Characterization of the BETA1 gene, which might play a role in Beta vulgaris subsp. Maritima salt tolerance
(TÜBİTAK, 2017)
Salinity stress has a negative impact on plant growth, which affects homeostasis and productivity. The uptake of nonessential salt ions changes the osmotic balance of the cell and causes dehydration. Higher plants develop ...
Characterization of two genes encoding metal tolerance proteins from Beta vulgaris subspecies maritima that confers manganese tolerance in yeast
(Springer, 2013)
Manganese (Mn2+) is an essential micronutrient in plants. However increased Mn2+ levels are toxic to plant cells. Metal tolerance proteins (MTPs), member of cation diffusion facilitator protein (CDF) family, have important ...
Evidence for a stabilizer element in the untranslated regions of Drosophila glutathione S-transferase D1 mRNA
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002-09)
The neighboring genes gstD1 and gstD21 share 70% sequence identity, gstD1 encodes a 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(P-chlorophenyl)ethane dehydrochlorinase; gstD21, a ligandin. Both of their mRNAs are inducible by pentobarbital ...
Evidence for the presence of a second electron donor for the cytoplasmic thioredoxins in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(TÜBİTAK, 2006)
In yeast, the cytoplasmic thioredoxin system is composed of NADPH, thioredoxin reductase-1 (TRR1) and 2 thioredoxin genes (TRX1, TRX2). In this study, using yeast knockout mutants for TRR1, TRX1 and TRX2 genes, the role ...
Checkpoint deficient rad53-11 yeast cannot accumulate dNTPs in response to DNA damage
(Elsevier, 2007-02)
Deoxyribonucleotide pools are maintained at levels that support efficient and yet accurate DNA replication and repair. Rad53 is part of a protein kinase regulatory cascade that, conceptually, promotes dNTP accumulation in ...
Identification of a novel system for boron transport: Atr1 is a main boron exporter in yeast
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-07)
Boron is a micronutrient in plants and animals, but its specific roles in cellular processes are not known. To understand boron transport and functions, we screened a yeast genomic DNA library for genes that confer resistance ...
tRNA wobble base modifications and boric acid resistance in yeast: Boron-resistant deletion mutants induce the general amino acid control mechanism and activate boron efflux
(Springer, 2020-05)
Boric acid is essential for plants and has many vital roles in animals and microorganisms. However, its high doses are toxic to all organisms. We previously screened yeast deletion collections to identify boric acid-resistant ...
Identification of respiratory chain gene mutations that shorten replicative life span in yeast
(Elsevier, 2012-02)
Aging is the progressive accumulation of alterations in cells that elevates the risk of death. The mitochondrial theory of aging postulates that free radicals produced by the mitochondrial respiratory system contribute to ...
Compartmentalization and regulation of mitochondrial function by methionine sulfoxide reductases in yeast
(American Chemical Society, 2010-10)
Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species can damage proteins. Sulfur-containing amino acid residues, cysteine and methionine, are particularly susceptible to such damage. Various enzymes evolved to protect proteins or ...
Characterization of a cDNA from Beta maritima that confers nickel tolerance in yeast
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
Nickel is an essential micronutrient due to its involvement in many enzymatic reactions as a cofactor. However, excess of this element is toxic to biological systems. Here, we constructed a cDNA library from Beta maritima ...
