CASEIN KINASE2-Dependent Phosphorylation of PHOSPHATE2 Fine-tunes Phosphate Homeostasis in Rice

By www.plantphysiol.org
Published On :: 2020-05-08T08:30:48-07:00

Plants have evolved complex physiological and biochemical mechanisms to adapt to a heterogeneous soil phosphorus environment. PHOSPHATE2 (PHO2) is a phosphate (Pi) starvation-signaling regulator involved in maintaining Pi homeostasis in plants. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) PHO2 targets PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER1 (PHT1) and PHO1 for degradation, whereas rice (Oryza sativa) PHO2 is thought to mediate PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER TRAFFIC FACILITATOR1 degradation. However, it is unclear whether and how PHO2 is post-translationally regulated. Here, we show that in rice, the CASEIN KINASE2 (OsCK2) catalytic subunit OsCK2α3 interacts with OsPHO2 in vitro and in vivo in vascular tissues cells, and phosphorylates OsPHO2 at Ser-841. Phosphorylated OsPHO2 is degraded more rapidly than native OsPHO2 in cell-free degradation assays. OsPHO2 interacts with OsPHO1 and targets it for degradation through a multivesicular body-mediated pathway. PHO1 mutation partially rescued the pho2 mutant phenotype. Further genetic analysis showed that a nonphosphorylatable version of OsPHO2 rescued the Ospho2 phenotype of high Pi accumulation in leaves better than native OsPHO2. In addition to the previously established role of OsCK2 in negatively regulating endoplasmic reticulum exit of PHT1 phosphate transporters, this work uncovers a role for OsCK2α3 in modulating Pi homeostasis through regulating the phosphorylation status and abundance of OsPHO2 in rice.

    Tune-free pop and the new Katie Hopkins: our 2020 celebrity predictions

    By www.theguardian.com
    Published On :: 2020-01-02T17:46:25Z

    What does our crystal ball say the new year will bring for celebs? Sex tapes, terrible singing and off-the-cuff sofa jokes that ignite the far right. Sounds great!

    There are two ways to spend New Year’s Eve, as best as I can tell: you either dirty the floor of a house party and spend the smallest of the small hours running desperately out of drinkable alcohol until you realise it’s 7am and the sun is up and you just watched yourself pour Pepsi Max into half a cup of Bailey’s until they both curdled into a sort of vomitty pâté; or you watched Jools at home with a blanket over your legs, in bed with your teeth brushed by 10 past 12. You get absolutely zero points for guessing which one of the two I saw the new year in with. My body is still shaking.

    Fair to say, too, that celebrities have yet to emerge blinkingly into the new decade. In the Christmas lull, the famous go into one of two modes of hibernation: either posting a succession of matching-pyjama family selfies in million-pound mansions that are identically decorated with plush beige carpets and tasteful but anonymous tonal greys; or going on holiday somewhere unthinkably lush and posting: “How’s the weather back home!” while sizzling in a hammock over aquamarine Maldivian waters. What I am saying is that there is no news, all right, and we can’t spend 1,200 words having a go at Cats again, so we simply have to preview the year 2020 and have a stab at guessing what the world of fame has for us. Is it a cop-out? Or is it actually quite a decent effort for someone who still has “brandy” in his system and who many doctors would advise shouldn’t be sitting upright at this still-early stage in his hangover? Well exactly. Let’s get on with it.

    There's a little more than a week to go before the Democratic National Convention begins in Boston. Senator John Kerry is both raising and spending money at a furious pace. The Kerry campaign raised about $182 million from March through June. Senator Kerry also outspent President George Bush in advertising throughout most of the summer. But the president still has more cash on hand, reportedly $63 million at the end of May. That's the latest figure available. The president also has more time to spend that money before accepting his Republican nomination on September 2. Anthony Corrado is an expert on campaign finance.

    For his latest drama, Corneliu Porumboiu revived a language unique to the valleys of La Gomera in the Canary Islands; a steep learning curve for his actors – and our writer

    Try to imagine the least film-noir scene possible and you might come up with a group of five-year-olds learning to whistle. It is late morning, pre-lockdown, in a classroom at Nereida Díaz Abreu school on La Gomera in the Canary Islands, and the teacher – a bent knuckle crammed in his mouth – is relaying instructions in a piercing, swooping, set of whistles. The kids look quizzically skywards, then collapse in hysterics, although most eventually nail it.

    “Touch your left ear with your right hand,” the teacher reiterates in Spanish.

