Phytophthora Disrupts Plant Immunity by Manipulating Nitric Oxide Homeostasis Through GSNOR Inhibition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phytophthora capsici effector PcRD18 targets tomato GSNOR to disrupt NO homeostasis, promoting S‐nitrosylation of immune proteins like RBOHD. This suppresses ROS bursts and promotes pathogen infection. Mutation of the PcRD18‐binding sites of GSNOR avoids pathogen manipulation and offers a strategy to enhance crop resistance. Abstract Nitric oxide (NO),

Visualization and Quantification of Transposon Activity in Caenorhabditis elegans RNAi Pathway Mutants

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
RNA silencing pathways play critical roles in maintaining quiescence of transposons in germ cells to promote genome integrity. However the precise mechanism by which different types of transposons are recognized by these pathways is not fully understood.

HPD is an RNA‐Binding Protein Sustaining Ovarian Cancer Cell Glycolysis, Tumor Growth, and Drug Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HPD is identified as an RNA‐binding protein that promotes mRNA translation by binding to RRACH motifs via its double‐stranded RNA‐binding domains. This RNA‐binding activity critically sustains glycolysis in ovarian cancer cells. Disrupting HPD's RNA‐binding function effectively suppresses tumor growth and enhances therapeutic sensitivity, highlighting ...

ER‐phagy Activation by AMFR Attenuates Cardiac Fibrosis Post‐Myocardial Infarction via mTORC1 Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By catalyzing FAM134B ubiquitination and activating ER‐phagy, AMFR alleviates progressive fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction by inhibiting the mTORC1 pathway. Consequently, these findings underscore the essential role of AMFR‐driven ER‐phagy in mitigating the progression of fibrotic responses, offering a potential therapeutic target for preventing heart ...

Intermediate Filament Protein BFSP2 Controls Spindle Formation via HSC70‐Mediated Stabilization of CLTC During Oocyte meiosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that has different regulation and mechanisms with mitosis in numerous aspects. Particularly, meiosis I is unique and occurs only in germ cells to separate homologous chromosomes. Thus, determining how this unusual chromosome segregation behavior is established is central to understanding germ cell ...

RNAi-Mediated Management of Whitefly Bemisia tabaci by Oral Delivery of Double-stranded RNAs

Proceedings, 2019
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a significant global pest of economically important vegetable, fibre, and ornamental crops. Whiteflies directly damage the plants by piercing and sucking essential nutrients, indirectly through ...

CRISPR Screening Reveals a Novel Role for FOXH1 in Regulating Pluripotency of Porcine Embryonic Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study performs dual CRISPR screens in pEPSCs. Fitness screening identifies essential genes for viability, while FACS‐based screening uncovers core pluripotency factors. It highlights FOXH1 as a key regulator that maintains the stem cell state through a dual‐action mechanism: preserving pluripotency by enhancing chromatin accessibility and ...

Approaches to repurposing reverse transcriptase antivirals in cancer

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review highlights the role of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition in cellular regulation associated with non‐terminal repeat retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses. Based on their pleiotropic characteristics, RT inhibitors (RTIs) are discussed as potential anticancer agents.

RNAi is a critical determinant of centromere evolution in closely related fungi

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance The “centromere paradox” refers to rapidly evolving and highly diverse centromere DNA sequences even in closely related eukaryotes. However, factors contributing to this rapid divergence are largely unknown.
