S100A8 and S100A9 promotes invasion and migration through p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent NF-κB activation in gastric cancer cells
S100A8 and S100A9 (S100A8/A9) are low-molecular weight members of the S100 family of calcium-binding proteins. Recent studies have reported S100A8/A9 promote tumorigenesis. We have previously reported that S10...

ATHB17 is a positive regulator of abscisic acid response during early seedling growth
We performed activation tagging screen to isolate abscisic acid (ABA) response mutants. One of the mutants, designated ahs10 (ABA-hypersensitive 10), exhibited ABA-hypersensitive phenotypes. TAIL-PCR analysis of ...

Constitutive expression of mammalian nitric oxide synthase in tobacco plants triggers disease resistance to pathogens
Nitric oxide (NO) is known for its role in the activation of plant defense responses. To examine the involvement and mode of action of NO in plant defense responses, we introduced calmodulin-dependent mammalia...

Increased polyamine biosynthesis enhances stress tolerance by preventing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species: T-DNA mutational analysis of Oryza sativa lysine decarboxylase-like protein 1
A highly oxidative stress-tolerant japonica rice line was isolated by T-DNA insertion mutation followed by screening in the presence of 50 mM H2O2. The T-DNA insertion was mapped to locus Os09g0547500, the gene p...

AtCML8, a calmodulin-like protein, differentially activating CaM-dependent enzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana
Plants express many calmodulins (CaMs) and calmodulin-like (CML) proteins that sense and transduce different Ca2+ signals. Previously, we reported divergent soybean (Glycine max) CaM isoforms (GmCaM4/5) with diff...
