Biomolecular investigations into BBI reveal an enzymatic mechanism for PUFA isomerisation in bifidobacterium CFA bioconversion strains.

Multiple species of Bifidobacterium exhibit the ability to bioconvert conjugated fatty acids (CFAs), which is considered an important pathway for these strains to promote host health. However, there has been limited progress in understanding the enzymatic mechanism of CFA bioconversion by bifidobacteria, despite the increasing number of studies identifying CFA-producing strains. The protein responsible for polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) isomerization in B. breve CCFM683 has recently been discovered and named BBI, providing a starting point for exploring Bifidobacterium isomerases (BIs). This study presents the sequence classification of membrane-bound isomerases from four common Bifidobacterium species that produce CFA. Heterologous expression, purification, and enzymatic studies of the typical sequences revealed that all possess a single c9, t11 isomer as the product and share common features in terms of enzymatic properties and catalytic kinetics. Using molecular docking and alanine scanning, Lys84, Tyr198, Asn202, and Leu245 located in the binding pocket were identified as critical to the catalytic activity, a finding further confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis-based screening assays. Overall, these findings provide insightful knowledge concerning the molecular mechanisms of BIs. This will open up additional opportunities for the use of bifidobacteria and CFAs in probiotic foods and precision nutrition.

Characterization of Three Types of Elongases from Different Fungi and Site-Directed Mutagenesis.

Fatty acid elongases play crucial roles in synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Identifying more efficient elongases is essential for enhancing oleaginous microorganisms to produce high yields of target products. We characterized three elongases that were identified with distinct specificities: McELO from Mucor circinelloides, PrELO from Phytophthora ramorum, and PsELO from Phytophthora sojae. Heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed that McELO preferentially elongates C16 to C18 fatty acids, PrELO targets Δ6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and PsELO uses long chain saturated fatty acids as substrates. McELO and PrELO exhibited more homology, potentially enabling fatty acid composition remodeling and enhanced LC-PUFAs production in oleaginous microorganisms. Site-directed mutagenesis of conserved amino acids across elongase types identified residues essential for activity, supported by molecular docking. Alanine substitution of conserved polar residues led to enzyme inactivation, underscoring their importance in the condensation reaction. Our findings offer promising elongase candidates for polyunsaturated fatty acid production, contributing to the bioindustry's sustainable development.

Harnessing the endogenous Type I-C CRISPR-Cas system for genome editing in Bifidobacterium breve.

Bifidobacterium breve, one of the main bifidobacterial species colonizing the human gastrointestinal tract in early life, has received extensive attention for its purported beneficial effects on human health. However, exploration of the mode of action of such beneficial effects exerted by B. breve is cumbersome due to the lack of effective genetic tools, which limits its synthetic biology application. The widespread presence of CRISPR-Cas systems in the B. breve genome makes endogenous CRISPR-based gene editing toolkits a promising tool. This study revealed that Type I-C CRISPR-Cas systems in B. breve can be divided into two groups based on the amino acid sequences encoded by cas gene clusters. Deletion of the gene coding uracil phosphoribosyl-transferase (upp) was achieved in five B. breve strains from both groups using this system. In addition, translational termination of uracil phosphoribosyl-transferase was successfully achieved in B. breve FJSWX38M7 by single-base substitution of the upp gene and insertion of three stop codons. The gene encoding linoleic acid isomerase (bbi) in B. breve, being a characteristic trait, was deleted after plasmid curing, which rendered it unable to convert linoleic acid into conjugated linoleic acid, demonstrating the feasibility of successive editing. This study expands the toolkit for gene manipulation in B. breve and provides a new approach toward functional genome editing and analysis of B. breve strains.IMPORTANCEThe lack of effective genetic tools for Bifidobacterium breve is an obstacle to studying the molecular mechanisms of its health-promoting effects, hindering the development of next-generation probiotics. Here, we introduce a gene editing method based on the endogenous CRISPR-Cas system, which can achieve gene deletion, single-base substitution, gene insertion, and successive gene editing in B. breve. This study will facilitate discovery of functional genes and elucidation of molecular mechanisms of B. breve pertaining to health-associated benefits.

