Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

A global view of substrate phosphorylation and dephosphorylation during budding yeast mitotic exit
Microbial Cell, 2018 The cell cycle is the process by which a cell duplicates its DNA during S-phase and divides its chromosomes during M-phase, creating two genetically identical daughter cells.

Detection of quantitative trait loci for locomotion and osteochondrosis-related traits in Large White x Meishan pigs. [PDF]
, 2003 Data from the F2 generation of a Large White (LW) 5 Meishan (MS) crossbred population were analysed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for leg and gait scores, osteochondrosis and physis scores.

C-banding, fluorescent staining and NOR location in holokinetic chromosomes of bugs of the Neotropical genus Antiteuchus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Discocephalinae) [PDF]
, 2006 Different cytogenetic techniques including C-banding, base-specific fluorochromes and silver nitrate staining were used to compare the karyotypes of three species of bugs, representatives of the Neotropical genus Antiteuchus, namely A.

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

Large chromosomal structural variations between M. acuminata and M balbisiana and their consequences on chromosome recombination and segregation in a AAAB polyploidy context [PDF]
, 2017 Many banana cultivars are triploid interspecific hybrids between M. acuminata (Genome A, 2n=22) and M. balbisiana (Genome B, 2n=22). They included the important group of Plantain cooking bananas classified as AAB.

Principles of meiotic chromosome assembly revealed in S. cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2019 During meiotic prophase, chromosomes organise into a series of chromatin loops emanating from a proteinaceous axis, but the mechanisms of assembly remain unclear.

The IQ‐compete assay for measuring mitochondrial protein import efficiencies in living yeast cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The efficiency of mitochondrial protein import depends on the properties of the newly synthesized precursor proteins. The Import and de‐Quenching Competition (IQ‐compete) assay is a novel method to monitor the import efficiency of different proteins by fluorescence in living yeast cells.
