| 1 | Critical function of DNA methyltransferase 1 in tomato development and regulation of the DNA methylome and transcriptome显示文摘DNA methylation confers epigenetic regulation on gene expression and thereby on various biological processes.Tomato has emerged as an excellent system to study the function of DNA methylation in plant development.To date,regulation and function of DNA methylation maintenance remains unclear in tomato plants.Here,we report the critical function of tomato(Solanum lycopersicum)Methyltransferase 1(Sl MET1)in plant development and DNA methylome and transcriptome regulation.Using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing,we generated slmet1 mutants and observed severe developmental defects with a frame-shift mutation,including small and curly leaves,defective inflorescence,and parthenocarpy.In leaf tissues,mutations in Sl MET1 caused CG hypomethylation and CHH hypermethylationon a whole-genome scale,leading to a disturbed transcriptome including ectopic expression of many RIN target genes such as ACC2 in leaf tissues,which are normally expressed in fruits.Neither the CG hypomethylation nor CHH hypermethylation in the slmet1 mutants is related to tissue culture.Meanwhile,tissue culture induces non-CG hypomethylation,which occurs more frequently at gene regions than at TE regions.Our results depict Sl MET1-and tissue culture-dependent tomato DNA methylomes,and that Sl MET1 is required for maintaining a normal transcriptome and normal development of tomato. | Yu Yang Kai Tang Tatsiana U Datsenka Wenshan Liu Suhui Lv Zhaobo Lang Xingang Wang Jinghui Gao Wei Wang Wenfeng Nie Zhaoqing Chu Heng Zhang Avtar K HANDa Jian-Kang Zhu Huiming Zhang | 2019 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2019,61,12: | 3 |
| 2 | The LRXs-RALFs-FER module controls plant growth and salt stress responses by modulating multiple plant hormones显示文摘Salt stress is a major environmental factor limiting plant growth and productivity.We recently discovered an important new salt tolerance pathway,where the cell wall leucine-rich repeat extensins LRX3/4/5,the RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR(RALF)peptides RALF22/23 and receptor-like kinase FERONIA(FER)function as a module to simultaneously regulate plant growth and salt stress tolerance.However,the intracellular signaling pathways that are regulated by the extracellular LRX3/4/5-RALF22/23-FER module to coordinate growth,cell wall integrity and salt stress responses are still unknown.Here,we report that the LRX3/4/5-RALF22/23-FER module negatively regulates the levels of jasmonic acid(JA),salicylic acid(SA)and abscisic acid(ABA).Blocking JA pathway rescues the dwarf phenotype of the lrx345 and fer-4mutants,while disruption of ABA biosynthesis suppresses the salt-hypersensitivity of these mutants.Many salt stress-responsive genes display abnormal expression patterns in the lrx345 and fer-4 mutants,as well as in the wild type plants treated with epigallocatechin gallate(EGCG),an inhibitor of pectin methylesterases,suggesting cell wall integrity as a critical factor that determines the expression pattern of stress-responsive genes.Production of reactive oxygen species(ROS)is constitutively increased in the lrx345 and fer-4mutants,and inhibition of ROS accumulation suppresses the salt-hypersensitivity of these mutants.Together,our work provides strong evidence that the LRX3/4/5-RALF22/23-FER module controls plant growth and salt stress responses by regulating hormonal homeostasis and ROS accumulation. | Chunzhao Zhao Wei Jiang Omar Zayed Xin Liu Kai Tang Wenfeng Nie Yali Li Shaojun Xie Yuan Li Tiandan Long Linlin Liu Yingfang Zhu Yang Zhao Jian-Kang Zhu | 2021 | National Science Review2021,8,1: | 3 |
| 3 | Effect of sodium alginate/phosphate-stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate nanoparticles on chitosan membranes显示文摘Biodegradable chitosan(CS)films can meet the demand for sustainable development.However,the performance of pure CS membrane still exists a particular gap compared with the traditional film.Inorganic nanomaterials with the controllable release are added to improve its physical and chemical properties.Herein,a series of CS/phosphate-stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate(CS/ACCP)and CS/sodium alginate/ACCP(CS/Alginate/ACCP)composite films were prepared by the flow method.The effects of ACCP and Alginate/ACCP nanoparticles on the physical and chemical properties of the composite membrane were investigated.The results showed that the composite nanoparticles could significantly improve CS film’s compactness,hydrophobicity,and mechanical properties and enhance its ultraviolet(UV)blocking ability,water resistance,and water vapor blocking ability.When the number of nanoparticles was 8%,the mechanical properties of the CS composite membrane reached optimum value,and the comprehensive performance was better.In addition,the controlled-release properties of CS composite membranes were also studied,and the antioxidant,antibacterial,biocompatibility,and fresh-keeping effects of the composite membranes were explored.The results indicated that the CS composite membranes had not only excellent bacteriostatic(72%)properties(Escherichia coli)but also presented well fruit preservation(15 days)properties(sugar orange).In particular,the controlled release range of CS composite membrane at 12 h was between 30%and 90%,which provided a theoretical basis for its use as an edible membrane.Therefore,based on ACCP and Alginate/ACCP nanoparticles,CS composite membranes with more excellent application value in the biological field were prepared through further optimization design. | Bin Nie Hong Wang Yanwei Zhang Chaohui Rao Huifang Wang Xianghua Gao Wenfeng Li Baolong Niu | 2022 | Food Bioscience2022,46,2: | 1 |
