Journal ArticleDOI
PRD-1, a Component of the Circadian System of Neurospora crassa, Is a Member of the DEAD-box RNA Helicase Family.
TL;DR: It is concluded that PRD-1 is a member of an RNA helicase family that may be specifically involved in regulating rhythmicity in N. crassa in both the complete circadian system and FLO(s).
Journal ArticleDOI
A new mutation affecting FRQ-less rhythms in the circadian system of Neurospora crassa.
Sanshu Li,Kamyar Motavaze,Kamyar Motavaze,Elizabeth Kafes,Sujiththa Suntharalingam,Patricia L. Lakin-Thomas +5 more
TL;DR: A model of the Neurospora circadian system in which the FRQ/WCC feedback loop mutually interacts with a single FLO in an integrated circadian system is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tripartite toxin‐antitoxin module induced by quorum sensing is associated with the persistence phenotype in Streptococcus mutans
Delphine Dufour,Alexandra Mankovskaia,Yuki Chan,Kamyar Motavaze,Siew-Ging Gong,Celine M. Lévesque,Celine M. Lévesque +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that the SmuATR system constitutes a novel tripartite type II TA system in which the smuA and smuT genes encode an antitoxin and a toxin, respectively, while SmuR is a transcriptional repressor involved in the autoregulation of the operon.
Journal ArticleDOI
A component of the TOR (Target Of Rapamycin) nutrient-sensing pathway plays a role in circadian rhythmicity in Neurospora crassa
Lalanthi Ratnayake,Keyur K. Adhvaryu,Elizabeth Kafes,Kamyar Motavaze,Patricia L. Lakin-Thomas +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a key protein in the complex that anchors TOR to the vacuole plays a role in maintaining circadian (daily) rhythmicity.
