Methyl jasmonate elicitation of common bean seedlings induces nucleotidase activity and the expression of several nucleotidase genes in radicles

Biologia Plantarum, 2021
Nucleotides are the basic elements of the genetic material, participate in bio-energetic processes, are cofactors and components of secondary metabolites, etc. Nucleotide hydrolases (nucleotidases) are phosphatases that remove the 5'-phosphate group from

Embedded CRISPRi Enhances Gene‐Silencing Efficiency in Drosophila

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) technology in Drosophila has limited efficiency. This study introduces the emCRISPRi platform, which significantly enhances transcriptional silencing efficacy by embedding inhibitory domains within the dCas9 architecture.

Increased Adenine Nucleotide Degradation in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy [PDF]

, 2019
Adenine nucleotides (AdNs: ATP, ADP, AMP) are essential biological compounds that facilitate many necessary cellular processes by providing chemical energy, mediating intracellular signaling, and regulating protein metabolism and solubilization.

Engineering Compact Base Editors by AlphaFold‐Guided Mutation Scan and Escherichia coli‐Based Tri‐Selection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A miniaturized deaminase SsdAtox was scanned with AlphaFold to identify DNA binding pocket hot spots. Site‐saturation mutagenesis at gatekeeper residue K31 yielded ten‐fold activity enhancement. Trinity Screen, an E. coli‐based three‐in‐one platform selecting for high activity and reduced double‐strand breaks, enabled combinatorial evolution at DNA ...

Mechanosensitive Hydrolysis of ATP and ADP in Lamina Propria of the Murine Bladder by Membrane-Bound and Soluble Nucleotidases

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Prior studies suggest that urothelium-released adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) has a prominent role in bladder mechanotransduction. Urothelial ATP regulates the micturition cycle through activation of purinergic receptors that are expressed in many cell ...

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.

Nucleotide-, chemotactic peptide- and phorbol ester-induced exocytosis in HL-60 leukemic cells [PDF]

, 1990
Undifferentiated and differentiated HL-60 leukemic cells possess nucleotide receptors which functionally couple to phospholipase C via pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins).

A Functionally Conserved Enhancer is Critical for PGC1A Expression and Thermogenesis in Brown Fat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An evolutionarily conserved enhancer controls PGC1A expression and thermogenic activation in brown adipose tissue. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify two BAT‐specific enhancers, with PGC1A‐En1 functioning as the dominant regulatory element that maintains thermogenic capacity across species.
