Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Comprehensive Investigation of GRF Transcription Factors and Associated Responses to Drought Stress in Oat (Avena sativa)

Plants
Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) are plant-specific transcription factors that play important roles in plant growth and development. However, no systematic analysis of GRF genes has been reported in oat (Avena sativa).

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Genome-wide identification of PEBP gene family in Hedychium coronarium

Frontiers in Plant Science
The Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) gene family plays a crucial role in plant growth and development, particularly in regulating flowering time and morphogenesis. However, the diversity, expression patterns, and functions of PEBP genes in

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Genome-wide identification of the LRX gene family in Cucurbitaceae and expression analysis under salt and drought stress in cucumber

Vegetable Research
Leucine-Rich Repeats Extensins (LRX) are a type of cell wall protein that participate in the formation of the plant cell wall and play a crucial role in plant growth and development. However, the study of LRX genes in Cucurbitaceae has not been reported.

Genome-wide analysis and environmental response profiling of phosphate-induced-1 family genes in rice (Oryza sativa)

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019
Phosphate-induced-1 (PHI-1) and phosphate-induced-1-like family genes respond to plant hormones such as abscisic acid (ABA), BR (brassinosteroid) and ethylene. To date, very few researches have been done on abiotic stress for PHI-1 genes.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).
