Receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase κ directly dephosphorylates CD133 and regulates downstream AKT activation
Although CD133 has been considered to be a molecular marker for cancer stem cells, its functional roles in tumorigenesis remain unclear. We here examined the molecular basis behind CD133-mediated signaling. Kn...

Open AccessE/N-cadherin switch mediates cancer progression via TGF-β-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental process governing not only morphogenesis in multicellular organisms, but also cancer progression. During EMT, epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) is dow...

Fine map** of the clubroot resistance gene, Crr3, in Brassica rapa
A linkage map of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) was constructed to localize the clubroot resistance (CR) gene, Crr3. Quantitative trait loci analysis using an F3 population revealed a sharp peak in the logarithm...

QTL analysis of powdery mildew resistance in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
A population of F7 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was made from a cross between susceptible (‘Santou’) and resistant (PI197088-1) lines of cucumber in order to study powdery mildew resistance loci. Susceptibilit...

Structural and distributional variation of mitochondrial rps2 genes in the tribe Triticeae (Poaceae)
The mitochondrial rps2 gene from barley, like that of rice, wheat, and maize, has an extended open reading frame (ORF) at the 3′-region when compared to that from lower plants. However, the extended portions are ...
