Journal ArticleDOI
A protein from the salivary glands of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is essential in feeding on a host plant
Navdeep S. Mutti,Joe Louis,Loretta K. Pappan,Kirk L. Pappan,Khurshida Begum,Ming-Shun Chen,Yoonseong Park,Neal T. Dittmer,Jeremy L. Marshall,John C. Reese,Gerald R. Reeck +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown, by using RNAi-based transcript knockdown, that this protein is important in the survival of the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) on fava bean, a host plant, and this protein, whose sequence contains an N-terminal secretion signal, is injected into the host plant during aphid feeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of functions of the chitin deacetylase gene family in Tribolium castaneum
Yasuyuki Arakane,Radhika Dixit,Khurshida Begum,Yoonseong Park,Charles A. Specht,Hans Merzendorfer,Karl J. Kramer,Karl J. Kramer,Subbaratnam Muthukrishnan,Richard W. Beeman +9 more
TL;DR: Functional specialization among T. castaneum CDA genes and splice variants is revealed, and unique and very dissimilar adult phenotypes were observed after injection of dsRNAs that specifically down-regulated either of the two alternatively spliced transcripts of TcCDA2, namely Tc CDA2a or TcBDA2b.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and antimalarial activity of novel medium-sized 1,2,4,5-tetraoxacycloalkanes.
Hye‐Sook Kim,Yukiko Nagai,Kanako Ono,Khurshida Begum,Yusuke Wataya,Y. Hamada,Kaoru Tsuchiya,Araki Masuyama,Masatomo Nojima,Kevin J. McCullough +9 more
TL;DR: Evaluation of the antimalarial activity of the cyclic peroxides 4-8 in vitro and in vivo revealed that 1,2,6,7-tetraoxaspiro[7.11]nonadecane 4a has considerable potential as a new, inexpensive, and potentantimalarial drug.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new isoform of steroid receptor coactivator-1 is crucial for pathogenic progression of endometriosis
Sang Jun Han,Shannon M. Hawkins,Khurshida Begum,Sung Yun Jung,Ertug Kovanci,Jun Qin,John P. Lydon,Francesco J. DeMayo,Bert W. O'Malley +8 more
TL;DR: Collectively, the newly identified TNF-α–MMP9–SRC-1 isoform functional axis promotes pathogenic progression of endometriosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vasopressin-like peptide and its receptor function in an indirect diuretic signaling pathway in the red flour beetle.
Michael J. Aikins,David A. Schooley,Khurshida Begum,Michel Detheux,Richard W. Beeman,Yoonseong Park +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that AVPL functions as a monomer in Tribolium, indirectly stimulating the Malpighian tubules through the central nervous system including the endocrine organs corpora cardiaca and corpora allata.
