Identification of UGT85A glycosyltransferases associated with volatile conjugation in grapevine(Vitis vinifera × Vitis labrusca)

Glycosylated volatiles are considered as hidden aroma precursors that affect fruit flavor and are involved in plant defense response. Several uridine-diphosphate(UDP)-glycosyltransferase(UGT) members related to the glycosylation of volatiles have been identified from grapevine berries. Although grapevine leaves produced much higher levels of glycosylated volatiles than berries, UGTs responsible for the production of glycosylated volatiles in leaves have not yet been identified. Here, eight novel UGT genes were cloned, among these four members that belong to UGT85A family(named UGT85A24, UGT85A25, UGT85A26, and UGT85A27) were localized in the cytoplasm and their recombinant proteins showed activity toward volatiles detected in grapevine, with geraniol as the preferred substrate in vitro. Two UGT genes with 98.1% homology differ in R/S-linalool selection. The UGT85A26-catalyzed substrate showed enrichment in S-linalool, whereas UGT85A27 showed a strong preference for R-linalool. UGT85A24 and UGT85A25 were expressed mainly in berries, and UGT85A26 and UGT85A27 were expressed predominantly in grapevine mature leaves and correlated with the highest content of glycosylated volatiles in the mature leaves. Methyl jasmonate(MeJA) induced the expression of UGT85A26 and UGT85A27 as well as the production of linalyl-β-glucoside, citronellyl-β-glucoside and phenethyl-β-glucoside. Transient overexpression of UGT85A26 and UGT85A27 in tobacco leaves led to the accumulation of linalyl-β-glucoside and an increase in citronellyl-β-glucoside in vivo. These results indicate that the expression of UGT85A26 and UGT85A27 is a major regulator affecting the content of glycosylated volatiles in grapevine.

3-N-Butylphthalide mitigates high glucose-induced injury to Schwann cells:association with nitrosation and apoptosis

A high glucose state readily causes peripheral axon atrophy, demyelination, loss of nerve fiber function, and delayed regeneration. However, few studies have examined whether nitration is also critical for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of high glucose on proliferation, apoptosis, and 3-nitrotyrosine levels of Schwann cells treated with butylphthalide. In addition, we explored potential protective mechanisms of butylphthalide on peripheral nerves. Schwann cells were cultured in vitro with high glucose then stimulated with the peroxynitrite anion inhibitors uric acid and 3-n-butylphthalide for 48 hours. Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry were used to investigate the effects of uric acid and 3-n-butylphthalide on proliferation and apoptosis of Schwann cells exposed to a high glucose environment. Effects of uric acid and 3-n-butylphthalide on levels of 3-nitrotyrosine in Schwann cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results indicated that Schwann cells cultured in high glucose showed decreased proliferation, but increased apoptosis and intracellular 3-nitrotyrosine levels. However, intervention with uric acid or 3-n-butylphthalide could increase proliferation of Schwann cells cultured in high glucose, and inhibited apoptosis and intracellular 3-nitrotyrosine levels. According to our data, 3-n-butylphthalide may inhibit cell nitrification and apoptosis, and promote cell proliferation, thereby reducing damage to Schwann cells caused by high glucose.

Optimized analysis of sharpening characteristics of a compact RF pulse source based on a gyro-magnetic nonlinear transmission line for ultrawideband electromagnetic pulse application

