The properties of the informosomes released from isolated nuclei of wheat embryos were studied in an in vitro system. The release of the informosomes from isolated nuclei of wheat embryos labelled with [3H]uridine is stimulated by exogeneous ATP. Optimal conditions for informosomes release from nuclei were determined. The particles obtained have heterogeneous sedimentation coefficients in sucrose gradient ranging from 10 to 60S. The particles are sensitive to low concentrations of RNase. Buoyant density in CsCl is 1.40-1.43 g/cm3. RNA extracted from particles is characterized by heterogeneous distribution in sucrose gradient between 4 and 20S. The informosomes contain two main peptides with molecular mass 36 000 and 51 000 and a number of minor peptides.

Bulk methods to fractionate organelles lack the resolution to capture single-cell heterogeneity. While microfluidic approaches attempt to fractionate organelles at the cellular level, they fail to map each organelle back to its cell of origin-crucial for multiomics applications. To address this, we developed VacTrap, a high-throughput microfluidic device for isolating and spatially indexing single nuclei from mammalian cells.

Pymetrozine (a pyridine azomethine pesticide) is one of the most commonly and frequently used insecticides. Scanty information is available about the deleterious effects of Pymetrozine on fish especially bighead carp. Hence, the current study investigated chronic toxicological effects of pymetrozine in bighead carp.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Study Virus Structure.

Subcell Biochem

December 2024

IDIBE, Universidad Miguel Hernández, Elche, Alicante, Spain.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a spectroscopic technique based on the absorption of radiofrequency radiation by atomic nuclei in the presence of an external magnetic field. NMR has followed a "bottom-up" approach to solve the structures of isolated domains of viral proteins, including capsid protein subunits, or to provide information about other macromolecular partners with which such proteins interact. NMR has been instrumental in describing conformational changes in viral proteins and nucleic acids, showing the presence of dynamic equilibria which are thought to be important at different stages of the virus life cycle.

Trans-nuclei CRISPR/Cas9: safe approach for genome editing in the edible mushroom excluding foreign DNA sequences.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol

December 2024

Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, Sakyo-Ku, Kitashirakawaoiwakecho, Kyoto, 606-8502, Japan.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-assisted genome editing has been applied to several major edible agaricomycetes, enabling efficient gene targeting. This method is promising for rapid and efficient breeding to isolate high-value cultivars and overcome cultivation challenges. However, the integration of foreign DNA fragments during this process raises concerns regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their regulatory restrictions.
