Streptavidin-Aequorin Fusion Protein for Bioluminescent Immunoassay [PDF]

open access: yesBioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2011
The fusion protein of streptavidin to aequorin (STA-AQ) was highly purified from inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli cells and applied to a bioluminescent sandwich immunoassay. α-Fetoprotein (AFP), which is a serological marker of liver cancer, was used as a model analyte to test STA-AQ in an immunoassay.

Phosphate Deprivation Can Impair Mechano-Stimulated Cytosolic Free Calcium Elevation in Arabidopsis Roots

open access: yesPlants, 2020
The root tip responds to mechanical stimulation with a transient increase in cytosolic free calcium as a possible second messenger. Although the root tip will grow through a heterogeneous soil nutrient supply, little is known of the consequence of ...

Abiotic Stress‐Induced Chloroplast and Cytosolic Ca2+ Dynamics in the Green Alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 3939-3954, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+)‐dependent signalling plays a well‐characterised role in the perception and response mechanisms to environmental stimuli in plant cells. In the context of a constantly changing environment, it is fundamental to understand how crop yield and microalgal biomass productivity are affected by external factors. Ca2+ signalling is known

Expression and Characterization of i-Photina as an Efficient Photoprotein

open access: yesIranian South Medical Journal, 2015
Background: Nowadays photoproteins are excellent reporter systems as they have virtually no background. The most commonly studied photoprotein is aequorin. But because of it’s low quantum yield and very fast reaction kinetic this photoprotein assay

Different Stress-Induced Calcium Signatures Are Reported by Aequorin-Mediated Calcium Measurements in Living Cells of Aspergillus fumigatus.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Aspergillus fumigatus is an inhaled fungal pathogen of human lungs, the developmental growth of which is reliant upon Ca2+-mediated signalling. Ca2+ signalling has regulatory significance in all eukaryotic cells but how A.

Ergosterol‐induced immune response in barley involves phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol phosphate metabolic enzymes and activation of diterpene biosynthesis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 3, Page 1236-1255, May 2025.
Summary Lipids play crucial roles in plant–microbe interactions, functioning as structural components, signaling molecules, and microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). However, the mechanisms underlying lipid perception and signaling in plants remain largely unknown. Here, we investigate the immune responses activated in barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Titration of Recombinant Aequorin with Calcium Chloride

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1996
The photoprotein aequorin emits light in the presence of a trace of Ca2+. The primary structure of the protein indicates the presence of three Ca2+-binding sites, whereas the luminometric titration of heterogeneous natural aequorin with Ca2+ has shown that the light emission takes place by the binding of two Ca2+ ions.

Back to GroEL-Assisted Protein Folding: GroES Binding-Induced Displacement of Denatured Proteins from GroEL to Bulk Solution

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
The main events in chaperone-assisted protein folding are the binding and ligand-induced release of substrate proteins. Here, we studied the location of denatured proteins previously bound to the GroEL chaperonin resulting from the action of the GroES co-

Extracellular ATP: an emerging multifaceted regulator of plant fitness

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1771-1782, May 2025.
Summary Adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of living organisms and the primary form of organic phosphate (Po) involved in cellular metabolism. In plants, some ATP is released into the extracellular matrix (ECM) in response to various stimuli, where it functions as extracellular ATP (eATP), a key signalling molecule.
