Mutation at the shrunken-2 (Sh2) locus of maize, a gene described more than 40 years ago, greatly reduces starch levels in endosperm through its effect on synthetic enzyme ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, an thought to be regulatory this biosynthetic pathway. Although our previous work has suggested that Sh2 is structural for enzyme, we have also reported data compatible with acting post-transcriptionally. In study, took advantage transposable element-induced allele, progenitor, and revertants...
Glutaredoxins (GRXs) have thus far been associated mainly with redox-regulated processes participating in stress responses. However, ROXY1, encoding a GRX, has recently shown to regulate petal primorida initiation and further morphogenesis Arabidopsis thaliana. ROXY1 belongs land plant-specific class of GRXs that CC-type active site motif, which deviates from ubiquitously occurring CPYC CGFS GRXs. Expression studies yellow fluorescent protein-ROXY1 fusion genes driven by the cauliflower...
The mussel inspired polydopamine has acquired great relevance in the field of nanomedicines, owing to its incredible physicochemical properties. Polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) due their low cytotoxicity, high biocompatibility and ready biodegradation have already been widely investigated various drug delivery, chemotherapeutic, diagnostic applications. In addition, highly reactive nature, it possesses a very capability for loading drugs chemotherapeutics. Therefore, efficiency PDA NPs...
Aquaporins (AQPs) are major intrinsic proteins (MIPs) that mediate bidirectional flux of water and other substrates across cell membranes, play critical roles in plant-water relations, dehydration stress responses crop productivity. However, limited data available as yet on the contributions these to physiology barley (Hordeum vulgare). The present work reports identification expression analysis MIP family. A comprehensive search publicly leaf mRNA-seq data, draft genome GenBank transcripts...
The extent of methylation the c-H-ras and c-K-ras oncogenes was compared in neoplastic preneoplastic livers rats fed one several methyl-deficient, amino acid-defined diets for 18 months, with or without a preceding initiating dose diethylnitrosamine (DEN). restriction endonucleases MspI, HpaII, HhaI, PaeR71 XhoI were used studying pattern DNA methylation. results indicated that both hypomethylated all samples derived from any methyl-deficient used, regardless whether not had received an DEN....
Glutaredoxins (GRXs) are ubiquitous glutathione-dependent oxidoreductase enzymes implicated in redox homeostasis, particularly oxidative stress response. Three major classes of GRX genes exist, the CPYC, CGFS present all pro- and eukaryote species, whereas CC-type class GRXs specific to land plants. In basal plant Physcomitrella patens, only two present, compared with 21 Arabidopsis. contrast, sizes CPYC remained rather similar throughout evolution, raising interesting question as when first...
Achromobacter sp. AO22 (formerly Alcaligenes AO22), a bacterial strain isolated from lead-contaminated industrial site in Australia, was previously found to be resistant moderate high levels of mercury, copper and other heavy metals. However, the nature location genetic basis for mercuric ion resistance this strain, had not been identified. contains functional mer operon with all four essential genes (merRTPA) shows >99% DNA sequence identity that Tn501. The present on transposon, designated...
