The surprising complexity of peroxisome biogenesis
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-09)
Peroxisomes are small organelles with a single boundary membrane. All of their matrix proteins are nuclear-encoded, synthesized on free ribosomes in the cytosol, and post-translationally transported into the organelle. ...
Dil and DiO: versatile fluorescent dyes for neuronal labelling and pathway tracing
(Elsevier, 1989)
The fluorescent carbocyanine dyes dil and diO have an extensive history of use in cell biology, but their use as neuronal tracers is relatively recent. We found in 1985 that these molecules were excellent retrograde and ...
Identification of spinal neurons in the embryonic and larval zebrafish
(Wiley-Liss, Inc., 1990-12-15)
Previous studies indicated that the developing fish spinal cord was a simple system containing a small number of distinguishable neuronal cell types (Eisen et al., Nature 320 :269–271, '86; Kuwada, Science, 233 :740–746, ...
Peroxisomal alanine : glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT1) is a photorespiratory enzyme with multiple substrates in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2001-03)
At least two glyoxylate aminotransferases are hypothesized to participate in the steps of photorespiration located in peroxisomes. Until recently, however, genes encoding these enzymes had not been identified. We describe ...
Characterization of a petunia acetyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of the floral volatile isoeugenol
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-01)
Effects of cholate on Photosystem II: Selective extraction of a 22 kDa polypeptide and modification of QB-site activity
(Elsevier, 1993-10-04)
A quinone-mediated two-electron gate is shared by Photosystem II (PS II) and the photosystem of purple bacteria. In the bacterial reaction center, electron transfer from the reduced primary quinone acceptor, Q-A, to the ...
Generation of Phenylpropanoid Pathway-Derived Volatiles in Transgenic Plants: Rose Alcohol Acetyltransferase Produces Phenylethyl Acetate and Benzyl Acetate in Petunia Flowers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2006-03)
Esters are important contributors to the aroma of numerous flowers and fruits. Acetate esters such as geranyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate and benzyl acetate are generated as a result of the action of alcohol acetyltransferases ...
Development of spinal neurons and tracts in the zebrafish embryo
(Wiley-Liss, Inc., 1990-12-15)
We have analyzed pathfinding by growth cones in the spinal cord of the early zebrafish embryo, because it is an extremely simple system. At 18–20 hours of development the spinal cord contains approximately 18 lateral and ...
Genetic analysis of root development
(Elsevier, 1993-02)
The development of roots represents a useful system to study many aspects of plant morphogenesis. Roots display a relatively simple growth pattern and possess radial symmetry in their cell layers. These features aid studies ...
A Myosin from a Higher Plant has Structural Similarities to Class V Myosins
(Elsevier, 1994-06-16)
In plant cells, myosin is believed to be the molecular motor responsible for actin-based motility processes such as cytoplasmic streaming and directed vesicle transport. In an effort to characterize plant myosin, a cDNA ...
