All functional RNAs contain post-transcriptionally modified nucleotides. 2'-O-ribose methylation and pseudouridylation are the two major types of modifications, which occur by box C/D and box H/ACA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes, ...
The role of insulin pathways in olfaction are of significant interest with the widespread pathology of Diabetes mellitus and its associated metabolic and neuronal co-morbidities. Previous experiments have been conducted examining insulin...
Plant cytogenetics has continued to flourish and make essential contributions to genomics projects by delineating marker order, defining contig gaps, and revealing genome rearrangements. Here we review the field of plant cytogenetics...
A central question of evolutionary biology concerns the study of evolvability. A growing body of theory implicates the pattern of genetic effect interactions underlying a trait, referred to as the genetic architecture of a trait, as an...
Electrospray Ionization Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Biological Molecules: Oligoribonucleotide and Membrane Proteins
Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry, with ultrahigh resolving power and ultrahigh mass accuracy, has been involved in many fields, in particular, environmental studies and biological sciences since its...
Guard cells in the leaf epidermis regulate transpiration rate (E) and carbon dioxide uptake by adjusting stomatal aperture size. Sucrose (suc) is a recent product of photosynthesis that accumulates around guard cells during transpiration...
Replicative DNA polymerases require a ssDNA template, yet polymerases themselves lack dsDNA unwinding activity (Kawasaki and Sugino, 2001). Enter the helicase, a motor protein that uses NTP-dependent conformational changes to unwind...
ABA Contents in the Guard-Cell Symplast and Guard-Cell Apoplast Are Not Correlated with Stomatal Aperture Size under Three Conditions of Water Sufficiency
Guard cells respond to environmental stimuli by opening and closing stomata, which balance CO2 uptake and water conservation. Stomatal closure under water deficiency and the involvement of abscisic acid (ABA) in this response are well...
Complex organelles, such as cilia and flagella, play an integral part in how a cell interacts with the environment. The model system Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a biflagellate alga that uses its flagella for swimming and sensing the...
DNA replication, the duplication of genetic and epigenetic information, is the basis of biological inheritance. In all eukaryotes, DNA replication follows a tightly regulated replication-timing program, which dynamically changes during...
Many of the genes that regulate eye and retinal development have been identified based upon mutant analysis in animal models or human diseases. Taking advantage of the mosaic organization of the photoreceptor in zebrafish our laboratory...
