Natural Allelic Variations in IbCHYR1–IbZnFR Complex Regulate Fusarium Root Rot Resistance in Sweet Potato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FfRlpA2, a conserved Fusarium effector, functions as a protease inhibitor by hijacking the E3 ubiquitin ligase IbCHYR1 to degrade the resistance factor IbZnFR, thereby promoting Fusarium pathogenicity. Conversely, the high dosage Pro::IbZnFRHap2 allele was associated with resistance to root rot disease.

A Two‐Component Pseudo‐Icosahedral Protein Nanocompartment with Variable Shell Composition and Irregular Tiling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The structure and assembly principles of a two‐component encapsulin nanocompartment shell are reported. The two‐component protein compartment self‐assembles from two distinct HK97‐fold shell proteins into a pseudo‐icosahedral protein shell with variable composition and irregular tiling.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Polynucleotide Phosphorylase Contributes to Ciprofloxacin Resistance by Regulating PrtR

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that causes various acute and chronic infections. It is intrinsically resistant to a variety of antibiotics. However, production of pyocins during SOS response sensitizes P.

Presence of a classical RRM-fold palm domain in Thg1-type 3'- 5'nucleic acid polymerases and the origin of the GGDEF and CRISPR polymerase domains

Biology Direct, 2010
Background Almost all known nucleic acid polymerases catalyze 5'-3' polymerization by mediating the attack on an incoming nucleotide 5' triphosphate by the 3'OH from the growing polynucleotide chain in a template dependent or independent manner. The only

Linker region is required for efficient nuclear localization of polynucleotide kinase phosphatase.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Polynucleotide kinase phosphatase (PNKP) is a DNA repair factor with dual enzymatic functions, i.e., phosphorylation of 5'-end and dephosphorylation of 3'-end, which are prerequisites for DNA ligation and, thus, is involved in multiple DNA repair ...

Biologically‐oriented alveolar ridge preservation to correct bone dehiscence at immediate implant placement

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The purpose of the present case study is to describe the application of a modification of the Biologically‐oriented Alveolar Ridge Preservation (BARP) principles in cases of peri‐implant bone dehiscence (PIBD) due to a compromised alveolus at immediate implant placement (IIP).
