A research team led by Prof. LIU Xuncheng from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has identified a critical regulatory role for acetylation modifications in phot1 function. Their study reveals that acetylation at multiple lysine residues of phot1, particularly a conserved site (K636), modulates the protein's auto-phosphorylation and kinase activity, directly influencing plant phototropism.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that water availability combined with phosphorus limitation or herbivory created an advantage for alien plant species over natives.
A research team led by Prof. LIU Zhenfeng from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has solved four high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures that unveil how a critical protein, Thylakoid Enriched Fraction 30 (TEF30), facilitates the repair and assembly of PSII in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a model green alga.
A research team led by Prof. GU Hongcang and ZHANG Fan from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-driven regulatory network that plays a central role in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and immune response.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences showed that the presence of critically endangered Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) is associated with significantly more robust and abundant mammal communities in tropical forests.
Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the collaborators developed a novel recombinase-based lineage tracing system. By using this system, they for the first time directly observed the awakening of DTCs after persistent dormancy, and investigated the effect of chemotherapeutic drugs during the process.
