Background: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) shares less typical onco-drivers and target resistance, but a high overall mutation rate and marked genomic complexity. Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency leads to microsatellite instability (MSI) and genomic instability. MSI is not an ideal option for prognosis of LUSC, whereas its function deserves exploration. Method: MSI status was classified by MMR proteins using unsupervised clustering in the TCGA-LUSC dataset. The MSI score of each sample was determined by gene set variation analysis...

The ribosomal protein RPS5 is one of the prime proteins to combine with RNA and belongs to the conserved ribosomal protein family. It plays a substantial role in the process of translation and also has some non-ribosome functions. Despite the enormous studies on the relationship between the structure and function of prokaryotic RPS7, the structure and molecular details of the mechanism of eukaryotic RPS5 remain largely unexplored. This article focuses on the structure of RPS5 and its role in cells and diseases, especially the binding to 18S rRNA...

BACKGROUND: Seagrasses are a polyphyletic group of monocotyledonous angiosperms that have evolved to live entirely submerged in marine waters. Thus, these species are ideal for studying plant adaptation to marine environments. Herein, we sequenced the chloroplast (cp) genomes of two seagrass species (Zostera muelleri and Halophila ovalis) and performed a comparative analysis of them with 10 previously published seagrasses, resulting in various novel findings. RESULTS: The cp genomes of the seagrasses ranged in size from 143,877 bp (Zostera marina) to 178,261 bp (Thalassia hemprichii), and also varied in size among different families in the following order: Hydrocharitaceae > Cymodoceaceae > Ruppiaceae > Zosteraceae...

BACKGROUND: The genus Zingiber of the Zingiberaceae is distributed in tropical, subtropical, and in Far East Asia. This genus contains about 100-150 species, with many species valued as important agricultural, medicinal and horticultural resources. However, genomic resources and suitable molecular markers for species identification are currently sparse. RESULTS: We conducted comparative genomics and phylogenetic analyses on Zingiber species. The Zingiber chloroplast genome (size range 162,507-163,711 bp) possess typical quadripartite structures that consist of a large single copy (LSC, 86,986-88,200 bp), a small single copy (SSC, 15,498-15,891 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 29,765-29,934 bp)...

BACKGROUND: Seagrasses are higher marine flowering plants that evolved from terrestrial plants, but returned to the sea during the early evolution of monocotyledons through several separate lineages. Thus, they become a good model for studying the adaptation of plants to the marine environment. Sequencing of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of seagrasses is essential for understanding their evolutionary characteristics. RESULTS: In this study, we sequenced the mt genome of two endangered seagrasses (Zostera japonica and Phyllospadix iwatensis)...

Psychotria viridis (Rubioideae: Rubiaceae), popularly known as chacrona , is commonly found as a shrub in the Amazon region and is well-known to produce psychoactive compounds, such as the N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Together with the liana Banisteropsis caapi , P. viridis is one of the main components of the Amerindian traditional, entheogenic beverage known as ayahuasca. In this work, we assembled and annotated the organellar genomes (ptDNA and mtDNA), presenting the first genomics resources for this species...

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is widely used in cruciferous vegetables hybrid breeding. The C5-type CMS cabbage line exhibits stable male sterility and offers great value for cabbage breeding. However, the underlying CMS mechanism remains unclear. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced and assembled for this line. The genome size was 221,862 bp. Mitochondrial genome comparison showed that the mitochondrial genome was likely generated by recombination with a nap -type CMS B. napus strain. Sixty-seven unknown-function open reading frames (ORFs) were identified...

Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by erythroid aplasia. Pathogenic variants in ribosomal protein (RP) genes, GATA1, TSR2, and EPO, are considered to be the etiology of DBA. Variants in 5'-untranslated regions (UTRs) of these genes are poorly studied and can complicate the variant interpretation. We investigated the functional consequences NM_001011.4:c.-19 + 1G > T variant in the donor splice-site of the RPS7 5'-UTR. This variant was found in a family where two sons with DBA were carriers...

Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is predominantly underlined by mutations in genes encoding ribosomal proteins (RP); however, its etiology remains unexplained in approximately 25 % of patients. We previously reported a novel heterozygous RPS7 mutation hg38 chr2:g.3,580,153G > T p.V134F in one female patient and two asymptomatic family members, in whom mild anemia and increased erythrocyte adenosine deaminase (eADA) activity were detected. We observed that altered erythrocyte metabolism and oxidative stress which may negatively affect the lifespan of erythrocytes distinguishes the patient from her asymptomatic family members...

The cerebrovascular-specific molecular mechanism in Alzheimer's disease (AD) was investigated by employing comprehensive and accurate quantitative proteomics. Highly purified brain capillaries were isolated from cerebral gray and white matter of four AD and three control donors, and examined by SWATH (sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion spectra) proteomics. Of the 29 ribosomal proteins that were quantified, 28 (RPLP0, RPL4, RPL6, RPL7A, RPL8, RPL10A, RPL11, RPL12, RPL14, RPL15, RPL18, RPL23, RPL27, RPL27A, RPL31, RPL35A, RPS2, RPS3, RPS3A, RPS4X, RPS7, RPS8, RPS14, RPS16, RPS20, RPS24, RPS25, and RPSA) were significantly upregulated in AD patients...

BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease involving multiple organs, with atypical clinical manifestations and indefinite diagnosis and treatment. So far, the etiology of the disease is not completely clear. Current studies have known the interaction of genetic system, endocrine system, infection, environment, and other factors. Due to abnormal immune function, the human body, with the participation of various immune cells such as T cells and B cells, abnormally recognizes autoantigens, so as to produce a variety of autoantibodies and combine them to form immune complexes...

The sturgeons (order Acipenseriformes) are caviar producers and some of the most valuable fish species worldwide. Due to different reasons, wild populations are now at the brink of extinction. The high demand for caviar has led to the development of aquaculture for restocking and caviar production. Since the caviar from different species has different prices depending on the quality and attempts of commercial fraud based on species substitution have been found, correct species identification is more than necessary...

Ceriops and Avicennia are true mangroves in the middle and seaward zones of mangrove forests, respectively. The chloroplast genomes of Ceriops decandra , Ceriops zippeliana , and Ceriops tagal were assembled into lengths of 166,650, 166,083 and 164,432 bp, respectively, whereas Avicennia lanata was 148,264 bp in length. The gene content and gene order are highly conserved among these species. The chloroplast genome contains 125 genes in A. lanata and 129 genes in Ceriops species. Three duplicate genes ( rpl2 , rpl23 , and trnM-CAU ) were found in the IR regions of the three Ceriops species, resulting in expansion of the IR regions...

Tylosema esculentum (marama bean), a wild legume from tropical Africa, has long been considered as a potential crop for local farmers due to its rich nutritional value. Genomics research of marama is indispensable for the domestication and varietal improvement of the bean. The chloroplast genome of marama has been sequenced and assembled previously using a hybrid approach based on both Illumina and PacBio data. In this study, a similar method was used to assemble the mitochondrial genome of marama. The mitochondrial genome of the experimental individual has been confirmed to have two large circles OK638188 and OK638189, which do not recombine according to the data...
