Genome-wide identification, classification, and expression analysis of the JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase gene family in birch

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Histone methylation occurs primarily on lysine residues and requires a set of enzymes capable of reading, writing, and erasing to control its establishment and deletion, which is essential for maintaining chromatin structure and gene ...

ROS homeostasis and cell wall biosynthesis pathway are involved in female inflorescence development of birch (Betula platyphylla)

BMC Plant Biology
Background Female inflorescence development from megasporogenesis to gametogenesis, and mature female gametophyte (FG), is a complex and important event in plant sexual reproduction. However, how this essential developmental process is regulated in birch

Reduced turnover rate of topsoil organic carbon in old-growth forests: a case study in subtropical China

Forest Ecosystems, 2021
Background Old-growth forests are irreplaceable with respect to climate change mitigation and have considerable carbon (C) sink potential in soils. However, the relationship between the soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover rate and forest development is ...

The C‐terminal domain of yeast Arginyltransferase1 is essential for its catalytic activity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Arginyltransferase 1 (Ate1), a eukaryotic enzyme, catalyses arginylation, transferring arginine from tRNA‐Arg to the amino terminus of the target protein. Overexpression of Ate1 in yeast is lethal and is dependent on arginylation. This study elucidates how mutations in the cofactor‐binding and active site of Ate1 and truncation of its structural ...