We constructed a compact high-power RF pulse generator based on a gyro-magnetic nonlinear transmission line(GNLTL) to produce a high-voltage pulse with a sub-nanosecond rise time and a relatively high repetition rate, which shows great potential for application in the high-power ultrawideband electromagnetic effect, etc. The influence of incident pulse parameters(rise time and voltage amplitude) and line length on the sharpening characteristics of the GNLTL were investigated experimentally to optimize the rising rate of the modulated pulse front. Based on the GNLTL equivalent circuit model consisting of an LC ladder network, the rise time, the voltage conversion coefficient and the rising rate properties of a modulated pulse were also numerically analyzed in a wider range. The results show that a?>?90 k V RF pulse with a rise time of 350 ps and a repetition rate of 1 kHz in burst mode is produced by the GNLTL at an axial biasing magnetic field of 22 kA m^-1 and a line length of 30 cm under the condition of a 70 kV incident pulse. Applying a faster and higher incident pulse is conducive to improving the sharpening effect of the GNLTL. Furthermore, within a certain range, increasing the line length of the GNLTL not only reduces the rise time, but increases the voltage conversion coefficient and the rising rate of a modulated pulse. Furthermore, considering the energy loss of ferrite rings, there is an optimal line length to obtain the fastest rising rate of a modulated pulse front edge.

Control and Implementation of 2-DOF Lower Limb Exoskeleton Experiment Platform

In this study,a humanoid prototype of 2-DOF(degrees of freedom)lower limb exoskeleton is introduced to evaluate the wearable comfortable effect between person and exoskeleton.To improve the detection accuracy of the humanrobot interaction torque,a BPNN(backpropagation neural networks)is proposed to estimate this interaction force and to compensate for the measurement error of the 3D-force/torque sensor.Meanwhile,the backstepping controller is designed to realize the exoskeleton's passive position control,which means that the person passively adapts to the exoskeleton.On the other hand,a variable admittance controller is used to implement the exoskeleton's active followup control,which means that the person's motion is motivated by his/her intention and the exoskeleton control tries best to improve the human-robot wearable comfortable performance.To improve the wearable comfortable effect,serval regular gait tasks with different admittance parameters and step frequencies are statistically performed to obtain the optimal admittance control parameters.Finally,the BPNN compensation algorithm and two controllers are verified by the experimental exoskeleton prototype with human-robot cooperative motion.

Metabolome profiling of stratified seeds provides insight into the regulation of dormancy in Davidia involucrata

Dove tree(Davidia involucrata),a tertiary vestige species,is well-adapted to cool conditions.Dormancy in D.involucrata seed lasts for an extremely long period of time,typically between 3 and 4 years,and this characteristic makes the species an excellent model for studying the mechanisms of seed dormancy.The molecular mechanisms governing germination control in D.involucrata are still unknown.Seed stratification have been reported to enhance germination in recalcitrant seeds.We performed a widely targeted metabolome profiling to identify metabolites and associated pathways in D.involucrata seeds from six different moist sand stratification durations(0-30 months) using the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Q Exactive Orbitrap-Mass spectrometry.There was an increasing germination rate with prolonged stratification durations(12-30 months).Furthermore,we detected 10,008 metabolites in the stratified seeds.We also detected 48 differentially accumulated metabolites(DAMs) between all stratification periods in the seeds,with 10 highly conserved metabolites.Most of the differentially accumulated metabolites between unstratified and stratified seeds were enriched in purine metabolism,pyrimidine metabolism,flavone and flavonol biosynthesis,phenylpropanoid biosynthesis,and arginine biosynthesis pathways.Key phytohormones,abscisic acid,indole-3 acetic acid,and sinapic acid were differentially accumulated in the seeds and are predicted to regulate dormancy in D.involucrata.We have provided extensive metabolic information useful for future works on dove tree germination study.

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome with steroid dependency: A case report

