Sindhu A, Langewisch T, Olek A, Multani DS, McCann MC, Vermerris W, Carpita NC, Johal G (2007) Maize Brittle stalk2 encodes a COBRA-like protein expressed in early organ development but required for tissue flexibility at maturity. Plant Physiol 145:1444–1459...
The Bk2 gene was cloned by a combination of transposon tagging and a candidate gene approach and found to encode a COBRA-like protein similar to rice (Oryza sativa) BC1 and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) COBRA-LIKE4. The outer periphery of the stalk has fewer vascular bundles, and the ...
Cobra venom factor is a non-lethal protein that resembles the complement C3 protein in structure and function66. Previously, the complete structure of one CVF gene fromN. Najahas been reported67. In the present study, we identified three CVF genes (Nana10828,Nana38416 and Nana10826) in theN....
COBRA contains a putative CBM (19), and it was recently shown that the purified CBM region from Brittle Culm1, a COBRA-like protein from rice, can bind cellulose (21). The fact that COBRA contains a GPI anchor (19) implies that this association occurs on the plasma membrane outer leaflet...
though like all snakes, it can expand its jaws to swallow large prey items. It has proteroglyph dentition, meaning it has two short, fixed fangs in the front of the mouth, which channel venom into the prey like hypodermic needles. The average lifespan of a wild king cobra is about 20 ...
They are distinguished from land snakes by their laterally compressed, fin-like tail, but they continue to breathe air. They have limited ability to move on land. Some species have among the most potent venoms of all snakes. Some have gentle dispositions and bite only when provoked, but ...
7, 10 Nel-like molecule-1 (Nell-1), a growth factor that is strongly expressed in neural tissue, was shown to promote chondrocyte proliferation, ECM deposition11, 12 and regulate chondrogenic differentiation.13 Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a peptide neurotrophin (NT) that could accelerate the...
Precursor mass tolerance and fragment mass tolerance were set to 10 ppm and 0.02 Da, respectively. Oxidation (methionine) and deamidation (glutamine and asparagine), and acetylation (protein N-terminus) were added as variable modifications, while carbamidomethylation (cysteine) was added as static ...
Anti-Inflammatory Effects:The peptide may help reduce inflammation, which can be beneficial for conditions like arthritis. Gut Health Improvement:BPC-157 is thought to support the healing of the gastrointestinal tract, potentially aiding in the treatment of conditions like ulcers and inflammatory bowel ...
P-III SVMPs are metalloproteinase/disintegrin-like/cysteine-rich MDC multidomain toxins belonging to the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) protein family. P-I SVMPs contain only an M domain. P-II SVMPs contain an M domain and a D domain (Bjarnason and Fox, 1995, Fox and Serrano...
