Abstract: The testis specific protein Y-encoded (TSPY) is a member of TSPY/SET/NAP1 superfamily, encoded within the gonadoblastoma locus on the Ychromosome. TSPY shares a highly conserved SET/NAP-domain responsible for protein–protein interaction among TSPY/SET/NAP1 proteins. Accumulating data, so far, suppor...
Abstract: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play an important role in vascular complications of diabetes, including fibrinolytic abnormalities. Pioglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist, has recently been shown to reduce circulating plasminogen activator inhibitor-1...
Abstract: Coevolution can be seen as the interdependency between evolutionary histories. In the context of protein evolution, functional correlation proteins are ever-present coordinated evolutionary characters without disruption of organismal integrity. As to complex system, there are two forms of protein–pr...
Abstract: Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases. Using map-based strategy and in silico approach we isolated a new rice (Oryza sativa L.) blast resistance allele of Pid3, designated Pi25, from a stable blast resistance cultivar Gumei2. Over-expression analysis and c...
Abstract: Panicle architecture is closely related to yield formation. The qPE9-1 gene has been proved to be widely used in high-yield rice cultivar developments, conferring erect panicle character in japonica rice. Recently, qPE9-1 has been successfully cloned; however, the genetic effect on grain yield per p...
