In plant side, the bacterium DEGs potentially played a pivotal role in activating pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)-mediated defense responses. A. thaliana genes related to PRRs, reactive oxygen species burst, mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade induction, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene, abscisic acid, auxin, gibberellin, and cytokinin were highly induced by V. vulnificus MO6-24/O challenge. Taken together, our results indicate that the sophisticated communication between a marine bacterial pathogen V. vulnificus and A. thaliana occurs. It is the first report demonstration that V. vulnificus actively modulates its virulence factors and potential host immune regulator in a land plant species.With the development of 3C (chromosome conformation capture) and its derivative technology Hi-C (High-throughput chromosome conformation capture) research, the study of the spatial structure of the genomic sequence in the nucleus helps researchers understand the functions of biological processes such as gene transcription, replication, repair, and regulation. In this paper, we first introduce the research background and purpose of Hi-C data visualization analysis. After that, we discuss the Hi-C data analysis methods from genome 3D structure, A/B compartment, TADs (topologically associated domain), and loop detection. We also discuss how to apply genome visualization technologies to the identification of chromosome feature structures. We continue with a review of correlation analysis differences among multi-omics data, and how to apply Hi-C and other omics data analysis into cancer and cell differentiation research. Finally, we summarize the various problems in joint analyses based on Hi-C and other multi-omics data. We believe this review can help researchers better understand the progress and applications of 3D genome technology.The replisome is the multiprotein molecular machinery that replicates DNA. The replisome components work in precise coordination to unwind the double helix of the DNA and replicate the two strands simultaneously. The study of DNA replication using in vitro single-molecule approaches provides a novel quantitative understanding of the dynamics and mechanical principles that govern the operation of the replisome and its components. 'Classical' ensemble-averaging methods cannot obtain this information. Here we describe the main findings obtained with in vitro single-molecule methods on the performance of individual replisome components and reconstituted prokaryotic and eukaryotic replisomes. The emerging picture from these studies is that of stochastic, versatile and highly dynamic replisome machinery in which transient protein-protein and protein-DNA associations are responsible for robust DNA replication.O-linked β-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) is an essential enzyme in many cellular physiological catalytic reactions that regulates protein O-GlcNAcylation. Aberrant O-GlcNAcylation is related to insulin resistance, diabetic complications, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding the peptide delivery in OGT is significant in comprehending enzymatic catalytic process, target-protein recognition and pathogenic mechanism. Herein extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with various techniques are utilized to study the recognizing and binding mechanism of peptide fragment extracted from casein kinase II by OGT from atomic level. The residues of His496, His558, Thr633, Lys634, and Pro897 are demonstrated to play a dominant role in the peptide stabilization via hydrogen bonds and σ-π interaction, whose van der Waals and non-polar solvent effects provide the main driving force. In addition, two channels are identified. The delivery mode, mechanism together with thermodynamic and dynamic characterizations for the most favorable channel are determined. The peptide is more inclined to be recognized by OGT through the cavity comprised of residues 799-812, 893-899, and 865-871, and Tyr13-terminal is prior recognized to Met26-terminal. The transportation process is accompanied with conformation changes between the "spread" and "V" shapes. The whole process is strong exothermic that is highly dependent on the variation of hydrogen bond interactions between peptide and OGT as well as the performance of different subsections of peptide. MK-8776 Besides that, multiple computational methods combinations may contribute meaningfully to calculation of similar bio-systems with long and flexible substrate.During their life cycle, Leishmania parasites display a fine-tuned regulation of the mRNA translation through the differential expression of isoforms of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (LeishIF4Es). The interaction between allosteric modulators such as 4E-interacting proteins (4E-IPs) and LeishIF4E affects the affinity of this initiation factor for the mRNA cap. Here, several computational approaches were employed to elucidate the molecular bases of the previously-reported allosteric modulation in L. major exerted by 4E-IP1 (Lm4E-IP1) on eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E 1 (LmIF4E-1). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and accurate binding free energy calculations (ΔGbind ) were combined with network-based modeling of residue-residue correlations. We also describe the differences in internal motions of LmIF4E-1 apo form, cap-bound, and Lm4E-IP1-bound systems. Through community network calculations, the differences in the allosteric pathways of allosterically-inhibited and active forms of LmIF4E-1 were revealed. The ΔGbind values show significant differences between the active and inhibited systems, which are in agreement with the available experimental data. Our study thoroughly describes the dynamical perturbations of LmIF4E-1 cap-binding site triggered by Lm4E-IP1. These findings are not only essential for the understanding of a critical process of trypanosomatids' gene expression but also for gaining insight into the allostery of eukaryotic IF4Es, which could be useful for structure-based design of drugs against this protein family.With the advent of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies, there has been a spike in studies involving scRNA-seq of several tissues across diverse species including Drosophila. Although a few databases exist for users to query genes of interest within the scRNA-seq studies, search tools that enable users to find orthologous genes and their cell type-specific expression patterns across species are limited. Here, we built a new search database, DRscDB (https//www.flyrnai.org/tools/single_cell/web/), to address this need. DRscDB serves as a comprehensive repository for published scRNA-seq datasets for Drosophila and relevant datasets from human and other model organisms. DRscDB is based on manual curation of Drosophila scRNA-seq studies of various tissue types and their corresponding analogous tissues in vertebrates including zebrafish, mouse, and human. Of note, our search database provides most of the literature-derived marker genes, thus preserving the original analysis of the published scRNA-seq datasets.
