Blastocystis is the most common eukaryotic microbe in the human gut. It is linked to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but its role in disease has been contested considering its widespread nature. This organism is well-adapted to its anoxic niche and lacks

A Broad Distribution of the Alternative Oxidase in Microsporidian Parasites [PDF]
Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular parasitic eukaryotes that were considered to be amitochondriate until the recent discovery of highly reduced mitochondrial organelles called mitosomes. Analysis of the complete genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi revealed a highly reduced set of proteins in the organelle, mostly related to the assembly

Molecular Biology of the Alternative Oxidase [PDF]
Possibly the most easily recognized component of mitochondrial respiration specific to plants is a second terminal oxidase that has been variously described as being responsible for "cyanide-insensitive respiration," 'cyanide-resistant respiration," or "alternative pathway respiration.' This type of respiration has been best defined in thermogenic ...

Salicylic Acid Can Induce Resistance to Plant Virus Movement
Salicylic acid (SA) treatment has recently been reported to inhibit replication of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in inoculated tissue. Furthermore, resistance is induced via a novel defensive signal transduction pathway sensitive to inhibition by ...

Cytochrome oxidase: an alternative model. [PDF]
Oxidative titration of reduced cytochrome oxidase (cytochrome c oxidase; ferrocytochrome c:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.9.3.1) in the presence of carbon monoxide and sulfide, at potentials greater than +500 mV (vs. the neutral hydrogen electrode), have failed to produce new copper signals in the electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of this enzyme ...

The enhancement of salt stress tolerance by salicylic acid pretreatment in Arabidopsis thaliana
Salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone involved in the activation of defense responses against environmental stresses. However, there are still large of unsolved mysteries about how SA pretreatment affects the establishment of plant stress ...

Effects of OsAOX1a Deficiency on Mitochondrial Metabolism at Critical Node of Seed Viability in Rice
Mitochondrial alternative oxidase 1a (AOX1a) plays an extremely important role in the critical node of seed viability during storage. However, the regulatory mechanism is still poorly understood.
