ANTIMICROBIAL IMPACTS OF SALICORNIA FRUTICOSA PLANT EXTRACTS CULTIVATED UNDER MATROUH GOVERNORATE CONDITIONS, EGYPT [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Desert Research
Salicornia is one of the halophytes with natural bioactive molecules that exhibit antimicrobial activities. Since microorganisms’ antimicrobial resistance phenomena arise due to acquiring of resistant genes and their transmission through their ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

POTENTIAL OF SALICORNIA FRUTICOSA AS A FORAGE IN EGYPT: PHYTOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS, NUTRITIVE VALUE, AND METHANE PRODUCTION (AN IN VITRO PRELIMINARY STUDY) [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Desert Research
This study was carried out to investigate the potential of different ecotypes of Salicornia fruticosa to be a forage crop for ruminants. Three different ecotypes of Salicornia as wild, monoculture and intercropped (with tomato plants) were tested in ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

The Optimized Method of Agrobacterium Mediated Transformation in Nitraria schoberi (Ghar-e-Dagh in Persian) [PDF]

Journal of Genetic Resources, 2019
Ghar-e-Dagh (Nitraria schoberi) is a native perennial plant profoundly resistant to salinity and drought. This plant, having a well-developed deep rooting system can act as sand dunes stabilization agent and also, due to its special alkaloids may perform

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified
