This study reports the identification of the rice open reading frame Semi-Dwarf in chr8 (SD8) that encodes a putative ortholog of Arabidopsis thaliana ABCB1. Genome editing of SD8 leads to optimized rice architecture by reducing plant height and flag-leaf angle without yield penalty. Rice SD8 knockouts may also have the potential for increased yield under high density planting. ...[more]

Project description:The contradiction between ‘high-yielding’ and ‘early-maturing’ hampers further improvement on annual rice yield. Here we reported the positional cloning of a major maturity duration-regulatory gene, Early flowering-completely dominant (Ef-cd), and demonstrated that natural variation in Ef-cd could be used to overcome the above contradictory. The Ef-cd locus gives rise to a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) antisense transcript overlapping the OsSOC1 gene. Ef-cd lncRNA expression positively correlates with the expression of OsSOC1 and H3K36me3 deposition. Field test comparisons of early-maturing Ef-cd near-isogenic lines (NILs) with their wild types as well as the derivative early-maturing hybrids with their wild-type hybrids conducted under different latitudes determined that early-maturing Ef-cd allele shortens maturity duration (ranging from 7 to 20 days) without a concomitant yield penalty. Ef-cd facilitates nitrogen utilization and also improves the photosynthesis rate. Analysis of 1,439 elite hybrid rice varieties revealed that the 16 homozygotes and 299 heterozygotes possessing Ef-cd matured significantly earlier. Therefore, Ef-cd could be a vital contributor of elite early-maturing hybrid varieties in balancing grain yield with maturity duration.

Project description:Neratinib, an irreversible inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor and human epidermal receptor 2, is in phase III clinical trials for patients with human epidermal receptor 2-positive, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The objective of this study was to explore the ability of neratinib to reverse tumor multidrug resistance attributable to overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Our results showed that neratinib remarkably enhanced the sensitivity of ABCB1-overexpressing cells to ABCB1 substrates. It is noteworthy that neratinib augmented the effect of chemotherapeutic agents in inhibiting the growth of ABCB1-overexpressing primary leukemia blasts and KBv200 cell xenografts in nude mice. Furthermore, neratinib increased doxorubicin accumulation in ABCB1-overexpressing cell lines and Rhodamine 123 accumulation in ABCB1-overexpressing cell lines and primary leukemia blasts. Neratinib stimulated the ATPase activity of ABCB1 at low concentrations but inhibited it at high concentrations. Likewise, neratinib inhibited the photolabeling of ABCB1 with [(125)I]iodoarylazidoprazosin in a concentration-dependent manner (IC(50) = 0.24 μM). Neither the expression of ABCB1 at the mRNA and protein levels nor the phosphorylation of Akt was affected by neratinib at reversal concentrations. Docking simulation results were consistent with the binding conformation of neratinib within the large cavity of the transmembrane region of ABCB1, which provides computational support for the cross-reactivity of tyrosine kinase inhibitors with human ABCB1. In conclusion, neratinib can reverse ABCB1-mediated multidrug resistance in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo by inhibiting its transport function.

Project description:The ATP Binding Cassette B1 (ABCB1) transporter has critical roles in endo- and xenobiotic efficacy and toxicity. To understand population variability in hepatic transport we determined ABCB1 mRNA and protein levels in total liver lysates sampled from 8 pre-defined sites (n = 24, 18-69 years), and in S9 from randomly acquired samples (n = 87, 7 days-87 years). ABCB1 levels did not differ significantly throughout individual livers and showed 4.4-fold protein variation between subjects. Neither mRNA nor protein levels varied with sex, ethnicity, obesity or triglycerides in lysates or S9 (that showed the same relationships), but protein levels were lower in pediatric S9 (p < 0.0001), with 76% of adult ABCB1 present at birth and predicted to mature in 5 years. Pediatric total liver lysates were not available. In summary, opportunistic collection for studying human hepatic ABCB1 is acceptable. Additionally, ABCB1 may be lower in children, indicating differential potential for toxicity and response to therapy in this special population.

Project description:Optimized nitrogen (N) management (OPT), with reduced total N input and more N applied during panicle development, has been proved to increase grain yield of rice through panicle enlargement. However, the changes in panicle architecture and source of variation are not well understood. A hybrid rice variety named Tianyou 3618 was subjected to OPT and farmer's fertilizer practice (FFP) in early cropping seasons of 2016 and 2017. With 16.7 % less N input, OPT increased panicle size by 8.6 % and 27.4 %, and grain yield by 13.8 % and 12.3 % for 2016 and 2017, respectively. OPT had greater dry matter accumulation and N uptake from panicle initiation to heading, which bolstered panicle enlargement. The number of surviving florets per branch was quite constant under different N treatments for all primary, secondary, and tertiary branches, implying that panicle size was mainly determined by the number of branches rather than the number of florets per branch. Little change was observed between OPT and FFP in differentiation, degeneration and survival of primary branches and their florets. Surviving secondary and tertiary branches and their florets were significantly more under OPT than those under FFP. The increase in surviving secondary branches under OPT resulted from both enhanced differentiation and reduced degeneration. While the increase in surviving tertiary branches under OPT was merely from enhanced differentiation though their degeneration was also dramatically increased. Among the increased differentiated florets under OPT, 32.4%-36.3 % and 61.6%-67.7 % came from secondary and tertiary branches, respectively. Among the increased surviving florets under OPT, 62.2%-65.2 % and 32.5%-37.8 % came from secondary and tertiary branches, respectively. Both secondary branches and tertiary branches were principal contributors to the increase in panicle size of OPT. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the detailed changes in panicle architecture and their involvement in panicle enlargement and yield gain under OPT.