Functions and substrate selectivity of diacylglycerol acyltransferases from Mortierella alpina.

Mortierella alpina produces various polyunsaturated fatty acids in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG). Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the binding of acyl-CoA to diacylglycerol to form TAG and is the key enzyme involved in TAG synthesis. A variety of DGATs are present in M. alpina; however, comparative analysis of the functional properties and substrate selectivity of these DGATs is insufficient. In this study, DGAT1 (MaDGAT1A/1B/1C) and DGAT2 (MaDGAT2A/2B) isoforms from M. alpina were analyzed and heterologously expressed in S. cerevisiae H1246. The results showed that MaDGAT1A/1B/2A/2B were able to restore TAG synthesis, and the corresponding TAG content in recombinant yeasts was 2.92 ± 0.42%, 3.62 ± 0.22%, 0.86 ± 0.34%, and 0.18 ± 0.09%, respectively. In S. cerevisiae H1246, MaDGAT1A preferred C16:1 among monounsaturated fatty acids, MaDGAT1B preferred C16:0 among saturated fatty acids (SFAs), and MaDGAT2A/2B preferred C18:0 among SFAs. Under exogenous addition of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), MaDGAT1A and 2A preferentially assembled linoleic acid into TAG, and MaDGAT2B had substrate selectivity for eicosapentaenoic and linoleic acids in ω-6 PUFAs. In vitro, MaDGAT1A showed no obvious acyl-CoA selectivity and MaDGAT1B preferred C20:5-CoA. MaDGAT1A/1B preferred C18:1/C18:1-DAG compared with C20:4/C20:4-DAG. This study indicates that MaDGATs have the potential to be used in the production of LA/EPA-rich TAG and provide a reference for improving the production of TAGs in oleaginous fungi. KEY POINTS: • MaDGAT1A preferred C16:1 among MUFAs, MaDGAT1B and MaDGAT2A/2B preferred C16:0 and C18:0 among SFAs, respectively • MaDGAT1A/2A preferentially assembled linoleic acid into TAG, and MaDGAT2B has substrate selectivity for eicosapentaenoic acid and linoleic acid in ω-6 PUFAs • MaDGAT1A showed no obvious acyl-CoA selectivity, and MaDGAT1B preferred C20:5-CoA. MaDGAT1A/1B preferred to select C18:1/C18:1-DAG compared with C20:4/C20:4-DAG.

Redistributing Carbon Flux by Impairing Saccharide Synthesis to Enhance Lipid Yield in Oleaginous Fungus Mortierella alpina.

Increasing carbon flux toward target metabolites is important in improving microbial productivity and economic value. To improve the efficiency of lipid production in Mortierella alpina, we knocked down genes for trehalose-6-phosphate synthetase (Matps) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Mapepck) in the major pathways for saccharide synthesis. The knockdown of Matps reduced trehalose content by an average of 31.87%, while the knockdown of Mapepck reduced the total saccharide content by 28.6%, and both recombinant strains showed more than 20% increased lipid yield. Trehalose plays a vital role in stress resistance, but a higher polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich lipid content was found to partly compensate for the loss of trehalose after Matps knockdown. As compared with Matps knockdown, the knockdown of Mapepck gave better lipid production by bringing forward the time to maximum lipid yield by three days in a scale-up test. The arachidonic acid yield after the Mapepck knockdown reached 1.23 g/L, which was 39.9% higher than that of the original strain. The present research provided an efficient strategy for redistributing carbon flux among different metabolites and therefore promoted microbial lipid yield in a shorter fermentation period.

Applications of Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase for Triacylglycerol Production in Mortierella alpina.

