The Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase GhNTF3 Modulates the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis-Immunity Trade-Off in Cotton by Regulating Salicylic Acid Biosynthesis. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)AM symbiosis induces GhWAK13 to promote fungal colonization. GhNTF3 negatively regulates symbiosis by promoting SA biosynthesis. GhWAK13 sequesters GhNTF3 at the membrane, limiting its nuclear translocation and relieving SA‐mediated suppression. Under Verticillium stress, GhNTF3 enters the nucleus and interacts with GhJAZ6 to activate SA signaling ...

Bacteriophage P22 Virus-Like Particles as Nanoscale Protein Scaffolds for Plant Synthetic Biology. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT Advancing the utility of plant synthetic biology requires the continued development of protein engineering tools. Self‐assembling protein compartments, such as virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide versatile scaffolds for synthetic biology. However, few plant‐expressed VLPs have demonstrated broad amenability to protein engineering, restricting

EBV-Driven ODC1 Upregulation Enhances Polyamine Anabolism to Promote Viral Replication and Cisplatin Resistance in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)EBV‑BZLF1 initiates ODC1‑driven polyamine anabolism that correlates with poor clinical prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The ODC1–spermidine axis promotes viral replication, cell proliferation and innate immune evasion. Pharmacological inhibition of ODC1 rescues cisplatin sensitivity, establishing ODC1 as a viable therapeutic target for EBV ...

Identification of a Nonribosomal Peptide Analog With Activity Against Multiple Gram-Positive Bacteria via a Synthetic Bioinformatic Natural Product Discovery Approach. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)The genome of Rhodococcus erythropolis D‐1 was analyzed by bioinformatic tools to mine a novel nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene cluster. A nonribosomal peptide analog ZURJC5 associated with the NRPS was chemically synthesized. Through structure‐activity relationship studies, ZURJC28 was ultimately obtained and showed antibacterial activity ...

A Review of Peptide Nucleic Acid [PDF]
, 2015 Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) is a nucleobase oligomer in which the whole backbone is mainly replaced by N-(2- aminoethyl) glycine units. PNA is considered as DNA with a neutral peptide backbone due to negative charged sugar–phosphate backbone.
