Subtilase cytotoxin cleaves newly synthesized BiP and blocks antibody secretion in B lymphocytes.

4 Oct 2009 Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) use subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) to interfere with adaptive immunity. Its inhibition of immunoglobulin secretion is both rapid and profound. SubAB favors cleavage of the newly synthesized immunoglobulin heavy ... Read more...

Arsenic induces cell apoptosis in cultured osteoblasts through endoplasmic reticulum stress.

16 Aug 2009 Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass resulting from an imbalance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Therefore, decreased bone formation by osteoblasts may lead to the development of osteoporosis, and ... Read more...

CAP2 enhances germination of transgenic tobacco seeds at high temperature and promotes heat stress tolerance in yeast.

8 Aug 2009 We reported earlier that ectopic expression of CAP2, a single AP2 domain containing transcription activator from chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in tobacco improves growth and development, and tolerance to dehydration and salt stress, of the transgenic ... Read more...
