    查看更多>>摘要:Rice(Oryza sativa L.)production is threatened by global warming associated with extreme high temper-atures,and rice heat sensitivity is differed when stress occurs between daytime and nighttime.However,the underlying molecular mechanism are largely unknown.We show here that two glycine-rich RNA binding proteins,OsGRP3 and OsGRP162,are required for thermotolerance in rice,especially at night-time.The rhythmic expression of OsGRP3/OsGRP162 peaks at midnight,and at these coincident times,is increased by heat stress.This is largely dependent on the evening complex component OsELF3-2.We next found that the double mutant of OsGRP3/OsGRP162 is strikingly more sensitive to heat stress in terms of survival rate and seed setting rate when comparing to the wild-type plants.Interestingly,the defect in thermotolerance is more evident when heat stress occurred in nighttime than that in day-time.Upon heat stress,the double mutant of OsGRP3/OsGRP162 displays globally reduced expression of heat-stress responsive genes,and increases of mRNA alternative splicing dominated by exon-skipping.This study thus reveals the important role of OsGRP3/OsGRP162 in thermotolerance in rice,and unravels the mechanism on how OsGRP3/OsGRP162 regulate thermotolerance in a diurnal manner.

    查看更多>>摘要:TRIM71 is an RNA-binding protein with ubiquitin ligase activity.Numerous functions of mammalian TRIM71,including cell cycle regulation,embryonic stem cell(ESC)self-renewal,and reprogramming of pluripotent stem cells,are related to its RNA-binding property.We previously reported that a long non-coding RNA(IncRNA)Trincr1 interacts with mouse TRIM71(mTRIM71)to repress FGF/ERK pathway in mouse ESCs(mESCs).Herein,we identify an RNA motif specifically recognized by mTRIM71 from Trincr1 RNA,and solve the crystal structure of the NHL domain of mTRIM71 complexed with the RNA motif.Similar to the zebrafish TRIM71,mTRIM71 binds to a stem-loop structured RNA fragment of Trincr1,and an adenosine base at the loop region is crucial for the mTRIM71 interaction.We map similar hairpin RNAs preferably bound by TRIM71 in the mRNA UTRs of the cell-cycle related genes regulated by TRIM71.Furthermore,we identify key residues of mTRIM71,conserved among mammalian TRIM71 pro-teins,required for the RNA-binding property.Single-site mutations of these residues significantly impair the binding of TRIM71 to hairpin RNAs in vitro and to mRNAs of Cdkn1a/p21 and Rbl2/p130 in mESCs.Furthermore,congenital hydrocephalus(CH)specific mutation of mTRIM71 impair its binding to the RNA targets as well.These results reveal molecular mechanism behind the recognition of RNA by mam-malian TRIM71 and provide insights into TRIM71 related diseases.

    查看更多>>摘要:Efficient immune responses rely on the proper differentiation of CD8+T cells into effector and memory cells.Here,we show a critical requirement of N6-Methyladenosine(m6A)methyltransferase Mettl3 dur-ing CD8+T cell responses upon acute viral infection.Conditional deletion of Mettl3 in CD8+T cells impairs effector expansion and terminal differentiation in an m6A-dependent manner,subsequently affecting memory formation and the secondary response of CD8+T cells.Our combined RNA-seq and m6A-miCLIP-seq analyses reveal that Mettl3 deficiency broadly impacts the expression of cell cycle and tran-scriptional regulators.Remarkably,Mettl3 binds to the Tbx21 transcript and stabilizes it,promoting effec-tor differentiation of CD8+T cells.Moreover,ectopic expression of T-bet partially restores the defects in CD8+T cell differentiation in the absence of Mettl3.Thus,our study highlights the role of Mettl3 in reg-ulating multiple target genes in an m6A-dependent manner and underscores the importance of m6A mod-ification during CD8+T cell response.

