Abstract Background Bromo-adjacent homology-plant homeodomain domain containing protein 1 (BP1) is a reader of histone post-translational modifications in fungi. BP1 recognizes trimethylation lysine 27 H3 (H3K27me3), an epigenetic hallmark gene silencing. However, whether and how participates transcriptional repression remains poorly understood. Results We report that forms phase-separated liquid condensates to modulate its biological function Fusarium graminearum . Deletion assays reveal intrinsically disordered region 2 (IDR2) mediates liquid–liquid phase separation. The separation indispensable for interaction with suppressor Zeste 12, component polycomb repressive complex 2. Furthermore, IDR2 deletion abolishes BP1-H3K27me3 binding alleviates the secondary metabolism-related genes, especially deoxynivalenol mycotoxin biosynthesis genes.

Abstract DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the fatal type of damage mostly induced by exposure genome to ionizing radiation or genotoxic chemicals. DSBs mainly repaired homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). To repair DSBs, a large amount factors was observed be concentrated at in specific spatiotemporal manner form center.

The widespread application of ionizing radiation (IR) in medicine, while beneficial, also poses potential risks that necessitate effective countermeasures. Both 2-(3-aminopropylamino) ethanethiol (WR-1065) and curcumin are recognized as radioprotective agents; however, their clinical utility is hindered by notable shortcomings could be addressed through reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive amphiphilic nanomaterials. We introduced a newly synthesized poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer integrated with diselenide bonds (HOOC-SeSe-Cur-PEG-SeSe-Cur-PCL, PEG-Cur-SeSe-PCL). resulting spherical nanoparticles (NPs), which self-assembled from this polymer, were uniform an average diameter 118 nm.
