PAIP1 regulates expression of immune and inflammatory response associated genes at transcript level in liver cancer cell [PDF]
Poly(A) binding protein interacting protein 1 (PAIP1) is a translation regulator and also regulate the decay of mRNA. PAIP1 has also been reported to be a marker of increased invasive potential of liver cancer. However, the roles and underlying molecular

The nitric oxide response in plant-associated endosymbiotic bacteria [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous signalling molecule which becomes very toxic due to its ability to react with multiple cellular targets in biological systems. Bacterial cells protect against NO through the expression of enzymes that detoxify this molecule

I-TRAP: A method to identify transcriptional regulator activated promoters
Background The differential expression of virulence genes is often used by microbial pathogens in adapting to the environment of their host. The differential expression of such sets of genes can be regulated by RNA polymerase sigma factors.

OsRELA Regulates Leaf Inclination by Repressing the Transcriptional Activity of OsLIC in Rice
Leaf angle is one of the most important agronomic traits in rice, and changes in leaf angle can alter plant architecture to affect photosynthetic efficiency and thus determine grain yield. Therefore, it is important to identify key genes controlling leaf

Identification and characterization of a direct activator of a gene transfer agent
Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are ‘domesticated’ bacteriophages that can transfer any genes between bacteria. Here, Paul Fogg identifies a protein that directly regulates transcription of GTA genes and whose expression is in turn controlled by a global ...

Comparative genome analysis of Wolbachia strain wAu [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Wolbachia intracellular bacteria can manipulate the reproduction of their arthropod hosts, including inducing sterility between populations known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Certain strains have been identified that are unable to

Divergent roles of CprK paralogues from Desulfitobacterium hafniense in activating gene expression [PDF]
Gene duplication and horizontal gene transfer play an important role in the evolution of prokaryotic genomes. We have investigated the role of three CprK paralogues from the cAMP receptor protein-fumarate and nitrate reduction regulator (CRP-FNR) family ...
