Published: October 2007

We previously reported that inhibition of SVH-B, a specific splicing variant of SVH, results in apoptotic cell death. In this study, we reveal that this apoptosis may be dependent on the presence of p53. Co-immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down assays have demonstrated that SVH-B directly interacts with p53. In both BEL-7404 cells and p53-null Saos-2 cells transfected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of p53, V143A, ectopically expressed SVH-B suppresses the transcriptional activity of p53, and suppression of SVH by RNA interference increases the transcriptional activity of p53. Our results suggested the function of SVH-B in accelerating growth and inhibition of apoptosis is related to its inhibitory binding to p53.

Background: The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana has been widely used for pest biocontrol with conidia serving as the main active agents. Conidial yield and quality are two important characteristics in fungal conidia development, however, the regulatory mechanisms that orchestrate conidial formation and development are not well understood.

Results: In this study, we identified a ZnCys transcription factor BbCDR1 that inhibits conidial production while promoting conidial maturation.

In the coevolutionary process between plant pathogens and hosts, pathogen effectors, primarily proteinaceous, engage in interactions with host proteins, such as plant transcription factors (TFs), during the infection process. This review delves into the intricate interplay between TFs and effectors, a key aspect in the prolonged and complex battle between plants and pathogens. Effectors strategically manipulate TFs using diverse tactics.

Enhanced Transcriptional Activation in Developing Mouse Photoreceptors.

Purpose: Retinal development in the mouse continues past birth and provides a widely used model system in which photoreceptor formation can be observed and manipulated. This experimental paradigm provides opportunities for both gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies, which can be accomplished through in vivo or ex vivo plasmid delivery and electroporation. However, the cis-regulatory elements used to implement this approach have not been fully evaluated or optimized for the unique transcriptional environment of photoreceptors.

Plants, algae and photosynthetic bacteria convert light into chemical energy by means of photosynthesis, thus providing food and energy for most organisms on Earth. Photosynthetic pigments, including chlorophylls (Chls) and carotenoids, are essential components that absorb the light energy necessary to drive electron transport in photosynthesis. The biosynthesis of Chl shares several steps in common with the biosynthesis of other tetrapyrroles, including siroheme, heme and phycobilins.