Triacylglycerol (TG) with high-value long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids is beneficial to human health; consequently, there is an urgent need to broaden its sources due to the current growing demand. Mortierella alpina, one of the most representative oleaginous fungi, is the only certificated source of dietary arachidonic acid-rich oil supplied in infant formula. This study was conducted to improve TG production in M. alpina by homologous overexpression of diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) and linseed oil (LSO) supplementation. Our results showed that the homologous overexpression of MaDGAT1B and MaDGAT2A strengthened TG biosynthesis and significantly increased the TG content compared to the wild-type by 12.24% and 14.63%, respectively. The supplementation with an LSO concentration of 0.5 g/L elevated the TG content to 83.74% and total lipid yield to 4.26 ± 0.38 g/L in the M. alpina-MaDGAT2A overexpression strain. Our findings provide an effective strategy for enhancing TG production and highlight the role of DGAT in TG biosynthesis in M. alpina.

Metformin inhibits the pathogenic functions of AChR-specific B and Th17 cells by targeting miR-146a.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by fatigable skeletal muscle weakness with a fluctuating and unpredictable disease course and is caused by circulating autoantibodies and pathological T helper cells. Regulation of B-cell function and the T-cell network may be a potential therapeutic strategy for MG. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as potential biomarkers in immune disorders due to their critical roles in various immune cells and multiple inflammatory diseases. Aberrant miR-146a signal activation has been reported in autoimmune diseases, but a detailed exploration of the relationship between miR-146a and MG is still necessary. Using an experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) rat model, we observed that miR-146a was highly expressed in the spleen but expressed at low levels in the thymus and lymph nodes in EAMG rats. Additionally, miR-146a expression in T and B cells was also quite different. EAMG-specific Th17 and Treg cells had lower miR-146a levels, while EAMG-specific B cells had higher miR-146a levels, indicating that targeted intervention against miR-146a might have diametrically opposite effects. Metformin, a drug that was recently demonstrated to alleviate EAMG, may rescue the functions of both Th17 cells and B cells by reversing the expression of miR-146a. We also investigated the downstream target genes of miR-146a in both T and B cells using bioinformatics screening and qPCR. Taken together, our study identifies a complex role of miR-146a in the EAMG rat model, suggesting that more caution should be paid in targeting miR-146a for the treatment of MG.

Evaluation of the quality of guidelines for nutrition in critically ill adults: A cross-sectional study.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to provide reference for improving the quality of future guidelines by evaluating present guidelines for nutrition in critically ill adults using Report Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT) and Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II). METHODS: Electronic databases and guideline websites published from 2000 to 2020 were searched. We examined the included guidelines according to RIGHT and AGREE II. RESULTS: Ten guidelines were involved in the study. Among seven domains of RIGHT, background received the highest report rate, whereas review and quality assurance received the lowest. Items 1a, 1c, 6, 7a, 7b were reported by all included guidelines, and items 3, 8b, 14a, 16, 18b, 21 were barely reported. As for AGREE II, scores of six domains were 69% (scope and purpose), 34% (stakeholder involvement), 47% (rigor of development), 71% (clarity of presentation), 20% (applicability), and 52% (editorial independence), respectively. CONCLUSION: Report and methodological quality of guidelines for nutrition in critically ill adults were relatively high. The evaluation results of RIGHT and AGREE II are consistent, with higher scores in the field of background and lower scores in the part on quality control and applicability. To facilitate application of guidelines, RIGHT and AGREE II should be used as criteria by guideline developers.

