Investigating the effects of statins on cellular lipid metabolism using a yeast expression system. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
In humans, defects in lipid metabolism are associated with a number of severe diseases such as atherosclerosis, obesity and type II diabetes. Hypercholesterolemia is a primary risk factor for coronary artery disease, the major cause of premature deaths ...

Difference in HMG1-induced DNA Bending Among Microsatellites [PDF]

open access: yesDNA Research, 1997
Sequence-dependency of high-mobility group protein (HMG) 1-induced DNA bending is examined for microsatellites using a circularization assay which can measure the extent of bending. Fragments of 133 bp containing (GGA/TCC)11 in the middle showed greater bending than those harboring (GAA/TTC)11 and (GT/AC)17 repeats, and fragments possessing (GA/TC)17 ...

Changes in the nuclear proteome of developing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Wheat grain end-use value is determined by complex molecular interactions that occur during grain development, including those in the cell nucleus. However our knowledge of how the nuclear proteome changes during grain development is limited.

Engineering Gossypol‐Free Cottonseeds for Future Global Food Security and Agricultural Sustainability

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study depicting the role of transcriptomics, RNA interference (RNAi), and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies in the breeding of glandless cottonseed and glanded cotton tissues. This approach demonstrates the potential of cotton as a dual‐purpose crop, serving both the fiber industry and as a sustainable food and feed source.

Repositioning Antimicrobial Peptides Against WHO‐Priority Fungi

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
The growing burden of drug‐resistant fungal infections, driven by pathogens such as Candida auris, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus, underscores the urgent need for novel antifungal therapies. This review explores antimicrobial peptides as promising agents with membrane‐disruptive activity, immunomodulatory properties, and delivery ...

Hmg1 mutations in Aspergillus fumigatus and their contribution to triazole susceptibility

open access: yesMedical Mycology, 2021
Abstract Triazole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus is a global health concern. In general, each triazole resistance pattern caused by the specified amino acid substitution of Cyp51A has a typical pattern depending on the mutation site. We evaluated the contribution of both Cyp51A and Hmg1 mutations to

Cytomegalic parvalbumin neurons in fetal cases of hemimegalencephaly

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 2099-2109, June 2025.
Abstract Objective Mutations in genes of the mTOR pathway have been identified as a major cause of hemimegalencephaly (HMG), focal cortical dysplasia type II, and tuberous sclerosis, cortical malformations associated with epilepsy. These conditions are characterized at the cellular level by increased size of pyramidal neurons that grow with dysmorphic ...

Light Regulation of Chlorophyll and Glycoalkaloid Biosynthesis During Tuber Greening of Potato S. tuberosum

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Potato, S. tuberosum, is one of the most important global crops, but has high levels of waste due to tuber greening under light, which is associated with the accumulation of neurotoxic glycoalkaloids.

Characterization and functional reconstruction of a highly productive germacrene A synthase from Liriodendron chinense

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1927-1937, June 2025.
Germacrene A Synthase (LcTPS3) from Liriodendron was characterized. The biosynthesis of germacrene A was achieved in a yeast chassis, and the catalytic mechanism of LcTPS3 was further elucidated. Summary Plants produce a large array of natural products which play important roles in flavours, fragrances and medicines.