BACKGROUND Cronkhite-Canada syndrome(CCS)is a rare nonhereditary disease characterized by chronic diarrhoea,diffuse gastrointestinal polyposis and ectodermal manifestations.The lethality of CCS can be up to 50%if it is untreated or if treatment is delayed or inadequate.More than 35%of the patients do not achieve long-term clinical remission after corticosteroid administration,with relapse occurring during or after the cessation of glucocorticoid use.The optimal strategy of maintenance therapy of this disease is controversial.CASE SUMMARY A 47-year-old man presented to the hospital with a 3-mo history of frequent watery diarrhoea,accompanied by macular skin pigmentation that included the palms and soles,and onychodystrophy of the fingernails and toenails.Gastroscopy and colonoscopy revealed numerous polyps in the stomach and colon.After other possibilities were ruled out by a series of examinations,CCS was diagnosed and treated with prednisone.The patient took prednisone for more than 1 year before achieving complete resolution of his symptoms and endoscopic findings.The patient was then given prednisone 5 mg/d for 6 mo of maintenance therapy.With clinical improvement and polyp regression,prednisone was discontinued.Eight mo after the discontinuation of prednisone,the diarrhoea and gastrointestinal polyps relapsed.Therefore,the patient was given the same dose of prednisone,and complete remission was achieved again.CONCLUSION It is necessary to extend the duration of prednisone maintenance therapy for CCS.Prednisone is still effective when readministered after relapse.Surveillance endoscopy at intervals of 1 year or less is recommended to assess mucosal disease activity.

Robust Sliding Mode Control for a 2-DOF Lower Limb Exoskeleton Base on Linear Extended State Observer

For the 2-Degree of Freedom(DOF)lower limb exoskeleton,to ensure the system robustness and dynamic performance,a linearextended-state-observer-based(LESO)robust sliding mode control is proposed to not only reduce the influence of parametric uncertainties,unmodeled dynamics,and external disturbance but also estimate the unmeasurable real-time joint angular velocity directly.Then,via Lyapunov technology,the stability of the corresponding LESO and controller is proven.The appropriate and reasonable simulation was carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed LESO and exoskeleton controller.

Quasi-synchronous control of uncertain multiple electrohydraulic systems with prescribed performance constraint and input saturation

This article focuses on the high accuracy quasi-synchronous control issue of multiple electrohydraulic systems(MEHS).In order to overcome the negative effects of parameter uncertainty and external load interference of MEHS,a kind of finite-time disturbance observer(FTDO)via terminal sliding mode method is constructed based on the MEHS model to achieve fast and accuracy estimation and compensation ability.To avoid the differential explosion in backstepping iteration,the dynamic surface control is used in this paper to guarantee the follower electrohydraulic nodes synchronize to the leader motion with a better performance.Furthermore,a timevarying barrier Lyapunov function(tvBLF)is adopted during the controller design process to constraint the output tracking error of MEHS in a prescribed performance with time-varying exponential function.As the initial state condition is relax by tvBLF,the input saturation law is also adopted during the controller design process in this paper to restrain the surges of input signals,which can avoid the circuit and mechanical structure damage caused by the volatile input signal.An MEHS experimental bench is constructed to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical conclusions proposed in this paper and the advantages of the proposed conclusions in this paper are illustrated by a series of contradistinctive experimental results.

De novo biosynthesis of liquiritin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Liquiritigenin(LG),isoliquiritigenin(Iso-LG),together with their respective glycoside derivatives liquiritin(LN)and isoliquiritin(Iso-LN),are the main active flavonoids of Glycyrrhiza uralensis,which is arguably the most widely used medicinal plant with enormous demand on the market,including Chinese medicine prescriptions,preparations,health care products and even food.Pharmacological studies have shown that these ingredients have broad medicinal value,including anti-cancer and antiinflammatory effects.Although the biosynthetic pathway of glycyrrhizin,a triterpenoid component from G.uralensis,has been fully analyzed,little attention has been paid to the biosynthesis of the flavonoids of this plant.To obtain the enzyme-coding genes responsible for the biosynthesis of LN,analysis and screening were carried out by combining genome and comparative transcriptome database searches of G.uralensis and homologous genes of known flavonoid biosynthesis pathways.The catalytic functions of candidate genes were determined by in vitro or in vivo characterization.This work characterized the complete biosynthetic pathway of LN and achieved the de novo biosynthesis of liquiritin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using endogenous yeast metabolites as precursors and cofactors for the first time,which provides a possibility for the economical and sustainable production and application of G.uralensis flavonoids through synthetic biology.

