Requirements for sulfate transport and the diastrophic dysplasia sulfate transporter in fibronectin matrix assembly [PDF]
Diastrophic dysplasia sulfate transporter (DTDST) is a sulfate/chloride antiporter whose function is impaired in several human chondrodysplasias. We show that DTDST is upregulated by dexamethasone stimulation of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells and is required for fibronectin (FN) extracellular matrix deposition by these cells.

The Evolving View of Uremic Toxicity
Indoxyl sulfate, closely related to indigo, a dye valued for it binding to cloth, has been recognized as a protein-bound solute bound to albumin, present in increased concentration in the serum of patients with impaired glomerular filtration (13).

Sulfate permeasesphylogenetic diversity of sulfate transport.
Sulfate uptake, the first step of sulfate assimilation in all organisms, is a highly endoergic, ATP requiring process. It is under tight control at the transcriptional level and is additionally modulated by posttranslational modifications, which are not yet fully characterized.

Sulfate Transport in Cultured Tobacco Cells [PDF]
Sulfate transport by tobacco cells (var. Xanthi) cultured in liquid medium was investigated. Monophasic uptake was observed over a sulfate concentration range from 0.01 to 10 millimolar, and the K(m) was 20 micromolar. A time-dependent stimulation of transport was observed when cells were incubated in medium containing 0.5 millimolar Ca(2+).

Measurement of Uptake and Root-to-Shoot Distribution of Sulfate in Arabidopsis Seedlings
Sulfur is an essential macronutrient required for growth and development of plants. Plants take up sulfate from the soil environment through the function of plasma membrane-bound sulfate transporters expressed at the root surface cell layers. Plants then

Comparison of human hepatoma HepaRG cells with human and rat hepatocytes in uptake transport assays in order to predict drug induced hepatotoxicity [PDF]
Human hepatocytes are the gold standard for toxicological studies but they have several drawbacks, like scarce availability, high inter-individual variability, a short lifetime, which limits their applicability.

Effects of selenium biofortification on crop nutritional quality [PDF]
Selenium (Se) at very low doses has crucial functions in humans and animals. Since plants represent the main dietary source of this element, Se-containing crops may be used as a means to deliver Se to consumers (biofortification). Several strategies have

Leaves play a central role in the adaptation of nitrogen and sulfur metabolism to ammonium nutrition in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) [PDF]
Background: The coordination between nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) assimilation is required to suitably provide plants with organic compounds essential for their development and growth.
