Metazoan Ribosome Inactivating Protein encoding genes acquired by Horizontal Gene Transfer
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-12)
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA N-glycosidases that depurinate a specific adenine residue in the conserved sarcin/ricin loop of 28S rRNA. These enzymes are widely distributed among plants and their presence ...
Characterization of horizontally acquired ribotoxin encoding genes and their transcripts in Aedes aegypti
(Elsevier Science, 2020-09)
Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are RNA N-glycosidases that depurinate a specific adenine residue in the conserved sarcin/ricin loop of the 28S rRNA. The occurrence of RIP genes has been described in a wide range of ...
Whitefly genomes contain ribotoxin coding genes acquired from plants
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-12)
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA N-glycosidases that depurinate a specific adenine residue in the conserved sarcin/ricin loop of 28S rRNA. These enzymes are widely distributed among plants and bacteria. ...
Improved hepatic MRP2/ABCC2 transport activity in LPS-induced cholestasis by aquaporin-1 gene transfer
(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2019-10)
Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2), a hepatocyte canalicular transporter involved in bile secretion, is downregulated in cholestasis triggered by lipopolysaccharide. The human aquaporin-1 (hAQP1) ...
Improved expression of green fluorescent protein in cattle embryos produced by ICSI-mediated gene transfer with spermatozoa treated with streptolysin-O
(Elsevier Science, 2018-09)
The ICSI-sperm mediated gene transfer (ICSI-SMGT) has been used to produce transgenic mice with high efficiency; however, the efficiency of this technique in farm animals is still less than desirable. Pretreatment of sperm ...
Type VI secretion system in pathogenic escherichia coli: structure, role in virulence, and acquisition
(Frontiers Media, 2019-08)
Bacterial pathogens utilize a myriad of mechanisms to invade mammalian hosts, damage tissue sites, and evade the immune system. One essential strategy of Gram-negative bacteria is the secretion of virulence factors through ...
The lichen symbiosis re-viewed through the genomes of Cladonia grayi and its algal partner Asterochloris glomerata
(BioMed Central, 2019-07)
Background: Lichens, encompassing 20,000 known species, are symbioses between specialized fungi (mycobionts), mostly ascomycetes, and unicellular green algae or cyanobacteria (photobionts). Here we describe the first ...
