Microbial ecological memory of recurrent drought enhances host stress tolerance through enrichment of plant‐beneficial bacteria

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Recurrent desiccation induced niche‐specific microbial ecological memory in the green part of Calohypnum plumiforme, marked by enrichment of plant‐beneficial bacteria, especially Methylobacterium and Sphingomonas, and functional shifts toward symbiosis and stress protection, potentially enhancing host tolerance within a “holobiont ecology memory ...

Glycosyltransferases encoded by viruses

Journal of General Virology, 2004
Studies of cellular biology in recent decades have highlighted the crucial roles of glycans in numerous important biological processes, raising the concept of glycomics that is now considered as important as genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. For millions of years, viruses have been co-evolving with their hosts.

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...

Direct interaction between MreB and the RodA‐PBP2 complex organizes lateral cell wall synthesis in Escherichia coli

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The elongasome, or the Rod complex, orchestrates lateral peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis in many rod‐shaped bacteria. It consists of the actin‐like protein MreB, the PG synthase RodA‐PBP2 complex, as well as MreCD and RodZ. Although the loss or disruption of any elongasome component results in a loss of rod shape, previous studies found that a ...

Critical Review of Plant Cell Wall Matrix Polysaccharide Glycosyltransferase Activities Verified by Heterologous Protein Expression

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The life cycle and development of plants requires the biosynthesis, deposition, and degradation of cell wall matrix polysaccharides. The structures of the diverse cell wall matrix polysaccharides influence commercially important properties of plant cells,

Deep evolutionary analysis reveals the design principles of fold A glycosyltransferases

eLife, 2020
Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are prevalent across the tree of life and regulate nearly all aspects of cellular functions. The evolutionary basis for their complex and diverse modes of catalytic functions remain enigmatic. Here, based on deep mining of over

The N‐Glycome to Differentiate Mesenchymal Stem Cells Upon Chondrogenic Differentiation, Dedifferentiation, and Senescence

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells able to self‐renewal or differentiation into different cell types, including chondrocytes. N‐Glycans are post‐translational modifications of glycoproteins that contribute to vital cell functions.

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Deciphering the sub-Golgi localization of glycosyltransferases via 3D super-resolution imaging

Cell Structure and Function
The Golgi apparatus, a crucial organelle involved in protein processing, including glycosylation, exhibits complex sub-structures, i.e., cis-, medial, and trans-cisternae.

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.
