FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE CATHEPSIN-LIKE CYSTEINE PROTEASE GENES IN ADULT BRUGIA MALAYI USING RNA INTERFERENCE.

Functional analysis of the cathepsin-like cysteine protease genes in adult Brugia malayi using RNA interference.

Cathepsin-like enzymes have been identified as potential targets for drug or vaccine development in many parasites, as their functions appear to be essential in a variety of important biological processes within the host, such as molting, cuticle remodeling, embryogenesis, feeding and immune evasion.Functional analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans cat

Plasma membrane protein OsMCA1 is involved in regulation of hypo-osmotic shock-induced Ca2+ influx and modulates generation of reactive oxygen species in cultured rice cells

Abstract Background Mechanosensing and its downstream responses are speculated to involve sensory complexes containing Ca2+-permeable mechanosensitive channels.On recognizing osmotic signals, plant cells initiate activation of a widespread signal transduction network that induces second messengers and triggers inducible defense responses.Characteri
