Genome-wide identification and expression profiling analysis of DIR gene family in Setaria italica

Dirigent (DIR) proteins play essential roles in regulating plant growth and development, as well as enhancing resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the whole-genome identification and expression profiling analysis of DIR gene family in millet (Setaria italica (Si)) have not been systematically understood. In this study, we conducted genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the S. italica DIR gene family, including gene structures, conserved domains, evolutionary relationship, chromosomal locations, cis-elements, duplication events, gene collinearity and expression patterns. A total of 38 SiDIR members distributed on nine chromosomes were screened and identified. SiDIR family members in the same group showed higher sequence similarity. The phylogenetic tree divided the SiDIR proteins into six subfamilies: DIR-a, DIR-b/d, DIR-c, DIR-e, DIR-f, and DIR-g. According to the tertiary structure prediction, DIR proteins (like SiDIR7/8/9) themselves may form a trimer to exert function. The result of the syntenic analysis showed that tandem duplication may play the major driving force during the evolution of SiDIRs. RNA-seq data displayed higher expression of 16 SiDIR genes in root tissues, and this implied their potential functions during root development. The results of quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) assays revealed that SiDIR genes could respond to the stress of CaCl2, CdCl, NaCl, and PEG6000. This research shed light on the functions of SiDIRs in responding to abiotic stress and demonstrated their modulational potential during root development. In addition, the membrane localization of SiDIR7/19/22 was confirmed to be consistent with the forecast. The results above will provide a foundation for further and deeper investigation of DIRs

Association of SLC11A1 Polymorphisms With Tuberculosis Susceptibility in the Chinese Han Population

Tuberculosis (TB) is an important health issue in the world. Although the relation of SLC11A1 polymorphisms with TB risk has been extensively studied, it has not been reported in the northwest Chinese Han population. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationships between five polymorphisms in or near the SLC11A1 gene and susceptibility to TB. The Agena MassARRAY platform was conducted for genotyping from 510 TB patients and 508 healthy controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were analyzed through logistic regression adjustment age and gender to assess the relationships between polymorphisms and TB risk. Our results identified that rs7608307 was related to increased TB risk in males (CT vs. CC: OR = 1.69, 95%CI: 1.12–2.56, p = 0.013; CT-TT vs. CC: OR = 1.61, 95%CI: 1.08–2.41, p = 0.020) and age ≤41 group (CT vs. CC: OR = 1.66, 95%CI: 1.04–2.65, p = 0.035), respectively. The SNP rs13062 was associated with the TB risk both in males (p = 0.012) and age >41 group (p = 0.021). In addition, we observed that the CC genotype of rs4674301 was correlated with increased TB risk in females (p = 0.043). Our results demonstrated the relationships between polymorphisms (rs7608307, rs4674301, and rs13062) in or near the SLC11A1 gene and age- and sex-specific TB risk in the northwest Chinese Han population