| 4 | SWO1 modulates cell wall integrity under salt stress by interacting with importinɑin Arabidopsis显示文摘Maintenance of cell wall integrity is of great importance not only for plant growth and development,but also for the adaptation of plants to adverse environments.However,how the cell wall integrity is modulated under salt stress is still poorly understood.Here,we report that a nuclear-localized Agenet domain-containing protein SWO1(SWOLLEN 1)is required for the maintenance of cell wall integrity in Arabidopsis under salt stress.Mutation in SWO1 gene results in swollen root tips,disordered root cell morphology,and root elongation inhibition under salt stress.The swo1 mutant accumulates less cellulose and pectin but more lignin under high salinity.RNA-seq and ChIP-seq assays reveal that SWO1 binds to the promoter of several cell wall-related genes and regulates their expression under saline conditions.Further study indicates that SWO1 interacts with importinɑIMPA1 and IMPA2,which are required for the import of nuclear-localized proteins.The impa1 impa2 double mutant also exhibits root growth inhibition under salt stress and mutations of these two genes aggravate the salt-hypersensitive phenotype of the swo1 mutant.Taken together,our data suggest that SWO1 functions together with importinɑto regulate the expression of cell wall-related genes,which enables plants to maintain cell wall integrity under high salinity. | Zhidan Wang Mugui Wang Changhong Yang Lun Zhao Guochen Qin Li Peng Qijie Zheng Wenfeng Nie Chun-Peng Song Huazhong Shi Jian-Kang Zhu Chunzhao Zhao | 2021 | Stress Biology2021,1,1: | 0 |
| 5 | BacFlash signals acid-resistance gene expression in bacteria显示文摘Intracellular pH(pHi)homeostasis is crucial for cellular functions and signal transduction across all kingdoms of life.In particular,bacterial pHi homeostasis is important for physiology,ecology,and pathogenesis.Here we report an exquisite bacterial acid-resistance(AR)mechanism in which proton leak elicits a pre-emptive AR response.A single bacterial cell undergoes quantal electrochemical excitation,termed“BacFlash”,which consists of membrane depolarization,transient pHi rise,and bursting production of reactive oxygen species.BacFlash ignition is dictated by acid stress in the form of proton leak across the plasma membrane and the rate of BacFlash occurrence is reversely correlated with the pHi buffering capacity.Through genome-wide screening,we further identify the ATP synthase Fo complex subunit a as the putative proton sensor for BacFlash biogenesis.Importantly,persistent BacFlash hyperactivity activates transcription of a panel of key AR genes and predisposes the cells to survive imminent extreme acid stress.These findings demonstrate a prototypical coupling between electrochemical excitation and nucleoid gene expression in prokaryotes. | Di Wu Wenfeng Qi Wei Nie Zhengyuan Lu Yongxin Ye Jinghang Li Tao Sun Yufei Zhu Heping Cheng Xianhua Wang | 2021 | Cell Research2021,31,6: | 0 |
| 6 | The H3K9me2-binding protein AGDP3 limits DNA methylation and transcriptional gene silencing in Arabidopsis显示文摘DNA methylation,a conserved epigenetic mark,is critical for tuning temporal and spatial gene expression.The Arabidopsis thaliana DNA glycosylase/lyase REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1(ROS1)initiates active DNA demethylation and is required to prevent DNA hypermethylation at thousands of genomic loci.However,how ROS1 is recruited to specific loci is not well understood.Here,we report the discovery of Arabidopsis AGENET Domain Containing Protein 3(AGDP3)as a cellular factor that is required to prevent gene silencing and DNA hypermethylation.AGDP3 binds to H3K9me2 marks in its target DNA via its AGD12 cassette.Analysis of the crystal structure of the AGD12 cassette of AGDP3 in complex with an H3K9me2 peptide revealed that dimethylated H3 K9 and unmodified H3 K4 are specifically anchored into two different surface pockets.A histidine residue located in the methyllysine binding aromatic cage provides AGDP3 with pH-dependent H3K9me2 binding capacity.Our results uncover a molecular mechanism for the regulation of DNA demethylation by the gene silencing mark H3K9me2. | Xuelin Zhou Mengwei Wei Wenfeng Nie Yue Xi Li Peng Qijie Zheng Kai Tang Viswanathan Satheesh Yuhua Wang Jinyan Luo Xuan Du Rui Liu Zhenlin Yang Honggui La Yingli Zhong Yu Yang Jian-Kang Zhu Jiamu Du Mingguang Lei | 2022 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2022,64,12: | 0 |
| 7 | Preparation and functional study of pH-sensitive amorphous calcium phosphate nanocarriers显示文摘Recently,multifunctional nanoparticles have shown great prospects in cancer treatment,which have the ability to simultaneously deliver the drug,image and target tumor cells.In this paper,we designed a luminescent nanoparticles platform based on hydrothermal hyaluronic acid/amorphous calcium phosphate(HA-FCNs/ACP)with multifunctional properties for drug delivery,bio-imaging,and targeting treatment.HA-FCNs/ACP shows an ability to load curcumin(Cur)with pH-sensitive responsive drug release behavior and excellent biocompatibility.HA-FCNs/ACP dispersed in the cytoplasm through the overexpressed CD44 receptor that is actively targeted into human lung cancer cells(A549 cells).Meanwhile,the viability of A549 cells was significantly inhibited in vitro.The prepared HA-FCNs and HA-FCNs/ACP both exhibit excellent targeted bioimaging performance on cancer cells.Hence,the as-prepared nanoparticles have promising applications in treating tumor disease. | Baolong Niu Min Li Jianhong Jia Lixuan Ren Xin Gang Bin Nie Yanying Fan Xiaojie Lian Wenfeng Li | 2022 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2022,35,8: | 0 |
