A jasmonate-inducible defense trait transferred from wild into cultivated tomato establishes increased whitefly resistance and reduced viral disease incidence [PDF]
Whiteflies damage tomatoes mostly via the viruses they transmit. Cultivated tomatoes lack many of the resistances of their wild relatives. In order to increase protection to its major pest, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci and its transmitted Tomato Yellow ...

Transcriptome analysis of an oil-rich race B strain of Botryococcus braunii (BOT-22) by de novo assembly of pyrosequencing cDNA reads [PDF]
To gain genetic insights into the biosynthesis of botryococcene oils in Botryococcus braunii race B, a transcriptome dataset of the BOT-22 strain containing 27,427 non-redundant sequences assembled from 209,429 complementary DNA reads was obtained via ...

The effect of mucA allele on biofilm architecture and the biofilm-related proteomes [PDF]
In this study, a unique mucA mutation (designated mucA56) was introduced, which was characterized by deletion of bases 166-333, encoding MucA56 protein with the deletion of the trans-membrane region, which then was proved to be cytoplasmic with phoA-mucA

Molecular Mechanism of Polysaccharide Acetylation by the Arabidopsis Xylan O-acetyltransferase XOAT1
Structural and biochemical analysis of xylan O-acetyltransferase 1 (XOAT1) show that XOAT1 catalyzes xylan acetylation through formation of an acyl-enzyme intermediate via a double displacement bi-bi mechanism.

The relative abundance of APOE and Aβ1-42 associated with abnormal prion protein differs between Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease subtypes [PDF]
Aggregated and protease-resistant mammalian prion protein (PrPSc) is the primary protein component of infectious prions. Enriched PrPSc preparations are often used to study the mechanisms that underly prion disease.

Membrane proteomic analysis of pancreatic cancer cells [PDF]
Background Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive human tumors due to its high potential of local invasion and metastasis. The aim of this study was to characterize the membrane proteomes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells of ...
