Amino acid uptake in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2008 Nitrogen (N) is essential for all living organisms and is considered to be the limiting factor for plant growth in many ecosystems. Although generally believed to rely on mineral N to fulfill their N needs, plants have also been found to access organic N

The AAP gene family for amino acid permeases contributes to development of the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii in roots of Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2013 The beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii is able to infect Arabidopsis plants and induce feeding sites in the root. These syncytia are the only source of nutrients for the nematodes throughout their life and are a nutrient sink for the host plant.

Molecular mechanism of voltage-dependent potentiation of KCNH potassium channels
eLife, 2017 EAG-like (ELK) voltage-gated potassium channels are abundantly expressed in the brain. These channels exhibit a behavior called voltage-dependent potentiation (VDP), which appears to be a specialization to dampen the hyperexitability of neurons.

Improving the Efficiency and Orthogonality of Genetic Code Expansion
BioDesign Research, 2022 The site-specific incorporation of the noncanonical amino acid (ncAA) into proteins via genetic code expansion (GCE) has enabled the development of new and powerful ways to learn, regulate, and evolve biological functions in vivo.

Amino acid transporter genes are essential for FLO11-dependent and FLO11-independent biofilm formation and invasive growth in saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2012 Amino acids can induce yeast cell adhesion but how amino acids are sensed and signal the modulation of the FLO adhesion genes is not clear. We discovered that the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK evolved invasive growth ability under ...

A computational approach for designing D-proteins with non-canonical amino acid optimised binding affinity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Redesigning protein surface topology to improve target binding holds great promise in the search for highly selective therapeutics. While significant binding improvements can be achieved using natural amino acids, the introduction of non-canonical ...
