Ligand binding specificity of RutR, a member of the TetR family of transcription regulators inEscherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, 2015
RutR is a member of the large family of TetR transcriptional regulators inEscherichiacoli. It was originally discovered as the regulator of therutABCDEFG operon encoding a novel pathway for pyrimidine utilization, but its highest affinity target is the ...

Carbon‐Based Flexible Electrode for Efficient Electrochemical Generation of Reactive Chlorine Species in Tumor Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A flexible electrode loaded with a carbon nanowire network (CC@C‐NWN) is developed for electrochemically generating reactive chlorine species (RCS) from abundant chloride ions in body fluids for tumor therapy. CC@C‐NWN enhances chlorine evolution, inducing redox dysregulation and synergistic apoptosis‐ferroptosis in tumor cells.

Further characterization of Dothistromin genes in the fungal forest pathogen Dothistroma septosporum : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Molecular Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2005
Dothistroma septosporum is a forest pathogen that causes a disease called Dothistroma needle blight. The symptoms are thought to be due to the accumulation of dothistromin toxin produced by D. septosporum.
