It is intricately controlled by various regulatory factors, including <em>WRKY</em> transcription factors (TFs). <em>WRKY</em>s are one of the most significant plant TF families, and several of them are differentially regulated and important during LS. Recent research has enhanced our understanding of the structural and functional characteristics of <em>WRKY</em> TFs, providing insights into their regulatory roles.<h3>Aim of review</h3>This review aims to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the intricate regulatory networks associated with LS by investigating the role of <em>WRKY</em> TFs. We seek to highlight the importance of <em>WRKY</em>-mediated signaling pathways in understanding LS, plant evolution, and response to varying environmental conditions.<h3>Key scientific concepts of review</h3><em>WRKY</em> TFs exhibit specific DNA-binding activity at the N-terminus and dynamic interactions of the intrinsically disordered domain at the C-terminus with various proteins. These <em>WRKY</em> TFs not only control the activity of other <em>WRKYs</em>, but also interact with either <em>WRKY</em>s or other TFs, thereby fine- tuning the expression of target genes. By unraveling the complex interactions and regulatory mechanisms of <em>WRKY</em> TFs, this review broadens our knowledge of the genetic and molecular basis of LS. Understanding <em>WRKY</em>-mediated signalling pathways provides crucial insights into specific aspects of plant development, such as stress-induced senescence, and offers potential strategies for improving crop resilience to environmental stresses like drought and pathogen attacks. By targeting these pathways, it may be possible to enhance specific productivity traits, such as increased yield stability under adverse conditions, thereby contributing to more reliable agricultural outputs.","PeriodicalId":14952,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142369654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Defective cilia often cause a suite of inherited diseases called ciliopathies with multifaceted manifestations. Intraflagellar transport (IFT), a bidirectional protein trafficking along the cilium, actively facilitates the formation and absorption of primary cilia. IFT172 is the largest component of the IFT-B complex, and its roles in Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) have been appreciated with unclear mechanisms. We performed a battery of behavioral tests with haploinsufficiency () and WT littermates. We use RNA sequencing to identify the genes and signaling pathways that are differentially expressed and enriched in the hippocampus of mice. Using AAV-mediated sparse labeling, electron microscopic examination, patch clamp and local field potential recording, western blot, luciferase reporter assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and neuropharmacological approach, we investigated the underlying mechanisms for the aberrant phenotypes presented by mice. mice displayed excessive self-grooming, elevated anxiety, and impaired cognition. RNA sequencing revealed enrichment of differentially expressed genes in pathways relevant to axonogenesis and synaptic plasticity, which were further confirmed by less spine density and synaptic number. mice demonstrated fewer parvalbumin-expressing neurons, decreased inhibitory synaptic transmission, augmented theta oscillation, and sharp-wave ripples in the CA1 region. Moreover, haploinsufficiency caused less BDNF production and less activated BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway through transcription factor Gli3. Application of 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone, a potent small molecular TrkB agonist, fully restored BDNF-TrkB signaling activity and abnormal behavioral phenotypes presented by mice. With luciferase and chip assays, we provided further evidence that Gli3 may physically interact with BDNF promoter I and regulate BDNF expression. Our data suggest that Ift172 drives neurotrophic effects and, when defective, could cause neurodevelopmental disorders reminiscent of autism-like disorders.","PeriodicalId":14952,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142231721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparing with other sncRNAs, tsRNA biogenesis show obvious correlation with RNA modifications from mature tRNA and harbor various tRNA modifications. In this review, we aim to present the current aspect of tsRNA modifications and that modified tsRNA shape different regulatory mechanisms in physiological and pathological processes. Strategies for studying tsRNA mechanisms include its specific generation and functional effects induced by sequence/RNA modification/secondary structure. tsRNAs could harbor more than one tRNA modifications such as 5-methylcytosine (mC), N1-methyladenosine (mA), pseudouridine (Ψ) and N7-methylguanosine (mG). This review consolidates the current knowledge of tRNA modification regulating tsRNA biogenesis, outlines the functional roles of various modified tsRNA and highlights their specific contributions in various disease pathogenesis. Therefore, the improvement of tsRNA modification detection technology and the introduction of experimental methods of tsRNA modification are conducive to further broadening the understanding of tsRNA function at the level of RNA modification.","PeriodicalId":14952,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142231720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
