Article Abstract

Degradation of arrest peptides from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) translocon-bound 60 ribosomal subunits via the ribosome-associated quality control (ER-RQC) pathway requires covalent modification of RPL26/uL24 on 60 ribosomal subunits with UFM1. However, the underlying mechanism that coordinates the UFMylation and RQC pathways remains elusive. Structural analysis of ER-RQC intermediates revealed concomitant binding and direct interaction of the UFMylation and RQC machineries on the 60. In the presence of an arrested peptidyl-transfer RNA, the RQC factor NEMF and the UFM1 E3 ligase (E3) form a direct interaction via the UFL1 subunit of E3, and UFL1 adopts a conformation distinct from that previously observed for posttermination 60. While this concomitant binding occurs on translocon-bound 60, LTN1 recruitment and arrest peptide degradation require UFMylation-dependent 60 dissociation from the translocon. These data reveal a mechanism by which the UFMylation cycle orchestrates ER-RQC.

A Python-scripted software tool has been developed to help study the heterogeneity of gene changes, markedly or moderately expressed, when several experimental conditions are compared. The analysis workflow encloses a scorecard that groups genes based on relative fold-change and statistical significance, providing additional functions that facilitate knowledge extraction. The scorecard reports highlight unique patterns of gene regulation, such as genes whose expression is consistently up- or down-regulated across experiments, all of which are supported by graphs and summaries to characterize the dataset under investigation.

Echinorhynchids are a group of globally distributed acanthocephalan parasites mainly of freshwater, brackish and marine fishes and occasionally, reptiles and amphibians. During several parasitology surveys in the Gulf of Mexico and Northeast Pacific, Mexico, acanthocephalans were recovered from two marine fish species. The specimens from the Gulf of Mexico were identified as Caballerorhynchus lamothei (Cavisomidae), a typical parasite of the striped mojarra, whereas adult acanthocephalans from the Northeast Pacific, Mexico, from the Garibaldi fish exhibited morphological characteristics belonging to the family Transvenidae.

Despite the overall conservation of ribosomes across all domains of life, differences in their 3D architecture, rRNA sequences, ribosomal protein composition, and translation factor requirements reflect lineage-specific adaptations to environmental niches. In the domain Archaea, structural studies have primarily focused on non-methanogenic thermophiles and halophiles, leaving it unclear whether these represent the broader archaeal domain. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the ribosome from Methanosarcina acetivorans, a previously unreported high-resolution structure from a model mesophilic methanogenic archaeon.

Red root disease in rubber trees, caused by , is a prevalent and severe soil-borne disease in rubber tree cultivation areas. The pathogen exhibits complex infections, with multiple transmission pathways, making the disease highly concealed and difficult to diagnose in its early stages. As a result, prevention and control are challenging, posing a serious threat to rubber production.

Unlabelled: A variety of mechanisms enhance cell stress response and repair; however, the role of mitochondria in this activity is unclear. Here we show that exogenous renalase (RNLS), an intracellular flavin-dependent NADH oxidase, activates intramitochondrial RNLS activity to promote cell survival. RNLS interacts with the ATP synthase alpha and beta subunits (ATP5α and ATP5β) and opens the ATP synthase c-subunit leak channel to increase complex I and II activities and protein synthesis rate.
