Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of gene expression in a variety of biological process and in multiple species. In plants, they are transcribed by different RNA polymerases and show diverse structural features. With the

The Phosphate Transporter Gene OsPht1;4 Is Involved in Phosphate Homeostasis in Rice. [PDF]
A total of 13 phosphate transporters in rice (Oryza sative) have been identified as belonging to the Pht1 family, which mediates inorganic phosphate (Pi) uptake and transport.

Magnesium Contact Ions Stabilize the Tertiary Structure of Transfer RNA: Electrostatics Mapped by Two-Dimensional Infrared Spectra and Theoretical Simulations [PDF]
Ions interacting with hydrated RNA play a central role in defining its secondary and tertiary structure. While spatial arrangements of ions, water molecules, and phosphate groups have been inferred from X-ray studies, the role of electrostatic and other noncovalent interactions in stabilizing compact folded RNA structures is not fully understood at the

Salivary phosphate as a biomarker for human diseases
Phosphate is a common ingredient of the daily consumed foods and is absorbed in the intestine and is excreted in the urine through the kidney to maintain the homeostatic balance.

The PPIP5K Family Member Asp1 Controls Inorganic Polyphosphate Metabolism in S. pombe
Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) which is ubiquitously present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, consists of up to hundreds of orthophosphate residues linked by phosphoanhydride bonds.

Homeostasis and injectivity: a reaction network perspective [PDF]
Homeostasis is a mechanism by which a feature can remain invariant with change in external parameters. We adopt the definition of homeostasis in the context of singularity theory. We make a connection between homeostasis and the theory of injective reaction networks.

Effect of cholesterol on the mechanical stability of gel-phase phospholipid bilayers studied by AFM force spectroscopy [PDF]
The low sliding friction of articular cartilage in the major joints , which is crucial for its homeostasis and for joint health, has been attributed to lipid bilayers forming lubricious boundary layers at its surface. The robustness of such layers, and thus their lubrication efficiency at joint pressures, depends on the lipids forming them, including ...

Homeostasis in Gene Regulatory Networks [PDF]
In this paper, we use the framework of infinitesimal homeostasis to study general design principles for the occurrence of homeostasis in gene regulatory networks. We assume that the dynamics of the genes explicitly includes both transcription and translation, keeping track of both mRNA and protein concentrations.