p53-dependent Fas expression is critical for Ginsenoside Rh2 triggered caspase-8 activation in HeLa cells

We have recently reported that Ginsenoside Rh2 （G- Rh2） induces the activation of two initiator caspases, caspase-8 and caspase-9 in human cancer cells. How- ever, the molecular mechanism of its death-inducing function remains unclear. Here we show that G-Rh2 stimulated the activation of both caspase-8 and cas- pase-9 simultaneously in HeLa cells. Under G-Rh2 treatment, membrane death receptors Fas and TNFR1 are remarkably upregulated. However, the induced expression of Fas but not TNFR1 was contributed to the apoptosis process, Moreover, significant increases in Fas expression and caspase-8 activity temporally coin- cided with an increase in p53 expression in p53-non- mutated HeLa and SK-HEP-1 cells upon G-Rh2 treat- ment. In contrast, Fas expression and caspase-8 activity remained constant with G-Rh2 treatment in p53-mutated SW480 and PC-3 cells. In addition, siRNA-mediated knockdown of p53 diminished G-Rh2-induced Fas expression and caspase-8 activation, These results indicated that G-Rh2-triggered extrinsic apoptosis relies on p53-mediated Fas over-expression. In the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, G-Rh2 induced strong and immedi- ate translocation of cytosolic BAK and BAX to the mitochondria, mitochondrial cytochrome c release, and subsequent caspase-9 activation both in HeLa and in SW480 ceils, p53-mediated Fas expression and sub- sequent downstream caspase-8 activation as well as p53-independent caspase-9 activation all contribute to the activation of the downstream effector caspase-3/-7, leading to tumor cell death. Taken together, we suggest that G-Rh2 induces cancer cell apoptosis in a multi-path manner and is therefore a promising candidate for anti- tumor drug development.

Genome-wide analysis identified 17 new loci influencing intraocular pressure in Chinese population

Intraocular pressure(IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma. Genetic determinants of intraocular pressure can provide critical insights into the genetic architecture of glaucoma and, as a result, open new avenues for therapeutic intervention. We performed a genome-wide association study and replication analysis of 8,552 Chinese participants. In the genome-wide association study, we identified 51 loci that surpassed the significance of P<9×10^(-7), and we formally replicated these loci. A combined discovery and replication meta-analysis identified 21 genome-wide loci that surpassed the genome-wide significance of P<5×10^(-8), including 4 previously reported loci: rs145063132(7 p21.2, ETV1/DGKB), rs548030386(7 q31.2, ST7 near CAV1/CAV2), rs7047871(9 p24.2, GLIS3), and rs2472494(9 q31.1, ABCA1/SLC44 A1). Of the 17 newly identified loci, five were reported to have ocular related phenotypes: PTCH2(rs7525308 in 1 p34.1), LRIF1/DRAM2(rs1282146 in 1 p13.3), COLEC11(rs201143466 in 2 p25.3),SPTBN1(rs4514918 in 2 p16.2), and CRK(rs11078446 in 17 p13.3). The genetic loci identified in this study not only increase our understanding of the genes involved in intraocular pressure but also provide important genetic markers to improve future genetic screening and drug discovery for intraocular pressure disorders.

Dielectric,magnetic and microwave absorbing properties of polyaniline-Co0.7Cr0.1Zn0.2Fe2O4 composites

