RNA silencing in plants and insects can function as a defence mechanism against invading viruses. RNA silencing-based antiviral defence entails the production of virus-derived small interfering RNAs which guide specific antiviral effector complexes to inactivate viral genomes. As a response to this defence system, viruses have evolved viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) to overcome the host defence. VSRs can act on various steps of the different silencing pathways. Viral infection can have a profound impact on the host endogenous RNA silencing regulatory pathways; alterations of endogenous short RNA expression profile and gene expression are often associated with viral infections and their symptoms. Here we discuss our current understanding of the main steps of RNA-silencing responses to viral invasion in plants and the effects of VSRs on endogenous pathways. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: MicroRNAs in viral gene regulation. 相似文献

We isolated differentially expressed and dark-responsive genes during flower development and opening in petals of morning glory.Abstract
Flower opening usually depends on petal expansion and is regulated by both genetic and environmental factors. Flower opening in morning glory (Ipomoea nil) is controlled by the dark/light regime just prior to opening. Opening was normal after 8- or 12-h dark periods but progressed very slowly after a 4-h dark period or in continuous light. Four genes (InXTH1–InXTH4) encoding xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolases (XTHs) and three genes (InEXPA1–InEXPA3) encoding alpha-expansins (EXPAs) were isolated. The expression patterns of InXTH2, InXTH3, and InXTH4 in petals were closely correlated with the rate of flower opening controlled by the length of the dark period prior to opening, but those of the EXPA genes were not. The expression pattern of InXTH1 gene was closely correlated with petal elongation. Suppression subtractive hybridization was used to isolate dark-responsive genes accompanying flower opening. The expressions of ten isolated genes were associated with the length of the dark period prior to flower opening. One gene was highly homologous to Arabidopsis PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR7, which is associated with the circadian clock and phytochrome signaling; another to Arabidopsis REVEILLE1, which affects the output of the circadian clock. Other genes were related to light responses, plant hormone effects and signal transduction. The possible roles of these genes in regulation of flower opening are discussed. 相似文献24.

Once adherens junctions (AJs) are formed between polarized epithelial cells they must be maintained because AJs are constantly remodeled in dynamic epithelia. AJ maintenance involves endocytosis and subsequent recycling of E-cadherin to a precise location along the basolateral membrane. In the Drosophila pupal eye epithelium, Rho1 GTPase regulates AJ remodeling through Drosophila E-cadherin (DE-cadherin) endocytosis by limiting Cdc42/Par6/aPKC complex activity. We demonstrate that Rho1 also influences AJ remodeling by regulating the formation of DE-cadherin–containing, Rab11-positive recycling endosomes in Drosophila postmitotic pupal eye epithelia. This effect of Rho1 is mediated through Rok-dependent, but not MLCK-dependent, stimulation of myosin II activity yet independent of its effects upon actin remodeling. Both Rho1 and pMLC localize on endosomal vesicles, suggesting that Rho1 might regulate the formation of recycling endosomes through localized myosin II activation. This work identifies spatially distinct functions for Rho1 in the regulation of DE-cadherin–containing vesicular trafficking during AJ remodeling in live epithelia. 相似文献

Microbial communities from a subseafloor sediment core from the southwestern Sea of Okhotsk were evaluated by performing both cultivation-dependent and cultivation-independent (molecular) analyses. The core, which extended 58.1 m below the seafloor, was composed of pelagic clays with several volcanic ash layers containing fine pumice grains. Direct cell counting and quantitative PCR analysis of archaeal and bacterial 16S rRNA gene fragments indicated that the bacterial populations in the ash layers were approximately 2 to 10 times larger than those in the clays. Partial sequences of 1,210 rRNA gene clones revealed that there were qualitative differences in the microbial communities from the two different types of layers. Two phylogenetically distinct archaeal assemblages in the Crenarchaeota, the miscellaneous crenarchaeotic group and the deep-sea archaeal group, were the most predominant archaeal 16S rRNA gene components in the ash layers and the pelagic clays, respectively. Clones of 16S rRNA gene sequences from members of the gamma subclass of the class Proteobacteria dominated the ash layers, whereas sequences from members of the candidate division OP9 and the green nonsulfur bacteria dominated the pelagic clay environments. Molecular (16S rRNA gene sequence) analysis of 181 isolated colonies revealed that there was regional proliferation of viable heterotrophic mesophiles in the volcanic ash layers, along with some gram-positive bacteria and actinobacteria. The porous ash layers, which ranged in age from tens of thousands of years to hundreds of thousands of years, thus appear to be discrete microbial habitats within the coastal subseafloor clay sediment, which are capable of harboring microbial communities that are very distinct from the communities in the more abundant pelagic clays. 相似文献

