| 1 | SQUAMOSA Promoter-Binding Protein-Like Transcription Factors:Star Players for Plant Growth and Development显示文摘SQUAMOSA Promoter-Binding Protein-Like (SPL) genes encode plantspecific transcription factors that play important roles in plant phase transition,flower and fruit development,plant architecture,gibberellins signaling,sporogenesis,and response to copper and fungal toxins.In Arabidopsis,many SPL genes are post-transcriptionally regulated by the microRNA (miRNA) miR156,among which AtSPL9 in turn positively regulates the expression of the second miRNA miR172.This miR156AtSPL9-miR172 regulatory pathway plays critical roles during juvenile to adult leaf development and the miR156-SPLs feedback interaction persists all through the plant development,which may be conserved in other plants.In the present paper,we provide a concise review on the most recent progress in the regulatory mechanisms associated with plant SPL transcription factors,especially in relation to miRNAs.The potential application of these discoveries in agriculture is briefly discussed. | Xiaobo Chen Zenglin Zhang Danmei Liu Kai Zhang Aili Li Long Mao | 2010 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2010,52,11: | 31 |
| 2 | Hydrogen sulfide promotes flowering in heading Chinese cabbage by S-sulfhydration of BraFLCs显示文摘Heading Chinese cabbage(Brassica rapa L.syn.B.campestris L.ssp.chinensis Makino var.pekinensis(Rupr.)J.Cao et Sh.Cao)is a cruciferous Brassica vegetable that has a triplicate genome,owing to an ancient genome duplication event.It is unclear whether the duplicated homologs have conserved or diversi fied functions.Hydrogen sulfide(H_(2)S)is a plant gasotransmitter that plays important physiological roles in growth,development,and responses to environmental stresses.The modification of cysteines through S-sulfhydration is an important mechanism of H_(2)S,which regulates protein functions.H?S promotes flowering in Arabidopsis and heading Chinese cabbage.Here we investigated the molecular mechanisms of H_(2)S used to promote flowering in the latter.Four,five,and four BraFLC,BraSOC I,and BraFT homologs were identi fi ed in heading Chinese cabbage.Different BraFLC proteins were bound to different CArG boxes in the promoter regions of the BraSOC I and BraFT homologs,producing different binding patterns.Thus,there may be functionally diverse BraFLC homologs in heading Chinese cabbage.Exogenous H_(2)S at 100μmol L^(-1) significantly promoted flowering by compensating for insuf fi cient vernalization.BraFLC 1 and BraFLC_(3) underwent S-sulfhydration by H_(2)S,after which their abilities to bind most BraSOC I or BraFT promoter probes weakened or even disappeared.These changes in binding ability were consistent with the expression pattern of the BraFT and BraSOC I homologs in seedlings treated with H_(2)S.These results indicated that H_(2)S signaling regulates flowering time.In summary,H_(2)S signaling promoted plant flowering by weakening or eliminating the binding abilities of BraFLCs to downstream promoters through S-sulfhydration. | Xiaoli Ma Liping Zhang Zhuoya Pei Linlin Zhang Zhiqiang Liu Danmei Liu Xuefeng Hao Zhuping Jin Yanxi Pei | 2021 | Horticulture Research2021,8,1: | 6 |
| 3 | Hydrogen sulfide inhibits ethylene-induced petiole abscission in tomato(Solanum lycopersicum L.)显示文摘Abscission is a dynamic physiological process that is ubiquitous in plants and can also be an essential agronomic trait in crops,thus attracting attention from plant growers and breeders.In general,the process of plant organ abscission can be divided into four steps,among which the step to obtain the competence to respond to abscission signals(step 2)is the most complex;however,the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains unclear.In this study,we found that hydrogen sulfide(H_(2)S)inhibited the abscission of the tomato petiole in a dose-dependent manner,and the abscission of the petiole was