Two key transcription factors (TFs) in brassinosteroid (BR) signaling BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR 1 (BES1) and BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT 1 (BZR1), belong to a small family with four BES1/BZR1 homologs (BEH1–4). To date, in contrast to the wealth of knowledge regarding BES1 and BZR1, little is known about BEH1–4. Here, we show that BEH...

Cannabinoids are synthesized in glandular stalked trichomes on the female flowers of Cannabis sativa (cannabis). The regulation of glandular trichome development has not been characterized in cannabis. We recently identified an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, CsMIXTA, which could be involved in trichome morphogenesis in cannabis. Some homologous gen...

Bakterijski mikrorazdelki so primitivni proteinski organeli, ki jih sintetizira okrog 20 % bakterijskih vrst, katerih zaporedje genoma je določeno. Njihova glavna naloga je izboljševanje učinkovitosti posameznih metabolnih reakcij ali preprečitev akumulacije toksičnih metabolitov v citoplazmi. V osnovi jih delimo na tiste, ki sodelujejo v anabolizm...

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a crop that has great potential for increased cultivation in diverse climate regions. The seed protein quality obtained from this crop is high concerning the requirements to meet human nutritional needs, but the seed protein content is relatively low if compared to crops such as grain legumes. Increased seed pr...

Persistent infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) can aggravate the state of immune tolerance, inhibit the function of immune cells, and even lead to immune cell exhaustion in the liver microenvironment. The dysfunction of immune cells causes HBV to escape immune surveillance and eradication. Increasing evidence has revealed the molecular and c...

Pesticide resistance and resurgence are serious problems often occurring simultaneously in the field. In our long-term study of a fenpropathrin-resistant strain of Tetranychus cinnabaribus, enhancement of detoxification and modified fecundity mechanisms were both observed. Here we investigate the network across these two mechanisms and find a key n...

During cell division, drastic cellular changes characteristic of mitosis result in the inactivation of the transcriptional machinery, and global downregulation of transcription. Sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) have thus been considered mere bystanders, devoid of any regulatory function during mitosis. This view changed significantly i...

Apolipoprotein M (apoM), an apolipoprotein predominantly associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL), is considered a mediator of the numerous roles of HDL, including reverse cholesterol transport, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, and mediates pre-β-HDL formation. ApoM expression is known to be regulated by a variety of ...

Cellular senescence is protective against external oncogenic stress, but its accumulation causes aging-related diseases. Forkhead box O4 (FOXO4) and p53 are human transcription factors known to promote senescence by interacting with each other and activating p21 transcription. Inhibition of the interaction is a strategy for inducing apoptosis of se...

Dehydration-responsive element-binding proteins (DREBs) belong to members of the AP2/ERF transcription factor superfamily, which has been reported to involve various abiotic-stress responses and tolerance in plants. However, research on the DREB -family is still limited in alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.), a forage legume cultivated worldwide. The rec...
