Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth largest food crop in world. Low temperatures cause serious damage to potato plants every year, and freezing tolerance has become a hot spot research. Galactinol synthase (GolS) key enzyme synthesis of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), plays an important role response abiotic stress. In this study, ScGolS1 gene from Solanum commersonii was clon...

RBP is a cellular protein that functions as a transcriptional repressor in mammalian cells. RBP has elicited great interest lately because of its established roles in regulating gene expression, in Drosophila and mouse development, and as a component of the Notch signal transduction pathway. This report focuses on the mechanism by which RBP represses transcription and thereby regulates expressi...

The centromere-kinetochore complex of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a specialized chromosomal substructure that mediates attachment of duplicated chromosomes to the mitotic spindle by a regulated network of protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions. We have used in vitro assays to analyze putative molecular interactions between components of the yeast centromerekinetochore complex. Glutathione...

Cysteine proteinases (thiol) carry out diverse and critical functions in plants through their ability to hydrolyze peptide bonds target proteins. Here, we cloned a cysteine proteinase gene designated VaCP17 from highly cold-resistant wild Vitis amurensis accession ‘Shuangyou’, then its potential function cold resistance was investigated. The results showed that the CDS of is 1404 bp, encoding 4...
