Wild Sorghum as a Promising Resource for Crop Improvement

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a multipurpose food crop which is ranked among the top five cereal crops in the world, and is used as a source of food, fodder, feed, and fuel. The genus Sorghum consists of 24 diverse species.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

TetraRNA, a tetra-class machine learning model for deciphering the coding potential derivation of RNA world

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
CncRNAs (coding and noncoding RNAs) are a class of bifunctional RNAs that that has both coding and noncoding biological activity. An increasing number of cncRNAs are being identified, prompting reassessment of our knowledge of RNA. However, most existing

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

A revised classification of Dryopteridaceae based on plastome phylogenomics and morphological evidence, with the description of a new genus, Pseudarachniodes

Plant Diversity
Dryopteridaceae are the largest fern family and include nearly 20% of extant fern diversity, with 24 currently recognized genera. Recognition and delineation of genera within this family have varied greatly.

The Mating System of the Wild-to-Domesticated Complex of Gossypium hirsutum L. Is Mixed

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The domestication syndrome of many plants includes changes in their mating systems. The evolution of the latter is shaped by ecological and genetic factors that are particular to an area.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Multifaceted plant diversity patterns across the Himalaya: Status and outlook

Plant Diversity
Mountains serve as exceptional natural laboratories for studying biodiversity due to their heterogeneous landforms and climatic zones. The Himalaya, a global biodiversity hotspot, hosts rich endemic flora, supports vital ecosystem functions, and offers a
