Wee1 kinase differentially regulates maize CDKA2;1a and CDKB1;1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In eukaryotes, Wee1 kinase inhibits the kinase activity of CDK/Cyc complexes through phosphorylation of a conserved residue in the CDK moiety. Wee1 is also present in plants, but has been scarcely studied. We have studied maize Wee1 regulation of CDKA/CycD2;2a or CDKB/CycD2;2a complexes.

Ploidy‐dependent modulation of DNA replication kinetics in Xenopus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using an interspecies replication system with Xenopus frog species of different ploidy levels, we investigated how DNA replication adapts to polyploidization. While replication was slower in tetraploid than in diploid nuclei, dodecaploid nuclei unexpectedly replicated faster than tetraploid nuclei. Our findings show that increasing genome size does not

Characterisation and ontogeny of natural killer cells in Xenopus laevis [PDF]

, 2002
The initial aim of the work described in this Thesis was to investigate the lymphoid organ distribution, phenotype and function of the lymphocyte population identified by candidate anti-Xenopus natural killer (NK) cell monoclonal antibodies (mAb's ...

Assessing circuit function in the developing Xenopus tadpole: a survey of the behavioral toolkit and underlying neural substrates

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
Xenopus laevis has long served as an important model for studies of embryonic development and is a cornerstone to our current understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopment, including the formation and refinement of neural

Probing the Xenopus laevis inner ear transcriptome for biological function

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background The senses of hearing and balance depend upon mechanoreception, a process that originates in the inner ear and shares features across species.

Phosphorylation of BigH1 regulates its expression pattern and promotes embryonic development

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phosphorylation is a key regulator of the linker histone variant BigH1 during Drosophila embryogenesis. We reveal that N‐terminal phosphorylation promotes the timely removal of BigH1 from chromatin. In contrast, C‐terminal phosphorylation supports early nuclear divisions and embryonic viability.

Protocol to study human Kv1.2 potassium channel pathogenic sequence variants using two-electrode voltage-clamp technique

STAR Protocols
Summary: The abietane diterpenoid pisiferic acid (PA) from conifer Chamaecyparis pisifera is a pan-rescuer of human Kv1.2 channel pathogenic loss-of-function (LOF) sequence variants.

DEADSouth protein localizes to germ plasm and is required for the development of primordial germ cells in Xenopus laevis

Biology Open, 2012
Summary DEADSouth mRNA is a component of germ plasm in Xenopus laevis and encodes a DDX25 DEAD-box RNA helicase. To determine the intracellular localization of DEADSouth protein, we injected mRNA encoding DEADSouth tagged with mCherry fluorescent protein

Auxin response and PIN‐mediated transport in chlorophyte algae

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Like multicellular plants, green algae respond to auxin and move it across their cells. However, their PIN‐like proteins do not act like plant auxin exporters, suggesting that basic auxin transport evolved early and specialized directional transport appeared later in plant evolution.
