Open AccessDe novo transcriptome assembly of brackish water flea Diaphanosoma celebensis based on short-term cadmium and benzo[a]pyrene exposure experiments
To develop a brackish water flea as a promising model for marine monitoring, Diaphanosoma celebensis were exposed to two pollutants, cadmium (Cd) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), which have different chemical characteri...

Transcriptional profiling of antioxidant defense system and heat shock protein (Hsp) families in the cadmium- and copper-exposed marine ciliate Euplotes crassu
To understand the transcriptional response of antioxidant defense system and heat shock protein (Hsp) families of the marine ciliate Euplotes crassus, we analyzed the transcriptome profile using RNA-seq technolog...

Overexpression of PMA1 enhances tolerance to various types of stress and constitutively activates the SAPK pathways in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
PMA1 encodes a transmembrane polypeptide that functions to pump protons out of the cell. Ectopic PMA1 overexpression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae enhances tolerance to weak acids, reactive...

Development of molecular markers for authentication of the medicinal plant species Patrinia by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis and multiplex-PCR
The authentication of components from plant species is vital for the quality control and standardization of herbal medicines. Due to morphological similarities when dried, it is very difficult to distinguish a...

Collagen I-induced dendritic cells activation is regulated by TNF-α production through down-regulation of IRF4
Previously we have shown that collagen I enhances the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs). Inflammatory mediators such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β and lipopolysaccharide...

Enhanced Extraction Efficiency of Recombinant Proteins by Use of the KNR4-Disrupted Strains of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
A fragile cell wall mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was prepared by a single step disruption of the KNR4 gene, which is involved in cell wall biosynthesis. The enhanced transport property of the muta...
