Genome-wide assessment of differential effector gene use in embryogenesis [PDF]
Six different populations of cells were isolated by FACS from disaggregated late blastula and gastrula stage sea urchin embryos according to the regulatory states expressed in these cells, as reported by recombineered BACs producing fluorochromes ...

An engineered Escherichia coli is developed to efficiently produce adipic acid (AA) from cyclohexanol, KA oil (a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone), or cyclohexane through a combination of enzyme screening, protein fusion, and genome editing techniques. This approach has achieved the highest recorded productivity for biological AA production to

Conserved regulatory state expression controlled by divergent developmental gene regulatory networks in echinoids [PDF]
Evolution of the animal body plan is driven by changes in developmental gene regulatory networks (GRNs), but how networks change to control novel developmental phenotypes remains, in most cases, unresolved. Here, we address GRN evolution by comparing the

Tracheal development in the Drosophila brain is constrained by glial cells [PDF]
The Drosophila brain is tracheated by the cerebral trachea, a branch of the first segmental trachea of the embryo. During larval stages the cerebral trachea splits into several main (primary) branches that grow around the neuropile, forming a ...

PlantTFDB 4.0: toward a central hub for transcription factors and regulatory interactions in plants
With the goal of providing a comprehensive, high-quality resource for both plant transcription factors (TFs) and their regulatory interactions with target genes, we upgraded plant TF database PlantTFDB to version 4.0 (http://planttfdb.cbi.pku.edu.cn ...

Building developmental gene regulatory networks [PDF]
Animal development is an elaborate process programmed by genomic regulatory instructions. Regulatory genes encode transcription factors and signal molecules, and their expression is under the control of cis-regulatory modules that define the logic of ...

Specific functions of the Wnt signaling system in gene regulatory networks throughout the early sea urchin embryo [PDF]
Wnt signaling affects cell-fate specification processes throughout embryonic development. Here we take advantage of the well-studied gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that control pregastrular sea urchin embryogenesis to reveal the gene regulatory ...

Early asymmetric cues triggering the Dorsal/Ventral Gene Regulatory Network of the sea urchin embryo [PDF]
Dorsal/ventral (DV) patterning of the sea urchin embryo relies on a ventrally-localized organizer expressing Nodal, a pivotal regulator of the DV gene regulatory network.

Repositioning of Verrucosidin, a purported inhibitor of chaperone protein GRP78, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I. [PDF]
Verrucosidin (VCD) belongs to a group of fungal metabolites that were identified in screening programs to detect molecules that preferentially kill cancer cells under glucose-deprived conditions.

Deciphering the dynamic code: DNA recognition by transcription factors in the ever-changing genome
Transcription factors (TFs) intricately navigate the vast genomic landscape to locate and bind specific DNA sequences for the regulation of gene expression programs.
