Functional characterization of a novel cell-wall annotated PELPK1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadSpring 2011
Abstract In silico analysis showed that Arabidopsis thaliana gene AT5G09530 encodes a uniquely repetitive, proline-enriched protein that is conserved across species, and is likely secreted to the cell wall. Based on its most common amino acid repeat motif, I named the gene PELPK1 and its...

Linum usitatissimum (flax) is an annual eudicot for which two types are cultivated: linseed and fiber flax. The stem fibers of linseed are not generally used commercially because they are of lower quality and yield than those obtained from fiber flax. Moreover, the extraction of fibers by...

Bacteria need to adapt to the ever-changing conditions in the environment and Escherichia coli employs the Cpx two-component system to protect the envelope, which consists of the inner membrane, periplasm, peptidoglycan, and outer membrane. Cpx is known to sense and respond to protein misfolding...
