Open AccessHMGB1 orchestrates STING-mediated senescence via TRIM30α modulation in cancer cells
Although cellular senescence has emerged as a novel therapeutic concept in cancer, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) are inv...

Glutathione reductase from Brassica rapa affects tolerance and the redox state but not fermentation ability in response to oxidative stress in genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae
To determine whether the exogenous expression of glutathione reductase (GR) from Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis (BrGR) can reduce the deleterious effects of unfavorable conditions, we constructed a transgenic Sa...

A cyclophilin A CPR1 overexpression enhances stress acquisition in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Cyclophilins are conserved cis-trans peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that are implicated in protein folding and function as molecular chaperones. We found the expression of cyclophilin A, Cpr1, changes in response to e...

Expression of a glutathione reductase from Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis enhanced cellular redox homeostasis by modulating antioxidant proteins in Escherichia coli
Glutathione reductase (GR) is an enzyme that recycles a key cellular antioxidant molecule glutathione (GSH) from its oxidized form (GSSG) thus maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. A recombinant plasmid to o...

The Na+-Ca2+ Exchanger Is Essential for Embryonic Heart Development in Mice
The cardiac Na+−Ca2+ exchanger 1 (NCX1) is thought to be the major calcium extrusion mechanism and to play an important role in the regulation of intracellular calcium in the heart. The Na+−Ca2+ exchanger is part...

Proteome Analysis of Light-induced Proteins in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803: Identification of Proteins Separated by 2D-PAGE Using N-terminal Sequencing and MALDI-TOF MS
The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is an ideal model organism for the proteome study of light-induced gene expression because the whole genomic sequence has been determined. The soluble proteins extrac...
