Roles of the Arabidopsis G protein γ subunit AGG3 and its rice homologs GS3 and DEP1 in seed and organ size control

The size of seeds and organs is coordinately determined by cell proliferation and cell expansion, but the mechanisms that set final seed and organ size are largely unknown in plants. In a recent study, we have demonstrated that the plant specific G protein γ subunit (AGG3) promotes seed and organ growth by increasing the period of proliferative growth in Arabidopsis. AGG3 is localized in plasma membrane and interacts with the G protein β subunit (AGB1). Homologs of AGG3 in rice (GS3 and DEP1/qPE9–1) have been identified as important quantitative trait loci for seed size and yield. However, rice GS3 and DEP1 influence seed and organ growth by restricting cell proliferation. Here, we discuss the possible molecular mechanisms by which Arabidopsis AGG3 and its rice homologs GS3 and DEP1 control seed and organ size.     

Profilin1 facilitates staurosporine-triggered apoptosis by stabilizing the integrin β1-actin complex in breast cancer cells

Profilin1 (Pfn1) functions as a tumour suppressor against malignant phenotypes of cancer cells. A minimum level of Pfn1 is critical for the differentiation of human epithelial cells, and its lower expression correlates with the tumourigenesis of breast cancer cells and tissues. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its anti-tumour action remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that stable expression of ectopic Pfn1 sensitized the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 to apoptosis induced by staurosporine, a widely used natural apoptosis-inducing agent. Pfn1 overexpression could also up-regulate the expression of integrin α5β1, which has been shown to inhibit the transformed phenotype of cancer cells. Furthermore, the Pfn1-facilitated apoptosis induced by staurosporine was blocked in cells attached to a supplementary fibronectin substrate, which serves as a ligand of integrin α5β1. These results suggest that the insufficient fibronectin caused by the integrin α5β1 up-regulation might activate a signalling pathway leading to an increase of cellular apoptosis. Moreover, Pfn1 that primarily functions to promote local superstructure formation involving actin filaments and integrin β1 may contribute to its promotion on apoptosis. Our study indicated a previously uncharacterized role of Pfn1 in mediating staurosporine-inducing apoptosis in breast cancer cells via up-regulating integrin α5β1, and suggested a new target for breast cancer therapy.     

Theoretical study of the interaction between 5-methylcytosine and acrylamide

The hydrogen-bonded complexes between 5-methylcytosine and acrylamide have been investigated using the density function theory (DFT) method. Five stable complexes have been found with no imaginary frequencies. Complex C3 is the most stable one with interaction energies of -69.01?kJ?mol(-1) corrected for basis set superposition error (BSSE). The charge change in the process of these complexes formation has also been examined. The atoms in molecules (AIM) theory and natural bond orbital (NBO) method have been performed to investigate the hydrogen bonds involved in all the complexes. The electron density and its corresponding Laplacian at the bond and ring critical points have been analyzed. In C3 complex, there is the largest stabilization energy (18.17?kJ?mol(-1)) between N11-H12 antibonding orbital and lone electron pair of O17. It can be seen that the hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in the stability of all the complexes between 5-methylcytosine and acrylamide. The theoretical results could provide helpful information for other researchers in further work.
