Carotenoids are a core plastid component and yet their regulatory function during plastid biogenesis remains enigmatic. A unique carotenoid biosynthesis mutant, (), that has no prolamellar body (PLB) and normal PROTOCHLOROPHYLLIDE OXIDOREDUCTASE (POR) levels, was used to demonstrate a regulatory function for carotenoids and their derivatives under varied dark-light regimes. A forward genetics approach revealed how an epistatic interaction between a mutant () and blocked the biosynthesis of specific -carotenes and restored PLB formation in etioplasts. We attributed this to a novel apocarotenoid retrograde signal, as chemical inhibition of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase activity restored PLB formation in etioplasts during skotomorphogenesis. The apocarotenoid acted in parallel to the repressor of photomorphogenesis, DEETIOLATED1 (DET1), to transcriptionally regulate PROTOCHLOROPHYLLIDE OXIDOREDUCTASE (POR), PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR3 (PIF3) and ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5). The unknown apocarotenoid signal restored POR protein levels and PLB formation in , thereby controlling plastid development.

The planar lipid bilayer (PLB) technique represents a highly effective method for the study of membrane protein properties in a controlled environment. The PLB method was employed to investigate the role of mitochondrial inner membrane protein 17 (MPV17), whose mutations are associated with a hepatocerebral form of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDS). This protocol presents a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to the assembly and utilization of a PLB system.

Objective: To determine the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) and post-receptor protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway after acute myocardial ischemia (MI).
Methods: An MI model was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery of wild-type (WT) C57/BL and β-AR mice (heterozygous for β-AR gene deletion). EA treatment was administered at HT5-HT7 or LU9-LU8.
