実際に自分でAF3で遊んでみると、RNAにはTではなくUがあり、それはAだけでなくGとも噛み合うという基礎事項の重みをまざまざと見せつけられる。

Preprint alert! It is my great pleasure to announce the first manuscript from the lab, a story that started @gmivienna.bsky.social and was mainly accomplished by the intrepid @gesahoffmann.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social. A brief thread with our findings

AGO5 restricts virus vertical transmission in plant gametophytes
The propagation of a viral infection from a host parent to its progeny is known as vertical transmission, or seed transmission in plants. It allows viral infections to rapidly spread locally via polle...

New Article: "Pathogen-induced condensation of the guard cell RNA-binding protein SAIR1 fine-tunes translation for immunity" rdcu.be/eP4kN

SAIR1 forms phosphorylation-regulated condensates in guard cells, which link PAMP–MPK3/6 signalling to stomatal immunity.

プラスミドの設計図とか、配列の登録じゃダメなのかな。「で、どこに何挿れたの?」ってなることが多い。プライマーリストから逆算してガチャガチャ解読するのめんどい。

A newly identified molecular mechanism shows that nuclear RNA migrates to chloroplasts to regulate the timing of leaf aging, offering insights into plant development and crop productivity. doi.org/g98qfn
Molecular 'switch' that controls aging of plant leaves discovered
A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from the nucleus moves to chloroplasts and regulates the aging of plant leaves.

死亡事故自体起こってはならんことなんですが、徳島のやつは27歳の特別研究学生っていうのがどういう身分なのかなぁっていうのがね…責任者をとっちめたいというのではなく、その人の心身の健康に誰も責任をもってくれない立場だったりしたのかなと切なくなる。あまり現所属(ラボ単位ではなく研究機関レベルの話)の悪口を言うのはよろしくないのですが、結局学振PDとしては雇ってくれないと決まった時の何かに取り残されたようなあの感覚。やっぱりあって良いことではないと思うんですよな。

たった今気づいて、道歩きながら声が出たんだけど、RNAがポリシストロニックであることの一つの重大なメリットは、自動的に同所翻訳が可能になることだわ。なんでD論書いてる時に思いつかなかったんだ。

1/10 Genome maintenance by telomerase is a fundamental process in nearly all eukaryotes. But where does it come from?

Today, we report the discovery of telomerase homologs in a family of antiviral RTs, revealing an unexpected evolutionary origin in bacteria.

Antiviral reverse transcriptases reveal the evolutionary origin of telomerase
Defense-associated reverse transcriptases (DRTs) employ diverse and distinctive mechanisms of cDNA synthesis to protect bacteria against viral infection. However, much of DRT family diversity remains ...
