Molecular interactions on microarrays
Nature Genetics, 1999 The structural features of nucleic acid probes tethered to a solid support and the molecular basis of their interaction with targets in solution have direct implication for the hybridization process. We discuss how arrays of oligonucleotides provide powerful tools to study the molecular basis of these interactions on a scale which is impossible using ...

Conserved Curvature of RNA Polymerase I Core Promoter Beyond rRNA Genes: The Case of the Tritryps
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2015 In trypanosomatids, the RNA polymerase I (RNAPI)-dependent promoters controlling the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes have been well identified. Although the RNAPI transcription machinery recognizes the DNA conformation instead of the DNA sequence of promoters,

The secreted PAMP-induced peptide StPIP1_1 activates immune responses in potato
Scientific Reports, 2023 Treatment of potato plants with the pathogen-associated molecular pattern Pep-13 leads to the activation of more than 1200 genes. One of these, StPIP1_1, encodes a protein of 76 amino acids with sequence homology to PAMP-induced secreted peptides (PIPs ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Nitric oxide (NO) and electrophilic cyclopentenone prostaglandins (CyPG) are local mediators that modulate cellular response to oxidative stress in different pathophysiological processes. In particular, there is increasing evidence about their functional

Macrophages, PPARs, and Cancer
PPAR Research, 2008 Mononuclear phagocytes often function as control switches of the immune system, securing the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory reactions. For this purpose and depending on the activating stimuli, these cells can develop into different subsets ...

The Trypanosomal Transferrin Receptor of Trypanosoma Brucei—A Review
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2019 Iron is an essential element for life. Its uptake and utility requires a careful balancing with its toxic capacity, with mammals evolving a safe and bio-viable means of its transport and storage. This transport and storage is also utilized as part of the

Geminiviral Triggers and Suppressors of Plant Antiviral Immunity
Microorganisms, 2021 Geminiviruses are circular single-stranded DNA plant viruses encapsidated into geminate virion particles, which infect many crops and vegetables and, hence, represent significant agricultural constraints worldwide.
