Shaofei Rao, Zhaoyang Zhou, Pei Miao, Guozhi Bi, Man Hu, Ying Wu, Feng Feng, Xiaojuan Zhang and Jian-Min Zhou Pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs), which consist of receptor kinases (RKs) and receptor ...
Hormones are chemical messengers that interact with receptors present on the surface of a cell membrane or with receptors that are located inside the cell, in the cytoplasm (cytoplasmic receptors).
Receptor such as protein kinases are proposed to work as sensors to initiate signaling cascades in higher plants. However, little is known about the precise functions of receptor such as protein ...
According to new research in the journal Immunity, T cells have a nuclear receptor doing something very odd - but very important - to help them fight pathogens and destroy cancer cells. This receptor, ...
Researchers have discovered that the opioid growth factor and its receptor, OGFr, a clinically important system with potent anti-tumor properties, has controlled entry from the cytoplasm to the ...
Two landmark studies provide unprecedented structural insight into how plant immune receptors are primed -- and then activated -- to provide plants with resistance against microbial pathogens.
All cell lines used in this study were purchased from ATCC. COS-1 cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. LNCaP and PC3 cells were maintained in RPMI1640 supplemented ...
LA JOLLA, CA—According to new research in the journal Immunity, T cells have a nuclear receptor doing something very odd—but very important—to help them fight pathogens and destroy cancer cells. This ...
Q.H. Shen et al., "Nuclear activity of MLA immune receptors links isolate-specific and basal disease–resistance responses," Science, 315:1098–1103, 2007. (Cited in 76 papers) After staining the nuclei ...
This project will investigate how residues located in the cytoplasmic domain of NMDA receptors influence this receptor's function. Approaches include mutagenesis, protein expression in heterologous ...
Resistant plants are not unprepared for intruders. Their cells are supplied with receptors that detect danger, as well as a mobile crisis manager responsible for the rollout of the immune response. As ...
