Article Abstract

Nitrate (NO) uptake and distribution are critical to plant life. Although the upstream regulation of NO uptake and downstream responses to NO in a variety of cells have been well studied, it is still not possible to directly visualize the spatial and temporal distribution of NO with high resolution at the cellular level. Here, we report a nuclear-localized, genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor, which we named NitraMeter3.0, for the quantitative visualization of NO distribution in . This biosensor tracked the spatiotemporal distribution of NO along the primary root axis and disruptions by genetic mutation of transport (low NO uptake) and assimilation (high NO accumulation). The developed biosensor effectively monitors NO concentrations at the cellular level in real time and spatiotemporal changes during the plant life cycle.

Hemophilia, an X-linked monogenic disorder, arises from mutations in the or genes, which encode clotting factor VIII (FVIII) or clotting factor IX (FIX), respectively. As a prominent hereditary coagulation disorder, hemophilia is clinically manifested by spontaneous hemorrhagic episodes. Severe cases may progress to complications such as stroke and arthropathy, significantly compromising patients' quality of life.

Effective mosquito control is essential for reducing the transmission of vector-borne diseases. This study focuses on the comprehensive characterization of mosquitocidal toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis (Bti) VCRC B646 and the associated insecticidal genes. The bacterium was cultured, and the spore-crystal complex was purified to identify the mosquitocidal proteins.

Introduction: Mutations in SORL1, encoding the sorting receptor Sortilin-related receptor with A-type repeats (SORLA), are found in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We studied SORLA, carrying a mutation in its ligand binding domain, to learn more about receptor functions relevant for human brain health.

Methods: We investigated consequences of SORLA expression in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived human neurons and microglia, using unbiased proteome screens and functional cell assays.

Live-cell imaging of intracellular proteins enables real-time observation of protein dynamics under near-physiological conditions, providing pivotal insights for both fundamental life science research and medical applications. However, due to limitations such as poor probe permeability and cytotoxicity associated with conventional antibody-based or genetically encoded labeling techniques, live-cell imaging remains a significant challenging. To address these limitations, here in this study, we developed and rigorously validated a novel aptamer-based fluorescent probe for real-time imaging of NEK9 kinase in living cells.