The spinel cobalt chromium zinc ferrites（Co0.7Cr0.1Zn0.2Fe2O4） and the polyaniline（PANI）-Co0.7Cr0.1Zn0.2Fe2O4 composites were prepared by polyacrylamide gel and an in situ polymerization method,respectively.The structure of the synthesized material was characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer（FTIR）,which shows that the spinel Co0.7Cr0.1Zn0.2Fe2O4 ferrites and the PANI Co0.7Cr0.1Zn0.2Fe2O4 composites are obtained.As a small amount of Co^2＋ in the octahedron ferrite is replaced by Cr^3＋,the lattice constant of Co0.8Cr0.2Zn0.2Fe2O4 ferrites reduces from0.8409 to 0.8377 nm.The magnetic properties of the two materials were investigated by vibrating sample magnetometer（VSM）.The VSM results confirm that the saturation magnetization（Ms）,remanent magnetization（Mr） and coercive force（Hc） of the PANI-Co0.7Cr0.1Zn0.2Fe2O4composites are 8.80 mA·m^2·g^-1,3.14 mA·m^2·g^-1 and37.22 kA·m^-1,respectively,which are smaller than those of the Co0.7Cr0.1Zn0.2Fe2O4 ferrites.The microwave absorbing capability of the two materials was studied by waveguide method.In the frequency range of 5-20 GHz,two reflection loss maximum values of the PANI-Co0.7Cr0.1Zn0.2Fe2O4 composites appear at 14.1 and 17.9 GHz with-13.17 and-15.36 dB,respectively,which are obviously higher than those of the Co0.7Cr0.1Zn0.2Fe2O4 ferrites.

The miR157-SPL-CNR module acts upstream of bHLH101 to negatively regulate iron deficiency responses in tomato

Iron(Fe)homeostasis is critical for plant growth,development,and stress responses.Fe levels are tightly controlled by intricate regulatory networks in which transcription factors(TFs)play a central role.A series of basic helix-loop-helix(b HLH)TFs have been shown to contribute to Fe homeostasis,but the regulatory layers beyond b HLH TFs remain largely unclear.Here,we demonstrate that the SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE(SPL)TF Sl SPL-CNR negatively regulates Fe-deficiency responses in tomato(Solanum lycopersicum)roots.Fe deficiency rapidly repressed the expression of Sl SPL-CNR,and Fe deficiency responses were intensified in two clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPRassociated protein 9-generated Sl SPL-CNR knockout lines compared to the wild-type.Comparative transcriptome analysis identified 47 Fe deficiencyresponsive genes the expression of which is negatively regulated by Sl SPL-CNR,one of which,Slb HLH101,helps regulate Fe uptake genes.Sl SPLCNR localizes the nucleus and interacts with the GTAC and BOX 4(ATTAAT)motifs in the Slb HLH101 promoter to repress its expression.Inhibition of Sl SPL-CNR expression in response to Fe deficiency was well correlated with the expression of the micro RNA Slymi R157.Slymi R157-overexpressing tomato lines displayed enhanced Fe deficiency responses,as did Sl SPL-CNR loss-of-function mutants.We propose that the Slymi R157-Sl SPL-CNR module represents a novel pathway that acts upstream of Slb HLH101 to regulate Fe homeostasis in tomato roots.

Design and Synthesis of Tri-substituted Chiral Pyrrolidin-2-one Derivatives as CCR4 Antagonists

A series of tri-substituted chiral pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives have been designed and synthesized as CC chemokine receptor 4 （CCR4） antagonists. The structure of CCR4 was built by homology modeling. Asymmetric synthesis was applied to synthesize the R,R configuration chiral pyrrolidin-2-one scaffold. The stereoisomeric con- figurations of the compounds were identified by 2D I H-~H COSY spectroscopy and 1D NOESY spectroscopy. This method was more economical and convenient than traditional X-ray single crystal diffraction. In addition, the inter- actions between these compounds and the N-terminal extracellular tail of CCR4 were studied using capillary zone electrophoresis. The CCR4 chemotaxis inhibition effect was tested in CCR4-transfected HEK293 cells. Several compounds showed potent activities as CCR4 antagonists. Among these compounds, lc is the most active one. Its apparent binding constant of CZE experiment result is （1.569±0.11）× 10s L·mol ^-1, and its percentage inhibition of the HEK293/CCR4 cells migration with the concentration of I gmol·L ^-1 in DMSO is 59%. And compound If has slightly higher affinity to N-terminal of CCR4 according to its apparent binding constant than lb because of the in- troduced ester linkage. Further studies on the mechanism of these compounds are in progress.
