AbstractThe Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily comprises a group of enzymes involved in the scavenging of toxic aldehyde molecules by converting them into their corresponding non-toxic carboxylic acids. A genome-wide study in potato identified a total of 22 ALDH genes grouped into ten families that are presented unevenly throughout all the 12 chromosomes. Based on the evolutionary analysis of ALDH proteins from different plant species, ALDH2 and ALDH3 were found to be the most abundant families in the plant, while ALDH18 was found to be the most distantly related one. Gene expression analysis revealed that the expression of StALDH genes is highly tissue-specific and divergent in various abiotic, biotic, and hormonal treatments. Structural modelling and functional analysis of selected StALDH members revealed conservancy in their secondary structures and cofactor binding sites. Taken together, our findings provide comprehensive information on the ALDH gene family in potato that will help in developing a framework for further functional studies.

Key Points A genome-wide study of the association of over 5 million SNPs with methotrexate clearance in 1279 patients treated with HDMTX in multicenter COG trials 9904 and 9905. We replicated the finding that inherited variations in SLCO1B1 are the most important genetic variations influencing methotrexate clearance.

Chromatin structure is critical for gene expression and many other cellular processes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the floral repressor FLC adopts a self-loop chromatin structure via bridging of its flanking regions. This local gene loop is necessary for active FLC expression. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the formation of this class of gene loops is unknown. Here, we report the characterization of a group of linker histone-like proteins, named the GH1-HMGA family in Arabidopsis, which act as chromatin architecture modulators. We demonstrate that these family members redundantly promote the floral transition through the repression of FLC. A genome-wide study revealed that this family preferentially binds to the 5′ and 3′ ends of gene bodies. The loss of this binding increases FLC expression by stabilizing the FLC 5′ to 3′ gene looping. Our study provides mechanistic insights into how a family of evolutionarily conserved proteins regulates the formation of local gene loops.
