Antigen Ki-67 is a nuclear protein expressed in proliferating mammalian cells. It widely used cancer histopathology but its functions remain unclear. Here, we show that controls heterochromatin organisation. Altering expression levels did not significantly affect cell proliferation vivo. mutant mice developed normally and cells lacking proliferated efficiently. Conversely, upregulation of differentiated tissues prevent cycle arrest. interactors included proteins involved nucleolar processes...

Nutritional symbiotic interactions require the housing of large numbers microbial symbionts, which produce essential compounds for growth host. In legume-rhizobium nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, thousands rhizobium microsymbionts, called bacteroids, are confined intracellularly within highly specialized host cells. Inverted Repeat-Lacking Clade (IRLC) legumes such as Medicago spp., bacteroids kept under control by an arsenal nodule-specific cysteine-rich (NCR) peptides, induce bacteria in...

Summary Iron (Fe) is a major micronutrient and required for plant growth development. Nongrass species have evolved reduction‐based strategy to solubilize take up Fe. The secretion of Fe‐mobilizing coumarins (e.g. fraxetin, esculetin sideretin) by roots plays an important role in this process. Although the biochemical mechanisms leading their biosynthesis been well described, very little known about cellular subcellular localization or mobility within tissues. Spectral imaging was used...

The hydraulic conductivity of plant roots (Lp(r)) is determined in large part by the activity aquaporins. Mechanisms occurring at post-translational level, particular phosphorylation aquaporins plasma membrane intrinsic protein 2 (PIP2) subfamily, are thought to be critical importance for regulating root water transport. However, knowledge kinases and phosphatases acting on aquaporin function still scarce. In present work, we investigated Lp(r) knockout Arabidopsis plants four...

Abstract In contrast to desiccation-tolerant ‘orthodox’ seeds, so-called ‘intermediate’ seeds cannot survive complete drying and are short-lived. All species of the genus Coffea produce intermediate but they show a considerable variability in seed desiccation tolerance (DT), which may help decipher molecular basis DT plants. We performed comparative transcriptome analysis developing three coffee with contrasting tolerance. Seeds all shared major transcriptional switch during late maturation...

Rennet-induced coagulation of bovine milk is a complex mechanism in which chymosin specifically hydrolyzes κ-casein, the protein responsible for stability casein micelle. In equine milk, this still unclear, and targets are unknown. To reveal proteins involved, rennetability by calf was examined using gel-free gel-based proteomic analysis compared to milk. RP-HPLC milks showed release several peptides following incubation. The hydrolyses were different, major produced from identified mass...
