Molecular characterization of drug-resistant and drug-sensitive Aspergillus isolates causing infectious keratitis

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011
Purpose: To study the susceptibilities of Aspergillus species against amphotericin B in infectious keratitis and to find out if drug resistance had any association with the molecular characteristics of the fungi.

The R203W substitution drives PACS‐1 syndrome by disrupting intramolecular regulation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The middle region (MR) of PACS‐1 controls engagement with specific partner proteins. This manuscript presents the structure of the Furin binding region (FBR) and how interactions with partners are regulated through the interplay between a basic patch in the FBR and an acidic cluster in the MR.

The impact of accumulating immune adaptation in circulating strains of HIV‐1

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Mutations in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) enable the virus to evade recognition and killing by human leucocyte antigen (HLA)‐restricted T cells. These viral adaptations are specific to the HLA type of individuals and are therefore evident as HLA allele‐HIV sequence associations at the population level. Most studies of

Identification of SNPs and expression patterns of FZD3 gene and its effect on wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep (Xinjiang Type)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019
As a member of the Frizzled family, Frizzled3 (FZD3) is a receptor of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway and plays a vital role in mammalian hair follicle developmental processes. However, its effects on wool traits are not clear. The objectives of this

The receptor‐like pseudokinase LENG stimulates chilling tolerance in rice by inhibiting the activity of the OsCRPK1‐OsGF14d module

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice receptor‐like pseudokinase LENG enhances chilling tolerance by binding to and suppressing the kinase activity of OsCRPK1, thereby preventing OsCRPK1‐mediated phosphorylation of the cold‐tolerance positive regulator OsGF14d. ABSTRACT Cold damage during the seedling and reproductive stages has a pronounced impact on rice development and yield ...

The GmGT‐2F, a trihelix transcription factor, regulates seed oil content by directly activating GmAGAL transcription in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In soybean, the trihelix transcription factor GmGT‐2F positively regulates the expression of the α‐galactosidase gene GmAGAL, thereby modulating seed oil content. The cyclophilin GmCYP2 interacts with GmGT‐2F and suppresses GmAGAL activation. Haplotype diversity analysis of GmGT‐2F, GmCYP2, and GmAGAL identified favorable haplotype combinations ...

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...

Identification of Ovine KRTAP28-1 and Its Association with Wool Fibre Diameter

Animals, 2019
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are a diverse group of proteins and form a matrix that cross-links keratin intermediate filaments in hair and wool fibres.

A Single‐Base Mutation in TaWAK3‐B Reduces Plant Height via Cytoskeleton in Bread Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction of Reduced height (Rht) genes into modern wheat cultivars has resulted in ‘Green Revolution’ that skyrocketed wheat grain yields worldwide since the 1960s. These ‘Green Revolution’ cultivars show shorter plant height, but higher lodging resistance and harvest index.

Identification of a novel Arg→Cys mutation in the LDL receptor that contributes to spontaneous hypercholesterolemia in pigs

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
We previously carried out genetic and metabolic studies in a partially inbred herd of pigs carrying cholesterol-elevating mutations. Quantitative pedigree analysis indicated that apolipoprotein (apo)B and a second major gene were responsible for the ...
