Plant roots temporarily leak iron to promote colonization by beneficial rhizobacterium The beneficial rhizobacterium Bacillus velezensis SQR9 secretes YukE by the type VII secretion system; YukE inserts into the plant root cell membrane to cause iron leakage, which benefits SQR9 and thus promotes its...
Marine bacteria have recently attracted increasing attention to be harnessed for the production of valuable enzymes, vitamins, and bioactive compounds. Bacteria associated with the surfaces of marine macroalgae, called epibionts, are particularly interes
In fact, changes in the extracellular matrix are associated with early OA. Brophy et al. used RNA microarrays to identify the differentially expressed transcripts in OA and non-OA meniscus samples [26]. Brophy et al. reported that vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is the most highl...
withP. infestans, the earliest activated genes werePALs, indicating that phenylpropane metabolism may play a central role in the defense response. The activities of PAL in resistant varieties are much higher than in susceptible varieties [54]. In our study, the activity of PAL in Q9 was about...
that PRC2 ChIP-Seq has been attempted in very few differentiated cell types6,7,22,23. This approach is valid because most regions that are PRC2-occupied in ESCs retain H3K27me3 across differentiated cell types of all lineages12. Nevertheless, we sought to confirm that these annotations were...
ARGs are mobile genetic elements that can pass between microorganisms via horizontal gene transfer, even from dead to living cell. From: Nanotechnology in Eco-efficient Construction (Second Edition), 2019 About this pageAdd to MendeleySet alert ...
the majority of embryos being even unable to proceed beyond the 4- to 8-cell stage [16]. Therefore, like Mater and Zar1, Tcl1 can be considered as a maternal effect gene as well. It is possible that part of the effects of this gene family is to promote cell survival and/or prolifer...
Caspases are cysteine proteases with essential functions in the apoptotic pathway; their proteolytic activity toward various substrates is associated with the morphological changes of cells. Recent reports have described non-apoptotic functions of caspas
As we all know, when Pearson correlation analysis is performed between a gene and ME of its corresponding module, the absolute value of the PCC is called the module membership (MM) of this gene13. In an ideal situation, genes in the same module should be highly correlated. That is, if ...
The CST1 gene encodes a secretory peptide called Cystatin SN, which is a cysteine proteinase inhibitor. Cysteine proteases are involved in tissue remodeling during development, and they support the migration of cancer cells. CST1 itself is known to promote proliferation, clone formation, and ...
