RING finger proteins belong to a large family of the zinc finger proteins. They become the third-largest protein family in
Arabidopsis
. A total of 488 RING finger protein genes were retrieved in rice genome. The most typical structural characteristic is the RING finger domain they contained. RING finger proteins participate physiological and biochemical processes in plant cells mostly through ubiquitin pathway. This paper introduced the structural characteristics and classification of plant RING finger proteins, summarized the subcellular localization, and reviewed their regulation roles in response to plant abiotic stress such as drought stress, temperature stress, and salt stress.

MIKC-type proteins represent a class of MADS-domain transcription factors in plant and are defined by a unique domain structure. In addition to the highly conserved MADS-domain, they have three other domains(I, K and C). The number and functional diversity of MIKC-type proteins increased considerably during plant evolution, culminating in higher flowering plants. They are known to play key regulatory roles in different stages of flower development. This paper summarized the plant MIKC-type MADS protein classification and structure, interactions with DNA, interactions between proteins and molecular mechanism of the interactions. It also discusses about the prospects of future research works, according to the present research status on MIKC-type proteins.

Bacterial pathogens have been treated effectively with antibiotics for several decades, but with more and more resistant bacteria appeared, the resistance to antibiotics has become a difficulty issue in antibiotics therapies. Phages therapy, the application of the phages that infect bacterial pathogens as antimicrobials, has been expected and advocated as a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics. However, under the selection of the co-evolution between phages and bacteria, bacterial pathogens can became resistance to the phages by several mechanisms. So, at the same expecting and advocating, should we worry about the problem that whether the phage-treated pathogens will develop to resistance to the phages caused to treat difficulty at last? Here, the arguments about the bacterial pathogens resistance to the phages under the phage-bacterium co-evolution and its effect on the phages therapy were summarized and reviewed, and the phage therapy for control the bacterial pathogen was prospected.

An optimal protein extraction method, as much as possible to obtain high-quality extracellular proteins of
Valsa mali
, is helpful to thoroughly analyze the proteomics and pathogenesis of the pathogen. In this study, the three methods freeze drying system/dialysis, DOC-10%TCA precipitation and ammonium sulfate precipitation were used to extract the extracellular proteins of
Valsa mali
, respectively. Then the optimal concentration of ammonium sulfate needed to be screened. The proteins extracted by the three methods were quantified and separated separately through Bradford and SDS-PAGE, and then extracellular proteins extracted from pathogenicity of different isolates were also compared with SDS-PAGE. The results showed that the content and distinguishability of protein sample extracted by 70% ammonium sulfate was optimal, and four protein lanes are significantly different in the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis patterns of different isolates. So this method is the most suitable for extracting extracellular protein sample to analyse the difference of
Valsa mali

Transcriptional activator protein(AhyR)gene of
Aeromonas hydrophila
strain
Zf1
was amplified by PCR using the designed primers, resulting in a 1 063 bp DNA sequence. The sequencing analyses revealed
AhyR
gene encoding a protein of 260 amino acids which has autoinducer binding domain(18-168 aa)and LuxR-type helix-turn-helix(HTH)domain for DNA binding(176-241 aa). Moreover, AhyR protein was predicted containing 13 phosphorylation sites(ie., 15S, 30T, 62S, 144S, 145S, 156S, 161Y, 173S, 184T, 188T, 200S, 227S and 231Y). The homology modeling of 3D structure of AhyR protein was carried out based on the template retrieved from chain A of quorum sensing control repressor(PDB:3SZT_A). AhyR protein showed the homology of 28.40% with the standard model, and the physiological activity subunit LuxR-type HTH domain profile was located in the outer surface of the C-terminal. The quality of the resulting protein structure was further checked by the Ramachandran plot.

The objective of present research is to prepare magnetic dextran nanoparticles conjugated with
Staphylococcal
Protein A(SPA-MDPs)for the purification of IgG. The magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by following a high-temperature solution-phase procedure, and the average particle size can be tuned from 30 to 200 nm by simply varying the concentration of NaOH during the reaction. The size of SPA-MDPs nanoparticles has a great influence on their adsorption capacity for IgG. A maximum adsorption of human IgG was calculated to be 84.85 mg/mL with a binding affinity constant of 3.48×10

when the average size of SPA-MDPs is about 101.5 nm. The experiment results also demonstrated that the SPA-MDPs nanoparticles can be recycled for 5 times with minor loss of adsorption capacity. Moreover, IgG was purified from human plasma with a purity of 93.5% and recovery of 88.7%. Thus, SPA-MDPs show promising potentials for isolation and purification of IgG.
