Identification and functional analysis of NOL7 nuclear and nucleolar localization signals
BMC Cell Biology, 2010 Background NOL7 is a candidate tumor suppressor that localizes to a chromosomal region 6p23. This locus is frequently lost in a number of malignancies, and consistent loss of NOL7 through loss of heterozygosity and decreased mRNA and protein expression ...

Evolution of plant reproduction: from fusion and dispersal to interaction and communication [PDF]
, 2009 Based on the existing data concerning the evolution of the sexual reproduction, it is argued that the processes of sex differentiation and interactions play a key role in evolution. From the beginning environment and organism are unified.

Modeling Regulation of Zinc Uptake via ZIP Transporters in Yeast and Plant Roots [PDF]
, 2012 In yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and plant roots (Arabidopsis thaliana) zinc enters the cells via influx transporters of the ZIP family. Since zinc is both essential for cell function and toxic at high concentrations, tight regulation is essential for cell viability.

Replication factory activation can be decoupled from the replication timing program by modulating Cdk levels [PDF]
, 2010 In the metazoan replication timing program, clusters of replication origins located in different subchromosomal domains fire at different times during S phase. We have used Xenopus laevis egg extracts to drive an accelerated replication timing program in

Engineering intracellular active transport systems as in vivo biomolecular tools.
, 2006 Active transport systems provide essential functions in terms of cell physiology and metastasis. These systems, however, are also co-opted by invading viruses, enabling directed transport of the virus to and from the cell's nucleus (i.e., the site of ...

The unusual microtubule polarity in teleost retinal pigment epithelial cells. [PDF]
, 1988 In cells of the teleost retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), melanin granules disperse into the RPE cells long apical projections in response to light onset, and aggregate toward the base of the RPE cell in response to dark onset.

Acid-Labile Traceless Click Linker for Protein Transduction [PDF]
, 2012 Intracellular delivery of active proteins presents an interesting approach in research and therapy. We created a protein transduction shuttle based on a new traceless click linker that combines the advantages of click reactions with implementation of ...
