Interactive proteomics addresses the physical associations among proteins and establishes global, disease-, and pathway-specific protein interaction networks.The inherent chemical and structural diversity of proteins, their different expression levels, and their distinct subcellular localizations pose unique challenges for the exploration of these
Abscission is the final step of cell division, mediating the physical separation of the two daughter cells.A key player in this process is the microtubule-severing enzyme spastin that localizes at the midbody where its activity is crucial to cut microtubules and culminate the cytokinesis.Recently, we demonstrated that HIPK2, a multifunctional kinas
click here Spinosad, a neurotoxic insecticide, is widely used for crop protection.In order to elucidate the effects of spinosad on oxidative stress and genotoxicity in Sf9 cells, the levels of lipid peroxidation, the activity of antioxidative enzymes, and DNA damage were measured.The results showed that spinosad caused a time-dependent increase in
Abstract The siphonaxanthin-siphonein-Chl-a/b-protein (SCP) is the light-harvesting complex of the marine alga Codium fragile.Its structure resembles that of the major light-harvesting complexes of higher plants, LHC II, yet it features a reversed Chl a:Chl b ratio and it accommodates other variants of carotenoids.We have recorded the fluorescence
