Multiple-site fragment deletion, insertion and substitution mutagenesis by modified overlap extension PCR
<p>Introducing various mutations at multiple specific sites within a gene requires multiple steps of DNA manipulation, which is the initial, but limiting step of protein structure–function studies. In the present work, we standardized a simple and fast procedure to perform site-directed mutagenesis, multiple-site fragment deletion, insertion and substitution mutagenesis by a modified version of overlap extension polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In this procedure, target genes divided into several fragments based on the site of mutagenesis are amplified and annealed with their complementary overhanging, followed by extension and amplification to full-length gene with expected mutation(s) by PCR. Vectors inserted with the modified target gene are screened by colony PCR. By using the standardized procedure, we have easily generated single-site mutations, replaced/deleted DNA fragment into/from a target gene and engineered a cysteine-free protein. Practically, the standardized procedure provides an efficient choice for almost all kinds of mutagenesis, especially for multiple-site and large DNA fragment modification mutagenesis. Therefore, this method can be utilized to analyze protein structure and function, to optimize codons of genes for protein expression and to assemble genes of interest.</p
Table_2_Discovery of therapeutic targets of quercetin for endometrial carcinoma patients infected with COVID-19 through network pharmacology.xlsx
PurposeAimed to identify the anti-uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) function and characterize the mechanism of quercetin in the treatment of patients infected with COVID-19 via integrated in silico analysis.MethodsThe Cancer Genome Atlas and Genotype Tissue Expression databases were applied to obtain differentially expressed genes of UCEC and non-tumor tissue. Several in silico methods such as network pharmacology, functional enrichment analysis, Cox regression analyses, somatic mutation analysis, immune infiltration and molecular docking were used to investigate and analysis the biological targets, functions and mechanisms of anti-UCEC/COVID-19 of quercetin. Multiple methods such as CCK8 assay, Transwell assay and western blotting were performed to test proliferation, migration, and protein level of UCEC (HEC-1 and Ishikawa) cells.ResultsFunctional analysis disclosed that quercetin against UCEC/COVID-19 mainly by ‘biological regulation’, ‘response to stimulus’, and ‘regulation of cellular process’. Then, regression analyses indicated that 9 prognostic genes (including ANPEP, OAS1, SCGB1A1, HLA‐A, NPPB, FGB, CCL2, TLR4, and SERPINE1) might play important roles in quercetin for treating UCEC/COVID-19. Molecular docking analysis revealed that the protein products of 9 prognostic genes were the important anti-UCEC/COVID-19 biological targets of quercetin. Meanwhile, the proliferation and migration of UCEC cells were inhibited by quercetin. Moreover, after treatment with quercetin, the protein level of ubiquitination-related gene ISG15 was decreased in UCEC cells in vitro.ConclusionsTaken together, this study provides new treatment option for UCEC patients infected with COVID-19. Quercetin may work by reducing the expression of ISG15 and participating in ubiquitination-related pathways.</p

The heterotrimeric G protein г <i>Stgg1</i> is required for conidiation, secondary metabolite production and pathogenicity of <i>Setosphaeria turcica</i>
<p>Heterotrimeric G proteins are best known for their role in the transduction of extracellular signals to various downstream effectors. G proteins in higher eukaryotes are intensively studied; however, their roles in foliar pathogens are still elusive. In this study, we cloned the gene <i>Stgg1</i> encoding G protein γ subunit in <i>Setosphaeria turcica</i> and investigated its function by RNA interference technology. Three independent <i>Stgg1</i> targeted RNAi mutants R3, R5 and R6 with diverse silencing efficiency were generated. Knock-down of <i>Stgg1</i> resulted in a significant reduction in mRNA levels of the genes encoding Gα (<i>Stga1</i>, <i>Stga2</i>, <i>Stga3</i>) but not for Gβ (<i>Stgb1</i>). <i>Stgg1</i> RNAi mutants exhibited significantly elongated hyphal cells with blocked conidium production. In addition, <i>Stgg1</i> RNAi mutants all appeared in lighter colony colour compatible with inhibited secondary metabolites. Further assays demonstrated that <i>Stgg1</i> was required for biosynthesis of melanin and HT-toxin activity. Furthermore, down-regulation of <i>Stgg1</i> largely inhibited the inflection capacity. Thus, we proposed that <i>Stgg1</i> played crucial roles in conidiation, secondary metabolite production and pathogenicity of <i>S. turcica</i> and is, therefore, an ideal target for drug design against foliar pathogens.</p
Data_Sheet_1_Deficiency in Silicon Transporter Lsi1 Compromises Inducibility of Anti-herbivore Defense in Rice Plants.docx
Silicon (Si) application can significantly enhance rice resistance against herbivorous insects. However, the underlying mechanism is elusive. In this study, silicon transporter mutant OsLsi1 and corresponding wild-type rice (WT) were treated with and without Si to determine Si effects on rice resistance to leaffolder (LF), Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Si application on WT plants significantly promoted rice plant growth, upregulated expression level of OsLsi1 and increased Si accumulation in the leaves and roots, as well as effectively reduced LF weight gain, while it showed only marginal or no effect on the mutant plants. Furthermore, upon LF infestation, transcript levels of OsLOX, OsAOS2, OsCOI1a, OsCOI1b, and OsBBPI, and activity of catalase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and polyphenol oxidase were significantly higher in Si-treated than untreated WT plants. However, OsLsi1 mutant plants displayed higher susceptibility to LF, and minimal response of defense-related enzymes and jasmonate dependent genes to Si application. These results suggest that induced defense plays a vital role in Si-enhanced resistance and deficiency in silicon transporter Lsi1 compromises inducibility of anti-herbivore defense in rice plants.</p
DataSheet_1_Aboveground herbivory does not affect mycorrhiza-dependent nitrogen acquisition from soil but inhibits mycorrhizal network-mediated nitrogen interplant transfer in maize.pdf
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture due to their ability to facilitate plant uptake of important mineral elements, such as nitrogen (N). However, plant mycorrhiza-dependent N uptake and interplant transfer may be highly context-dependent, and whether it is affected by aboveground herbivory remains largely unknown. Here, we used 15N labeling and tracking to examine the effect of aboveground insect herbivory by Spodoptera frugiperda on mycorrhiza-dependent N uptake in maize (Zea mays L.). To minimize consumption differences and 15N loss due to insect chewing, insect herbivory was simulated by mechanical wounding and oral secretion of S. frugiperda larvae. Inoculation with Rhizophagus irregularis (Rir) significantly improved maize growth, and N/P uptake. The 15N labeling experiment showed that maize plants absorbed N from soils via the extraradical mycelium of mycorrhizal fungi and from neighboring plants transferred by common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs). Simulated aboveground leaf herbivory did not affect mycorrhiza-mediated N acquisition from soil. However, CMN-mediated N transfer from neighboring plants was blocked by leaf simulated herbivory. Our findings suggest that aboveground herbivory inhibits CMN-mediated N transfer between plants but does not affect N acquisition from soil solutions via extraradical mycorrhizal mycelium.</p
