Gene structure, recombinant expression and function characterization of Siniperca chuatsi Fsrp‐3 - Jianhua Wang; Jia Cheng; Yulong Li; Huiling Yan; Ping Wu; Xin Zhu; Li Liu; Lin Chen; Wuying Chu; Jianshe Zhang (Journal of Fish Biology, 2019)
A full‐length complementary (c)DNA sequence encoding follistatin‐related protein 3 ( fsrp‐3 ) was determined from skeletal muscle in Chinese mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi , its molecular structure was characterised and its function suggested. The putative structure of S. chuatsi Fsrp‐3 contains an N‐terminal domain and two follistatin domains. Quantitative reverse‐transcription (qRT)‐PCR assays revealed that fsrp‐3 messenger (m)RNA was differentially expressed among assayed tissues and was highly expressed in heart and intestine. fsrp‐3 mRNA exhibited increasing expression from the larval to the juvenile stage (500 g). To investigate the potential function of S. chuatsi fsrp‐3 in muscle growth, we constructed a Fsrp‐3 prokaryotic expression system and injected the purified Fsrp‐3 fusion protein into the dorsal muscle. Fsrp‐3 administration significantly influenced cross‐section area, satellite cell activation frequency and nuclear density of S. chuatsi muscle fibres. Following Fsrp‐3 treatment, the expression of myogenic regulatory factors was up‐regulated and decline in the expression of myostatin was observed. The study revealed that Fsrp‐3 may affect muscle growth by regulating myogenic regulatory factor expression and antagonizing myostatin function to initiate satellite cell activation and differentiation in S. chuatsi .

Impacts of the combined modes of the tropical Indo‐Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies on the tropical cyclone genesis over the western North Pacific - Yong Liu; Ping Huang; Guanghua Chen (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
This work presents two combined modes of the summer sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the tropical Indo‐Pacific Ocean during 1979–2015 and investigates their influences on the tropical cyclone (TC) genesis frequency (TCGF) over the western North Pacific (WNP). The first mode (referred to as ENSO‐IODM) features Indian Ocean dipole (IOD) SSTAs in the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) and El Niño‐like SSTAs in the tropical Pacific Ocean (TPO) and often appears during the ENSO phase persistence summers. It usually triggers an anomalous cyclone and more TCs over the southeastern WNP together with an anomalous anticyclone and fewer TCs over the northwestern WNP. These are primarily attributed to the effect of the El Niño‐like SSTAs over the TPO. The second mode (referred to as ENM‐IOBM) is characterized by Indian Ocean basin (IOB) positive SSTAs in the TIO and La Niña Modoki‐like (ENSO Modoki; ENM) SSTAs in the TPO and often presents during the ENSO phase transition summers. The combined effects of the IOBM and ENM SSTAs induce an anomalous anticyclone over the WNP that significantly suppresses TC genesis over the central WNP. The impacts of the two combined modes on the WNP TCGF also reveal inter‐decadal changes with significant weakening of the ENSO‐IODM and strengthening of the ENM‐IOBM around the early 1990s. These are attributed to the weakened variability of the ENSO‐IODM and intensified variability of the ENM‐IOBM around the early 1990s, and show largely association with the changes in the ENSO cycle. Most of the ENSO events prior to the early 1990s show a long decaying phase with persistence features but exhibit a short decaying phase even with phase transition after the early 1990s. This brings more ENSO‐IODM structures in the summer TIPO SSTAs before the early 1990s and more ENM‐IOBM structures during the latter period, and thereby results in such above inter‐decadal changes.

Response to Qian et al. (2017): Daily and seasonal climate variations are both critical in the evolution of species’ elevational range size - Wei‐Ping Chan; I‐Ching Chen; Robert K. Colwell; Wei‐Chung Liu; Cho‐ying Huang; Sheng‐Feng Shen (Journal of Biogeography, 2018)
In their recent critique, Qian et al. stated that the results of structural equation modeling analysis ( SEM ) in Chan et al. were flawed. Here, we show that the source of the difference, in their reanalysis, is that Qian et al. did not follow the standard, iterative strategy of SEM , which allows researchers to evaluate which model offers the best account of the data in both absolute and relative terms. Here, we provide step‐by‐step instructions to reproduce our published results. We address—and aim to resolve—Qian et al.'s concerns regarding SEM . Moreover, in our original paper, we used three distinct statistical methods—hierarchical partitioning, SEM and stationary bootstrap—to show that different temporal scales of environmental variability differentially impact the elevational range size ( ERS ) of species. We believe it is time to move on to probing the pressing issue of how and why climatic variability impacts ERS .

