TL;DR: A heat-stable factor that can migrate from the site of oviposition in the trunk through the xylem to needles in the crown of attacked pines was purified by size-fractionation and reversed-phase—high-performance liquid chromatography using activity assays based on defense gene induction as well as the needle wilt response in pine shoot explants.

TL;DR: Optimize DDA settings were applied to the analysis of Trypanosome brucei peptides, yielding peptide identifications at a rate almost five times faster than previously used methodologies, which significantly improves protein identification workflows that use typical available instrumentation.

TL;DR: Results presented here identify and validate two novel protein components of the putative tRNA translocon and provide additional evidence that mitochondrial tRNA and protein import have shared components in trypanosomes.

TL;DR: Although this bacterium is already known to be highly adaptable to gastric niches, a new aspect of its metabolic flexibility, whereby molecular hydrogen use (energy) is coupled to carbon dioxide fixation (carbon acquisition) via a described carbon fixation enzyme, is shown here.

TL;DR: Observations demonstrate that HSCF is a novel heparin-binding protein that potently neutralizes heParin's anticoagulation activity and reveals a potential for HSCf to be developed as a new antidote to treat overdosing of both hepar in and LMWH in clinical applications.
