Fall 2009
DOMAIN OF UNKNOWN FUNCTION 642, (DUF642), is an uncharacterized protein family in the Pfam database, a large collection of protein families. In Arabidopsis thaliana there are 10 proteins that contain DUF642 domains. DUF642 appears to be specific to plants and is present in gymnosperms, monocots...

Functional characterization of the L-type Amino acid Transporters (LATs) in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2012
The distribution of amino acids (AAs) in plants is a complex process that involves 67 amino acid transporters (AATs) in Arabidopsis, many of which have yet to be characterized. The L-type Amino acid Transporter (LAT) family, which in Arabidopsis contains five members, remained uncharacterized in...

Genome-wide comparative analysis of flowering-related genes in arabidopsis, wheat, and barley
Download2015
Hu, Zhiqiu, Yang, Rong-Cai, Peng, Fred Y.
Early flowering is an important trait influencing grain yield and quality in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in short-season cropping regions. However, due to large and complex genomes of these species, direct identification of flowering genes and their molecular...

The two types of rejection identified in the Banff histopathologic diagnosis are T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) and antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). TCMR is most common early post-transplant while ABMR is the main cause of late graft loss. Kidney transplant TCMR is diagnosed histologically...

Manipulation of Seed Carbon Flow from Cellulose to Lipid and Protein Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis to Accelerate the Characterization of Protein-Related Genes in Canola
DownloadFall 2023
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the major oilseed crop in Canada. After oil extraction, the protein-rich seed meal (around 40% protein) serves as a nutritious feedstock for animals and the protein fraction has potential for human consumption. However, excess fiber in the seed meal (about 33%) can...

Plant acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferases (LPCATs) have different specificities in their forward and reverse reactions
Download2013
Heinz, Ernst, Zhou, Xue-Rong, Banas, Antoni, Green, Allan, Jasieniecka, Katarzyna, Weselake, Randall, Smith, Mark A., Stymne, Sten, Bayon, Shen, Zou, Jitao, Lager, Ida, Dyer, John M., Shockey, Jay M., Yilmaz, Jenny L., Wang, Peng, Kazachkov, Michael
Acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT) enzymes have central roles in acyl editing of phosphatidylcholine (PC). Plant LPCAT genes were expressed in yeast and characterized biochemically in microsomal preparations of the cells. Specificities for different acyl-CoAs were similar...

The plant vascular system transports water and nutrients, but also regulatory molecules that function in short- and long-distance mechanisms to pattern surrounding tissues. As such, the development of the vascular system is tied to the overall patterning and development of the plant body. The...

T cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped: mouse delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and mouse T cell-mediated rejection of renal allografts share common molecular mechanismsT cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped
DownloadFall 2011
Genome-wide gene expression analysis of diseases has revealed large-scale changes in the expression of thousands of genes (transcripts) representing biological processes. The processes that occur during T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts in mice and humans have been previously...

The procambium specification gene Oshox1 promotes polar auxin transport capacity and reduces its sensitivity toward inhibition
Download2002
Meijer, A. H., Reub, S., Boot, K. J. M., Scarpella, E.
The auxin-inducible homeobox gene Oshox1 of rice (Oryza sativa) is a positive regulator of procambial cell fate commitment, and its overexpression reduces the sensitivity of polar auxin transport (PAT) to the PAT inhibitor 1-N-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA). Here, we show that wild-type rice...