Effect of Qingyangshen glycosides on social defeat mice model.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Qingyangshen (Cynanchum otophyllum C.K.Schneid.PI.Wilson.) is the folk medicine of Yunnan which is renowned for its use in the management of neuropsychiatric diseases. The isolated glycosides from Qingyangshen have demonstrated relief in the social defeat stress, however, mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study is aimed to elucidate the effect of Qingyangshen glycosides (QYS) on chronic social defeat stress (CSDS)-induced depression-like symptoms and the related mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In mice, CSDS model was developed, and the effect of QYS was evaluated by observing the behavioral performance of these mice exposed to tasks related to depression-like activities. Moreover, microscopic pathological examinutesation was also done. Furthermore, the protein expressions related to social defeat stress were also determined to elucidate the possible underlying mechanism. RESULTS: Our results indicated that QYS treatment reversed the CSDS-induced depressive-like behaviors as measured by the increased sucrose preference, open field activity, and social interactions among mice. The reversal of the morphological changes in the hippocampus of the CSDS mice was also noted. Additionally, QYS treatment also upregulated the silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), fibronectin III domain containing protein 5 (FNDC5), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) proteins. CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicated that QYS had a good anti-social defeat stress effect on CSDS-induced depression in mice, mainly through SIRT1/PGC-1α/FNDC5/BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway activation.

Effect of Xiongmatang Extract on Behavioral and TRPV1-CGRP/CGRP-R Pathway in Rats With Migraine.

Migraine is a complex neurovascular disease, which seriously affects the quality of life in patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Xiongmatang (XMT) extract on rats with migraine induced by inflammatory soup and the underlying mechanisms. First, 1 week after dural catheterization, inflammatory soup was injected through a microsyringe to stimulate the dura of rats for 6 times (12 days), once every 2 days, 10 µL each time, to establish a migraine model. According to pain threshold analysis, behavioral change detection, and pathological analysis, the effects of XMT extract on rats with migraine were evaluated. The positive, mRNA and protein expression of related factors were detected by immunohistochemistry, RT-QPCR, and Western blot analysis to elucidate the underlying mechanism. XMT extract improved the behavioral performance of rats, and improve the pathological changes in the trigeminal nerve in rats. Further experimental results show that XMT extract regulated the expression of migraine-related factors in the trigeminal nerve, manifested as transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP), calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR), and receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) positive expression, mRNA expression, and protein expression reduction. XMT extract can significantly improved the behavioral performance of rats with migraine, and its mechanism of action might involve regulating the activity of TRPV1-CGRP/CGRP-R pathway.

Lipid metabolism research in oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina: Current progress and future prospects.

The oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina has distinct advantages in long-chain PUFAs production, and it is the only source for dietary arachidonic acid (ARA) certificated by FDA and European Commission. This review provides an overall introduction to M. alpina, including its major research methods, key factors governing lipid biosynthesis, metabolic engineering and omics studies. Currently, the research interests in M. alpina focus on improving lipid yield and fatty acid desaturation degree by enhancing fatty acid precursors and the reducing power NADPH, and genetic manipulation on PUFAs synthetic pathways is carried to optimise fatty acid composition. Besides, multi-omics studies have been applied to elucidate the global regulatory mechanism of lipogenesis in M. alpina. However, research challenges towards achieving a lipid cell factory lie in strain breeding and cost control due to the coenocytic mycelium, long fermentation period and insufficient conversion rate from carbon to lipid. We also proposed future research goals based on a multilevel regulating strategy: obtaining ideal chassis by directional evolution and high-throughput screening; rewiring central carbon metabolism and inhibiting competitive pathways by multi-gene manipulation system to enhance carbon to lipid conversion rate; optimisation of protein function based on post-translational modification; application of dynamic fermentation strategies suitable for different fermentation phases. By reviewing the comprehensive research progress of this oleaginous fungus, we aim to further comprehend the fungal lipid metabolism and provide reference information and guidelines for the exploration of microbial oils from the perspectives of fundamental research to industrial application.

SNF1ß-Modulated Glucose Uptake and the Balance between Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Carbohydrates in Mortierella alpina.

