High quality RNA extraction from Maqui berry for its application in next-generation sequencing
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis) is a native Chilean species that produces berries that are exceptionally rich in anthocyanins and natural antioxidants. These natural compounds provide an array of health benefits for ...
Bioinformatic analyses of unique (orphan) core genes of the genus Acidithiobacillus: Functional inferences and use as molecular probes for genomic and metagenomic/transcriptomic interrogation
(Facultad de Ciencias, 2016)
Using phylogenomic and gene compositional analyses, five highly conserved gene families have been detected in the core genome of the phylogenetically coherent genus Acidithiobacillus of the class Acidithiobacillia. These ...
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 ...
Identification of functional signatures in the metabolism of the three cellular domains of life
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
In order to identify common and specific enzymatic activities associated with the metabolism of the three cellular domains of life, the conservation and variations between the enzyme contents of Bacteria, Archaea, and ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Identification and Unusual Properties of the Master Regulator FNR in the Extreme Acidophile Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019)
The ability to conserve energy in the presence or absence of oxygen provides a metabolic versatility that confers an advantage in natural ecosystems. The switch between alternative electron transport systems is controlled ...
Draft Genome Sequences of Five Enterococcus Species Isolated from the Gut of Patients with Suspected Clostridium Difficile Infection. Genome Announcement
(Facultad de Ciencias, 2017)
We present draft genome sequences of five Enterococcus species from patients suspected of Clostridium difficile infection. Genome completeness was confirmed by presence of bacterial orthologs (97%). Gene searches using ...
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 ...
