- Abstract:
- ... Eimeria tenella is an obligate intracellular parasite of the chicken cecum; it brings huge economic loss to the chicken industry. Enolase is a multifunctional glycolytic enzyme involved in many processes of parasites, such as infection and migration. In this study, the effect of diclazuril on the expression of enolase in second-generation merozoites of E. tenella (EtENO) was reported. The prokaryo ...

- Abstract:
- ... Growth hormone (GH) participates in many physiological processes through the activation of its membrane-anchored receptor (GHR) in vertebrates. Because of its pivotal role in regulating growth and development, a large number of studies examining GH-GHR have been conducted in mammals, birds and fish. However, whether a functional GH-GHR pair exists in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle (st-) has not b ...

- Abstract:
- ... One integral step in the transition from a nucleic acid encoded-genome to functional proteins is the aminoacylation of tRNA molecules. To perform this activity, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) activate free amino acids in the cell forming an aminoacyl-adenylate before transferring the amino acid on to its cognate tRNA. These newly formed aminoacyl-tRNA (aa-tRNA) can then be used by the ribosome ...

Scopolamine has a larger demand than hyoscyamine due to its stronger pharmacological effects and fewer side reactions. It is extracted from solanaceous plants. However, the content of scopolamine is lower than hyoscyamine in D. innoxia. Hyoscyamine 6β-hydroxylase (H6H, EC1.1 ...

Although they are frequently postulated to regulate cell growth following stress, few null phenotypes for TA systems have been reported. Here, we show that TA transcript levels can increase substantially in response to stress, but toxin is not liberated. We find that the growth ...
