Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa
(Guizhou Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biotechnology, 2020)This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi. i.e. dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi. These are Aphelidiomycota, Ascomycota, ... -
Partitioning beta-diversity reveals that invasions and extinctions promote the biotic homogenization of Chilean freshwater fish fauna
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Aim Exotic species' introductions together with extinction of native species represent the main mechanisms driving biotic homogenization of freshwater fish assemblages around the world. While generally ichtyofaunistic ... -
Phylogenomic analysis of the Porphyromonas gingivalis-Porphyromonas gulae duo: approaches to the origin of periodontitis
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2023-07-19)Porphyromonas gingivalis is an oral human pathogen associated with the onset and progression of periodontitis, a chronic immune-inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of the teeth-supporting tissue. P. ... -
Pleione: A tool for statistical and multi-objective calibration of Rule-based models
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)Mathematical models based on Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) are frequently used to describe and simulate biological systems. Nevertheless, such models are often difficult to understand. Unlike ODE models, Rule-Based ... -
RIP-MD: a tool to study residue interaction networks in protein molecular dynamics
(PEERJ INC, 2018)Protein structure is not static; residues undergo conformational rearrangements and, in doing so, create, stabilize or break non-covalent interactions. Molecular dynamics (MD) is a technique used to simulate these movements ... -
Rule-Based Models and Applications in Biology
(Humana Press, 2018-11-13)Complex systems are governed by dynamic processes whose underlying causal rules are difficult to unravel. However, chemical reactions, molecular interactions, and many other complex systems can be usually represented as ... -
Signal peptide recognition in Trypanosoma cruzi GP82 adhesin relies on its localization at protein N-terminus
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, has a dense coat of GPI-anchored virulence factors. T. cruzi GPI-anchored adhesin GP82 is encoded by a repertoire of transcripts containing several in-frame initiation ... -
SinEx DB 2.0 update 2020: database for eukaryotic single-exon coding sequences
(Oxford University Press, 2021-01-28)Single-exon coding sequences (CDSs), also known as 'single-exon genes' (SEGs), are defined as nuclear, protein-coding genes that lack introns in their CDSs. They have been studied not only to determine their origin and ... -
Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) Mining and Their Effect on the Tridimensional Protein Structure Prediction in a Set of Immunity-Related Expressed Sequence Tags (EST) in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-02-27)Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are single genetic code variations considered one of the most common forms of nucleotide modifications. Such SNPs can be located in genes associated to immune response and, therefore, ... -
SMZ/SNZ and gibberellin signaling are required for nitrate-elicited delay of flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018)The reproductive success of plants largely depends on the correct programming of developmental phase transitions, particularly the shift from vegetative to reproductive growth. The timing of this transition is finely ... -
TGA class II transcription factors are essential to restrict oxidative stress in response to UV-B stress in Arabidopsis
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-02-27)Plants possess a robust metabolic network for sensing and controlling reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels upon stress conditions. Evidence shown here supports a role for TGA class II transcription factors as critical ... -
The Microbial Composition in Circumneutral Thermal Springs from Chignahuapan, Puebla, Mexico Reveals the Presence of Particular Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacterial and Viral Communities
(MDPI AG, 2020-11)Terrestrial thermal springs are widely distributed globally, and these springs harbor a broad diversity of organisms of biotechnological interest. In Mexico, few studies exploring this kind of environment have been described. ... -
The protein architecture in Bacteria and Archaea identifies a set of promiscuous and ancient domains
(Public Library of Science, 2019-12-19)In this work, we describe a systematic comparative genomic analysis of promiscuous domains in genomes of Bacteria and Archaea. A quantitative measure of domain promiscuity, the weighted domain architecture score (WDAS), ... -
Thinning alters the expression of the PpeSUT1 and PpeSUT4 sugar transporter genes and the accumulation of translocated sugars in the fruits of an early season peach variety
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2019)Thinning is an agronomic practice that consists in the removal of a certain number of fruits, thereby altering the source-sink equilibrium in the tree and favoring carbon allocation to the remaining fruits. If thinning is ... -
Tracing the phylogenetic history of the Crl regulon through the Bacteria and Archaea genomes
(BMC, 2019)Background: Crl, identified for curli production, is a small transcription factor that stimulates the association of the sigma(S) factor (RpoS) with the RNA polymerase core through direct and specific interactions, increasing ... -
Transcriptional profiling of embryos lacking the lipoprotein receptor SR-B1 reveals a regulatory circuit governing a neurodevelopmental or metabolic decision during neural tube closure
(BMC, 2018)Background: The high-density lipoprotein receptor SR-B1 mediates cellular uptake of several lipid species, including cholesterol and vitamin E. During early mouse development, SR-B1 is located in the maternal-fetal interface, ... -
Transcriptomic analysis at organ and time scale reveals gene regulatory networks controlling the sulfate starvation response ofSolanum lycopersicum
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Background Sulfur is a major component of biological molecules and thus an essential element for plants. Deficiency of sulfate, the main source of sulfur in soils, negatively influences plant growth and crop yield. The ... -
Transient genome-wide interactions of the master transcription factor NLP7 initiate a rapid nitrogen-response cascade
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-03-02)Dynamic reprogramming of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) enables organisms to rapidly respond to environmental perturbation. However, the underlying transient interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and genome-wide ... -
Uncovering the Mechanisms of Halotolerance in the Extremely Acidophilic Members of the Acidihalobacter Genus Through Comparative Genome Analysis
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019)There are few naturally occurring environments where both acid and salinity stress exist together, consequently, there has been little evolutionary pressure for microorganisms to develop systems that enable them to deal ... -
