Biochemistry of arsenic detoxification
TLDR
While the overall schemes for arsenic resistance are similar in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, some of the specific proteins are the products of separate evolutionary pathways.About:

Efeito do mercúrio no estresse oxidativo, na atividade da delta-ala-d e no crescimento de plântulas de pepino
TL;DR: Cargnelutti et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effects of mercury (HgCl2) in cucumber seedlings (Cucumis sativus L.) through the analysis of the physiological and biochemical parameters.

RNA transcript response by an Acidithiobacillus spp. mixed culture reveals adaptations to growth on arsenopyrite
TL;DR: In this paper, a co-culture of acidithiobacillus spp. was used for biooxidation of gold-bearing refractory mineral ores such as arsenopyrite (FeAsS).

A strategy for repression of arsenic toxicity through nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 activation mediated by the (E)-2-alkenals in Coriandrum sativum L. leaf extract.
TL;DR: It is indicated that CSLE containing (E)-2-alkenals activates Nrf2, leading to a reduction in arsenic accumulation in vivo, and the protective role of CSLE and (E-2-alksenals against inorganic arsenite (iAsIII) cytotoxicity.

Distantly related sequences in the alpha- and beta-subunits of ATP synthase, myosin, kinases and other ATP-requiring enzymes and a common nucleotide binding fold.
TL;DR: Related sequences in both alpha and beta and in other enzymes that bind ATP or ADP in catalysis help to identify regions contributing to an adenine nucleotide binding fold in both ATP synthase subunits.

CLUSTAL: A package for performing multiple sequence alignment on a microcomputer
Desmond G. Higgins,Paul M. Sharp +1 more
TL;DR: An approach for performing multiple alignments of large numbers of amino acid or nucleotide sequences is described, based on first deriving a phylogenetic tree from a matrix of all pairwise sequence similarity scores obtained using a fast pairwise alignment algorithm.

Classification and evolution of P-loop GTPases and related ATPases.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared sequences and available structures for all the widely distributed representatives of the P-loop GTPases and GTPase-related proteins with the aim of constructing an evolutionary classification for this superclass of proteins and reconstructing the principal events in their evolution.

Comparative toxicity of trivalent and pentavalent inorganic and methylated arsenicals in rat and human cells.
Miroslav Styblo,L.M. Del Razo,Libia Vega,Dori R. Germolec,Edward L. LeCluyse,G. Hamilton,W Reed,Changqing Wang,William R. Cullen,David J. Thomas +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that trivalent methylated arsenicals, intermediary products of arsenic methylation, may significantly contribute to the adverse effects associated with exposure to iAs, and high methylation capacity does not protect cells from the acute toxicity of triavalent arsenicals.

The MRP gene encodes an ATP-dependent export pump for leukotriene C4 and structurally related conjugates.
Inka Leier,Gabriele Jedlitschky,Ulrike Buchholz,Susan P.C. Cole,Roger G. Deeley,Dietrich Keppler +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the biosynthetic release of LTC4 from cells is mediated by the 190-kDa product of the MRP gene, a primary-active ATP-dependent export pump for conjugates of lipophilic compounds with glutathione and several other anionic residues.
