Context: Higher protein diets (HPDs) have shown favorable outcomes on weight maintenance and body-composition management; however, their protective effects against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain uncertain and contentious. Furthermore, it is important to consider the influence of other macronutrients in the diet and type of dietary protein when studying HPDs, because this aspect has been overlooked in previous studies.
Objective: We assessed the impacts of quantity and type of dietary protein on CVD risk factors.

Over the last decade, the composition of the C-to-U RNA editing complex in embryophyte organelles has turned out to be much more complex than first expected. While PPR proteins were initially thought to act alone, significant evidences have clearly depicted a sophisticated mechanism with numerous protein-protein interaction involving PPR and non-PPR proteins. Moreover, the identification of specific functional partnership between PPRs also suggests that, in addition to the highly specific PPRs directly involved in the RNA target recognition, non-RNA-specific ones are required.

Kiwifruit is a perennial fruit tree with high nutritional and economic value; however, various pathogen stresses have resulted in reductions in its yield and quality. Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins (PPRs), characterized by tandem repetitions of 35 amino acid motifs, play roles in RNA editing, mRNA stability, and splicing. They may also regulate plant development and growth.

The mitochondrial C-to-U RNA editing factor PPR56 of the moss Physcomitrium patens is an RNA-binding pentatricopeptide repeat protein equipped with a terminal DYW-type cytidine deaminase domain. Transferred into Escherichia coli, PPR56 works faithfully on its two native RNA editing targets, nad3eU230SL and nad4eU272SL, and also converts cytidines into uridines at over 100 off-targets in the bacterial transcriptome. Accordingly, PPR56 is attractive for detailed mechanistic studies in the heterologous bacterial setup, allowing for scoring differential RNA editing activities of many target and protein variants in reasonable time.
