ATP Hydrolysis by α‐Synuclein Amyloids is Mediated by Enclosing β‐Strand

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pathological amyloids have been considered chemically inert until recently. Here it is shown that α‐synuclein amyloids catalyze the hydrolysis of the universal energy molecule, ATP. The cryo‐EM structure of the complex reveals an additional β‐strand (purple) that encloses the ATP‐binding site. Within the cavity, several lysine residues are required for

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Exacerbates the Advancement of Renal Fibrosis by Modulating Renal CCR2+PIRB+ Macrophages Through the ANGPTL8/PIRB/ALOX5AP Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ANGPTL8/PIRB/ALOX5AP axis mediates liver‐kidney crosstalk. Hepatocytes secrete ANGPTL8, which binds to CCR2+PIRB+ macrophages in the kidneys, affecting the expression of ALOX5AP and enhancing the activation of these macrophages. Activated cells produce TGF‐β, IL‐6, and IL‐23, driving Th17 activation and promote the formation of myofibroblasts ...

A Coding SNP in GmPM30 Enhances Soybean Salinity Tolerance and Yield through the GmLEA1‐GmPM30‐GmLEC1 Module

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A natural variation in soybean PM30, GmPM30‐HapT, confers greater salt tolerance than GmPM30‐HapC via stronger GmLEA1‐GmPM30‐GmLEC1 interactions. Pyramiding their elite haplotypes yields additive gains in salt tolerance and yield, establishing a novel workflow linking evolutionary genomics, molecular mechanisms, and breeding applications via the module

Identification of a Pair of Linear or Cyclic Naturally Inspired Bifunctional Lipopeptide Antibiotics That Overcome Antimicrobial Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The underexplored bacterial genus Aquimarina harbors a large biosynthetic potential for discovering new antibiotics. Here, the authors identify a pair of linear or cyclic bifunctional cationic lipopeptide antibiotics, aquicidine L and C4, inspired by the aquicidine gene cluster from Aquimarina.

A Transmembrane Protein WAI‐B2 Confers Multiple Disease Resistance in Wheat by Activating Autoimmunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wheat production is under threat from multiple diseases. This study clones the wheat autoimmunity gene WAI‐B2 from an EMS‐induced mutant that encodes a distinct transmembrane protein conferring resistance to wheat rusts and powdery mildew ‐ two major diseases affecting wheat crops.

Genome‐Wide Protein Interaction Analysis in Parasitic Gyrodactylus Flatworms–Fish Hosts System and Drug Target Identification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genomic data offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular interactions between parasites and their hosts, but they remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. This study presents the first high‐quality phased genome assembly for monogeneans (Gyrodactylus kobayashii), and uses it to predict key interacting proteins between monogenean parasite ‐

A Forward Genetics Strategy for High‐Throughput Gene Identification via Precise Image‐Based Phenotyping of an Indexed EMS Mutant Library

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The GeneHunter‐Gene‐Level Association (GH‐GLA) pipeline enables high‐throughput gene identification in an indexed EMS population of wheat cultivar KN9204. It identifies 5905 trait‐associated wheat genes and validates key regulators of kernel weight and spikelet architecture via gene editing and haplotype analysis.
