Livin promotes Smac/DIABLO degradation by ubiquitin–proteasome pathway
Livin, a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family, encodes a protein containing a single baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) domain and a COOH-terminal RING finger domain. It has been reported that L...

Cloning and study of adult-tissue-specific expression of Sox9 in Cyprinus carpio
The Sox9 gene is one of the important transcription factors in the development of many tissues and organs, particularly in sex determination and chondrogenesis. We amplified the genomic DNA of Cyprinus carpio usi...

Structural variation in two human genomes mapped at single-nucleotide resolution by whole genome de novo assembly
Identification of genomic structural variation from short-read sequencing data is typically accomplished by map** reads to a reference genome. Li et al. show that de novo assembly of the reads followed by whole...

Mitochondrial outer-membrane protein FUNDC1 mediates hypoxia-induced mitophagy in mammalian cells
Damaged mitochondria can be removed by mitophagy, but how this organelle is recognized by the autophagy machinery is unclear. Chen and colleagues show that FUNDC1, an integral mitochondrial outer membrane prot...

Measurement and analysis of mineral and heavy metal components in grape cultivars by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES)
Mineral and heavy metal in grape flesh of different cultivars were measured by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer. Eight grape varieties including four wine grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Ca...

Comparative study of four rice cultivars with different levels of cadmium tolerance
Cadmium (Cd) has been identified as a significant pollutant due to its high solubility in water and soil and high toxicity to plants and animals. Rice, as one of the most important food crops, is grown in soil...

Non-CG methylation patterns shape the epigenetic landscape in Arabidopsis
Non-CG methylation is abundant in plants, but its functions are poorly understood. A new study has uncovered the contributions of each non-CG methyltransferase, including the poorly characterized methyltransfe...

A small natural molecule promotes mitochondrial fusion through inhibition of the deubiquitinase USP30
Mitochondrial fusion is a highly coordinated process that mixes and unifies the mitochondrial compartment for normal mitochondrial functions and mitochondrial DNA inheritance. Dysregulated mitochondrial fusion...

O-GlcNAc-modification of SNAP-29 regulates autophagosome maturation
The mechanism by which nutrient status regulates the fusion of autophagosomes with endosomes/lysosomes is poorly understood. Here, we report that O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) media...

Grassland productivity limited by multiple nutrients
Terrestrial ecosystem productivity is widely accepted to be nutrient limited1. Although nitrogen (N) is deemed a key determinant of aboveground net primary production (ANPP)2,3, the prevalence of co-limitation by...

Open AccessNegative regulation of DNMT3A de novo DNA methylation by frequently overexpressed UHRF family proteins as a mechanism for widespread DNA hypomethylation in cancer
Global DNA hypomethylation is a most common epigenetic alteration in cancer, but the mechanism remains elusive. Previous studies demonstrate that UHRF1 but not UHRF2 is required for mediating DNA maintenance m...
