The Infection of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Roots by Meloidogyne incognita Alters the Expression of Actin-Depolymerizing Factor (ADF) Genes, Particularly in Association with Giant Cell Formation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is threatened by substantial yield losses due to the south root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita). However, understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the process of nematode infection is still limited. In this

Deep Learning‐Driven Discovery and Engineering of an Efficient PETase for Depolymerization and Detoxification of PET Microplastics Under Physiological Conditions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A deep learning–driven pipeline mining 246 million protein sequences uncovers AhPETase, an evolutionarily distinct PET hydrolase. Engineered variant AhPETaseM1 degrades post‐consumer PET microplastics under physiological conditions and reverses microplasticinduced cytotoxicity in human lung and colon cells, establishing enzymatic microplastic ...

Molecular cloning and characterization of the actin-depolymerizing factor gene in Gossypium barbadense

Genes & Genetic Systems, 2008
The Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) has been highly valued in verticillium wilt resistance and many fiber qualities including fiber length, strength and fineness. To identify whether it had some special genes in fiber development in comparison with the Upland cotton (G.

Ac‐SDKP modulates apoptosis via HSP27 and the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial axes

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram of Ac‐SDKP regulating the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways via HSP27. Ac‐SDKP inhibits HSP27 expression, activates the FAS/FASL pathway and Caspase‐3 signaling, increases Caspase‐8 and Caspase‐3 expression, and induces cell apoptosis.

Engineering and Characterization of a Fluorescent Fission Yeast Arp2/3 Complex for Single Molecule Mechanistic Investigations

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arp2/3 complex is a seven‐component protein complex that facilitates the assembly of branched actin filament networks by binding to pre‐existing “mother” actin filaments and initiating the nucleation of new branched “daughter” filaments. Arp2/3 complex must be activated by a nucleation promoting factor such as the WASP/Scar protein family. The

Blood Biomarkers of Helicobacter pylori‐Infected Chronic Gastritis in Active Versus Stable Phases: A Clinical Indicator Analysis Combined With Proteomic and Metabolomic Investigations

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Combining clinical data with serum proteomics and metabolomics, the HGB–CAPZB–acetic acid model was developed as a potential diagnostic index to distinguish the active and stable stages of Helicobacter pylori‐infected chronic gastritis, and the related mechanism was explored through multi‐omics.

Association between CFL1 gene polymorphisms and spina bifida risk in a California population

BMC Medical Genetics, 2007
Background CFL1 encodes human non-muscle cofilin (n-cofilin), which is an actin-depolymerizing factor and is essential in cytokinesis, endocytosis, and in the development of all embryonic tissues. Cfl1 knockout mice exhibit failure of neural tube closure
