Toward Artificial Developmental Regulators [PDF]
A polyamide-peptide conjugate is designed which recruits sequence specifically the developmental regulator Exd to a cognate DNA site. In particular, an eight-ring hairpin polyamide (Im-Im-Py(C3H6NHR)-Py-gamma-Im-Py-Py-Py-beta-Dp) with a heptapeptide (R = Ac-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Trp-Met-Lys-Gly-) attached on a central ring was shown to induce cooperative binding

microRNAs as Developmental Regulators. [PDF]
The field of miRNA biology is relatively young, but its impact on our understanding of the regulation of a wide array of cell functions is far-reaching. The importance of miRNAs in development has become nearly ubiquitous, with miRNAs contributing to development of most cells and organs.

A mutant O-GlcNAcase enriches Drosophila developmental regulators. [PDF]
YesProtein O-GlcNAcylation is a reversible post-translational modification of serines/threonines on nucleocytoplasmic proteins. It is cycled by the enzymes O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAc hydrolase (O-GlcNAcase or OGA).

Vascular Regulation of Developmental Neurogenesis
Evolutionary studies indicate that the nervous system evolved prior to the vascular system, but the increasing complexity of organisms prompted the vascular system to emerge in order to meet the growing demand for oxygen and nutrient supply. In recent years, it has become apparent that the symbiotic communication between the nervous and the vascular ...

Callose homeostasis at plasmodesmata: molecular regulators and developmental relevance [PDF]
Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels that are located in the plant cell wall and that physically interconnect the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of adjacent cells.

Regulators of the Asexual Life Cycle of Aspergillus nidulans
The genus Aspergillus, one of the most abundant airborne fungi, is classified into hundreds of species that affect humans, animals, and plants. Among these, Aspergillus nidulans, as a key model organism, has been extensively studied to understand the ...

MicroRNA-driven developmental remodeling in the brain distinguishes humans from other primates. [PDF]
While multiple studies have reported the accelerated evolution of brain gene expression in the human lineage, the mechanisms underlying such changes are unknown. Here, we address this issue from a developmental perspective, by analyzing mRNA and microRNA

The engineering of developmental regulation [PDF]
It is fast becoming clear that, to understand the complexity of biological systems, it is not enough just to have mechanistic explanations for how things happen. We also need explanations for why things are there, i.e. what it is about particular states of affairs that enabled them to have been selected for.

Different Preclimacteric Events in Apple Cultivars with Modified Ripening Physiology
“Anna” is an early season apple cultivar exhibiting a fast softening and juiciness loss during storage, in comparison to two mid-late season cultivars “Galaxy” and “GD.” The poor storage capacity of “Anna” was correlated with high lipid oxidation-related
