Micro/nanoplastics pollution: emerging challenges for aquatic animals and food crops

Frontiers in Toxicology
Recent reports from worldwide reveal that micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) are pervasive pollutants affecting all ecosystems and a wide range of organisms, including animals, plants, fish, humans, and microorganisms.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Effect of artificial and natural diets on the morphometrics and biology of Sesamia inferens (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology
Background Sesamia inferens is a polyphagous pest severely impacting gramineous crops (e.g., rice, wheat, maize) across Asia, causing "dead heart" and "white ear" damage.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Root growth, yield and stress tolerance of soybean to transient waterlogging under different climatic regimes

Scientific Reports
Global warming-induced abiotic stresses, such as waterlogging, significantly threaten crop yields. Increased rainfall intensity in recent years has exacerbated waterlogging severity, especially in lowlands and heavy soils.

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Unveiling drought-tolerant mungbean genotypes through integrated multi-trait selection

Scientific Reports
Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek var. radiata) is a highly nutritious legume grown in diverse cropping systems. However, its productivity is often hindered by abiotic stresses, particularly drought, which significantly impacts yield during ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Net carbon-dioxide exchange in green manuring ecosystem,sesbaniaaculeata: assessment through eddy covariance approach

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2014
Fluxes of CO2 from a green manuring crop,dhaincha(Sesbaniaaculeata) grown on a marginal (shallow basaltic) soil were quantified using the open path eddy covariance technique and the characteristics were related to various environmental parameters.
