Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Breaking the soil barrier: Somatic embryogenesis and polyploidization enable high-yield saponin in Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen

Industrial Crops and Products
Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen is a highly valuable medicinal plant. The saponins abundant in its roots and rhizomes are effective in medicine, health products, and skincare. However, its planting faces severe continuous-cropping obstacles, high soil-

A 10-year US$50 million programme focused on crop wild relative collection and pre-breeding for climate change adaptation [PDF]

, 2014
CCAFS research demonstrated the threats posed to crop wild relatives by climate change and habitat conversion. Analyses showed the very poor conservation status of these gene pools.

Maize Germplasm Conservation in Southern California's Urban Gardens: Introduced Diversity Beyond ex situ and in situ Management. [PDF]

, 2016
Contemporary germplasm conservation studies largely focus on ex situ and in situ management of diversity within centers of genetic diversity. Transnational migrants who transport and introduce landraces to new locations may catalyze a third type of ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Dispersed repeats and inverted repeat expansion drive major plastomic rearrangements in Calliandra haematocephala (Leguminosae: Mimoseae)

Frontiers in Plant Science
Structural variations in legume plastomes impact phylogenetic and evolutionary studies. In this study, we focus on the tribe Mimoseae by integrating a newly assembled plastome of Calliandra haematocephala (from PacBio sequencing data) with 15 previously ...

The ubiquitin ligase RNF115 is required for the clearance of damaged lysosomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Upon lysosomal rupture, an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF115 translocates from the cytosol to the damaged lysosomal membrane. Moreover, RNF115 depletion impairs the clearance of damaged lysosomes, identifying it as a key regulator of lysosomal quality control.