accelerated when an H_(2)S scavenger was applied.Further enzymatic activity and gene expression analyses showed that H_(2)S suppressed the activity of enzymes capable of modifying the cell wall by inhibiting the usual upregulation of the transcription of the corresponding genes during the abscission process but not by affecting the activities of these enzymes by direct posttranslational modification.H_(2)S treatment upregulated the expression levels of SlIAA3 and SlIAA4 but downregulated the transcription of ILR-L3 and ILR-L4 in the earlier stages of the abscission process,indicating that H_(2)S probably functioned in the second step of the abscission process by preventing the abscission zone cells from obtaining the competence to respond to abscission signals by modulating the content of the bioactive-free auxin in these cells.Moreover,similar H_(2)S inhibitory effects were also demonstrated in the process of floral organ abscission and anther dehiscence in other plant species,suggesting a ubiquitous role for H_(2)S in cell separation processes. | Danmei Liu Jianing Li Zhuowen Li Yanxi Pei | 2020 | Horticulture Research2020,7,1: | 4 |
| 4 | Mechanical activation of spike fosters SARS-CoV-2 viral infection显示文摘The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2(SARS2)has caused a global COVID-19 pandemic.The spike protein of SARS2(SARS2-S)recognizes host receptors,including ACE2,to initiate viral entry in a complex biomechanical environment.Here,we reveal that tensile force,generated by bending of the host cell membrane,strengthens spike recognition of ACE2 and accelerates the detachment of spike’s S1 subunit from the S2 subunit to rapidly prime the viral fusion machinery.Mechanistically,such mechano-activation is fulfilled by force-induced opening and rotation of spike’s receptor-binding domain to prolong the bond lifetime of spike/ACE2 binding,up to 4 times longer than that of SARS-S binding with ACE2 under 10 pN force application,and subsequently by force-accelerated S1/S2 detachment which is up to~103 times faster than that in the no-force condition.Interestingly,the SARS2-S D614G mutant,a more infectious variant,shows 3-time stronger force-dependent ACE2 binding and 35-time faster force-induced S1/S2 detachment.We also reveal that an anti-S1/S2 non-RBD-blocking antibody that was derived from convalescent COVID-19 patients with potent neutralizing capability can reduce S1/S2 detachment by 3×106 times under force.Our study sheds light on the mechano-chemistry of spike activation and on developing a non-RBD-blocking but S1/S2-locking therapeutic strategy to prevent SARS2 invasion. | Wei Hu Yong Zhang Panyu Fei Tongtong Zhang Danmei Yao Yufei Gao Jia Liu Hui Chen Qiao Lu Tenny Mudianto Xinrui Zhang Chuxuan Xiao Yang Ye Qiming Sun Jing Zhang Qi Xie Pei-Hui Wang Jun Wang Zhenhai Li Jizhong Lou Wei Chen | 2021 | Cell Research2021,31,10: | 2 |

| 6 | 机械力诱导MHC-Ⅰ构象变化增强TCR抗原识别及T细胞活化显示文摘CD8+T细胞主要通过T细胞表面受体(T cell recep tor,TCR)识别并与Ⅰ型主要组织性复合物提呈的抗原(pMHC-Ⅰ)相互作用[1]。TCR对刺激型抗原的识别在CD8+T细胞毒性和适应性免疫中发挥着关键作用。许多证据表明机械力可以延长TCR与刺激性pMHC作用的键合时间(bond lifetime)形成抗原特异性逆锁键(catch bond)[2],并且这种逆锁键对抗原识别非常重要。然而,机械力调控TCR抗原识别的具体结构机制仍不清楚。通过分子动力学模拟、单分子生物膜力学探针、磁镊、T细胞活化实验和动物模型对此问题展开了系统的研究[4]。发现作用在TCR-pMHC-Ⅰ复合体上的拉力可以作用在TCR-pMHC-Ⅰ复合体上的拉力可以打破MHC-I分子内部α1-α2和β2结构域间的相互作用,导致α1-α2结构域旋转并发生构象变化。力诱导的MHC-I构象变化可以进一步别构地调节TCR与刺激性抗原肽及α1-α2结构域的构象及相互作用,诱导产生新的氢键,增强TCR-pMHC-Ⅰ之间的键合时间,但并不能增强TCR与抑制性pMHC-Ⅰ之间的作用。当用点突变阻断这些新形成的氢键,或者α1-α2和β2结构域被二硫键锁住时,最佳力诱导的TCR-pMHC-Ⅰ作用的键合时间明显缩短并且T细胞的活化受到抑制。另外,在人TCR和HLA-A2相互作用中发现了类似机制,并且与肿瘤相关的HLA-A2点突变[3]可以通过限制HLA-A2α1--α2和β2结构域之间的构象打开减弱TCR对肿瘤抗原的识别及T细胞的功能。研究结果表明,机械力诱导的MHC-I构象变化对TCR抗原识别和T细胞活化非常重要,进一步地阐明了机械力调控TCR抗原识别机制,为临床肿瘤的免疫治疗和药物设计提供了新思路和新靶点。 | Peng Wu Tongtong Zhang Baoyu Liu Panyu Fei Lei Cui Rui Qin Huaying Zhu Danmei Yao Ryan Martinez Wei Hu Chenyi An Yong Zhang Junwei Liu Weiwei Yin Jie Sun Chun Zhou Xun Zeng Jianan Wang Brian Evavold Cheng Zhu Jizhong Lou Wei Chen | 2019 | 医用生物力学2019,34,A01: | 0 |