    查看更多>>摘要:We apply a zircon redox index to a global compilation of detrital zircons to track the variation of oxida-tion state,expressed as △FMQ,through Earth's history.Those from I-type rocks,which comprise mantle and crustal igneous protoliths,including tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorites(TTGs),generally have a high oxidation state(△FMQ>0).In contrast,zircons from igneous rocks derived from supracrustal source rocks(S-type)are commonly reduced(△FMQ<0).With the probability density function derived from the Gaussian-Kernel-Density-Estimation,we use the maximum likelihood estimation(MLE)to distinguish S-type from I-type zircons through Earth's history using zircon redox.Voluminous S-type magma produc-tion shows a ca.600 Ma cyclicity that is closely related to the supercontinent cycle.We link a cyclic drop in redox values after 2.6 Ga to periodic S-type magma generation associated with burial and melting of metasedimentary rocks during supercontinent assembly and amalgamation.The △FMQ of the detrital zircons rise at~3.5 Ga followed by a consistent average △FMQ>0 over the last 3 Ga.Given that the redox state of magmas is independent of crustal thickness and silica variation,and elevated values are likely more closely related to tectonic setting,we suggest that the consistent average △FMQ>0 from ca.3.5 Ga onwards relates to recycling of oceanic lithosphere back into the mantle in what eventually became established as subduction zones.The more reduced magmas associated with sedimentary sources,became established at 2.6 Ga,presumably in response to continental rocks rising above sea-level,and follow peaks of productivity associated with the supercontinent cycle.

    查看更多>>摘要:The southward expansion of East Asian farmers profoundly influenced the social evolution of Southeast Asia by introducing cereal agriculture.However,the timing and routes of cereal expansion in key regions are unclear due to limited empirical evidence.Here we report macrofossil,microfossil,multiple isotopic(C/N/Sr/O)and paleoproteomic data directly from radiocarbon-dated human samples,which were unearthed from a site in Xingyi in central Yunnan and which date between 7000 and 3300 a BP.Dietary isotopes reveal the earliest arrival of millet ca.4900 a BP,and greater reliance on plant and animal agriculture was indicated between 3800 and 3300 a BP.The dietary differences between hunter-gatherer and agricultural groups are also evident in the metabolic and immune system proteins analysed from their skeletal remains.The results of paleoproteomic analysis indicate that humans had divergent biolog-ical adaptations,with and without farming.The combined application of isotopes,archaeobotanical data and proteomics provides a new approach to documenting dietary and health changes across major sub-sistence transitions.

    查看更多>>摘要:As one of the world's largest emitters of greenhouse gases,China has set itself the ambitious goal of achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.Therefore,it is crucial to quantify the magnitude and trend of sources and sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide(CO2),and to monitor China's progress toward these goals.Using state-of-the-art datasets and models,this study comprehensively estimated the anthropogenic CO2 emissions from energy,industrial processes and product use,and waste along with natural sources and sinks of CO2 for all of China during 1980-2021.To recognize the differences among various methods of estimating greenhouse emissions,the estimates are compared with China's National Greenhouse Gas Inventories(NGHGIs)for 1994,2005,2010,2012,and 2014.Anthropogenic CO2 emis-sions in China have increased by 7.39 times from 1980 to 12.77 Gt CO2 a-1 in 2021.While benefiting from ecological projects(e.g.,Three Norths Shelter Forest System Project),the land carbon sink in China has reached 1.65 Gt CO2 a-1 averaged through 2010-2021,which is almost 15.81 times that of the carbon sink in the 1980s.On average,China's terrestrial ecosystems offset 14.69%±2.49%of anthropogenic CO2 emissions through 2010-2021.Two provincial-level administrative regions of China,Xizang and Qinghai,have achieved carbon neutrality according to our estimates,but nearly half of the administrative regions of China have terrestrial carbon sink offsets of less than 10%of anthropogenic CO2 emissions.This study indicated a high level of consistency between NGHGIs and various datasets used for estimating fos-sil CO2 emissions,but found notable differences for land carbon sinks.Future estimates of the terrestrial carbon sinks of NGHGIs urgently need to be verified with process-based models which integrate the com-prehensive carbon cycle processes.
