Chymotryptic (Ch-Cl) and Mg(2+)-papain subfragments 1 of (Mg-Cl) skeletal myosin has been studied. Mg-Cl is known to differ from Ch-Cl by the presence of the regulatory light chain (RLC) and elongated heavy chain including C-end hinge segment. Experimental data prove the decisive part of coordination bondings with bivalent cations in stabilization of RLV on myosin head hinge segment. Hydrophobic interactions are also significant that is evidenced by the intensive aggregation between subfragment Mg-Cl molecules, after RLC dissociation.

Background And Objective: Oral bacteria can translocate to the intestine, and their colonization efficiency is influenced by the gastrointestinal tract pH. Understanding how oral bacteria resist acidic environments is crucial for elucidating their role in gut health and disease.

Methods: To investigate the mechanisms of acid resistance in oral bacteria, an in vitro gastrointestinal tract Dynamic pH Model was established.

Background: P-element-induced wimpy testis (PIWI) proteins bind to PIWI-interactingRNAs (piRNAs) to form the piRNA/PIWI complex, which affects protein regulation. PIWIL4, a member of the PIWI family, has been demonstrated in recent studies to promote the migration of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line MDA-MB-231. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying cell migration remain obscure.

Optogenetics, an innovative approach integrating photonics and genetic engineering, enables precise control over molecular and cellular processes, opening up exciting new opportunities for precision-guided medicine. In this review, we highlight recent advances in optogenetic tools and their applications across a range of medical conditions, including vision restoration in retinitis pigmentosa via light-activated ion channels, precise immune response modulation in cancer immunotherapy, and blood glucose management in diabetes through controllable drug release. Optogenetics also plays a critical role in bioelectronic medicine, enabling seamless communication between electronic systems and biological tissues to enhance therapeutic precision.

The wheat NLR pair RXL/Pm5e confers resistance to powdery mildew.

Plant Biotechnol J

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Seed Innovation, Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.

Powdery mildew poses a significant threat to global wheat production and most cloned and deployed resistance genes for wheat breeding encode nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors. Although two genetically linked NLRs function together as an NLR pair have been reported in other species, this phenomenon has been relatively less studied in wheat. Here, we demonstrate that two tightly linked NLR genes, RXL and Pm5e, arranged in a head-to-head orientation, function together as an NLR pair to mediate powdery mildew resistance in wheat.

Comparative transcriptome and metabolome analysis of sweet potato ( (L.) Lam.) tuber development.

Front Plant Sci

Institute of Food Crops, Hainan Academy of Agricultural Sciences/Hainan Key Laboratory of Crop Genetics and Breeding, Haikou, China.

Introduction: Sweet potato is an important food, feed and industrial raw material, and its tubers are rich in starch, carotenoids and anthocyanins.

Methods: To elucidate the gene expression regulation and metabolic characteristics during the development of sweet potato tubers, transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were performed on the tubers of three different sweet potato varieties at three developmental stages (70, 100, and 130 days (d)).

Results: RNA-seq analysis revealed that 16,303 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were divided into 12 clusters according to their expression patterns, and the pathways of each cluster were annotated.
