Phosphatidylserine activates the BDNF-mediated signaling pathway. by Sivan Yannai (3594626)

Mcl-1 degradation is slowed by a T163E mutation (but not T163A) in transfected CHO cells. by Shanna K. Nifoussi (128297)

“…In Panel B, the decline in Mcl-1 expression at 3 hours in 2 independent experiments ranged from 53–66% with WT-Mcl-1, 25–54% with Mcl-1-S162A, and 25–50% with Mcl-1-T163A. While the decline in expression with WT-Mcl-1 appeared be slightly greater than that seen with Mcl-1-T163A, this was not a consistent finding. …”

DRP2B is partially required for flg22-induced endocytosis of FLS2. by John M. Smith (676719)

“…Representative maximum-intensity projection images and zoomed insets of FLS2-GFP fluorescence are shown, with bright pixels corresponding to increased abundance of FLS2-GFP at a given location. Scale bars = 10 µm. (D) Quantification of FLS2-GFP in puncta at 0, 35–45 or 50–60 min after elicitation with 1 µM flg22 indicates that loss of <i>DRP2B</i> resulted in ∼20% decrease in flg22-stimulated endocytosis of FLS2-GFP (35–45 min, P = 0.0204; 50–60 min, P = 0.0396). …”

Vacuolar-Iron-Transporter1-Like Proteins Mediate Iron Homeostasis in Arabidopsis by Julia Gollhofer (652756)

“…When expressed under the 35S promoter in the <i>nramp3/nramp4</i> or <i>vit1-1</i> backgrounds, <i>AtVTL1</i>, <i>AtVTL2</i> or <i>AtVTL5</i> restored root growth in both mutants. The seed Fe concentration in the <i>nramp3/nramp4</i> mutant overexpressing <i>AtVTL1</i>, <i>AtVTL2</i> or <i>AtVTL5</i> was between 50 and 60% higher than in non-transformed double mutants or wild-type plants. …”
