The anti-phytoalexin gene Bx-cathepsin W supports the survival of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus under Pinus massoniana phytoalexin stress

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2019
Background Pine trees challenged by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus invasion produce phytoalexins to combat this nematode. Nevertheless, the phytoalexins of Asian pine trees are ineffective against B. xylophilus. The anti-phytoalexin genes of B.

Gene structure of mouse cathepsin B

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1990
The structure of a genomic DNA fragment encoding mouse cathepsin B was characterized. The genomic insert spans 15 kbp and contains 9 exons encoding the 339 amino acid residues of mouse preprocathepsin B. Intron break‐points are not found at the junctions of the pre‐peptide, pro‐peptide and mature enzyme. Like other cysteine proteinase genes, the region

Two cathepsins B are responsible for the yolk protein hydrolysis in Culex quinquefasciatus.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Despite the established role of Culex quinquefasciatus as a vector of various neurotropic viruses, such as the Rift Valley and West Nile viruses, as well as lymphatic filariasis, little is known regarding the organism's reproductive physiology.

Normal Ribosomal Biogenesis but Shortened Protein Synthetic Response to Acute Eccentric Resistance Exercise in Old Skeletal Muscle. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Anabolic resistance to feeding in aged muscle is well-characterized; however, whether old skeletal muscle is intrinsically resistant to acute mechanical loading is less clear.