A sucrose nonfermenting protein kinase 1 (SNF1) complex is an important metabolic regulator in fungi that is critical to cell metabolism and stress response. In this study, the role of an SNF1 ß-subunit in the oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina (MaSip2) was investigated. The MaSip2 contained a glycogen-binding domain and a conserved SNF1-complex interaction region; its transcriptional level during lipogenesis shared high consistency with a previously reported SNF1 γ-subunit (MaSnf4). Overexpression of MaSip2 in M. alpina significantly promoted glucose uptake and resulted in 34.1% increased total biomass, leading to 44.8% increased arachidonic acid yield after 7 day fermentation. MaSip2 also regulated the balance between polyunsaturated fatty acids and carbohydrates in M. alpina. Intracellular metabolite analysis revealed increased carbohydrate-related metabolite accumulation in MaSip2 overexpression strains. On the contrary, knockdown of MaSip2 increased the total fatty acid unsaturation degree, especially under low-temperature conditions. This research improved our knowledge of SNF1 complex in M. alpina and provided a target gene for enhancing glucose utilization and modulating fatty acid composition for better application of oleaginous fungi.

Advances in improving the biotechnological application of oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina.

Mortierella alpina is an oleaginous filamentous fungus with considerable lipid productivity, and it has been widely used for industrial production of arachidonic acid. The fermentation process of M. alpina is complicated and can be affected by various factors; therefore, a comprehensive knowledge of its metabolic characteristics and key factors governing lipid biosynthesis is required to further improve its industrial performance. In this review, we discuss the metabolic features and extracellular factors that affect lipid biosynthesis in M. alpina. The current progress in fermentation optimisation and metabolic engineering to improve lipid yield are also summarised. Moreover, we review the applications of M. alpina in the food industry and propose fermentation strategies for better utilisation of this genus in the future. In our opinion, the economic performance of M. alpina should be enhanced from multiple levels, including strains with ideal traits, efficient fermentation strategies, controllable fermentation costs, and competitive products of both high value and productivity. By reviewing the peculiarities of M. alpina and current progress to improve its suitability for biotechnological production, we wish to provide more efficient strategies for future development of M. alpina as a high-value lipid cell factory. KEY POINTS: • Understanding M. alpina metabolism is helpful for rational design of its fermentation processes. • Nitrogen source is a key point that affects PUFA's component and fermentation cost in M. alpina. • Dynamic fermentation strategy combined with breeding is needed to increase lipid yield in M. alpina.

Combined treatments of chitosan and sodium silicate to inhibit Alternaria alternata pathogens of postharvest winter jujube.

Alternaria alternata is a pathogenic fungus that infects jujube fruit and leads to serious economic losses. In this paper, the antifungal activity of chitosan combined with sodium silicate against A. alternata in vitro and in vivo was investigated, and the possible antimicrobial mechanisms were explored. Results showed that the spore germination and colony expansion of A. alternata were significantly inhibited by chitosan. Chitosan treatment induced the leakages of intercellular electrolytes, nucleic acids, and soluble protein of A. alternata. Meanwhile, chitosan damaged the cell morphology and membrane integrity of A. alternata. The combination of chitosan and sodium silicate was more effective than chitosan alone. In addition, the effect of chitosan and sodium silicate could significantly decrease natural rot rate and delay lesion expansion of winter jujube. Collectively, chitosan combined with sodium silicate had the potential to control postharvest diseases of fruit caused by A. alternata.

Role of beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase in lipid biosynthesis of the oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina.

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) play an important role in lipid metabolism by serving as signal molecules as well as a potential acetyl-CoA source. Our previous study found that in the oleaginous fungus Mucor circinelloides, beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH), an important enzyme participating in the key BCAA leucine biosynthesis, was differentially expressed during lipid accumulation phase and has a positive role on lipogenesis. To further analyze its effects on lipogenesis in another oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina, the IPMDH-encoding gene MaLeuB was homologously expressed. It was found that the total fatty acid content in the recombinant strain was increased by 20.2% compared with the control strain, which correlated with a 4-fold increase in the MaLeuB transcriptional level. Intracellular metabolites analysis revealed significant changes in amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle and butanoate metabolism; specifically, leucine and isoleucine levels were upregulated by 6.4-fold and 2.2-fold, respectively. Our genetic engineering approach and metabolomics study demonstrated that MaLeuB is involved in fatty acid metabolism in M. alpina by affecting BCAAs metabolism, and this newly discovered role of IPMDH provides a potential bypass route to increase lipogenesis in oleaginous fungi.

