Saccharomyces cerevisiae can serve as a key production platform for biofuels,
nutraceuticals, industrial compounds, and therapeutic proteins. Over the recent years …

Glycerol, one of the most important by-products of alcoholic fermentation, has positive effects
on the sensory properties of fermented beverages. It was recently shown that the most direct …

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) form aqueous conduits in the nuclear envelope and gate
the diffusion of large proteins between the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. NPC proteins …

We describe here a pathway for the import of proteins into the intermembrane space (IMS) of
mitochondria. Substrates of this pathway are proteins with conserved cysteine motifs, which …

Active loading of the phloem with sucrose in leaves is an essential part of the process of
supplying non‐photosynthetic tissues with carbon and energy. The transport is protein …

We describe the construction and characterization of a novel set of plasmids for expression
of mitochondria‐targeted green fluorescent protein (GFP) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The …

The Vps13 protein family is highly conserved in eukaryotic cells. Mutations in human VPS13
genes result in a variety of diseases, such as chorea acanthocytosis (ChAc), but the cellular …

Suberin is a protective hydrophobic barrier consisting of phenolics, glycerol, and a variety of
fatty acid derivatives, including C18: 0-C22: 0 primary fatty alcohols. An eight-member gene …

Background The green fluorescent protein (GFP) of the jellyfish Aequorea victoria has
recently attracted great interest as the first example of a cloned reporter protein that is …

Fatty acid desaturases play important role in plant responses to abiotic stresses. However,
their exact function in plant resistance to salt stress is unknown. In this work, we provide the …
