Exploration of the effects of a degS mutant on the growth of Vibrio cholerae and the global regulatory function of degS by RNA sequencing [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background DegS is a periplasmic serine protease that is considered to be the initiator of the σE stress response pathway, and this protein plays an important role in the regulation of the stress response in E. coli.

Rice EARLY SENESCENCE 2, encoding an inositol polyphosphate kinase, is involved in leaf senescence

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Early leaf senescence influences yield and yield quality by affecting plant growth and development. A series of leaf senescence-associated molecular mechanisms have been reported in rice.

Comparisons and genetic assessments of WSSV resistance and growth in strain cross of Litopenaeus vannamei

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
To explore the performance differences among offspring obtained by the intra- and inter-strain crosses, strain A with outstanding WSSV resistance and strain B with outstanding growth of Litopenaeus vannamei were used to construct four experimental groups

OsNOX3, encoding a NADPH oxidase, regulates root hair initiation and elongation in rice

Biologia Plantarum, 2018
Root hairs play important roles in plant nutrient and water acquisition. To better understand the genetic mechanism controlling root hair development in rice (Oryza sativa L.), a rice mutant with root hair defects was isolated and characterized.

Genetic Transformation of a C. trachomatis Ocular Isolate With the Functional Tryptophan Synthase Operon Confers an Indole-Rescuable Phenotype

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of preventable blindness and the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection. Different strains are associated with ocular or urogenital infections, and a proposed mechanism that may explain this tissue

Elevation of Circulating Terminal Complement Components in aHUS and TTP: Utility of Genetic Testing to Differentiate Among Thrombotic Microangiopathies

Blood, 2014
Abstract Introduction: The thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) are virtually indistinguishable by clinical characteristics. However, their distinct pathophysiology and differential response to plasma exchange (PEx) or anti-C5 complement therapy demands

Editing of Chloroplast rps14 by PPR Editing Factor EMB2261 Is Essential for Arabidopsis Development

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
RNA editing in plastids is known to be required for embryogenesis, but no single editing event had been shown to be essential. We show that the emb2261-2 mutation is lethal through a failure to express an editing factor that specifically recognizes the ...

Role of lysozyme inhibitors in the virulence of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Lysozymes are key effectors of the animal innate immunity system that kill bacteria by hydrolyzing peptidoglycan, their major cell wall constituent. Recently, specific inhibitors of the three major lysozyme families occuring in the animal kingdom (c-, g-
