    Abstract Attention has been long focused on enhancing permanganate (Mn(VII)) oxidation capacity for eliminating organic contaminants via generating active manganese intermediates (AMnIs). Nevertheless, limited consideration has been given to the unnecessary consumption of Mn(VII) due to the spontaneous disproportionation of AMnIs during their formation. In this work, we innovatively introduced green polyaspartic acid (PASP) as both reducing and chelating agents to activate Mn(VII) to enhance the oxidation capacity and utilization efficiency of Mn(VII). Multiple lines of evidence suggest that Mn(III), existing as Mn(III)-PASP complex, was generated and dominated the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) in the Mn(VII)/PASP system. The stabilized Mn(III) species enabled Mn(VII) utilization efficiency in the Mn(VII)/PASP system to be higher than that in Mn(VII) alone. Moreover, the electrophilic Mn(III) species was verified to mainly attack the inclusive benzene ring and isopropyl group to realize BPA oxidation and its toxicity reduction in the Mn(VII)/PASP system. In addition, the Mn(VII)/PASP system showed the potential for selectively oxidizing organic contaminants bearing phenol and aniline moieties in real waters without interference from most of coexisting water matrices. This work brightens an overlooked route to both high oxidation capacity and efficient Mn(VII) utilization in the Mn(VII)-based oxidation processes.

    Abstract Mn(II) exhibits a superb ability in activating periodate (PI) for the efficient degradation of aqueous organic contaminants. Nevertheless, ambiguous conclusions regarding the involved reactive species contributing to the removal of organic contaminants remain unresolved. In this work, we found that the Mn(II)/PI process showed outstanding and selective reactivity for oxidizing sulfonamides with the removal ranging from 57.1% to 100% at pH 6.5. Many lines of evidence suggest that the in-situ formed colloidal MnO

    Abstract Gene duplication provides raw material for the evolution of genetic and phenotypic complexity. It has remained a long-standing mystery how duplicated genes evolve into new genes by neofunctionalization via the acquisition of new expression and/or activity and simultaneous loss of the old expression and activity. Fishes have many gene duplicates from whole genome duplication, making them excellent for studying the evolution of gene duplicates. In the fish medaka (Oryzias latipes), an ancestral pax6 gene has given rise to Olpax6.1 and Olpax6.2. Here we report that medaka Olpax6.2 is evolving towards neofunctionalization. A chromosomal syntenic analysis indicated that Olpax6.1 and Olpax6.2 are structurally co-homologous to the single pax6 in other organisms. Interestingly, Olpax6.2 maintains all conserved coding exons but loses the non-coding exons of Olpax6.1, and has 4 promoters versus 8 in Olpax6.1. RT-PCR revealed that Olpax6.2 maintains expression in the brain eye, pancreas as Olpax6.1. Surprisingly, Olpax6.2 also exhibits maternal inheritance and gonadal expression by RT-PCR, in situ hybridization and RNA transcriptome analysis. The expression and distribution of Olpax6.2 is not different from Olpax6.1 in the adult brain, eye and pancreas, but exhibited overlapping and distinct expression in early embryogenesis. We show that ovarian Olpax6.2 expression occurs in female germ cells. Olpax6.2 knockout shows no obvious defect in eye development, while Olpax6.1 F0 mutant have severe defects in eye development. Thus, Olpax6.2 acquires maternal inheritance and germ cell expression, but functionally degenerates in the eye, making this gene as an excellent model to study the neofunctionalization of duplicated genes.

    Abstract Light-stabilizing additives may contribute to the overall pollution load of microplastics (MPs) and potentially enter the food chain, severely threatening aquatic life and human health. This study investigated the variation between polystyrene (PS) MPs and phthalocyanine blue (CuPC)-containing MPs before and after photoaging, as well as their effects on Microcystis aeruginosa. The presence of PS-MPs increased cell mortality, antioxidant enzyme activity, and the variation in extracellular components, while the presence of CuPC exacerbated these variations. CuPC-containing MPs caused different increasing trends in superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde activities due to electron transfer across the membrane. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the MPs and CuPC affected various cellular processes, with the greatest impact being on cell membranes. Compared with MPs, CuPC negatively affected ribosome and polysaccharide formation. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular response to MPs and their associated light-stabilizer pollution and imply the necessity for mitigating the pollution of both MPs and light-stabilizers.

    Abstract Despite decades of research on phenols oxidation by permanganate, there are still considerable uncertainties regarding the mechanisms accounting for the unexpected parabolic pH-dependent oxidation rate. Herein, the pH effect on phenols oxidation was reinvestigated experimentally and theoretically by highlighting the previously unappreciated proton transfer. The results revealed that the oxidation of protonated phenols occurred via proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) pathways, which can switch from ETPT (electron transfer followed by proton transfer) to CEPT (concerted electron-proton transfer) or PTET (proton transfer followed by electron transfer) with an increase in pH. A PCET-based model was thus established, and it could fit the kinetic data of phenols oxidation by permanganate well. In contrast with what was previously thought, both the simulating results and the density functional theory calculation indicated the rate of CEPT reaction of protonated phenols with OH

    Abstract A large number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are expressed in animal gonads, but their functions are poorly understood. In this study, a gonad-specific lncRNA, termed lnc4, was identified and characterized in the model fish medaka (Oryzias latipes). The expression pattern and in vitro functional analyses indicated that lnc4 was likely to be a primary transcript of miR-202 (pri-miR-202). Results of single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization demonstrated that the precursor miR-202 (pre-miR-202) was highly expressed in the nuclei of testicular somatic cells, including Leydig and Sertoli cells, whereas only a small amount of lnc4 molecules could be detected co-expressed with pre-miR-202 in Sertoli cells due to its low expression level. Deletion of the lnc4 locus led to a significant reduction in testis size and a dramatic decrease in the number of male germ cells, as well as a reduction in sperm viability. Moreover, lnc4 knockout resulted in enhanced synthesis and secretion of testicular somatic cells and accelerated differentiation of immature male germ cells. Taken together, functional studies of lnc4 and its mature transcript miR-202 will contribute to the understanding of the important role of non-coding RNAs in animal or human reproductive disorders.

    Abstract Although periodate-based advanced oxidation processes have been proven to be efficient in abating organic contaminants, the activation properties of different periodate species remain largely unclear. Herein, by highlighting the role of H₄IO₆–, we reinvestigated the pH effect on the decontamination performance of the H₂O₂/periodate process. Results revealed that elevating pH from 2.0 to 10.0 could markedly accelerate the rates of organic contaminant decay but decrease the amounts of organic contaminant removal. This pH-dependent trend of organic contaminant degradation corresponded well with the HO· yield and the variation of periodate species. Specifically, although ¹O₂ could be detected at pH 9.0, HO· was determined to be the major reactive oxidizing species in the H₂O₂/periodate process under all the tested pH levels. Furthermore, it was suggested that only H₄IO₆– and H₂I₂O₁₀⁴– could serve as the precursors of HO·. The second-order rate constant for the reaction of H₂I₂O₁₀⁴– species with H₂O₂ was determined to be ∼1199.5 M–¹ s–¹ at pH 9.0, which was two orders of magnitude greater than that of H₄IO₆– (∼2.2 M–¹ s–¹ at pH 3.0). Taken together, the reaction pathways of H₂O₂ with different periodate species were proposed. These fundamental findings could improve our understanding of the periodate-based advanced oxidation processes.
