Plants are highly sensitive to environmental changes, and alternative splicing (AS) has been described in many studies due to its important control role in stress response. Recent studies indicated that plants exhibit splicing memory to stress to effectively activate transcriptional adaptation. Hydrogen peroxide (HO), as a reactive oxygen species (ROS), has toxic effects on plants. However, it also has a significant effect on promoting early maturity of 'Kyoho' grape at low concentrations. To explore the mechanism of priming treatment of HO showing better promotion effect, the RNA-Seq data of HO-primied and no-primied fruits were analyzed. The genes with HO stress splicing memory were identified, accompanied by changes in H3K4me3 modification levels, and their splicing memory patterns were verified by PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis. This finding establishes a link between alternative splicing memory and fruit ripening under HO regulation and contribute to develop the application of HO in fruit ripening.

Alternative splicing (AS) is a mechanism that generates translational diversity within a genome. Equally important is the dynamic adaptability of the splicing machinery, which can give preference to one isoform over others encoded by a single gene. These isoform preferences change in response to the cell's state and function.

Oligodendrocytes, the myelinating cells in the central nervous system, are implicated in several neurological disorders marked by dysfunctional RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). The present study aimed at investigating the role of hnRNP A1 in the proteome of the corpus callosum, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus of a murine cuprizone-induced demyelination model. Right after the cuprizone insult, we administered an hnRNP A1 splicing activity inhibitor and analyzed its impact on brain remyelination by nanoESI-LC-MS/MS label-free proteomic analysis to assess the biological processes affected in these brain regions.

Numerous chronic human disorders are associated with immune activation by obscure antigen(s). We identified a novel sarcoidosis-epitope (ChainA) by immunoscreening of a novel T7 phage library and confirmed an abundance of ChainA IgG-antibody in sarcoidosis. We tested whether ChainA epitope elicits immune responses through B-cell activation, plasma cell differentiation and antibody production.

One of the most important goals of contemporary biology is to understand the principles of the molecular order underlying the complex dynamic architecture of cells. Here, we present an overview of the main driving forces involved in the cellular molecular complexity and in the emergent functional dynamic structures, spanning from the most basic molecular organization levels to the complex emergent integrative systemic behaviors. First, we address the molecular information processing which is essential in many complex fundamental mechanisms such as the epigenetic memory, alternative splicing, regulation of transcriptional system, and the adequate self-regulatory adaptation to the extracellular environment.
