Cloning and Characterization of Protein Prenyltransferase Alpha Subunit in Rice

Rice Science, 2021
Protein prenylation plays a crucial role in plant development and stress response. We report the function of prenyltransferase α-subunit in rice. Protein-protein interactions showed that the farnesyl- transferase (OsPFT)/geranylgeranyltransferase-I ...

Cloning of a novel inhibin alpha cDNA from rhesus monkey testis

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2004
Background Inhibins are dimeric gonadal protein hormones that negatively regulate pituitary FSH synthesis and secretion. Inhibin B is produced by testicular Sertoli cells and is the primary circulating form of inhibin in most adult male mammals.

Structure-function relations in oxaloacetate decarboxylase complex. Fluorescence and infrared approaches to monitor oxomalonate and Na(+) binding effect. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND:Oxaloacetate decarboxylase (OAD) is a member of the Na(+) transport decarboxylase enzyme family found exclusively in anaerobic bacteria. OAD of Vibrio cholerae catalyses a key step in citrate fermentation, converting the chemical energy of the

Phylogenomic analyses reveal the evolutionary origin of the inhibin alpha-subunit, a unique TGFbeta superfamily antagonist. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) homologues form a diverse superfamily that arose early in animal evolution and control cellular function through membrane-spanning, conserved serine-threonine kinases (RII and RI receptors).

Phycocyanin alpha-subunit phycocyanobilin lyase. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1992
Phycobiliproteins, unlike other light-harvesting proteins involved in photosynthesis, bear covalently attached chromophores. The bilin chromophores are attached through thioether bonds to cysteine residues. The cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 has eight distinct bilin attachment sites on seven polypeptides, all of which carry the same ...

The α1 subunit of the GABA(A) receptor modulates fear learning and plasticity in the lateral amygdala

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2009
Synaptic plasticity in the amydgala is essential for emotional learning. Fear conditioning, for example, depends on changes in excitatory transmission that occur following NMDA receptor activation and AMPA receptor modification in this region. The role
