Production of mutants affected in hormone signalling to dissect defence mechanisms in Hevea brasiliensis: the case of ethylene [PDF]
, 2012 Production of mutants by genetic transformation is one alternative to dissect the response to hormonal treatment. Ethylene is an important plant hormone involved in latex production.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) involved in inflammatory pathophysiology. After cellular stimulation, 5‐LOX translocates to the nucleus, interacting with the 5‐LOX‐activating protein (FLAP) to form LTA4 from arachidonic acid (AA).

Genetic Transformation of Recalcitrant Cassava by Embryo Selection and Increased Hormone Levels
Methods and Protocols, 2018 Genetic engineering is considered to be an important tool for the improvement of cassava. Cassava is a highly heterozygous crop species for which conventional breeding is a lengthy and tedious process.

Brucella NyxA and NyxB dimerization enhances effector function during infection
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Brucella abortus thrives inside cells thanks to the translocation of effector proteins that fine‐tune cellular functions. NyxA and NyxB are two effectors that destabilize the nucleolar localization of their host target, SENP3. We show that the Nyx proteins directly interact with each other and that their dimerization is essential for their function ...

Age, Sex, and Genetic Architecture of Human Gene Expression in EBV Transformed Cell Lines [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Individual expression profiles from EBV transformed cell lines are an emerging resource for genomic investigation. In this study we characterize the effects of age, sex, and genetic variation on gene expression by surveying public datasets of such profiles.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase (UGAepi) catalyzes NAD+‐dependent interconversion of UDP‐glucuronic acid (UDP‐GlcA) and UDP‐galacturonic acid (UDP‐GalA) via C4‐oxidation, 4‐keto‐intermediate rotation, and C4‐reduction. Here, Borg et al. examined the role of the substrate's carboxylate group in the enzymic mechanism by analyzing NADH‐dependent reduction

Genetic transformation in bacteria
Journal of Biosciences, 1984 Certain species of bacteria can become competent to take up high molecular weight DNA from the surrounding medium. DNA homologous to resident chromosomal DNA is transported, processed and recombined with the resident DNA. There are some variations in steps leading to transformation between Gram-positive bacteria likebiplococcus pneumoniae and Gram ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Dimeric pyruvate formate‐lyase cleaves pyruvate using a radical‐based mechanism. G734 serves as a radical storage location, and the radical is transferred to the catalytic C419 residue. Mutation of the C418‐C419 pair causes loss of enzyme activity, but does not impede radical introduction onto G734. Therefore, cis‐ but not trans‐radical transfer occurs
