Identification and characterization of domains responsible for self-assembly and cell wall binding of the surface layer protein of Lactobacillus brevis ATCC 8287 [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Lactobacillus brevis ATCC 8287 is covered by a regular surface (S-) layer consisting of a 435 amino acid protein SlpA. This protein is completely unrelated in sequence to the previously characterized S-layer proteins of Lactobacillus ...

A Role for the Plastidial GPT2 Translocator in the Modulation of Lignin Biosynthesis

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineering plants with reduced lignin content can result in pleiotropic growth defects. In stems of Arabidopsis plants with reduced expression of hydroxycinnamoyl CoA: shikimate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HCT), the plastidial glucose 6‐phosphate: phosphate co‐transporter GPT2 is highly overexpressed, and this coincides with reduced lignin ...

Reactive Oxygen Species as Additional Determinants for Cytotoxicity of Clostridium difficile Toxins A and B

Toxins, 2016
Clostridium difficile infections can induce mild to severe diarrhoea and the often associated characteristic pseudomembranous colitis. Two protein toxins, the large glucosyltransferases TcdA and TcdB, are the main pathogenicity factors that can induce ...

Drought‐Induced Abscisic Acid Accumulation in Soybean Roots Depends on NCED Gene Expression More Than Shoot‐to‐Root ABA Transport

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone in plant responses to water deficit. Although there is extensive evidence that roots can synthesise ABA, recent findings suggest that local synthesis in response to dehydration contributes little to the root ABA pool compared to shoot‐sourced ABA.

Cysteine Signalling in Plant Pathogen Response

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The amino acid cysteine is the precursor for a wide range of sulfur‐containing functional molecules in plants, including enzyme cofactors and defence compounds. Due to its redox active thiol group cysteine is highly reactive. Synthesis and degradation pathways are present in several subcellular compartments to adjust the intracellular cysteine

Understanding the genetic basis of heat stress tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) through genome‐wide association studies

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Heat stress can reduce the production potential of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by affecting the various developmental stages of wheat including the seedling stage. Understanding the genetic basis of heat stress tolerance can help in breeding resilient wheat cultivars with improved productivity.

Research Progress of Glucansucrase from Lactic Acid Bacteria

Shipin gongye ke-ji
Glucansucrase (EC.2.4.5.1) is a class of α-glucosyltransferases, mainly produced by lactic acid bacteria such as Leuconostoc, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus. The structure and catalytic mechanism of glucansucrase are diverse, and it is an important tool

Unstable anthocyanin pigmentation in Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia (African violet) is due to transcriptional selectivity of a single MYB gene

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 3, Page 1426-1444, August 2025.
Summary Saintpaulia (African violet) pigmentation is notoriously unstable and sometimes forms white stripes, particularly following passage through tissue culture. White‐striped petals were thought to be due to periclinal chimeras, but we confirmed that white stripes result from epigenetic regulation rather than periclinal chimeras based on the flower ...
