Reversible phospho-dephosphorylation of proteins is a major mechanism for the control of
cellular functions. By large, Ser and Thr are the most frequently residues phosphorylated in …

Yeast strains have been used extensively as robust microbial cell factories for the production
of bulk and fine chemicals, including biofuels (bioethanol), complex pharmaceuticals …

We investigated the impact of the deletions of genes from the final steps in the biosynthesis
of ergosterol (ERG6, ERG2, ERG3, ERG5, ERG4) on the physiological function of the …

Root-to-shoot translocation and shoot homeostasis of potassium (K) determine nutrient
balance, growth, and stress tolerance of vascular plants. To maintain the cation-anion …

Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) between modular binding domains and their target
peptide motifs are thought to largely depend on the intrinsic binding specificities of the …

Brassinolide (BL) is the most biologically active compound among natural brassinosteroids.
However, the agricultural applications are limited by the extremely low natural abundance …

With the rapid development of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering technologies,
yeast has been generally considered as promising hosts for the bioproduction of secondary …

As the proper maintenance of intracellular potassium and sodium concentrations is vital for
cell growth, all living organisms have developed a cohort of strategies to maintain proper …

ERG6 gene encodes C-24 methyltransferase, one of the specific enzymes that differ in
mammalian and yeast sterol biosynthesis. To explore the function of Cg Erg6p in the yeast …

In the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, the cell wall integrity (CWI) signalling pathway
governs cell wall changes in response to external cues and normal CWI signalling is critical …
