Selaginella genome analysis – entering the ‘homoplasy heaven’ of the MADS world

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
In flowering plants, arguably the most significant transcription factors regulating development are MADS-domain proteins, encoded by Type I and Type II MADS-box genes. Type II genes are divided into the MIKCC and MIKC* groups. In angiosperms, these types

AGAMOUS controls GIANT KILLER, a multifunctional chromatin modifier in reproductive organ patterning and differentiation. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2009
The Arabidopsis homeotic protein AGAMOUS (AG), a MADS domain transcription factor, specifies reproductive organ identity during flower development. Using a binding assay and expression analysis, we identified a direct target of AG, GIANT KILLER (GIK ...

Heat stress in spermatogenesis: a redox‐dependent decision network linking ROS, autophagy, and regulated cell death

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress (HS) is an increasing threat to male reproductive health, disrupting spermatogenesis through complex and interdependent cellular responses within the seminiferous epithelium. Although excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is a hallmark of HS, ROS also act as central regulators of cell fate decisions beyond their role ...

MADS-box family genes in sheepgrass and their involvement in abiotic stress responses

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background MADS-box genes are categorized into A, B, C, D and E classes and are involved in floral organ identity and flowering. Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel) is an important perennial forage grass and adapts well to many adverse ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Repression of flowering by the miR172 target SMZ. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2009
A small mobile protein, encoded by the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) locus, plays a central role in the control of flowering. FT is regulated positively by CONSTANS (CO), the output of the photoperiod pathway, and negatively by FLC, which integrates the effects

Epigenetic Regulation of Liver Fibrosis: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the epigenetic mechanisms—DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs—that drive hepatic stellate cell activation and the progression of liver fibrosis. It further evaluates emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these epigenetic regulators, including DNA methyltransferase and histone deacetylase inhibitors ...

MADS specificity : Unravelling the dual function of the MADS domain protein FRUITFULL

, 2017
Encrypted in the DNA lays most information needed for the development of an organism. The transcription of this information into precise patterns of gene activity results in the development of different cell types, organs, and developmental structures.

The MADS-domain protein MPF1 of Physalis floridana controls plant architecture, seed development and flowering time [PDF]

Planta, 2009
Floral and vegetative development of plants is dependent on the combinatorial action of MADS-domain transcription factors. Members of the STMADS11 subclade, such as MPF1 of Physalis, are abundantly expressed in leaves as well as in floral organs, but their function is not yet clear. Our studies with transgenic Arabidopsis that over-express MPF1 suggest