Inference of Subpathway Activity Profiles Reveals Metabolism Abnormal Subpathway Regions in Glioblastoma Multiforme.

Glioblastoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is the most malignant form of glioma and represents 81% of malignant brain and central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Like most cancers, GBM causes metabolic recombination to promote cell survival, proliferation, and invasion of cancer cells. In this study, we propose a method for constructing the metabolic subpathway activity score matrix to accurately identify abnormal targets of GBM metabolism. By integrating gene expression data from different sequencing methods, our method identified 25 metabolic subpathways that were significantly abnormal in the GBM patient population, and most of these subpathways have been reported to have an effect on GBM. Through the analysis of 25 GBM-related metabolic subpathways, we found that (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene, which was at the central region of the sterol biosynthesis subpathway, may have a greater impact on the entire pathway, suggesting a potential high association with GBM. Analysis of CCK8 cell activity indicated that (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene can indeed inhibit the activity of U87-MG cells. By flow cytometry, we demonstrated that (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene not only arrested the U87-MG cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase but also induced cell apoptosis. These results confirm the reliability of our proposed metabolic subpathway identification method and suggest that (S)-2,3-Epoxysqualene has potential therapeutic value for GBM. In order to make the method more broadly applicable, we have developed an R system package crmSubpathway to perform disease-related metabolic subpathway identification and it is freely available on the GitHub (https://github.com/hanjunwei-lab/crmSubpathway).

Improved Lipogenesis in Mortierella alpina by Abolishing the Snf4-Mediated Energy-Saving Mode under Low Glucose.

Sensing nutrient levels and coordinating metabolism are requisites for all living organisms. In eukaryotes, heterotrimeric adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase/sucrose nonfermenting 1 (SNF1) is an energy monitor that primarily functions by regulating cell metabolism with its γ-subunit being responsible for energy sensing. Because of its strong lipogenesis capacity and dependence on nutrient availability, Mortierella alpina is an ideal model to investigate the SNF1 role. Knockdown of the M. alpina SNF1-γ-subunit (MaSnf4) abolished the energy preservation mode. In a low glucose medium (15 g/L), the fatty acid content in the MaSnf4-knockdown strain was similar to that in a high glucose medium (50 g/L), comprising 16 ± 1.17% of the dry cell weight after 96 h of culture (1.59 g/L), together with 1.41 ± 0.13 and 4.15 ± 0.19 fold increased acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 and ATP-citrate lyase enzymatic activities, respectively. Metabolite analysis confirmed that knocking down MaSnf4 enhanced amino acid recycling and repressed the tricarboxylic acid cycle. In this case, more carbon skeleton acetyl-CoA and reductive nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate were rerouted into the fatty acid synthesis pathway. These findings provide new insight into the correlation between energy preservation and MaSnf4-regulated lipogenesis, which may enhance further development of cost-effective strategies to enhance lipid productivity in M. alpina.

Electric-Controlled Valley Pseudomagnetoresistance in Graphene with Y-Shaped Kekulé Lattice Distortion.

We propose a new method for regulating valley pseudomagnetoresistance in ballistic graphene-based valley field-effect transistors by taking into account the Y-shaped Kekulé lattice distortion and electric barrier. The device involves valley injection and valley detection by ferromagnetic-strain source and drain. The valley manipulation in the channel is achieved via the Y-shaped Kekulé lattice distortion and electric barrier. The central mechanism of these devices lies on Y-shaped Kekulé lattice distortion in graphene can induce a valley precession, thus controlling the valley orientation of channel electrons and hence the current collected at the drain. We found that the tuning external bias voltage makes the valley pseudomagnetoresistance oscillate between positive and negative values and colossal tunneling valley pseudomagnetoresistance of over 30,000% can be achieved. Our results suggest that the synergy of valleytronics and digital logics may provide new paradigms for valleytronic-based information processing and reversible computing.
