Genes involved in glucose repression and oxidative stress response in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Authors: K.G. Suslu, B. Palabiyik and G. Temizkan
We looked for changes in gene expression and novel genes that could be involved in the interaction between glucose repression and oxidative stress response in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, using a constitutive invertase mutant, ird11, which is resistant to glucose. BLAST analysis was made of the S. pombe genome.. Read More»

Associations between polymorphisms of the GFI1B gene and growth traits of indigenous Chinese goats.
Authors: H.F. Cai, Z. Chen and W.X. Luo
This study aimed to investigate polymorphisms of the eighth exon in the GFI1B gene among three indigenous Chinese goat breeds (QianBei Ma goats, GuiZhou white goats, and GuiZhou black goats). Furthermore, association analysis was conducted between these polymorphisms and growth traits. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR.. Read More»

Detection of polymorphisms of the mtDNA control region of Caretta caretta (Testudines: Cheloniidae) by PCR-SSCP
Authors: E.C. Reis R.M. Albano A.C.V. Bondioli L.S. Soares G. L�´bo-Hajdu
Marine turtles are increasingly being threatened worldwide by anthropogenic activities. Better understanding of their life cycle, behavior and population structure is imperative for the design of adequate conservation strategies. The mtDNA control region is a fast-evolving matrilineal marker that has been employed in the study.. Read More»

Chromosome number, microsporogenesis, microgametogenesis, and pollen viability in the Brazilian native grass Mesosetum chaseae (Poaceae)
Authors: L.A.C. Silva M.S. Pagliarini S.A. Santos N. Silva V.F. Souza
The genus Mesosetum is a primarily South American genus with 42 species. Mesosetum chaseae, regionally known as âÂ?Â?grama-do-cerradoâÂ?Â?, is abundant in the Pantanal Matogrossense (Brazil); it is a valuable resource for livestock and for environmental conservation. We collected specimens from the Nhecolandia sub-region of the Brazilian Pantanal, located .. Read More»

Comparative phylogenetic study of Stichotrichia (Alveolata: Ciliophora: Spirotrichea) based on 18S-rDNA sequences
Authors: T.S. Paiva B.N. Borges M.L. Harada I.D. Silva-Neto
Since molecular phylogenies of stichotrich ciliates started to be published, some remarkable contradictions to morphology- based classifications have been reported, such as the Convergent Evolution of Urostylids and Uroleptids (CEUU) hyphothesis, the Halteria paradox, the polyphyly of Oxytricha and of Stichotrichia. We hypothe.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of HC1: a novel human DNA repair gene
Authors: D.O. Lopes F.C. Falconi A.M. Goes Y. Canitrot J.S. Hoffmann C. Cazaux G.R. Franco A.M. Macedo S.D.J. Pena C.R. Machado
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) acts on a broad spectrum of large lesions, while base excision repair removes individual modified bases. Although both processes have been well studied in human cells, novel genes involved in these DNA repair pathways have been described. Using a heterologous complementation approach, we identi..

Genetic diversity of endangered Polyporus umbellatus from China assessed using a sequence-related amplified polymorphism technique
Authors: Y. Zhang Y. Kang Y. Qin Z. Zhou M. Lei H. Guo
Polyporus umbellatus (Pers.) Fries is an endangered medicinal fungus in China with in vivo anticancer activity, but its genetic information is lacking. Eight natural P. umbellatus strains collected from 7 provinces in China were subjected to sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers to estimate the level and pattern of genetic diversity. Forty-nine .. Read More»

Transcriptional co-activator PGC-1�± gene is associated with chicken skeletal muscle fiber types
Authors: J.T. Shu, W.J. Xu, M. Zhang, W.T. Song, Y.J. Shan, C. Song, W.Q. Zhu, X.Y. Zhang and H.F. Li
The peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is a candidate gene for meat quality traits because of its prominent role in muscle fiber type switching and determination. We investigated the effects of the PGC-1α gene on chicken skeletal muscle fiber type switching and on othe.. Read More»

Ascorbate peroxidase from Jatropha curcas enhances salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis
Authors: Y. Chen, J. Cai, F.X.Yang, B. Zhou and L.R. Zhou
Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) plays a central role in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle and is a key enzyme in cellular H2 O2 metabolism. It includes a family of isoenzymes with different characteristics, which are identified in many higher plants. In the present study, we isolated the APX gene from Jatropha curcas L, which is similar with other previously ch.. Read More»

Han Chinese patients with dopa-responsive dystonia exhibit a low frequency of exonic deletion in the GCH1 gene
Authors: W.T. Shi, C.Y. Cai, M.S. Li, C. Ling and W.D. Li
We identified three novel mutations of the GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1) gene in patients with familial dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD), but were unable to identify meaningful sporadic mutations in patients with no obvious family DRD background. To investigate whether GCH1 regional deletions account for the etiology of DRD, we screened for heterozygous exoni.. Read More»
