Genetic and molecular analysis of the organellar genomes of cytoplasmically inherited mutants of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) [PDF]
A genetic analysis of a maternally inherited yellow foliage mutant (cyt-Y(,3)) was conducted. This mutant was characterized by pigment content determinations and by plastid ultrastructure analyses;A molecular analysis of soybean chloroplast DNA (ctDNA ...

Characterization of mouse polycystic kidney disease and receptor for egg jelly gene and protein in heterologous and native system [PDF]
The mammalian polycystic kidney disease (PKD) gene family comprises eight members whose role in cell physiology is still poorly understood. Two of the founding members of the family, PKD1 and PKD2, are responsible for the majority of cases of autosomal ...

Helicobacter pylori AddAB helicase-nuclease and RecA promote recombination-related DNA repair and survival during stomach colonization. [PDF]
Helicobacter pylori colonization of the human stomach is characterized by profound disease-causing inflammation. Bacterial proteins that detoxify reactive oxygen species or recognize damaged DNA adducts promote infection, suggesting that H.

Coiled-coil irregularities of the M1 protein structure promote M1-fibrinogen interaction and influence group A Streptococcus host cell interactions and virulence [PDF]
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a human pathogen causing a wide range of mild to severe and life-threatening diseases. The GAS M1 protein is a major virulence factor promoting GAS invasiveness and resistance to host innate immune clearance. M1 displays an

Translational control by the multi-KH domain protein Scp160 [PDF]
The control of mRNA translation mediated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is a key player in modulating gene expression. In S. cerevisiae, the multi-KH domain protein Scp160 associates with a large number of mRNAs and is present on membrane-bound and, to a

Drought-induced site-specific DNA methylation and its association with drought tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) [PDF]
An indica pyramiding line, DK151, and its recurrent parent, IR64, were evaluated under drought stress and non-stress conditions for three consecutive seasons. DK151 showed significantly improved tolerance to drought.

Effect of the environment on gene transfer in Clostridium difficile [PDF]
Clostridium difficile is a pathogenic bacterium that can colonise both humans and various animals. Toxin production leads to clinical symptoms ranging from mild to severe diarrhoea and can result in potentially fatal pseudomembranous colitis.
