Biogenesis of Porin of the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane Involves an Import Pathway via Receptors and the General Import Pore of the TOM Complex
Download2001
Nargang, F. E., Pfanner, N., Neupert, W., Blachly-Dyson, E., Forte, M., Krimmer, T., Ryan, M. T., Kassenbrock, K., Rapaport, D., Douglas, M. G., Meisinger, C.
Abstract: Porin, also termed the voltage-dependent anion channel, is the most abundant protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane. The process of import and assembly of the protein is known to be dependent on the surface receptor Tom20, but the requirement for other mitochondrial proteins...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of the C-genome of Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra and B. oleracea var. botrytis
DownloadFall 2015
Spring oilseed Brassica napus L. (AACC, 2n = 38) canola is one of the most important crop in Canada, widely grown in the Prairie Provinces Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Presence of genetic diversity in breeding material is pre-requisite for developing new cultivars with desirable traits as...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of yellow sarson and Canadian spring Brassica rapa L.
DownloadFall 2015
Canada is the top producer of Brassica oilseeds [B. napus L. (n = 19, AC genome)] in the world. Genetic diversity has declined in this crop in the recent years due to use of only superior and genetically narrow gene pool in breeding. Presence of adequate genetic diversity is important for further...

Broadening the genetic base of Brassica napus canola by interspecific crosses with different variants of B. oleracea
Download2018-08-01
Iftikhar, R., Wang, X., Rahman, Habibur
Broadening the genetic base of the C genome of Brassica napus canola by use of B. oleracea is important. In this study, the prospect of developing B. napus canola lines from B. napus × B. oleracea var. alboglabra, botrytis, italica and capitata crosses and the effect of backcrossing the F1’s to...

Metabolomics involves the high throughput characterization of small molecules or metabolites in cells, tissues and organisms. To interpret, store and exchange metabolomic data it is necessary to have comprehensive, electronically accessible databases that can be used to handle both the...

Development and characterization of low α-linolenic acid Brassica oleracea lines bearing a novel mutation in a ‘class a’ FATTY ACID DESATURASE 3gene
Download2014
Singer, Stacy D., Weselake, Randall J., Rahman, Habibur
Background Traditional canola (Brassica napus L.; AACC, 2n = 38) cultivars yield seed oil with a relatively high proportion of α-linolenic acid (ALA; C18:3cisΔ9,12,15), which is desirable from a health perspective. Unfortunately, due to the instability of this fatty acid, elevated levels also...

Engineering Enhanced Performance in Plant Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase and Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase
DownloadSpring 2018
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the major storage lipid in higher plants and has great nutritional and industrial value. Plant storage lipid biosynthesis involves different subcellular compartments and a complex network of enzymes and proteins. Among them, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound diacylglycerol...

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 interaction between phosducin-like protein 2 and cytosolic chaperonin is essential for cytoskeletal protein function and cell cycle progression
Download2007
Pozniakovsky, A., Hyman, A.A., Stirling, P.C., Takhar, K.S., Srayko, M., Lerou, M.R.
The Chaperonin Containing Tcp1 (CCT) maintains cellular protein folding homeostasis in the eukaryotic cytosol by assisting the biogenesis of many proteins, including actins, tubulins, and regulators of the cell cycle. Here, we demonstrate that the essential and conserved eukaryotic phosducin-like...
