Publication number: 20250197461Abstract: In the present disclosure, a yeast interactive plasmid of a detoxifying enzyme glucosinolate sulfatase (GSS1) is constructed based on a yeast two-hybrid system and then screened with an Arabidopsis thaliana-yeast library, and a plant protein zeaxanthin epoxidase aba1 that interacts with the GSS1 is obtained for the first time. A zeaxanthin epoxidase gene, also known as an aba-1 gene, is an abscisic acid (ABA) synthase that can catalyze oxidative conversion of the zeaxanthin into all-trans violaxanthin, thereby generating carotenoid precursors required in an ABA biosynthetic pathway. Furthermore, a core peptide segment that interacts with the aba1 is obtained by continuously reducing the length of a GSS1 sequence and conducting one-to-one yeast two-hybrid verification with the aba1 sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2024Publication date: June 19, 2025Inventors: Wei CHEN, Yuan LIAO, Yu XIONG, Qian GUO, Mengjie WU, Hongjing ZHONG, Xin REN, Ruijun XU, Xin ZHONG, Zhanjun LU

Patent number: 9977133Abstract: Examples are provided that enable a cellular network location assist to confirm a position determined using a sensor of a mobile device. As a result of global positioning system signals becoming unavailable due to the mobile device traveling indoors, the mobile device implements a sensor-based position determination that provides a position of the mobile device as the mobile device travels about a location. In order to confirm the reliability of the sensor-based position determination, the mobile device, after passage of time or after traveling some estimated distance, requests location assistance indications from the cellular network. A processor of the mobile device receives the location assistance indications and generates a directional vector based on several of the location assistance indications. Using the directional vector, the processor confirms the reliability of the dead reckoning position.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Yuk Lun Li, Xin Ren, Zheng Zhao, Nanjun Qian
