报告一:Signaling spread through plasmodesmata and its regulation

报告内容简介:

Cell-to-cell communication is a pivotal process in the determination of cell fate during development and physiological adaptation in response to environmental stimuli. The intercellular movement of proteins and RNAs in addition to the movement of phytohormones has emerged as a novel mechanism of cell-to-cell signaling in plants. As a strategy for efficient intercellular communication, plants have evolved plant-specific symplasmic communication networks via plasmodesmata (PD). These processes play an important role to regulate the plant growth and development. However, mechanism of PD regulation and machineries of macromolecule trafficking are still largely unknown. We used reverse genetic approaches to identify callose synthase that control callose accumulation at PD, resulting in the regulation of PD pore size. We showed that PD regulation is tightly controlled by a callose synthase, AtGSL8, of which function is required for auxin gradient during tropism. We will also introduce our research interest related to plasmodesmal biology.

报告二:Metabolic engineering of E. coli as a platform strain for isoprenoids production

报告内容简介:

Isoprenoids, also called terpenoids, are a large and diverse class of naturally-occurring compounds. They are present in all living organisms and include many important drugs, valuable flavor and fragrance compounds, pigments, antioxidants, steroids and natural polymers. They are derived from five-carbon universal building blocks assembled and modified in various ways. IPP (isopentenyl diphosphate) and DMAPP (dimethylallyl diphosphate) are the building blocks which are produced from either the mevalonic acid (MVA) or methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathways. The increased synthesis of building blocks of IPP and DMAPP through metabolic engineering is a way to enhance the production of terpenoids. Using E. coli as a host, IPP and DMAPP supply can be increased significantly through the introduction of foreign MVA (mevalonate) pathway into it. The MVA pathway is split into two parts with the top and bottom portions supplying mevalonate from acetyl-CoA, and IPP and DMAPP from mevalonate, respectively. The E. coli harboring the bottom MVA pathway of S. pneumoniae and the top MVA pathway of E. faecalis produced the highest amount of carotenoids. The carotenoids are tetraterpenoid pigment molecules, facilitating metabolic engineering for the pathway optimization because of their convenient colorimetric screening properties. Because the root of all terpenoids synthesis pathway share the universal C5 metabolic precursors (IPP and DMAPP), metabolic engineering work with carotenoids can provide genetic platforms for the production of other valuable isoprenoids. We successfully produced the valuable compounds of coenzyme Q10 and retinoids using the platform E. coli strain resulting from the carotenoids works.
