Translocator protein/peripheral benzodiazepine receptor is not required for steroid hormone biosynthesis.

open access: yesEndocrinology, 2014
Molecular events that regulate cellular biosynthesis of steroid hormones have been a topic of intense research for more than half a century. It has been established that transport of cholesterol into the mitochondria forms the rate-limiting step in ...

A large scale prediction of bacteriocin gene blocks suggests a wide functional spectrum for bacteriocins [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Bacteriocins are peptide-derived molecules produced by bacteria, whose recently-discovered functions include virulence factors and signalling molecules as well as their better known roles as antibiotics. To date, close to five hundred bacteriocins have been identified and classified.

The ERF transcription factor MdERF38 promotes drought stress-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in apple.

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, 2019
Drought stress induces anthocyanin biosynthesis in many plant species. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Ethylene response factors (ERFs) play key roles in plant growth and various stress responses including affecting ...

Peptides as versatile scaffolds for quantum computing [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
In this work we showcase the potential of peptides as versatile scaffolds for quantum computing and molecular spintronics. In particular, we focus on lanthanide-binding tags, which were originally developed in the field of biotechnology for the study of protein structure and dynamics. Firstly, we demonstrate quantum coherent oscillations in a Neodymium

Elevated expression of protein biosynthesis genes in liver and muscle of hibernating black bears (Ursus americanus).

open access: yesPhysiological Genomics, 2009
We conducted a large-scale gene expression screen using the 3,200 cDNA probe microarray developed specifically for Ursus americanus to detect expression differences in liver and skeletal muscle that occur during winter hibernation compared with animals ...

Mathematical Modelling of Auxin Transport in Plant Tissues: Flux meets Signalling and Growth [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Plant hormone auxin has critical roles in plant growth, dependent on its heterogeneous distribution in plant tissues. Exactly how auxin transport and developmental processes such as growth coordinate to achieve the precise patterns of auxin observed experimentally is not well understood.

Four selenoproteins, protein biosynthesis, and Wnt signalling are particularly sensitive to limited selenium intake in mouse colon.

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2009
Selenium is an essential micronutrient. Its recommended daily allowance is not attained by a significant proportion of the population in many countries and its intake has been suggested to affect colorectal carcinogenesis.

HCV 3a core protein increases lipid droplet cholesteryl ester content via a mechanism dependent on sphingolipid biosynthesis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients often develop steatosis and the HCV core protein alone can induce this phenomenon. To gain new insights into the pathways leading to steatosis, we performed lipidomic profiling of HCV core protein expressing-Huh ...
