Important Research

 
 
 
 
Virulence and ecology of agrobacteria in the context of evolutionary genomics

 
Agrobacteria are important plant pathogens that impact agriculture, as well as a critical genetic transformation tool for basic research in plant sciences and application in agricultural biotechnology.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Trade-off between local replication and long-distance dissemination during experimental evolution of a satellite RNA

 
Satellite RNAs (satRNAs) are molecular parasites that depend on their non-homologous helper viruses (HVs) for essential biological functions. While there are multiple molecular and phylogenetic studies on satRNAs, there is no experimental evolution study on how satRNAs may evolve in common infection conditions.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CryoEM Reveals Mechanism Behind Polymyxin-Resistant Infections

 
In the escalating fight against drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, polymyxins are a last resort. Alarming is the rise of polymyxin-resistant infections, a major public health threat.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Autism-related KLHL17 and SYNPO act in concert to control activity-dependent dendritic spine enlargement and the spine apparatus

 
A research team led by Dr. Yi-Ping Hsueh, Distinguished Research Fellow at the Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinca used high-end optical microscopy and biochemical approaches to demonstrate that KLHL17 and SYNPO, two autism-linked proteins, act in concert to regulate the organization and distribution of the spine apparatus, a specialized endoplasmic reticulum structure at excitatory synapses.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Structural convergence endows nuclear transport receptor Kap114p with a transcriptional repressor function toward TATA-binding protein

The Battle between Pathogenic Fungi and Plant Hosts: Fungal Strategies_Part 1

 
The Pathogenesis-related-1 (PR-1) family proteins are present in all kingdoms of life. During the co-evolutionary arms race, fungal pathogen PR-1 homologs (PR-1-like) evolved to counteract the action of plant PR-1, facilitating colonization.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CIPK15-mediated inhibition of NH4+transport protects Arabidopsis from submergence

 
Nitrogen is widely recognized as a crucial element for plants due to its role as a fundamental building block for essential macromolecules such as nucleic acids, amino acids, and proteins.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The modulation of pulmonary group 2 innate lymphoid cell function in asthma: from inflammatory mediators to environmental and metabolic factors

 
A dysregulated type 2 immune response is one of the fundamental causes of allergic asthma. Although Th2 cells are undoubtedly central to the pathogenesis of allergic asthma, the discovery of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) has added another layer of complexity to the etiology of this chronic disease.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Extracellular calcium functions as a molecular glue for transmembrane helices to activate the scramblase Xkr4

 
The "eat me" signal, phosphatidylserine is exposed on the surface of dying cells by phospholipid scrambling. Previously, we showed that the Xkr family protein Xkr4 is activated by caspase-mediated cleavage and binding of the XRCC4 fragment.
