Distinctive from that of the animal system, the basic plan of the plant body is the continuous
formation of a structural unit, composed of a stem with a meristem at the top and lateral …

Ubiquitination, a modification in which single or multiple ubiquitin molecules are attached to
a protein, serves as a signalling function that controls a wide variety of cellular processes. …

Translocated in liposarcoma (TLS) is an important protein component of the heterogeneous
nuclear ribonucleoprotein complex involved in the splicing of pre-mRNA and the export of …

The XPA (xeroderma pigmentosum group A) gene encodes a protein of 273 amino acids
with a zinc finger motif. The human XPA cDNA was placed in an Escherichia coli expression …

The XPA (xeroderma pigmentosum group A) protein is a zinc metalloprotein consisting of
273 amino acids which binds preferentially to UV- or chemical carcinogen-damaged DNA, …

For high‐throughput protein structural analysis, it is indispensable to develop a reliable
protein overexpression system. Although many protein overexpression systems, such as that …

The oxygen-evolving machinery of photosystem II in cyanobacteria is associated with three
extrinsic proteins: the manganese-stabilizing protein, cytochrome c 550 , and PsbU. To …

An RNA oligomer, r(GGACGAGUCC), which mimics the metal ion-binding motif of
hammerhead ribozymes, was shown to fold by itself into a conformation possessing a metal ion …

All organisms require metal ions to complete their life cycle. Excess or shortage of essential
metal ions is toxic to plants. Also, some heavy metals are toxic at all concentrations and …

Background: The XPA (xeroderma pigmentosum group A) protein specifically recognizes
the UV‐ or chemically damaged DNA lesions, and triggers the nucleotide excision repair …
