Fusion between virus and host membranes is critical for viruses to release genetic materials and to initiate infection. Whereas most viruses use a single protein for membrane fusion, a multi-protein entry-fusion complex (EFC) is necessary for cell entry by poxviruses, which cause important diseases such as smallpox and monkeypox.

Considering factors such as human immune rejection, limited organ donations, and restrictions on their preservation methods, organ transplantation has been in a state of short supply globally. Stem cell research has been steadfast in regenerative medicine to address this medical need. However, due to concerns about the safety and controversy surrounding cell sources, it remains difficult to conduct research and apply it clinically. If stem cells can be returned to their most primitive form through gene regulation, in the future, it will no longer be just a dream to cultivate our own organs from autologous cells.

Pathogenic fungi convert chitin to chitosan to evade plant perception and disarm chitin-triggered immune responses. Whether plants have evolved factors to counteract this evasion mechanism remains obscure. Here, we decipher the mechanism underlying the antifungal activity of maize secretory mannose-binding cysteine-rich receptor-like secreted protein (CRRSP), antifungal protein 1 (AFP1).

Distinct phylogeny and substrate specificities suggest that 12 Arabidopsis Ovarian Tumor domain-containing (OTU) deubiquitinases participate in conserved or plant-specific functions. The otu5-1 null mutant displayed a pleiotropic phenotype, including early flowering, mimicking that of mutants harboring defects in subunits (e.g., ARP6) of the SWR1 complex (SWR1c) involved in histone H2A.Z deposition.
