In seed plants, strigolactones (SLs) regulate architecture and induce mycorrhizal symbiosis in response to environmental cues. SLs are formed by combined activity of the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) 7 8 from 9-cis-β-carotene, leading carlactone that is converted cytochromes P450 (clade 711; MAX1 Arabidopsis) into various SLs. As Physcomitrella patens possesses CCD7 CCD8 homologs but lacks MAX1, we investigated if PpCCD7 together with PpCCD8 form how deletion these enzymes...
ABSTRACT S arco l emmal m embrane- a ssociated p rotein (SLMAP) is tail-anchored protein involved in fundamental cellular processes, such as myoblast fusion, cell cycle progression, and chromosomal inheritance. Further, SLMAP misexpression associated with endothelial dysfunctions diabetes cancer. part of the conserved str iatin- i nteracting hosphatase nd k inase (STRIPAK) complex required for specific signaling pathways yeasts, filamentous fungi, insects, mammals. In STRIPAK was initially...
Abstract Background The phloem of dicotyledonous plants contains specialized P-proteins (phloem proteins) that accumulate during sieve element differentiation and remain parietally associated with the cisternae endoplasmic reticulum in mature elements. Wounding causes P-protein filaments to at plates block translocation photosynthate. Specialized, spindle-shaped known as forisomes undergo reversible calcium-dependent conformational changes have evolved exclusively Fabaceae . Recently,...
The STRIPAK complex is involved in growth, cell fusion, development and signaling pathways, thus malfunctions the human often result severe neuronal diseases cancer. Despite high degree of general conservation throughout complex, several complex-associated small coiled-coil proteins animals yeasts are not conserved across species. As there no data for filamentous ascomycetes, we addressed this through affinity purification with HA-tagged striatin ortholog PRO11 Sordaria macrospora. Combining...
Sieve element occlusion (SEO) genes encoding forisome subunits have been identified in Medicago truncatula and other legumes. Forisomes are structural phloem proteins uniquely found Fabaceae sieve elements. They undergo a reversible conformational change after wounding, from condensed to dispersed state, thereby blocking tube translocation preventing the loss of photoassimilates. Recently, we SEO several non-Fabaceae plants (lacking forisomes) concluded that they most probably encode...
In the fungus Fusarium fujikuroi, carotenoid production is up-regulated by light and down-regulated CarS RING finger protein, which modulates mRNA levels of pathway genes (car genes). To identify new potential regulators car genes, we used a biotin-mediated pull-down procedure to detect proteins capable binding their promoters. We focused our attention on one found in screening, belonging High-Mobility Group (HMG) family that was named HmbC. The deletion hmbC gene resulted increased due...
Fusarium fujikuroi, a model organism for secondary metabolism in fungi, produces carotenoids, terpenoid pigments with antioxidant activity. Previous results indicate that carotenoid synthesis F. fujikuroi is stimulated by light or different stress conditions and downregulated RING finger protein encoded carS gene. Here, we have analyzed the effects of three stressors, nitrogen scarcity, heat shock, oxidative stress. We compared them effect wild type, mutant overproduces its complemented...
Recent data suggest that dandruff might be associated with dysbiosis of the scalp microbiome. This mini review summarizes microbiome changes seen condition, as well different solutions for control and their effects on in relation to vivo efficacy. Since zinc pyrithione has been banned from cosmetics EU, medium-chain fatty acid ester propanediol caprylate is a new option, addition remaining conventional ingredients: piroctone olamine, climbazole, salicylic acid. The rapidly cleaved by...
Malassezia (M.) pachydermatis as a frequent reason for dermatological consultation in dogs and cats was recently shown to be lipid-dependent, too. Lipolytic activity is prerequisite activating antimicrobial effectivity of fatty acid esters.It therefore interest whether it possible induce this mechanism M. identify differences between minimal strong lipid-dependent strains.In an agar dilution test, the inhibitory concentrations six esters were determined seventeen strains.
