CETP expression enhances liver HDL-cholesteryl ester uptake but does not alter VLDL and biliary lipid secretion
(Elsevier Ireland LtdClareIrlanda, 2007)
A comparative genomic analysis of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis strains reveal hallmarks of mobile genetic elements in the adaptation and accelerated evolution of virulence
(2021-07-01)
Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis (Xaj) is the most significant aboveground walnut bacterial pathogen. Disease management uses copper-based pesticides which induce pathogen resistance. We examined the genetic repertoire ...
Genetic variation in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (−493G/T) is associated with hepatic steatosis in patients infected with hepatitis C virus
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Abstract
Background
In chronic hepatitis C, the fibrosis progression rates are extremely variable and can be influenced by factors associated with the host, virus and ...
A Novel Sterol Desaturase-Like Protein Promoting Dealkylation of Phytosterols in Tetrahymena thermophila
(American Society For Microbiology, 2011-01)
The gene TTHERM_00438800 (DES24) from the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila encodes a protein with three conserved histidine clusters, typical of the fatty acid hydroxylase superfamily. Despite its high similarity to sterol ...
Study of nsLTPs in Lotus japonicus genome reveal a specific epidermal cell member (LjLTP10) regulated by drought stress in aerial organs with a putative role in cutin formation
(SPRINGER, VAN GODEWIJCKSTRAAT 30, 3311 GZ DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS, 2013)
The I405V and Taq1B polymorphisms of the CETP gene differentially affect sub-clinical carotid atherosclerosis
(BioMed Central, 2012)
Background: Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) plays a major role in lipid metabolism, but studies on the association of CETP polymorphisms with risks of cardiovascular disease are inconsistent. This study investigated ...
Selective pressure against horizontally acquired prokaryotic genes as a driving force of plastid evolution
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-01)
The plastid organelle comprises a high proportion of nucleus-encoded proteins that were acquired from different prokaryotic donors via independent horizontal gene transfers following its primary endosymbiotic origin. What ...
Different patterns of evolution for duplicated DNA repair genes in bacteria of the Xanthomonadales group
(2004-08-27)
Abstract
Background
DNA repair genes encode proteins that protect organisms against genetic damage generated by environmental agents and by-products of cell metabolism. The ...
