Hypoxia activates IKK–NF-κB and the immune response in Drosophila melanogaster
Hypoxia, or low oxygen availability, is an important physiological and pathological stimulus for multicellular organisms. Molecularly, hypoxia activates a transcriptional programme directed at restoration of oxygen homoeostasis and cellular survival.

Genetic variation in voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels is a significant contributor to neurodevelopmental disorders. NaV channel alpha subunits are encoded by the SCNxA family and four are predominately expressed in the brain: SCN1A, SCN2A, SCN3A, and ...

A compartmentalized regulator of developmental gene expression in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
We have identified a new Bacillus subtilis gene, spoVT, whose gene product is homologous to the transcriptional regulator AbrB and serves as a regulator of E sigmaG-controlled gene expression. SpoVT acts both positively and negatively in controlling sigmaG-dependent gene expression, providing an additional level of refinement to forespore gene ...

Gene expression in a drosophila model of mitochondrial disease [PDF]
Background A point mutation in the Drosophila gene technical knockout (tko), encoding mitoribosomal protein S12, was previously shown to cause a phenotype of respiratory chain deficiency, developmental delay, and neurological abnormalities similar to ...

Developmental and tissue-specific involvement of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha in the control of mouse uncoupling protein-3 gene expression. [PDF]
Uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) is a member of the mitochondrial carrier family expressed preferentially in skeletal muscle and heart. It appears to be involved in metabolic handling of fatty acids in a way that minimizes excessive production of reactive ...

Splayed : a chromatin remodeler regulating tissue specific gene silencing and developmental timing [PDF]
A number of mechanisms that contribute to epigenetic regulation of gene expression have been described in plants. The concert actions of these mechanisms contribute to proper patterning of gene expression within organs and tissues, therefore insuring ...

A specific group of genes respond to cold dehydration stress in cut Alstroemeria flowers whereas ambient dehydration stress accelerates developmental senescence expression patterns [PDF]
Petal development and senescence entails a normally irreversible process. It starts with petal expansion and pigment production, and ends with nutrient remobilization and ultimately cell death.

Mapping Native R-Loops Genome-wide Using a Targeted Nuclease Approach
Summary: R-loops are three-stranded DNA:RNA hybrids that are implicated in many nuclear processes. While R-loops may have physiological roles, the formation of stable, aberrant R-loops has been observed in neurological disorders and cancers.