    Mumbai: Armed with rakhis, Palghar cops 'fine' tune challans for Kerala relief

    By www.mid-day.com
    Published On :: 27 Aug 2018 07:30:49 GMT

    On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, the Palghar police on Sunday were fining traffic violators with kindness in the Vasai division. As part of the 'Rakhi with Khakhi' initiative, women police constables deployed at five spots were stopping those found breaking traffic rules, tying a rakhi on their wrist, and instead of slapping a fine on them, were asking them to donate whatever they could for flood-ravaged Kerala.

    The constables were deployed at Babhola, Ambadi, Panchvati, T-Point and Evershine City in Vasai for over two hours in the morning. They caught several motorists for not wearing helmets and speeding. Women traffic violators were also stopped; however, instead of a rakhi, they got chocolates and roses and were asked to pay back in kind if they wished to.

    Motorist Aslam Shaikh said, "Police caught me at Vasai naka for not wearing a helmet. The cops tied a rakhi, and I was asked to pay in the donation box. The money will be used for relief in Kerala. It is a really impressive initiative."

    There were some motorists who, despite not violating rules, stopped near the cops to donate for the cause, like Vasai resident Nitesh Bhalerao. "I was passing by and saw women police officers tying a rakhi on the wrists of motorists. Out of curiosity, I stopped my motorcycle and put forward my hand for the rakhi. As a gift, I donated some amount for Kerala. It was a really good gesture by the Palghar police," he said.

    Speaking to mid-day about the funds they managed to collect through this exercise, Additional Superintendent of Police Vijaykant Sagar said, "The initiative 'Rakhi with Khaki', which was carried out from 10 am to 1 pm, helped us collect Rs 70,000, which will be transferred to the Kerala Chief Minister's Relief Fund."

Check out Radio Madhuban in Mount Abu, where they play a dramatised enactment of Bhil warrior Bheema Nayak, and Daulat Singh, complete with dialogues, background music and caricaturish British accents. Or if you like, check out the theme song of Radio Luxembourg, which was taken over by the Nazis at the start of WWII and then used to broadcast wartime propaganda.

    Music, with a dash of history, is what you would find at Radio Garden, a project launched in December by Dutch companies Studio Puckey and Studio Moniker in collaboration with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. It was first posted on Reddit before it went viral. The website/app takes the form of an interactive globe, with each station indicated by a green dot. Rotate the globe, choose a country or station and listen in.

    You can listen to Urdu ghazals in Pakistan, hover over the United Kingdom and marvel at different accents, and browse through radio channels of hospitals. Hop over to the Vatican City radio, and listen to broadcasts in Tamil too. Occasionally, you will also find English music, like we did at Brno's Kiss Hady, which played Adele's Addicted to You or the hit Queen track, It's a Kind of Magic at Spain's Radio Andaludia Este.

    Each station you choose gives you the region, their time, and a link to the station's website. Even if you cannot recognise the language, it's easy to figure when ads are on air (clue: look for fast-speaking, high-pitched, excited voices). You can also hear clips from history in the History section; stories from listeners in the Stories section and fun radio jingles, with detailed information about them in the Jingles section.

    There are a few dead ends, with unresponsive stations or those that are unavailable for access from India, but there's over 8,000 others to choose from.

    Shikhar Dhawan looking to fine-tune musical skills amidst lockdown

    By www.mid-day.com
    Published On :: 15 Apr 2020 03:58:48 GMT

    The current lockdown has seen people restricted indoors and many are picking up new hobbies. Energetic India opener Shikhar Dhawan on Tuesday revealed he is trying his hand at playing a flute and honing his overall musical skills.

    "Playing a musical instrument, the vibrations you can feel inside your body. Music gives you peace and everybody should try to learn how to play a musical instrument now especially because we have so much time to spend at home due to the lockdown," Dhawan said while chatting with India middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer on Instagram Live.

    The dashing southpaw also played the flute on Iyer's request.

    Dhawan picked Dale Steyn as the most difficult bowler he has faced along with off-spinners on turning wickets.

    Asked to pick his most special knock, Dhawan chose the match-winning hundred against Australia in the 2019 World Cup.

    "Mardo walli feeling aayi (it was a big daddy innings)," Dhawan said.

    Dhawan had slammed 117 off 109 balls against the defending champions at The Oval on June 10 as India won by 36 runs. That turned out to be the final tie he played as he was ruled out with a thumb fracture for the remainder of he competition.

    India crashed out in the semi-finals, losing to New Zealand.
