Manganese (Mn) is essential for plants but is toxic when taken up in excess. To maintain Mn homeostasis, the root Mn transporter natural resistance associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1) cycles from the plasma membrane to endosomes upon phosphorylation. To identify the kinase involved, a split-luciferase screening was carried out between NRAMP1 and kinases of the CIPK family and identified CIPK23 as a partner of NRAMP1. The interaction was confirmed by split-mCitrine bimolecular fluorescence complementation and co-immunoprecipitation assays. In vitro phosphorylation assays pinpointed two CIPK23 target residues in NRAMP1, among which serine 20, important for endocytosis. Interestingly, Mn-induced internalization of NRAMP1 was unaffected by cipk23 mutation suggesting a potential redundancy between CIPK23 and other kinase(s). How CIPK23 could regulate NRAMP1 in response to Mn availability is discussed.

The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for the bioremediation of heavy metal cadmium (Cd) and for enhancing plant growth in Cd-polluted soil is widely recognized as an effective approach. This study aimed to isolate Cd-resistant bacteria with plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits from the rhizosphere of vegetables subjected to metal contamination and to investigate the mechanisms associated with Cd adsorption as well as its impact on Cd uptake in lettuce. Six Cd-resistant bacterial strains were isolated from rhizosphere soil, among which the R27 strain exhibited the highest tolerance to Cd (minimum inhibitory concentration of 2000 mg/L) along with PGP traits, including phosphate solubilization (385.

Metal ion coordination is crucial in bacterial metabolism, while divalent metal ions serve as essential cofactors for various enzymes involved in cellular processes. Therefore, bacteria have developed sophisticated regulatory mechanisms to maintain metal homeostasis. These involve protein interactions for metal ion uptake, efflux, intracellular transport, and storage.

Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in circulation were recognized as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of multiple diseases. However, its potential as a diagnostic hallmark for tuberculosis (TB) has yet to be explored. Here, we comprehensively analyze miRNA profiles in exosomes derived from the plasma of active TB patients and healthy persons to evaluate its efficacy in TB diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- Cadmium (Cd) is a harmful heavy metal that enters the food chain through plants, posing health risks to humans when consumed.
- Researchers identified a specific protein called WAKL4 that helps plants tolerate Cd stress by regulating the uptake of this metal.
- The study reveals that WAKL4 works by interacting with another protein, NRAMP1, to promote its degradation, thus reducing Cd absorption in plants, which could aid in developing crops that accumulate less Cd.

Article Synopsis
- Salmonella enteritidis (SE) continues to cause significant economic losses in chicken production, emphasizing the need to study the host's genetic immune response to understand resistance and susceptibility to the disease.
- The research aims to identify key immune-related genes and their pathways involved in resistance to SE by combining gene expression studies with computational analysis.
- A two-phase experimental design is utilized, which includes bioinformatics tools to predict gene function and validate findings through real-time PCR to measure the expression of five candidate genes in infected and non-infected samples.