MoPpe1 partners with MoSap1 to mediate TOR and cell wall integrity signalling in growth and pathogenicity of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae - Bin Qian; Xinyu Liu; Jia Jia; Yongchao Cai; Chen Chen; Haifeng Zhang; Xiaobo Zheng; Ping Wang; Zhengguang Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary In the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , the cell wall integrity (CWI) signalling pathway governs cell wall changes in response to external cues and normal CWI signalling is critical for appressorium function and pathogenicity. We previously characterized the mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase MoMkk1 as an integral component of the CWI pathway. Using the affinity purification approach, we have identified MoMkk1‐interacting MoPpe1 as a homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae serine/threonine protein phosphatase Sit4/Ppe1. We found that MoPpe1 is required for vegetative growth, conidiation and full virulence. In addition, we found that MoPpe1 interacts with MoSap1, a protein with functions similar to MoPpe1. Intriguingly, we found that MoPpe1–MoSap1 interaction is related to CWI and target of rapamycin (TOR) pathways. We presented evidence suggesting that MoPpe1 and MoSap1 function as an adaptor complex linking CWI and TOR signalling and that the activation of the TOR pathway leads to suppression of CWI signalling, resulting in defects in appressorium function and pathogenicity. Taken together, our studies not only reveal important functions of MoMkk1–MoPpe1–MoSap1 interactions in growth and pathogenicity of the blast fungus, but also highlight the complexity of regulatory networks involving conserved yet novel regulatory mechanisms of CWI and TOR signalling.

2,3‐Butanediol catabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 - Qiuyuan Liu; Yidong Liu; Zhaoqi Kang; Dan Xiao; Chao Gao; Ping Xu; Cuiqing Ma (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary 2,3‐Butanediol (2,3‐BD) is a primary microbial metabolite that enhances the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and alters the lung microbiome. 2,3‐BD exists in three stereoisomeric forms: (2 R ,3 R )‐2,3‐BD, meso ‐2,3‐BD and (2 S ,3 S )‐2,3‐BD. In this study, we investigated whether and how P. aeruginosa PAO1 utilizes these 2,3‐BD stereoisomers and showed that all three stereoisomers were transformed into acetoin by (2 R ,3 R )‐2,3‐butanediol dehydrogenase (BDH) or (2 S ,3 S )‐2,3‐BDH. Acetoin was cleaved to form acetyl‐CoA and acetaldehyde by acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system (AoDH ES). Genes encoding (2 R ,3 R )‐2,3‐BDH, (2 S ,3 S )‐2,3‐BDH and the E1 and E2 components of AoDH ES were identified as part of a new 2,3‐BD utilization operon. In addition, the regulatory protein AcoR promoted the expression of this operon using acetaldehyde, a cleavage product of acetoin, as its direct effector. The results of this study elucidate the integrated catabolic role of 2,3‐BD and may provide new insights in P. aeruginosa‐ related infections.

Altered freeze‐thaw cycle ( FTC ) patterns due to global climate change may affect nitrogen (N) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the general responses of soil N pools and fluxes to different FTC patterns are still poorly understood. Here, we compiled data of 1519 observations from 63 studies and conducted a meta‐analysis of the responses of 17 variables involved in terrestrial N pools and fluxes to FTC . Results showed that under FTC treatment, soil NH 4 + , NO 3 − , NO 3 − leaching, and N 2 O emission significantly increased by 18.5%, 18.3%, 66.9%, and 144.9%, respectively; and soil total N ( TN ) and microbial biomass N ( MBN ) significantly decreased by 26.2% and 4.7%, respectively; while net N mineralization or nitrification rates did not change. Temperate and cropland ecosystems with relatively high soil nutrient contents were more responsive to FTC than alpine and arctic tundra ecosystems with rapid microbial acclimation. Therefore, altered FTC patterns (such as increased duration of FTC , temperature of freeze, amplitude of freeze, and frequency of FTC ) due to global climate warming would enhance the release of inorganic N and the losses of N via leaching and N 2 O emissions. Results of this meta‐analysis help better understand the responses of N cycling to FTC and the relationships between FTC patterns and N pools and N fluxes.

