Cloning, characterization, and transformation of the phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase gene (ZmPEAMT1) in maize (Zea mays L.).

Only registered users can translate articles

N-methylation of phosphoethanolamine, the committing step in choline (Cho) biosynthesis in plants, is catalyzed by S-adenosyl-L-methionine: phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEAMT, EC 2.1.1.103). Herein we report the cloning and characterization of the novel maize phosphoethanolamine

Maize EMBRYO SAC family peptides interact differentially with pollen tubes and fungal cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

EMBRYO SAC1-4 (ES1-4) peptides belong to the defensin subgroup of cysteine-rich peptides known to mediate pollen tube burst in Zea mays (maize). ES1-4 are reported here to also be capable of inhibiting germination and growth of the maize fungal pathogens Fusarium graminearum and Ustilago maydis at

Inhibin-like activity in plasma from ovariectomized ewes and serum albumin: pitfalls for radioimmunoassay.

Only registered users can translate articles

Progress to understand mechanisms that regulate inhibin secretion and action in farm animals has been handicapped by the shortage of simple, accurate assay methods to quantify inhibin in circulation. RIA would seem to provide the needed quantitative capability, but results of the following studies

A cDNA encoding an ADP/ATP carrier from the mosquito Anopheles gambiae.

Only registered users can translate articles

Two cDNAs are described from Anopheles gambiae that correspond to the ADP/ATP carrier or translocase. The clones are identical except for minor differences in the 5' non-coding region and in the lengths of the poly-A tails. They code for mRNAs of 1261 and 1263 bp and contain one open reading frame

Selective Knockdowns in Maize by Sequence-Specific Protein Aggregation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Protein aggregation is determined by 5-15 amino acids peptides of the target protein sequence, so-called aggregation-prone regions (APRs) that specifically self-associate to form β-structured inclusions. The presence of APRs in a target protein can be predicted by a dedicated algorithm, such as

A protective role for the embryo surrounding region of the maize endosperm, as evidenced by the characterisation of ZmESR-6, a defensin gene specifically expressed in this region.

Only registered users can translate articles

A Zea mays cDNA clone, ZmESR-6, was isolated as a gene specifically expressed at the basal region of immature kernels. ZmESR-6 cDNA encoded for a small (11.1 kDa) protein homologous to plant defensins. As for other defensins, the protein contained an N-terminal signal peptide signature and a

Cloning, expression, and nutritional regulation of the mammalian Delta-6 desaturase.

Arachidonic acid (20:4(n-6)) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6(n-3)) have a variety of physiological functions that include being the major component of membrane phospholipid in brain and retina, substrates for eicosanoid production, and regulators of nuclear transcription factors. The rate-limiting
