The plant-specific stress response protein NRP (asparagine-rich protein) is characterized by an asparagine-rich domain at its N-terminus and a conserved development and cell death (DCD) domain at its C-terminus. Previous transcriptional studies and phenotypic analyses have demonstrated the involvement of NRP in response to severe stress conditions, such as high salt and ER Endoplasmic reticulum-stress. We have recently identified distinct roles for NRP in biotic- and abiotic-stress signaling pathways, in which NRP interacts with different signaling proteins to change their subcellular localizations and stability. Here, to further explore the function of NRP, a transcriptome analysis was carried out on knock-out lines at different life stages or under different growing conditions. The most significant changes in the transcriptome at both stages and conditions turned out to be the induction of the synthesis of secondary metabolites (SMs). Such an observation implicates that NRP is a general stress-responsive protein involved in various challenges faced by plants during their life cycle, which might involve a broad alteration in the distribution of SMs.

tRNAs are not only essential for decoding the genetic code, but their abundance also has a strong impact on the rate of protein production, folding, and on the stability of the translated messenger RNAs. Plasmodium expresses a unique surface protein called tRip, involved in the import of exogenous tRNAs into the parasite.

Zebra and quagga mussels () are invasive freshwater biofoulers that perpetrate devastating economic and ecological impact. Their success depends on their ability to anchor onto substrates with protein-based fibers known as byssal threads. Yet, compared to other mussel lineages, little is understood about the proteins comprising their fibers or their evolutionary history.

Self-incompatibility (SI) is an intraspecific reproductive barrier widely present in angiosperms. The SI system with the broadest occurrence in angiosperms is based on an S-RNase linked to a cluster of multiple S-locus F-box (SLF) genes found in the Solanaceae, Plantaginaceae, Rosaceae, and Rutaceae. Recent studies reveal that non-self S-RNase is degraded by the Skip Cullin F-box (SCF)-mediated ubiquitin-proteasome system in a collaborative manner in Petunia, but how self-RNase functions largely remains mysterious.

Malaria parasite lacks canonical pathways for amino acid biosynthesis and depends primarily on hemoglobin degradation and extracellular resources for amino acids. Interestingly, a putative gene for glutamine synthetase (GS) is retained despite glutamine being an abundant amino acid in human and mosquito hosts. Here we show Plasmodium GS has evolved as a unique type I enzyme with distinct structural and regulatory properties to adapt to the asexual niche.
