Microbial arsenite oxidation with oxygen, nitrate, or an electrode as the sole electron acceptor
The purpose of this study was to identify bacteria that can perform As(III) oxidation for environmental bioremediation. Two bacterial strains, named JHS3 and JHW3, which can autotrophically oxidize As(III)–As(...

PCE dechlorination by non-Dehalococcoides in a microbial electrochemical system
The bioremediation of tetrachloroethene (perchloroethene; PCE) contaminated sites generally requires a supply of some fermentable organic substrates as an electron donor. On the other hand, organic substrates ...

Effect of the cathode potential and sulfate ions on nitrate reduction in a microbial electrochemical denitrification system
Recently, bioelectrochemical systems have been demonstrated as advantageous for denitrification. Here, we investigated the nitrate reduction rate and bacterial community on cathodes at different cathode potent...

Electron flux and microbial community in microbial fuel cells (open-circuit and closed-circuit modes) and fermentation
A closed-circuit microbial fuel cell (C-MFC) was operated to investigate the electron flux under fed-batch mode, and the results were compared to those of open-circuit MFC (O-MFC) and a fermentation reactor (F...

Transcription factors Sp1 and Sp3 regulate expression of human ABCG2 gene and chemoresistance phenotype
ABCG2 is a member of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transmembrane proteins that plays an important role in stem cell biology and drug resistance of cancer cells. In this study, we investigated how expression o...

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence and identification of a candidate gene responsible for cytoplasmic male sterility in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) containing DCGMS cytoplasm
A novel cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) conferred by Dongbu cytoplasmic and genic male-sterility (DCGMS) cytoplasm and its restorer-of-fertility gene (Rfd1) was previously reported in radish (Raphanus sativus L....

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...

1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol induces apoptosis via both calcium and ROS in mouse melanoma cells
We demonstrated that the apoptotic cell death of mouse melanoma cells exposed to 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (DCP) was Ca2+ dependent. 1,3-DCP inhibited the growth of mouse melanoma cells in a concentration-dependent...