Evolutionary relationships of two balitorids (Cypriniformes, Balitoridae) revealed by comparative mitogenomics - Li‐Xia Shi; Chen Zhang; Yin‐Ping Wang; Qiong‐Ying Tang; Patrick D. Danley; Huan‐Zhang Liu (Zoologica Scripta, 2018)
Balitoridae, a family within the Cypriniformes, inhabit torrential mountain streams in Asia. Although they have long fascinated ichthyologists for their numerous adaptations to this tumultuous environment, the evolutionary history of this group remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the evolutionary relationships of the balitorids with particular attention to the phylogenetic placement of two balitorid species, Yaoshania pachychulis and Erromyzon kalotaenia . Both species have extremely limited distributions, they are limited to Mt. Dayaoshan of the Pearl River in China and require dedicated conservation plans. However, little is known about their evolutionary relationships to other balitorids. Here, we examined the evolutionary relationships of Y. pachychulis and E. kalotaenia to each other and other balitorids through sequencing the complete mitochondrial genomes of nine balitorid individuals. For the newly sequenced balitorids, the length of the whole mitogenome, gene arrangement and their base composition are similar to those of other bony fishes. Analyses based on these newly sequenced mitogenomes and an additional 50 previously published mitogenomes show that Y. pachychulis and E. kalotaenia cluster as different clade within the subfamily Gastromyzontinae. The genetic distance between these two species ranges from 0.127 ± 0.003 to 0.132 ± 0.004 which is slightly higher than that between some genera (e.g. the distance between Vanmanenia and Metahomaloptera is 0.127 ± 0.004). Therefore, it is reasonable to assign Y. pachychulis and E. kalotaenia to different genera. Phylogenetic signal assessment suggested that ND 1 , ND 4 and ND 5 genes as well as their concatenated subsets perform relatively well in reconstructing the Cobitoidea phylogeny. The divergence time estimation indicated that the balitorids distributed in Mt. Dayaoshan might have originated and evolved following the flattening and uplifting of the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau during the late Miocene to late Pliocene.

VPS9 domain‐containing proteins are essential for autophagy and endocytosis in Pyricularia oryzae - Xue‐Ming Zhu; Shuang Liang; Huan‐Bin Shi; Jian‐Ping Lu; Bo Dong; Qian‐Sheng Liao; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Pyricularia oryzae is the causal pathogen of rice blast disease. Autophagy has been shown to play important roles in P . oryzae development and plant infection. The P. oryzae endosomal system is highly dynamic and has been shown to be associated with conidiogenesis and pathogenicity as well. To date, the crosstalk between autophagy and endocytosis has not been explored in P. oryzae . Here, we identified three P. oryzae VPS9 domain‐containing proteins, PoVps9, PoMuk1 and PoVrl1. We found that PoVps9 and PoMuk1 are localized to vesicles and are each co‐localized with PoVps21, a recognized marker of early endosomes. Deletion of PoVPS9 resulted in severe defects in endocytosis and autophagosome degradation and impaired the localization of PoVps21 to endosomes. Additionally, deletion of the PoMUK1 gene in the Δ Povps9 mutant background exhibited more severe defects in development, autophagy and endocytosis compared with the Δ Povps9 mutant. Pull‐down assay showed that PoVps9 interacts with PoVps21, PoRab11 and PoRab1, which have been verified to participate in endocytosis. Furthermore, yeast two‐hybrid and co‐immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that PoVps9 directly interacts with the GDP form of PoVps21. Thus, PoVps9 is a key protein involved in autophagy and in endocytosis.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Downregulation of the Long Non-Coding RNA Meg3 Promotes Angiogenesis After Ischemic Brain Injury by Activating Notch Signaling - Juan Liu; Qing Li; Kun-shan Zhang; Bin Hu; Xin Niu; Shu-min Zhou; Si-guang Li; Yu-ping Luo; Yang Wang; Zhi-feng Deng (Molecular Neurobiology, 2017)
Angiogenesis after ischemic brain injury contributes to the restoration of blood supply in the ischemic zone. Strategies to improve angiogenesis may facilitate the function recovery after stroke. Recent researches have demonstrated that dysfunction of long non-coding RNAs are associated with angiogenesis. We have previously reported that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are aberrantly expressed in ischemic stroke. However, little is known about long non-coding RNAs and theirs role in angiogenesis after stroke. In this study, we identified a rat lncRNAs, Meg3, and found that Meg3 was significantly decreased after ischemic stroke. Overexpression of Meg3 suppressed functional recovery and decreased capillary density after ischemic stroke. Downregulation of Meg3 ameliorated brain lesion and increased angiogenesis after ischemic stroke. Silencing of Meg3 resulted in a proangiogenic effect evidenced by increased endothelial cell migration, proliferation, sprouting, and tube formation. Mechanistically, we showed that Meg3 negatively regulated notch pathway both in vivo and in vitro. Inhibition of notch signaling in endothelial cells reversed the proangiogenic effect induced by Meg3 downregulation. This study revealed the function of Meg3 in ischemic stroke and elucidated its mechanism in angiogenesis after ischemic stroke.

