Overexpression of the novel F-box protein Ymr258c confers resistance to methylmercury in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

29 Sep 2009 We searched a yeast genomic library for genes that conferred methylmercury resistance to yeast. Ymr258c was identified as a factor that conferred strong methylmercury resistance when overexpressed in budding yeast. Ymr258c is regarded as one of the ... Read more...

[Study of the effect of methylmercury and copper ions on primary photosynthesis processes in the green algae Chlamydomonas moevusii using the parameters of kinetic curves of the variable of chlorophyll fluorescence]

29 Jun 2009 The effect of methylmercury and copper ions on the kinetics of light induction and dark relaxation of the variable of chlorophyll a fluorescence has been studied on cultures of the microalgae Chlamydomonas moevusii. It was shown that the toxicants ... Read more...

Low level and sub-chronic exposure to methylmercury induces hypertension in rats: nitric oxide depletion and oxidative damage as possible mechanisms.

24 May 2009 Increased risk of hypertension after methylmercury (MeHg) exposure has been suggested. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well explored. In this paper, we have analyzed whether sub-chronic exposure to MeHg increases systolic blood pressure ... Read more...
