GCN2 is activated by methyl jasmonate through GCN1 and reactive oxygen species in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Plant growth and productivity rely on rapid energy management strategies to adapt dynamic environments. Previous work in Arabidopsis thaliana identified a fast-regulatory switch linking cytosolic translation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling ...

The Effects of Glyburide on Apoptosis and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in INS-1 Cells in a Glucolipotoxic Condition [PDF]
Backgroundβ-cell death due to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been regarded as an important pathogenic component of type 2 diabetes. The possibility has been suggested that sulfonylurea, currently being used as one of the main oral hypoglycemic ...

Gefitinib and Erlotinib Lead to Phosphorylation of Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2 Alpha Independent of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in A549 Cells. [PDF]
Gefitinib and erlotinib are anticancer agents, which inhibit epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) occurs in patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving EGFR inhibitors.

Regulation of the interactions between human eIF5 and eIF1A by the CK2 kinase
Translation initiation in eukaryotes relies on a complex network of interactions that are continuously reorganized throughout the process. As more information becomes available about the structure of the ribosomal preinitiation complex (PIC) at various ...

PRAS40 and PRR5-like protein are new mTOR interactors that regulate apoptosis. [PDF]
TOR (Target of Rapamycin) is a highly conserved protein kinase and a central controller of cell growth. TOR is found in two functionally and structurally distinct multiprotein complexes termed TOR complex 1 (TORC1) and TOR complex 2 (TORC2).

Characterization and QTL Mapping of a Major Field Resistance Locus for Bacterial Blight in Rice
Bacterial blight (BB) disease, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is among the major factors that can cause rice yields to decrease. To address BB disease, researchers have been looking for ways to change pesticides and cultivation methods ...

Effects of Dietary Crude Protein Levels and Cysteamine Supplementation on Protein Synthetic and Degradative Signaling in Skeletal Muscle of Finishing Pigs. [PDF]
Dietary protein levels and cysteamine (CS) supplementation can affect growth performance and protein metabolism of pigs. However, the influence of dietary protein intake on the growth response of CS-treated pigs is unclear, and the mechanisms involved in
