Abscisic acid (ABA) is a ubiquitous hormone that regulates plant growth, development and responses to environmental stresses. In recent researches, pyrabactin resistance 1-like protein (PYL) and protein phosphatase type 2C (PP2C) were identified as the direct receptor and the second component of ABA signaling pathway, respectively. However, a lot of PYL and PP2C members were found in Arabidopsis and...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in the process of aging in many model organisms, such as Caenorhabditis elegans, and in many organs, such as the mouse lung and human epididymis. However, the role of miRNAs in the thymus tissues of the aging mouse remains unclear. To address this question, we investigated the miRNA expression profiles in the thymuses of 1-, 10- and 19-month-old mice using miRNA...
Our recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified 105 genome-wide significant SNPs for milk production traits. Of these, one SNP (rs109661298) for milk fat percentage is located within the first intron of the bovine EEF1D gene on BTA14, thus that the EEF1D gene was considered as a novel candidate in dairy cattle. Until now, however, its genomic organization remains undetermined yet and...
Xanthoceras sorbifolia is an excellent model system for studying triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis in woody oilseed plants due to the high amount of seed oil, which is important for food and industrial uses. TAG is the major form of stored lipids in seeds and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT; EC 2. 3. 1. 20) catalyzes the final and critical step of TAG synthesis. Here, two novel DGAT genes, designated...
Studies focusing on the association of gene methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) are limited.In this study, we explored the effects of rs10118757 in MTAP gene on CAD and MI by performing association analysis in a Chinese Han population. rs10118757 was genotyped in 1007 CAD patients (including 338 MI patients) and 885...
Invasive fungal infection (IFI) is a life-threatening infection occurring most often in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and few data has been reported in SLE patients particularly in China. This present study was aimed to determine IFI prevalence, associated risk factors and patterns of infection in Chinese SLE patients. A retrospective study was conducted in a single institute of...
The present study reports the cloning and sequencing of lac2 from Bacillus subtilis. The gene is composed of 1542bp and encodes a 514-amino acid protein. The gene has 86% homology with a published laccase with GeneID 936023. The lac2 gene was deposited in GenBank as a new nucleotide sequence. This new sequence was cloned into the multiple cloning site of pPIC9K to generate pPIC9K-lac2, which was then...
