Functional and topological analysis of yeast acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, an endoplasmic reticulum enzyme essential for triacylglycerol biosynthesis
Download2011
Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Snyder, Crystal L., Liu, Qin, Weselake, Randall J.
Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20) is a membrane protein present mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum. It catalyzes the final and committed step in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol, which is the principal repository of fatty acids for energy utilization and membrane...

Functional characterization of sucrose phosphorylase and scrR, a regulator of sucrose metabolism in Lactobacillus reuteri
Download2013-01-01
Teixeira, Januana S., Abdi, Reihaneh, Su, Marcia Shu-Wei, Schwab, Clarissa, Gänzle, Michael G.
Lactobacillus reuteri harbours alternative enzymes for sucrose metabolism, sucrose phosphorylase, fructansucrases, and glucansucrases. Sucrose phosphorylase and fructansucrases additionally contribute to raffinose metabolism. Glucansucrases and fructansucrases produce exopolysaccharides as...

Ganglioside composition of differentiated Caco-2 cells resembles human colostrum and neonatal rat intestine
Download2009
Field, Catherine J., Schnabl, Kareena L., Clandinin M. Thomas
Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids found in cell membranes and human milk with important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, growth, adhesion, migration, signalling and apoptosis. Similar changes in ganglioside composition occur during embryonic development, lactation and cancer cell...

Gene coexpression clusters and putative regulatory elements underlying seed storage reserve accumulation in Arabidopsis
Download2011
Peng, Fred Y., Weselake, Randall J.
Background In Arabidopsis, a large number of genes involved in the accumulation of seed storage reserves during seed development have been characterized, but the relationship of gene expression and regulation underlying this physiological process remains poorly understood. A more holistic view of...

Gene-expression profiling of calves 6 and 9 months after inoculation with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis
Download2014
David, Joel, De Buck, Jeroen, Barkema, Herman W., Guan, Leluo
Early detection of Johne's disease (JD) caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is essential to reduce transmission; consequently, new diagnostic techniques and approaches to detect MAP or markers of early MAP infection are being explored. The objective was to identify...

Genetic and phenotypic analysis of carbohydrate metabolism and transport in Lactobacillus reuteri
Download2018-01-01
Lactobacilli derive metabolic energy mainly from carbohydrate fermentation. Homofermentative and heterofermentative lactobacilli exhibit characteristic differences in carbohydrate transport and regulation of metabolism, however, enzymes for carbohydrate transport in heterofermentative...

Yang, Rong-Cai, Yeh, Francis C.
To counteract loss of genetic diversity crucial for current and future tree improvement, tree breeders have conserved forest genetic resources in situ in their natural ecosystems in protected areas or ex situ in plantations, seed orchards, and breeding arboreta. This article reviews the genetic...

Garcia-Hernandez, Rigoberto, Ruan, Lifang, Gänzle, Michael G., Zheng, Jinshui, Mercer, Ryan G., McMullen, Lynn M.
Escherichia coli AW1.7 is a heat resistant food isolate and the occurrence of pathogenic strains with comparable heat resistance may pose a risk to food safety. To identify the genetic determinants of heat resistance, 29 strains of E. coli that differed in their of heat resistance were analyzed...

Genetic variation and climatic impacts on survival and growth of white spruce in Alberta, Canada
Download2007-01-01
Rweyongeza, Deogratias M., Yang, Rong-Cai, Dhir, N. K., Barnhardt, L. K., Hansen, C.
Because climate has the greatest effect in determining the genetic structure of forest tree species, climatic variables with large effects on growth and survival need to be identified. This would enable proper matching of tree populations to planting sites in the present and future climates. We...

Genome sequence and activity of KS10, a transposable phage of the Burkholderia cepacia complex
Download2008
Lynch, Karlene H., Shrivastava, Savita, Seed, Kimberley D., Goudie, Amanda D., Wishart, David S., Stothard, Paul, Dennis, Jonathan J.
Background The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a versatile group of Gram negative organisms that can be found throughout the environment in sources such as soil, water, and plants. While BCC bacteria can be involved in beneficial interactions with plants, they are also considered...
