Hormonal Regulation of Expression of Two Cysteine Endopeptidase Genes in Rice Seedlings [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 1997 Two cDNA probes (pRP60 and pRP80) were used to examine the hormonal regulation of expression of two cysteine endopeptidase genes in germinated whole seeds and de-embryonated seeds of rice. The pRP60 protein is a major rice cysteine endopeptidase named REP-1 that digests rice glutelin, the main seed storage protein.

Proteomic signatures of equine dental tooth tissues in ageing and disease
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Ageing and dental disease in horses lead to structural and functional deterioration of dental tissues, yet their molecular signatures remain poorly characterised. Understanding how these processes alter the protein composition of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp is essential for improving equine oral health and identifying ...

Structural modeling and functional analysis of the essential ribosomal processing protease Prp from Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
, 2017 In Firmicutes and related bacteria, ribosomal large subunit protein L27 is encoded with a conserved N-terminal extension that is removed to expose residues critical for ribosome function. Bacteria encoding L27 with this N-terminal extension also encode a

Binuclear Copper‐Dependent Oxidative Enzymes Involved in Fungal Natural Product Modifications
Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.This article summarizes recent biochemical characterizations of a new enzyme family named by the authors as binuclear copper‐dependent oxidative enzymes (BiNCOs). Found in fungal natural product biosynthesis, BiNCOs catalyze diverse CH functionalization reactions, including C(sp3)H halogenation, C(sp3)H hydroxylation, C(sp3)O macrocyclization, and ...
