    The BCL-2 family protein BCL-RAMBO interacts and cooperates with GRP75 to promote its apoptosis signaling pathway

    The BCL-2 family protein BCL-RAMBO, also known as BCL2-like 13, anchors at the outer mitochondrial membrane and regulates apoptosis, mitochondrial fragmentation, and mitophagy. However, the mechanisms underlyi...

    Molecular cloning and cytochemical analysis of exopolygalacturonase from carrot

    Exopolygalacturonase (exo-PGase, EC 3.2.1.67) attacks the non-reducing terminus of the polygalacturonic acid in pectic molecules, releasing galacturonic acid. We cloned the cDNA of exo-P...
