Bridging of calixarenes withN,N′-bis (chloroacetyl) propylenediamine
A new bridging reagent,N,N′-bis (chloroacetyl) propylenediamine was used to explore the relative activity and bridging pattern ofp-tert-butylcalix[4] arene,p-tert-butylcalix[6] arene and butylcalix[8] arene. It w...

Chemical probing reveals insights into the signaling mechanism of inflammasome activation
Caspase-1-mediated IL-1β production is generally controlled by two pathways. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize pathogen-derived products and induce NF-κB-dependent pro-IL-1β transcription; NOD-like receptor...

Open AccessCloning and expression profiling of the VLDLR gene associated with egg performance in duck (Anas platyrhynchos)
The very low density lipoprotein receptor gene (VLDLR), a member of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family, plays a crucial role in the synthesis of yolk protein precursors in oviparous species. ...

Modified pPIC9K vector-mediated expression of a family 11 xylanase gene, Aoxyn11A, from Aspergillus oryzae in Pichia pastoris
A full-length cDNA sequence of Aoxyn11A, a mesophilic xylanase-encoding gene from Aspergillus oryzae, was obtained from total RNA, using 3′ and 5′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends methods. The cDNA sequence is 1,...

miR-125a inhibits porcine preadipocytes differentiation by targeting ERRα
MicroRNAs are a family of small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression in a sequence-specific manner. Estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) is an orphan nuclear receptor which plays an important role in a...

Open AccessTranscriptomic and biochemical analysis of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and a chromosome segment substitution line from G. hirsutum × G. barbadense in response to Verticillium dahliae infection
Verticillium wilt (VW), also known as “cotton cancer,” is one of the most destructive diseases in global cotton production that seriously impacts fiber yield and quality. Despite numerous attempts, little sign...

Enhancer reprogramming driven by high-order assemblies of transcription factors promotes phenotypic plasticity and breast cancer endocrine resistance
Acquired therapy resistance is a major problem for anticancer treatment, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Using an established breast cancer cellular model, we show that endocrine resist...

Geographical and interspecific variation in susceptibility of three common thrips species to the insecticide, spinetoram
Different species of thrips can occur in the same location and on the same plant. However, variation among dominant thrips species in their susceptibility to insecticide remains unclear. In this study, we eval...

Acrylate protects a marine bacterium from grazing by a ciliate predator
Cleavage of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) can deter herbivores in DMSP-producing eukaryotic algae; however, it is unclear whether a parallel defence mechanism operates in marine bacteria. Here we demonstra...
