Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, cDNA cloning, and overexpression of a 33-kD cell surface glycoprotein that binds to the globular "heads" of C1q.
TL;DR: The "mature" protein, corresponding to amino acid residues 74-282 of the predicted pre-pro sequence, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and was purified to homogeneity and was able to inhibit the complement-mediated lysis of sheep erythrocytes by human serum and was shown to be a tetramer by gel filtration in nondissociating conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
RT-LAMP for rapid diagnosis of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
Wei E. Huang,Boon Leong Lim,Chia-Chen Hsu,Dan Xiong,Wei Wu,Yejiong Yu,Huidong Jia,Yun Wang,Yida Zeng,Mengmeng Ji,Hong Chang,Xiuming Zhang,Hui Wang,Zhanfeng Cui +13 more
TL;DR: This rapid, simple and sensitive RT‐LAMP method paves a way for a large screening at public domain and hospitals, particularly regional hospitals and medical centres in rural areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redefining the structural motifs that determine RNA binding and RNA editing by pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in land plants.
Shifeng Cheng,Bernard Gutmann,Xiao Zhong,Yongtao Ye,Mark F. Fisher,Fengqi Bai,Ian Castleden,Yue Song,Bo Song,Jiaying Huang,Xin Liu,Xun Xu,Boon Leong Lim,Charles S. Bond,Siu-Ming Yiu,Ian Small +15 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the super-helical RNA-binding surface of RNA-editing factors is potentially longer than previously recognised, and used the redefined motifs to develop accurate and consistent annotations of PPR sequences from 109 genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpressing AtPAP15 Enhances Phosphorus Efficiency in Soybean
TL;DR: This study is the first report on the improvement of P efficiency in soybean through constitutive expression of a plant APase gene, which could have significant implications for improving crop yield on soils low in available P, which is a serious agricultural limitation worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and diversity of phytate-mineralizing bacteria.
TL;DR: Analysis of the genetic contexts of β-propeller phytase genes showed that these two genes are functionally linked and thus may play an important role in the cycles of phosphorus and iron.
