The biochemistry and genetics of the bacterial steroid catabolism have been extensively studied during last years their findings essential to development biotechnological applications. For instance, metabolic engineering steroid-eater strains has allowed obtain intermediaries industrial value. However, there are still some drawbacks that must be overcome, such as redundancy genes in genome a be...

Phosphoinositides play important roles in plant growth and development. Several SAC domain phosphoinositide phosphatases have been reported to be for Here, we show functional analysis of SUPPRESSOR OF ACTIN 6 (SAC6) SAC8 Arabidopsis, a subfamily containing SAC-domain two transmembrane motifs. We isolated an Arabidopsis mutant ncp2 that lacked cotyledons seedling embryo pid, background defective...
