sc2GWAS: a comprehensive platform linking single cell and GWAS traits of human

1 year 1 month ago
Identifying cell populations associated with risk variants is essential for uncovering cell-specific mechanisms that drive disease development and progression. Integrating genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has become an effective strategy for detecting trait-cell relationships. The accumulation of trait-related single cell data has led to an urgent need for its comprehensively processing. To address this, we developed sc2GWAS...

Spatial and temporal distribution of ribosomes in single cells reveals aging differences between old and new daughters of Escherichia coli

1 year 1 month ago
Lineages of rod-shaped bacteria such as Escherichia coli exhibit a temporal decline in elongation rate in a manner comparable to cellular or biological aging. The effect results from the production of asymmetrical daughters, one with a lower elongation rate, by the division of a mother cell. The slower daughter compared to the faster daughter, denoted respectively as the old and new daughters, has more aggregates of damaged proteins and fewer expressed gene products. We have examined further the...

The RING-type E3 ligase RIE1 sustains leaf longevity by specifically targeting AtACS7 to fine-tune ethylene production in Arabidopsis

1 year 1 month ago
Ethylene is widely recognized as a positive regulator of leaf senescence. However, how plants coordinate the biosynthesis of ethylene to meet the requirements of senescence progression has not been determined. The rate-limiting enzyme in the ethylene biosynthesis pathway is ACC synthase. AtACS7 was previously considered one of the major contributors to the synthesis of "senescence ethylene" in Arabidopsis. However, the "brake signal" that fine-tunes the expression of AtACS7 to ensure optimal...
