Identification and Expression Analysis of Snf2 Family Proteins in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
As part of chromatin-remodeling complexes (CRCs), sucrose nonfermenting 2 (Snf2) family proteins alter chromatin structure and nucleosome position by utilizing the energy of ATP, which allows other regulatory proteins to access DNA. Plant genomes encode a large number of Snf2 proteins, and some of them have been shown to be the key regulators at different developmental stages in Arabidopsis. Yet, little is known about the functions of Snf2 proteins in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). In this study,...

In silico homology modelling and prediction of novel epitopic peptides from P24 protein of <em>Haemonchus contortus</em>
Publication date: Available online 28 March 2019Source: GeneAuthor(s): G.V. Vedamurthy, Haseen Ahmad, Suneel Kumar Onteru, Vijay Kumar SaxenaAbstractHaemonchus contortus (HC) causes Haemonchosis in sheep and goats, with high mortality and morbidity due to lack of effective vaccine and increasing resistance to anthelmintic drugs. The present study was aimed at developing the 3D model of HCP24 protein and to identify the candidate epitopic peptides for effective humoral and cell-mediated immune-response....

Identification and function analysis of a type 2 diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT2) from the endosperm of coconut (<em>Cocos nucifera</em> L.)
Publication date: Available online 27 March 2019Source: GeneAuthor(s): Yusheng Zheng, Yuanhang Jin, Yijun Yuan, Dan Feng, Lizhi Chen, Dongdong Li, Peng ZhouAbstractCoconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is one of the most characteristic plants of tropical areas. Coconut oil and its derivatives have been widely used in various industries. In this paper, a type 2 diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT2), which is one of the key enzymes involved in triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis, was first characterized in coconut...

A thioredoxin-like protein of Bemisia tabaci interacts with coat protein of begomoviruses
Abstract Bemisia tabaci (whitefly) is the sole vector of begomoviruses, which transmits them in a persistent and circulative manner from infected to healthy plants. During this process, begomoviruses interact with various proteins in the insect vector B. tabaci that would play a specific role in the virus transmission. Identification and characterization of such proteins are important to understand the complete process of virus transmission. Coat protein (CP) of begomoviruses is...

The p38/HOG stress-activated protein kinase network couples growth to division in <i>Candida albicans</i>
by Adnane Sellam, Julien Chaillot, Jaideep Mallick, Faiza Tebbji, Julien Richard Albert, Michael A. Cook, Mike Tyers Cell size is a complex trait that responds to developmental and environmental cues. Quantitative size analysis of mutant strain collections disrupted for protein kinases and transcriptional regulators in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans uncovered 66 genes that altered cell size, few of which overlapped with known size genes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A...

Errors in translational decoding: tRNA wobbling or misincorporation?
by Xumin Ou, Jingyu Cao, Anchun Cheng, Maikel P. Peppelenbosch, Qiuwei Pan As the central dogma of molecular biology, genetic information flows from DNA through transcription into RNA followed by translation of the message into protein by transfer RNAs (tRNAs). However, mRNA translation is not always perfect, and errors in the amino acid composition may occur. Mistranslation is generally well tolerated, but once it reaches superphysiological levels, it can give rise to a plethora of diseases....

Ding, Xiaorong Tao Many persistent transmitted plant viruses, including rice stripe virus (RSV), cause serious damage to crop production worldwide. Although many reports have indicated that a successful insect-mediated virus transmission depends on a proper interaction between the virus and its insect vector, the mechanism(s) controlling this interaction remained poorly understood....
