Network dynamics of eukaryotic LTR retroelements beyond phylogenetic trees

Biology Direct, 2009
Background Sequencing projects have allowed diverse retroviruses and LTR retrotransposons from different eukaryotic organisms to be characterized. It is known that retroviruses and other retro-transcribing viruses evolve from LTR retrotransposons and ...

Mechanisms of Aristolochic Acid Resistance in Specialist Butterflies and Evolutionary Insights for Potential Protective Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

Epidermal Cell Dynamics Regulates Rice Lamina Joint Morphogenesis and Leaf Angle Formation through OsZHD1 and OsZHD2 Regulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The lamina joint determines leaf angle and plant architecture. Xu et al. establish a live‐imaging system for the rice lamina joint and reveal that asymmetric epidermal cell elongation and division between the lateral and medial edges drive leaf angle formation.

CsdA‐LaeB Regulatory Hub Contributes to Aspergillus fumigatus Virulence via Fumiquinazoline C Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a conserved CsdA‐LaeB hub in Aspergillus fumigatus that regulates secondary metabolite fumiquinazoline C (FqC). Disrupting this hub enhances FqC production and virulence, shedding new light on the post‐transcriptional regulatory logic linking secondary metabolism to pathogenicity and offering alternative strategies for diagnostic ...

GSH as an A‐A Type Allosteric Activator of PKM2: Modulating Cancer Cell Homeostasis and Ferroptosis Susceptibility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glutathione (GSH) defines oxidative balance, but can it directly tune central metabolism? The research reveals that GSH binds and potently activates pyruvate kniase M2 (PKM2), rewiring glycolysis and dictating ferroptosis sensitivity. Combining GSH depletion with PKM2 activation triggers mitochondrial damage and lipid peroxidation, profoundly ...

Higher‐Level Structural Classification of Pseudomonas Cyclic Lipopeptides through Their Bioactive Conformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Solution structures of a series of cyclic lipodepsipeptides from Pseudomonas reveal that these specialized metabolites adopt left‐handed alpha helical conformations of only two types, being either ‘stapled’ or ‘catch‐pole’ helix. The particular modular distribution of the biosynthetic gene clusters is found to determine the extent of their conserved ...

Translation‐Promoting Effects of RNA Template Overhangs in the Absence of Ribosomes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Ribosome‐free translation of an RNA sequence into a peptide sequence can be controlled by the folding of the template strand. Overhang sequences forming a triplex structure with the templating region and the peptidoyl RNA in pH‐dependent manner increase yields up to 40‐fold through entropic effects and mixed anhydride formation, allowing for controlled,
