View SamplesThe cysteine-rich PLAC8 domain occurs in proteins found in the majority of Eukaryotes. PLAC8-containing proteins play important yet diverse roles in different organisms, such as control of cell proliferation in animals and plants or heavy metals resistance in plants and fungi. For example, Onzin from Mus musculus is a key regulator of cell proliferation, whereas FCR1 from the ascomycete Oidiodendron maius is involved in cadmium resistance. We compared these two PLAC8-containing proteins by heterologous expression in the PLAC8-free yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in order to identify possible common functions. When expressed in yeast, both Onzin and FCR1 improved yeast cadmium resistance, reduced cadmium-induced DNA mutagenesis, localized in the nucleus and induced similar transcriptional changes. Our results support the hypothesis of a common ancestral function of the PLAC8 domain that may link Fe-S cluster biogenesis, iron homeostasis and the control of DNA damage, thus opening new perspectives to understand the role of this protein domain in the cellular biology of eukaryotes.

View SamplesCoat color mainly reflects pigmentation resulting from melanin. Wool color is one of the most visible and heritable traits in sheep. Although several detailed molecular mechanisms involved in coat color have been elucidated, our understanding of differences in gene expression patterns of wool color-related genes in Chinese Merino (Junken type) is limited. We employed the Affymetrix microarray to identify differentially expressed genes. 122 genes were differentially expressed, consisting of 117 upregulated and 5 downregulated genes that were related to black/brown skin. The expression level of the BMP2, BMP4, TYRP1, LEPR, DCT, BMPR1A, and TP45A genes was validated by qRT-PCR, and the results coincided with those of microarray. The expression level of ASIP in the black/brown group was significantly lower than that of the white group, suggesting that this plays a key role in the regulation of wool pigmentation. Some cloned color genes (MITF, MC1R, GPR143, and KIT) showed no significant differences in expression levels between the black/brown- and white-skinned sheep. Functional annotation by using Gene Ontology (GO) showed that the differentially expressed genes enriched specific GO terms, particularly those relating to melanin biosynthesis and metabolic processes. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the categories of tyrosine metabolism and melanogenesis pathway were enriched with differentially expressed genes. Taken together, the present study has shown that the tyrosine metabolism pathway plays an essential role in regulating wool color. The findings of this study may also be utilized in the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms and relationship between genes and wool color in Chinese Merino (Junken type).

View SamplesIntercropping is a vital technology in resource-limited agricultural systems with low inputs. Peanut/maize intercropping enhances iron (Fe) nutrition in calcareous soil. Proteomic studies of the differences in peanut leaves, maize leaves and maize roots between intercropping and monocropping systems indicated that peanut/maize intercropping not only improves Fe availability in the rhizosphere but also influences the levels of proteins related to carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Moreover, intercropping may enhance stress resistance in the peanut plant (Xiong et al. 2013b). Although the mechanism and molecular ecological significance of peanut/maize intercropping have been investigated, little is known about the genes and/or gene products in peanut and maize roots that mediate the benefits of intercropping. In the present study, we investigated the transcriptomes of maize roots grown in intercropping and monocropping systems by microarray analysis. The results enabled exploration differentially expressed genes in intercropped maize.
