Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is the most prevalent viral pathogen infecting most cruciferous plants. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are around 22 nucleotides long non-protein-coding RNAs that play key regulatory roles in plants. Recent research findings show that miRNAs are involved in plant–virus interaction. However we know little about plant defense and viral offense system networks throughout microRNA regulation...
Skeletal muscle fiber type composition is one of the important factors influencing muscle growth and meat quality. As a member of the myogenic transcription factors, myogenin (MyoG) is required for embryonic myoblast differentiation, but the expression of MyoG continues in mature muscle tissue of adult animals, especially in oxidative metabolic muscle, which suggests that MyoG may play a more extended...
High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) are of considerable interest, because they play a crucial role in determining dough viscoelastic properties and end-use quality of wheat flour. In this paper, ChAy/Bx, a novel chimeric HMW-GS gene from Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides (AABB, 2n=4x=28) accession D129, was isolated and characterized. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis...
Two y-type high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) 1Ay12 ⁎ and 1Ay8 ⁎ from the two accessions PI560720 and PI345186 of cultivated einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum, AA, 2n=2x=14), were identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The mobility of 1Ay12 ⁎ and 1Ay8 ⁎ was similar to that of 1Dy12 and 1By8...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that can play important regulatory roles in many important biological processes. Although clustering patterns of miRNA clusters have been uncovered in animals, the origin and evolution of miRNA clusters in vertebrates are still poorly understood. Here, we performed comparative genomic analyses to construct 51 sets of orthologous miRNA clusters...
The effects of elevated adiponectin (ADN) plasma levels on food intake, body weight, and lipid deposition of wild-type mice through ADN gene transfer using hydrodynamic based-gene delivery (HD) were investigated. The administration of pTarget/ADN significantly increased the blood ADN levels on days 1, 3, and 7 as well as food intake and body weight. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction...
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...
chromokinesin is a developmentally down-regulated gene with specific expression in proliferating cells during embryonic chick development. It encodes a DNA-binding motor protein localized along the chromosome arm during mitosis, suggesting that the protein may be a component of the long-observed, yet poorly understood `ejection force' hypothesized to be involved in controlling the direction and speed...
