Authors: Y. Diao, G.L. Li, A.Q. Yu, X.W. Zheng, K.Q. Xie, Y.W. Wang, M.Q. Zhou, J. Ming and Z.L. Hu
Protein ubiquitination is extensively involved in the regulation of a considerable number of physiological processes in plant cells. E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, UBC), one of the essential enzymes of eukaryotic ubiquitination, catalyzes protein ubiquitination together with E1 and E3. In this study, we cloned four full-length cDNANnUBCs of Nelumbo nuc.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the CPP-like gene family in soybean
Authors: L. Zhang, H.K. Zhao, Y.M. Wang, C.P. Yuan, Y.Y. Zhang, H.Y. Li, X.F. Yan, Q.Y. Li and Y.S. Dong
Cysteine-rich polycomb-like protein (CPP-like) genes are a group of transcription factors with highly conserved cysteine-rich domains and are widely distributed in animals and plants, but do not present in yeast. Previous studies have shown that members of this family play important roles in the development of reproductive tissue and in the control of cel.. Read More»

Association between B7-H1 expression and bladder cancer: a meta-analysis
Authors: Y.U. Wang, A.N.G. Liu and S.H.A.N. Zhao
B7 homolog 1 (B7-H1), which is also known as programmed death-L1, is an important member of the B7/CD28 costimulatory factor superfamily, which are emerging as important mediators of various host immune responses. B7-H1 is differentially expressed in various cell subsets and to different extents in human and murine cells. Human B7-H1 is constitutively exp.. Read More»

Effect of heat stress on heat-shock protein (Hsp60) mRNA expression in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss
Authors: H.N. Shi, Z. Liu, J.P. Zhang, Y.J. Kang, J.F. Wang, J.Q. Huang and W.M. Wang
The enhanced expression of heat shock proteins (hsps) in organisms can be detected in response to many kinds of stressor. For fish, high temperature is an important stressor, and hsp expression is associated with differences in environmental temperature. In this study, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) that were accustomed to an aquatic temperature of 1.. Read More»

Developmental changes in the expression of the GLUT2 and GLUT4 genes in the longissimus dorsi muscle of Yorkshire and Tibetan pigs
Authors: Y. Liang, X.M. Yang, Y.R. Gu, X. Tao, Z.Z. Zhong, J.J. Gong, X.H. Chen and X.B. Lv
Glucose transporter proteins 2 and 4 (GLUT2 and GLUT4) play important roles in glucose transport and energy metabolism. Changes in the levels of GLUT2 and GLUT4 mRNA were measured in longissimus dorsi muscle from the lean Yorkshire and fat Tibetan pig breeds at six different time points (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months) with quantitative real-time polymerase ..

Construction and expression of a heterologous protein in Lactococcus lactis by using the nisin-controlled gene expression system: the case of the PRRSV ORF6 gene
Authors: Z.H. Wang, Y.L. Wang and X.Y. Zeng
The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) continues to be a threat, exerting significant economic effects on the swine industry worldwide. However, none of the current commercially available vaccines can completely prevent respiratory infection, trans-placental transmission, pig-to-pig transmission of the.. Read More»

Giant panda ribosomal protein S14: cDNA, genomic sequence cloning, sequence analysis, and overexpression
Authors: G.-F. Wu, Y.-L. Hou, W.-R. Hou, Y. Song and T. Zhang
RPS14 is a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit encoded by the RPS14 gene and is required for its maturation. The cDNA and the genomic sequence of RPS14 were cloned successfully from the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) using RT-PCR technology and touchdown-PCR, respectively; they were both sequenced and analyzed. The le.. Read More»

Up-regulation of Id1 in peripheral blood of psoriatic patients
Authors: C. Ronpirin, M. Achariyakul, T. Tencomnao, J. Wongpiyabovorn and W. Chaicumpa
Although the precise causes of psoriasis are unclear, it is widely accepted that psoriasis is a disorder in which factors in the immune system, enzymes, and other biochemical substances that regulate skin cell division are impaired, leading to rapid proliferation of keratinocytes and incomplete keratinization. Expression of th.. Read More»

Characterization of chloroplast region rrn16-rrn23S from the tropical timber tree Cedrela odorata L. and de novo construction of a transplastomic expression vector suitable for Meliaceae trees and other economically important crops
Authors: L.A. LÃ?³pez-Ochoa, M.M. Apolinar-HernÃ?¡ndez and Y.J. PeÃ?±a-RamÃ?Ârez
The forest tree Spanish cedar (Cedrela odorata L.) is well-known for its high-value timber; however, this species is attacked by the shoot borer (Hypsipyla grandella) during its early years of development, resulting in branched stems and making the plants useless for high-quality wood production. The generation of resistant varieties expressing entomotoxi.. Read More»
