It feels like it has been at least twenty years since she was born. Maybe, that is because of the seemingly endless infancy stage. For example, we finished regular late night feeds a few months ago, she continue
For example, Peppa tells Daddy pig he needs to get fit as he is ‘a bit too fat’, making jokes about his ‘big tummy’; when Daddy Pig tries to join Peppa in her treehouse he gets wedged in the door whilst the other characters laugh (episode 37 or 42, season 1). Frequent ...
The proteins from these two translation modes may have distinct localizations. For example, the mORF ofSLC35A4mRNA encodes a 324-amino-acid protein localized to the Golgi apparatus, while the uORF of the same mRNA is translated into a 103-amino-acid microprotein localized to the mitochondrial i...
Mict has previously been reported to be involved in the development of trichomes in cucumber fruits and leaves17. However, many other profound phenotypic changes were found in mict mutants; for example, mutant leaves looked brighter and glossier (Fig. 1a, b) and mutant fruit surfaces were smooth...
It is important to keep in mind that none of these changes occur in isolation. NHRs and miRs are part of the molecular network of the cell, and secondary/downstream events can be difficult to untangle from the primary effects of the hormone once the system is assayed [44]. For example,...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators which control growth and development in eukaryotes. The cestode Echinococcus granulosus has a complex life-cycle involving different development stages but the mechanisms underpinning this development, including the involvement of miRNAs, remain ...
(e. g., J188, A2). There were occasional exceptions; strain J63, for example, had low arginase activity, but high amounts of arginase protein (Fig.4). It was difficult to detect arginase protein in some of the lowest arginase activity strains, such as strains A2, A5, A6, A7 (Fig...
To further obtain insights into the Rhipicephalus microplus transcriptome, we used RNA-seq to carry out a study of expression in (i) embryos; (ii) ovaries from partially and fully engorged females; (iii) salivary glands from partially engorged females; (
[54]. The accumulated citrate is metabolized by citrate lyase into oxaloacetic acid and acetyl-CoA (precursors for ROS and NO, respectively) after transport to the cytosol via citric acid transporter [14,15]. Intriguingly, immune-responsive gene 1 (IRG1) redirects citrate to itaconate, which ...
For example, laccase is one of the most important enzymes for fiber growth owing to its involvement in secondary wall biosynthesis [34, 35]. Two Arabidopsis laccase genes, LAC17 and LAC4, are targeted by miR397a to mediate their functions. Similarly, this study identified two laccase genes ...