Project description:ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are a large superfamily of proteins that mediate substrate translocation across biological membranes. Our goal was to define the intramolecular interactions that contribute to quaternary assembly of a eukaryotic ABC transporter and determine how the architecture of this protein influences its biogenesis within the secretory pathway. We used chemical cross-linking approaches to map interdomain interactions in the yeast ABC transporter, Yor1p, which functions as a pleiotropic drug pump at the plasma membrane. We have defined interactions between the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) and between the NBDs and specific intracellular loops (ICLs) that are consistent with current structural models of bacterial ABC exporters. Furthermore, we detected relatively weak NBD-NBD and ICL-ICL interactions that may correspond to transient sites of cross-talk between domains required for coupling of ATP hydrolysis with substrate translocation. Mutation of a key residue in ICL2 caused misassembly of the altered protein, leading to increased sensitivity to the mitochondrial poison, oligomycin. We identified intragenic suppressing mutations that rescued the oligomycin resistance associated with this aberrant protein and demonstrated that the suppressing mutations restored multiple interdomain interfaces. Together, our biochemical and genetic approaches contribute to a greater understanding of the architecture of this important class of proteins and provide insight into the quality control surveillance that regulates their biogenesis and deployment within the eukaryotic cell.

Project description:Brucellosis is a prevalent zoonotic disease and is endemic in the Middle East, South America, and other areas of the world. In this study, complete inventories of putative functional ABC systems of five Brucella species have been compiled and compared. ABC systems of Brucella melitensis 16M, Brucella abortus 9-941, Brucella canis RM6/66, Brucella suis 1330, and Brucella ovis 63/290 were identified and aligned. High numbers of ABC systems, particularly nutrient importers, were found in all Brucella species. However, differences in the total numbers of ABC systems were identified (B. melitensis, 79; B. suis, 72; B. abortus 64; B. canis, 74; B. ovis, 59) as well as specific differences in the functional ABC systems of the Brucella species. Since B. ovis is not known to cause human brucellosis, functional ABC systems absent in the B. ovis genome may represent virulence factors in human brucellosis.

Project description:Transduction of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) chemical-bond energy into work to drive large-scale conformational changes is common in proteins. Two specific examples of ATP-utilizing proteins are the nitrogenase iron protein and the ATP binding-cassette transporter protein, BtuCD. Nitrogenase catalyzes biological nitrogen fixation whereas BtuCD transports vitamin B(12) across membranes. Both proteins drive their reactions with ATP. To interpret how the mechanical force generated by ATP binding and hydrolysis is propagated in these proteins, a coarse-grained elastic network model is employed. The analysis shows that subunits of the proteins move against each other in a concerted manner. The lowest-frequency modes of the nitrogenase iron protein and of the ATP binding-cassette transporter BtuCD protein are found to link the functionally critical domains, and these modes are suggested to be responsible for (at least the initial stages) large-scale ATP-coupled conformational changes.

Project description:In tomato, sugar content is highly correlated with consumer preferences, with most consumers preferring sweeter fruit1-4. However, the sugar content of commercial varieties is generally low, as it is inversely correlated with fruit size, and growers prioritize yield over flavour quality5-7. Here we identified two genes, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) calcium-dependent protein kinase 27 (SlCDPK27; also known as SlCPK27) and its paralogue SlCDPK26, that control fruit sugar content. They act as sugar brakes by phosphorylating a sucrose synthase, which promotes degradation of the sucrose synthase. Gene-edited SlCDPK27 and SlCDPK26 knockouts increased glucose and fructose contents by up to 30%, enhancing perceived sweetness without fruit weight or yield penalty. Although there are fewer, lighter seeds in the mutants, they exhibit normal germination. Together, these findings provide insight into the regulatory mechanisms controlling fruit sugar accumulation in tomato and offer opportunities to increase sugar content in large-fruited cultivars without sacrificing size and yield.

Project description:There exist four fundamentally different classes of membrane-bound transport proteins: ion channels; transporters; aquaporins; and ATP-powered pumps. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are an example of ATP-dependent pumps. ABC transporters are ubiquitous membrane-bound proteins, present in all prokaryotes, as well as plants, fungi, yeast and animals. These pumps can move substrates in (influx) or out (efflux) of cells. In mammals, ABC transporters are expressed predominantly in the liver, intestine, blood-brain barrier, blood-testis barrier, placenta and kidney. ABC proteins transport a number of endogenous substrates, including inorganic anions, metal ions, peptides, amino acids, sugars and a large number of hydrophobic compounds and metabolites across the plasma membrane, and also across intracellular membranes. The human genome contains 49 ABC genes, arranged in eight subfamilies and named via divergent evolution. That ABC genes are important is underscored by the fact that mutations in at least 11 of these genes are already known to cause severe inherited diseases (eg cystic fibrosis and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy [X-ALD]). ABC transporters also participate in the movement of most drugs and their metabolites across cell surface and cellular organelle membranes; thus, defects in these genes can be important in terms of cancer therapy, pharmacokinetics and innumerable pharmacogenetic disorders.
