Activation of the mitochondrial signaling pathway in response to organic solvent stress in yeast
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have demonstrated that organic solvent stress activated the pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) pathway, which involves the transcription factors Pdr1p and Pdr3p. Pdr1p and Pdr3p are...

Transglutaminase 2 and Factor XIII catalyze distinct substrates in differentiating osteoblastic cell line: utility of highly reactive substrate peptides
Differentiated osteoblastic cell line, MC3T3-E1 expresses transglutaminase 2 (TG2) and Factor XIII (FXIII). In previous studies, we identified isozyme-specific and highly reactive glutamine-donor substrate pep...

Open AccessAuxin–cytokinin interactions in the control of shoot branching
In many plant species, the intact main shoot apex grows predominantly and axillary bud outgrowth is inhibited. This phenomenon is called apical dominance, and has been analyzed for over 70 years. Decapitation ...

Open AccessPsRBR1 encodes a pea retinoblastoma-related protein that is phosphorylated in axillary buds during dormancy-to-growth transition
In intact plants, cells in axillary buds are arrested at the G1 phase of the cell cycle during dormancy. In mammalian cells, the cell cycle is suppressed at the G1 phase by the activities of retinoblastoma tum...

Pumpkin hydroxypyruvate reductases with and without a putative C-terminal signal for targeting to microbodies may be produced by alternative splicing
Two full-length cDNAs encoding hydroxypyruvate reductase were isolated from a cDNA library constructed with poly(A)+ RNA from pumpkin green cotyledons. One of the cDNAs, designated HPR1, encodes a polypeptide of ...

Carboxyl-terminal processing protease for the D1 precursor protein: cloning and sequencing of the spinach cDNA
A previous study has demonstrated that the carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal) processing protease in spinach for the D1 precursor protein (pD1) of the photosystem II reaction center is a monomeric protein of about...

Molecular characterization of a glyoxysomal citrate synthase that is synthesized as a precursor of higher molecular mass in pumpkin
A cDNA clone for glyoxysomal citrate synthase (gCS) was isolated from a λgt11 cDNA library prepared from etiolated pumpkin cotyledons. The cDNA of 1989 bp consisted of a 1548 bp open reading frame that encoded...

The presequence of the precursor to the nucleus-encoded 30 kDa protein of photosystem II in Euglena gracilis Z includes two hydrophobic domains
A cDNA clone for the extrinsic 30 kDa protein (OEC30) of photosystem II in Euglena gracilis Z was isolated and characterized. The open reading frame of the cDNA encoded a polypeptide of 338 amino acids, which con...