Phospholipase D and phosphatidic acid mediate heat stress induced secondary metabolism in Ganoderma lucidum - Yong‐Nan Liu; Xiao‐Xiao Lu; Dai Chen; Ya‐Ping Lu; Ang Ren; Liang Shi; Jing Zhu; Ai‐Liang Jiang; Han‐Shou Yu; Ming‐Wen Zhao (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Phospholipid‐mediated signal transduction plays a key role in responses to environmental changes, but little is known about the role of phospholipid signalling in microorganisms. Heat stress (HS) is one of the most important environmental factors. Our previous study found that HS could induce the biosynthesis of the secondary metabolites, ganoderic acids (GA). Here, we performed a comprehensive mass spectrometry‐based analysis to investigate HS‐induced lipid remodelling in Ganoderma lucidum . In particular, we observed a significant accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PA) on HS. Further genetic tests in which pld ‐silencing strains were constructed demonstrated that the accumulation of PA is dependent on HS‐activated phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolysing phosphatidylethanolamine. Furthermore, we determined the role of PLD and PA in HS‐induced secondary metabolism in G . lucidum . Exogenous 1‐butanol, which decreased PLD‐mediated formation of PA, reverses the increased GA biosynthesis that was elicited by HS. The pld ‐silenced strains partly blocked HS‐induced GA biosynthesis, and this block can be reversed by adding PA. Taken together, our results suggest that PLD and PA are involved in the regulation of HS‐induced secondary metabolism in G . lucidum . Our findings provide key insights into how microorganisms respond to heat stress and then consequently accumulate secondary metabolites by phospholipid remodelling.

The ArfGAP protein MoGlo3 regulates the development and pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae - Shengpei Zhang; Xiu Liu; Lianwei Li; Rui Yu; Jialiang He; Haifeng Zhang; Xiaobo Zheng; Ping Wang; Zhengguang Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary The ADP ribosylation factor (Arf) and the coat protein complex I (COPI) are involved in vesicle transport. Together with GTPase‐activating proteins (ArfGAPs) and guanine exchange factors (ArfGEFs) that regulate the activity of Arf, they govern vesicle formation, COPI trafficking and the maintenance of the Golgi complex. In an ongoing effort to study the role of membrane trafficking in pathogenesis of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , we identified MoGlo3 as an ArfGAP protein that is homologous to Glo3p of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae . As suspected, MoGlo3 partially complements the function of yeast Glo3p. Consistent with findings in S. cerevisiae , MoGlo3 is localized to the Golgi, and that the localization is dependent on the conserved BoCCS domain. We found that MoGlo3 is highly expressed during conidiation and early infection stages and is required for vegetative growth, conidial production and sexual development. We further found that the Δ Moglo3 mutant is defective in endocytosis, scavenging of the reactive oxygen species, and in the response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The combined effects result in failed appressorium function and decreased pathogenicity. Moreover, we provided evidence showing that the domains including the GAP, BoCCS and GRM are all important for normal MoGlo3 functions. Our studies further illustrate the importance of normal membrane trafficking in the physiology and pathogenicity of the rice blast fungus.
