The binding of small molecules to distinctive three-dimensional structures in mRNA provides a new dimension in RNA control, previously limited to the targeting of secondary structures with antisense and RNA interference; such targeting can modulate mRNA function and rates of protein biosynthesis. Small molecules that selectively bind the iron-responsive element (IRE), a specific three-dimension...

The present study reports in silico investigation of bioactive compounds from marine microalgae capable escalating copepod fecundity potential through enhanced heat shock protein (HSP-70) production. structure ligand (bioactive microalgae) and hsp-70 obtained the databases PubChem Protein Data Bank (PDB), respectively. Molecular Docking was performed by GOLD software interaction pathways using ...

This study investigated how salicylic acid (SA) mediates the response of melon (Cucumis melo) seeds to salt stress using physiological and transcriptomic methods. The effects SA on antioxidant enzymes, osmoregulatory substances, transcriptome under were sodium chloride (NaCl, 100 mmol·L−1) as stimulant + NaCl (0.25 mmol·L−1 alleviation treatment. results showed that positively influences tolera...

Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most important oilseed crops. However, regulatory mechanism that governs process oil accumulation in soybean remains poorly understood. In this study, GmZF392, a tandem CCCH zinc finger (TZF) protein which was identified our previous RNA-seq analysis seed-preferred transcription factors, found to function as positive regulator lipid production. GmZF392 promot...

Siroheme, an iron-containing tetrapyrrole, is the prosthetic group of nitrite reductase (NiR) and sulfite reductase (SiR); it is synthesized from uroporphyrinogen III, an intermediate of chlorophyll biosynthesis, and is required for nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) assimilation. Further, uroporphyrinogen III methyltransferase (UPM1), responsible for two methylation reactions to form dihydrosirohydro...

Cinnamomum camphora (L.) Presl essential oil (CCEO) is a volatile with aroma and extracted from various tissues of Cinnamomumcamphora. It traditionally used as spice, preservative, an anti-inflammatory for sterilization. Terpenoids are the main active components in CCEO. Based on currently available research, considerable effort still needed to study biosynthesis regulation terpenoids In this r...

Ethylene Overproduction 1 (ETO1) is a negative regulator of ethylene biosynthesis. However, the regulation mechanism ETO1 remains largely unclear. Here, novel eto1 allele ( eto1-16 ) was isolated with typical triple phenotypes due to an amino acid substitution G480C in uncharacterized linker sequence between TPR1 and TPR2 motifs. Further genetic biochemical experiments confirmed mutation site. ...

Histone acetylation modification significantly affects secondary metabolism in filamentous fungi. However, how histone regulates metabolite synthesis the lovastatin (a lipid-lowering drug) producing Aspergillus terreus remains unknown because protein is involved and has been identified this species. Here, fungal-specific deacetylase gene, hstD, was characterized through functional genomics two ...
