Genome-wide identification, classification, and expression analysis of sHSP genes in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp pekinensis)
Authors: P. Tao, W.L. Guo, B.Y. Li, W.H. Wang, Z.C. Yue, J.L. Lei and X.M. Zhong
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are essential for the plant’s normal development and stress responses, especially the heat stress response. The information regarding sHSP genes in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp pekinensis) is sparse, hence we performed a genome-wide analysis to identify sHSP genes in this species. .. Read More»

Serial analysis of gene expression in adenocarcinoma samples and normal colonic mucosa in a Chinese population
Authors: X.L. Zhang, F. Gao, W. Li, W.Z. Tang and S. Zhang
The goal of this study was to identify the differences in gene expression between adenocarcinoma samples and colonic normal mucosa of a Chinese population. Gene expression libraries of adenocarcinoma and normal colonic mucosa were generated by serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). Expression tags were obtained from sequencing results using the SAGE20.. Read More»

Molecular characterization, tissue expression profile and SNP analysis of porcine GLP2R
Authors: Y.L. Chai, H.M. Ma and J. Jiang
Glucagon-like peptide-2 receptor (GLP2R), a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family, plays an important role in intramuscular fat formation. Little is known, however, about porcine GLP2R. In the present study, GLP2R was cloned, and its expression in pig muscle characterized. By rapid amplification of cDNA ends, gene sequence was obtained from Shaz.. Read More»

Expression of the 2-dehydro-3-deoxyphosphooctonate aldolase (KdsA) gene in mulberry leaves (Morus alba L.) is down-regulated under high salt and drought stress
Authors: X.B. Yang, S.L. Wu, D.P. Zhu, H. Wu, T. Jiang, Y.H. Qian and F. Jiao
The oligosaccharide 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) is a key component of lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria, and is also part of the pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan (RG-II) of the plant cell wall. The enzyme KDO-8-phosphate synthase (KDO8Ps), encoded by the 2-dehydro-3-deoxyphosphooctonate aldolas.. Read More»

Molecular characterization, tissue distribution, and immune reaction expression of karyopherins in the domestic silkworm (Bombyx mori)
Authors: J. Li, L. Wang, C. Qian, C.F. Zhang, L.S. Dai, Q.N. Liu, G.Q. Wei, Y. Sun, D.R. Liu, B.J. Zhu and C.L. Liu
Karyopherins, including alpha and beta types, are transport proteins in the eukaryotic cell that carry cargoes across nuclear pore complexes into or out of the nucleus. In this study, full open reading frames of one beta and three alpha types of karyopherin were cloned from cDNA of the domestic silkworm (Bombyx mori). The one beta and three alpha types&rs..

Characterization and expression analysis of a cyclin B gene from black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon)
Authors: C. Zhao, M.J. Fu, F.L. Zhou, Q.B. Yang, S.G. Jiang and L.H. Qiu
The open reading frame of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) cyclin B (Pmcyclin B) was identified, based on cDNA sequence registered in GenBank (accession No. EF015590). The target sequence was 1206 bp, corresponding to 401 amino acids. Two conserved signature sequences of the cyclin B gene family were found in the Pmcyclin B deduced aa sequence. Tempor.. Read More»

Digital expression analysis of the genes associated with salinity resistance after overexpression of a stress-responsive small GTP-binding RabG protein in peanut
Authors: J.M. Sui, G. Li, G.X. Chen, M.Y. Yu, S.T. Ding, J.S. Wang and L.X. Qiao
The Rab protein family is the largest family of the small GTP-binding proteins. Among them, the RabG genes are known to be responsive to abiotic stresses, but the molecular mechanisms of the stress responses mediated by RabG genes in plants is poorly understood. To investigate the molecular mechanism of AhRabG gene in peanut, .. Read More»

Expression of metallothionein type 2 and 3 genes in Prosopis glandulosa leaves treated with copper
Authors: C. Michel-Lopez, O. Zapata-P�©rez, D. Gonz�¡lez-Mendoza,O. Grimaldo-Juarez, C. Cece�±a-Duran, O. Tzintzun-Camacho
For a better understanding of the strategies that are used by Prosopis glandulosa in heavy metal tolerance, the present study evaluated the gene expression of three metallothioneins (MTs; PgMt2-1, PgMt2, and PgMt3) in plants exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of copper. The PgMt2-1, PgMt2, and PgMt3 sequences were homologous.. Read More»

Characterization and bacterial-binding activity of a novel C-type lectin from the red-spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaara
Authors: Z.W. Zhang X.F. Shi M. Qu S.X. Ding
Because of their specific binding to carbohydrates, lectins play a crucial role in pathogen recognition and clearance in vertebrate animals. Previously, only two types of collectins had been isolated from bony fish: mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and galactose-binding lectin (GalBL). We sequenced a novel collectin (designated EALec1) from the red-spotted gro.. Read More»
