Human protein S (PS), a cofactor of anticoagulant-activated protein C (APC), is a modular protein containing 4 epidermal growth factor (EGF)–like domains. EGF1 appears to mediate PS interaction with APC, but the roles of EGFs 2, 3, and 4 are less clear. We synthesized PS variants lacking single EGF domains (EGF2, 3, or 4) and assessed their APC cofactor activity in a factor Va inactivation assa...

Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) has become one of the most devastating diseases for rice, a major food source for over half of the world populations. To investigate the roles of protein phosphorylation in rice bacterial blight resistance, a quantitative phosphoproteomic study was conducted in rice variety IRBB5 at 0 h and 24 h after Xoo infection. 2367 and 22...
