Changes to coral health and metabolic activity under oxygen deprivation [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
On Hawaiian reefs, the fast-growing, invasive algae Gracilaria salicornia overgrows coral heads, restricting water flow and light, thereby smothering corals. Field data shows hypoxic conditions (dissolved oxygen (DO2) < 2 mg/L) occurring underneath algal

Structural basis for high specificity of octopine binding in the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Agrobacterium pathogens of octopine- and nopaline-types force host plants to produce either octopine or nopaline compounds, which they use as nutrients.

The Octopine Effects on Serum Blood Glucose Level and Oxidative Stress Indices in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

open access: yesDepiction of Health, 2020
Background: Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder caused by a defect in the secretion or function of insulin. Arginine is an amino acid that is lower in these patients. Octopine is an arginine derivative.

Characterization of Flavin-Containing Opine Dehydrogenase from Bacteria. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Opines, in particular nopaline and octopine, are specific compounds found in crown gall tumor tissues induced by infections with Agrobacterium species, and are synthesized by well-studied NAD(P)H-dependent dehydrogenases (synthases), which catalyze the ...

Expression, Purification, and Biophysical Characterization of a Secreted Anthrax Decoy Fusion Protein in Nicotiana benthamiana. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Anthrax toxin receptor-mediated drug development for blocking anthrax toxin action has received much attention in recent decades. In this study, we produced a secreted anthrax decoy fusion protein comprised of a portion of the human capillary ...

The Presence and Characterization of a virF Gene on Agrobacterium vitis Ti Plasmids

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
Octopine and nopaline strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens differ in their ability to induce tumors on Nicotiana glauca. The presence of a virF locus on the octopine Ti plasmid makes N.

Capsella rubella TGA4, a bZIP transcription factor, causes delayed flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2016
Flowering time is usually regulated by many environmental factors and endogenous signals. TGA family members are bZIP transcription factors that bind to the octopine synthase element, which has been closely linked to defense/stress responses ...

Different 3' end regions strongly influence the level of gene expression in plant cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
We have investigated the functional role of a 3' end region on the expression of a reporter gene in plant cells. In stably transformed plants, expression of the reporter gene without a plant gene 3' end is variable and depends on the fortuitous presence ...

Proteomic responses to hypoxia at different temperatures in the great scallop (Pecten maximus) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
Hypoxia and hyperthermia are two connected consequences of the ongoing global change and constitute major threats for coastal marine organisms. In the present study, we used a proteomic approach to characterize the changes induced by hypoxia in the great
