cDNA ends. We identified more induced than repressed transcripts at both 3 and 12 dpi, although the response was greater at 12 dpi. Changes in the expression of genes related to the early infection stages were only detected at 12 dpi, suggesting that the timing of triggered defenses is crucial to plant survival. qPCR analyses in susceptible and resistant plants allowed us to highlight the potential role of two calcium-signaling proteins, and , in the resistance against Xcc. This role was subsequently confirmed using Arabidopsis knockout mutants.

Cardiac alternans (C-ALT) is a phenomenon of alternating strong and weak contractions in the heart and is considered a risk factor for the development of heart failure and arrhythmias. However, no model has been reported that can induce C-ALT in vitro using human cells, and the developmental mechanism of C-ALT has not been studied using human cells. In this study, we successfully induced C-ALT in vitro using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs).

Transcriptional regulation in the absence of inositol trisphosphate receptor calcium signaling.

The activation of IP receptor (IPR) Ca channels generates agonist-mediated Ca signals that are critical for the regulation of a wide range of biological processes. It is therefore surprising that CRISPR induced loss of all three IPR isoforms (TKO) in HEK293 and HeLa cell lines yields cells that can survive, grow and divide, albeit more slowly than wild-type cells. In an effort to understand the adaptive mechanisms involved, we have examined the activity of key Ca dependent transcription factors (NFAT, CREB and AP-1) and signaling pathways using luciferase-reporter assays, phosphoprotein immunoblots and whole genome transcriptomic studies.

Activation of PLCβ enzymes by G and G proteins is a common mechanism to trigger cytosolic Ca increase. We and others reported that G inhibitor FR900358 (FR) can inhibit both and G - and, surprisingly, G -mediated intracellular Ca mobilization. Thus, the G -G -PLCβ-Ca signaling axis depends entirely on the presence of active G , which reasonably explained FR-inhibited G -induced Ca release.

Background: Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) undergo numerous state transitions throughout life, which are critical for supporting normal muscle growth and regeneration. Epigenetic modifications in skeletal muscle play a significant role in influencing the niche and cellular states of MuSCs. Mixed-lineage leukemia 4 (Mll4) is a histone methyltransferase critical for activating the transcription of various target genes and is highly expressed in skeletal muscle.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are crucial in stress perception, the integration of environmental signals, and the activation of downstream response networks. This review emphasizes ROS-mediated signaling pathways in microalgae and presents an overview of strategies for leveraging ROS. Eight distinct signaling pathways mediated by ROS in microalgae have been summarized, including the calcium signaling pathway, the target of rapamycin signaling pathway, the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, the cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A signaling pathway, the ubiquitin/protease pathway, the ROS-regulated transcription factors and enzymes, the endoplasmic reticulum stress, and the retrograde ROS signaling.
