Journal ArticleDOI
Pleiotropic Effects of c-di-GMP Content in Pseudomonas syringae.
Tingting Wang,Zhao Cai,Xiaolong Shao,Weitong Zhang,Yingpeng Xie,Yingchao Zhang,Canfeng Hua,Stephan C. Schuster,Liang Yang,Liang Yang,Xin Deng +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that c-di-GMP regulates the virulence and stress response in P. syringae, which suggests that tuning its level could be a new strategy to protect plants from attacks by this pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA G-Quadruplex Structures Mediate Gene Regulation in Bacteria.
Xiaolong Shao,Weitong Zhang,Mubarak I. Umar,Hei Yuen Wong,Zijing Seng,Yingpeng Xie,Yingchao Zhang,Liang Yang,Chun Kit Kwok,Xin Deng +9 more
TL;DR: This study uncovers important regulatory functions of rG4s in bacterial pathogenicity and metabolic pathways and strongly suggests that rG 4s exist and can be detected in a wide range of bacterial species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudomonas savastanoi Two-Component System RhpRS Switches between Virulence and Metabolism by Tuning Phosphorylation State and Sensing Nutritional Conditions
Yingpeng Xie,Xiaolong Shao,Yingchao Zhang,Jingui Liu,Tingting Wang,Weitong Zhang,Canfeng Hua,Xin Deng +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that RhpRS uses phosphorylation- and nutrition-dependent mechanisms to switch between regulating virulence and metabolism, and this functionality is widely conserved among bacterial species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Machine Learning Protocols in Early Cancer Detection Based on Liquid Biopsy: A Survey.
Linjing Liu,Xingjian Chen,Olutomilayo Olayemi Petinrin,Weitong Zhang,Saifur Rahaman,Zhi-Ri Tang,Ka-Chun Wong +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of machine learning methods for cancer detection and diagnosis is presented. But, the authors focus on the use of liquid biopsy data to explore the essence of tumor origin together.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudomonas syringae dual-function protein Lon switches between virulence and metabolism by acting as both DNA-binding transcriptional regulator and protease in different environments.
Canfeng Hua,Tingting Wang,Xiaolong Shao,Yingpeng Xie,Hao Huang,Jingui Liu,Weitong Zhang,Yingchao Zhang,Yiqing Ding,Lin Jiang,Xin Wang,Xin Deng +11 more
TL;DR: Data demonstrate that the dual-function protein Lon sophisticatedly regulates virulence and metabolism in P. syringae.