We report the whole DNA sequence of two plasmids, pPI-1 (30.2 kb) and pPI-2 (2.8 kb). These plasmids are from Staphylococcus warneri ISK-1, which produces a lantibiotic, nukacin ISK-1. Curing of pPI-1 resulted in a loss of bactericidal activity in the culture supernatant and the host's immunity to nukacin ISK-1, suggesting that the biosynthetic genes of the bacteriocin are encoded by pPI-1. Based on the results of a homology search of each open reading flame, pPI-1 is comprised of the following four distinct regions: (1) the nukacin ISK-1 biosynthesis and immunity gene cluster, (2) the thioredoxin gene cluster, (3) the replication region, and (4) a region of Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228, highly homologous to pSE-12228-05. Gene organization in the nukacin ISK-1 biosynthesis and immunity gene cluster is different from that in other lacticin-481 type gene clusters. The features of the replication protein encoded in the replicating region are somewhat different from other staphylococcus theta-replicating plasmids. pPI-2 comprised a disinfectant resistant gene, qacC, and the whole DNA sequence showed significant similarity to those of other qacC plasmids such as pSK108, suggesting that pPI-2 belongs to the qacC plasmid group. 相似文献

Cycle inhibiting factor (Cif) is one of the effectors delivered into epithelial cells by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) via the type III secretion system (TTSS). Cif family proteins, which inhibit host cell-cycle progression via mechanisms not yet precisely understood, are highly conserved among EPEC, EHEC, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Photorhabdus luminescens and Burkholderia pseudomallei.Levels of several proteins relevant to cell-cycle progression are modulated by Cullin-RING ligases (CRLs), which in turn are activated by conjugation and deconjugation of NEDD8 to Cullins. Here we show that Cif interacts with NEDD8 and interferes with SCF (Skp1-Cullin1-F-box protein) complex ubiquitin ligase function. We found that neddylated Cullin family proteins accumulated and ubiquitination of p27 decreased in cells infected with EPEC. Consequently, Cif stabilized SCF substrates such as CyclinD1, Cdt1, and p27, and caused G1 cell-cycle arrest. Using time-lapse-imaging of fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell-cycle indicator (Fucci)-expressing cells, we were able to monitor cell-cycle progression during EPEC infection and confirmed the arrest of infected cells at G1. Our in vitro and in vivo data show that Cif-NEDD8 interaction inhibits deneddylation of Cullins, suppresses CRL activity and induces G1 arrest. We thus conclude that the bacterial effector Cif interferes with neddylation-mediated cell-cycle control. 相似文献

Background
Inflammation is associated with most diseases, which makes understanding the mechanisms of inflammation vitally important.Methodology/Principal Findings
Here, we demonstrate a critical function of interleukin-32β (IL-32β) in vascular inflammation. IL-32β is present in tissues from humans, but is absent in rodents. We found that the gene is highly expressed in endothelial cells. Three isoforms of IL-32, named IL-32α, β, and ε, were cloned from human endothelial cells, with IL-32β being the major isoform. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNFα and IL-1β) induced IL-32β expression through NF-κB. Conversely, IL-32β propagated vascular inflammation via induction of vascular cell adhesion molecules and inflammatory cytokines. Accordingly, IL-32β increased adhesion of inflammatory cells to activated endothelial cells, a paramount process in inflammation. These results illustrate a positive feedback regulation that intensifies and prolongs inflammation. Importantly, endothelial/hematopoietic expression of IL-32β in transgenic mice elevated inflammation and worsened sepsis. This was demonstrated by significant elevation of leukocyte infiltration and serum levels of TNFα and IL-1β, increased vascular permeability and lung damage, and accelerated animal death. Together, our results reveal an important function of IL-32 in vascular inflammation and sepsis development.Conclusions/Significance
