The SUBcellular location database for Arabidopsis proteins (SUBA4, http://suba.live) is a comprehensive collection of manually curated published data sets of large-scale subcellular proteomics, fluorescent protein visualization, protein-protein interaction (PPI) as well as subcellular targeting calls from 22 prediction programs. SUBA4 contains an additional 35 568 localizations totalling more than 60 000 experimental protein location claims as well as 37 new suborganellar localization categories. The experimental PPI data has been expanded to 26 327 PPI pairs including 856 PPI localizations from experimental fluorescent visualizations. The new SUBA4 user interface enables users to choose quickly from the filter categories: 'subcellular location', 'protein properties', 'protein-protein interaction' and 'affiliations' to build complex queries. This allows substantial expansion of search parameters into 80 annotation types comprising 1 150 204 new annotations to study metadata associated with subcellular localization. The 'BLAST' tab contains a sequence alignment tool to enable a sequence fragment from any species to find the closest match in Arabidopsis and retrieve data on subcellular location. Using the location consensus SUBAcon, the SUBA4 toolbox delivers three novel data services allowing interactive analysis of user data to provide relative compartmental protein abundances and proximity relationship analysis of PPI and coexpression partners from a submitted list of Arabidopsis gene identifiers.

GPCRs are known for their versatile signaling roles at the plasma membrane; however, recent studies have revealed that these receptors also function within various intracellular compartments, such as endosomes, the Golgi apparatus, and the endoplasmic reticulum. This spatially distinct signaling, termed location bias, allows GPCRs to initiate unique signaling cascades and influence cellular processes-including cAMP production, calcium mobilization, and protein phosphorylation-in a compartment-specific manner. By mapping the impact of GPCR signaling from these subcellular locations, this chapter emphasizes the mechanisms underlying signaling from intracellular receptor pools in diversifying receptor functionality.

Enoxaparin sodium (ES), a low molecular weight heparin derivative, has recently been recognized for its diverse biological activities. In particular, the ability of heparin to modulate inflammation has been utilized to enhance the biocompatibility of bone implant materials. In this study, we utilized poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), a drug loading bone implant material, as a matrix and combined this with enoxaparin sodium (ES) to create enoxaparin sodium PMMA cement (ES-PMMA) to investigate the regulatory effects of ES on inflammatory responses in bone tissue from an animal model.

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are essential regulators of various biological processes, including growth, development, and stress responses in eukaryotes. Despite their importance, the specific roles of bHLH factors in entomopathogenic fungi remain inadequately understood. In this study, we identified and characterized the bHLH transcription factor MrbHLH2 in the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii, which is widely used in biological control.

Background: The Brassinazole-resistant (BZR) family of transcription factors acts as key regulators in brassinosteroid (BR) signaling, influencing plant growth, development, biotic and abiotic stresses. However, systematic analysis of the genes in oat has not been conducted. Moreover, little is known about their functions in osmotic stress, which is a major abiotic stress affecting oat production.
