Advanced Science, EarlyView.Chromosome segregation in Streptococcus pneumoniae depends on RocS, a bitopic protein whose membrane‐anchoring mechanisms were unclear. Using NMR and AFM, this study reveals that the widely conserved RocS anchor binds to membranes via a conserved kink‐helix motif which inserts into lipid nanodomains.

Increased Autophagy of Rice Can Increase Yield and Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE)
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Autophagy (self-eating), a conserved pathway in eukaryotes, which is designed to handle cytoplasmic material in bulk and plays an important role in the remobilization of nutrient, such as nitrogen (N) under suboptimal nutrient conditions.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.The alleviation of asthma by polydatin is dependent on the blockage of the toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4)/P2X7R synergy in macrophages. The blockage of the TLR4/P2X7R synergy results in decreased release and secretion of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and IL‐18. In epithelial cells, low IL‐1β and IL‐18 levels inhibit mitochondrial damage and apoptosis.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin
Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Allelic effects on starch structure and properties of six starch biosynthetic genes in a rice recombinant inbred line population [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: The genetic diversity of six starch biosynthetic genes (Wx, SSI, SSIIa, SBEI, SBEIIa and SBEIIb) in indica and japonica rices opens an opportunity to produce a new variety with more favourable grain starch quality.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract This systematic review examines strategies for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production by thraustochytrids, focusing on cultivation techniques, fermentation technologies, and carbon/nitrogen optimization to increase productivity. Among 169 eligible articles, the 100 most productive studies (0.7–10.3 g DHA L−1 per day) were analyzed. Quantitative
