Exploring the world of small proteins in plant biology and bioengineering.
Small proteins are ubiquitous in all kingdoms of life. MicroProteins, initially characterized as small proteins with protein interaction domains that enable them to interact with larger multidomain proteins, frequently modulate the function of these proteins. The study of these small proteins has contributed to a greater comprehension of protein regulation. In addition to sequence homology, sequence-divergent small proteins have the potential to function as microProtein mimics, binding to structurally related proteins. Moreover, a multitude of other small proteins encoded by short open reading frames (sORFs) and peptides, derived from diverse sources such as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and miRNAs, contribute to a variety of biological processes. The potential of small proteins is evident, offering promising avenues for bioengineering that could revolutionize crop performance and reduce reliance on agrochemicals in future agriculture.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1985, Trends in Genetics swiftly established itself as a "must-read" for geneticists, offering concise, accessible articles covering a spectrum of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This reputation endures, making TiG a cherished resource in the genetic research community. While evolving with the field, the journal now embraces new areas like genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, alongside its continued coverage of traditional subjects such as transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology.
Despite expanding its scope, the core objective of TiG remains steadfast: to furnish researchers and students with high-quality, innovative reviews, commentaries, and discussions, fostering an appreciation for advances in genetic research. Each issue of TiG presents lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions, alongside shorter articles like Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Invited from leading researchers, Reviews objectively chronicle recent developments, Opinions provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles explore the intersection of genetics with science and policy, as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles undergo rigorous peer-review.
