The mammalian tribble (TRIB) pseudokinase family has three homologues, which act as an adaptor protein to regulate cell signalling pathways. TRIB proteins can bind the E3 ligase, Constitutive Photomorphogenesis Protein 1 ...

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a biennial plant and completes its life cycle in two growing seasons i.e., forms bulbs in the first year and flowering and seed production occurs in the second year. The poor adaptation of onion ...

Eusociality is a social structure characterised by the reproductive division of labour. A reproductively dominant female or females carry out reproduction, and her subordinate female workers have their reproduction ...

Background: P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that presents a significant threat to immunocompromised individuals, particularly to those with cystic fibrosis (CF). Chronic lung infection is a major cause of ...

Ubiquitylation is a post-translational modification that regulates almost all signalling pathways in mammalian cells and its disruption is associated with a range of diseases. Ubiquitylation results in attachment of a small ...

Successful pathogenic bacteria must alter gene expression in response to changing and hostile environments. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) contribute to adaptability and pathogenicity by forming complex regulatory networks, and ...

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease affecting approximately 20,000 New Zealanders. Patients experience lifelong persistence of the disease with symptoms including a ...

Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) are short extracellular DNA fragments that have been explored by a number of studies to potentially reflect a more complete representation of tumour burden without utilizing the highly invasive ...

Photosystem II (PS II) catalyses the oxidation of water at ambient temperatures and the formation of plastoquinol using light. This multisubunit complex functions as a dimer, each monomer is surrounded by 13 low-molecular-weight ...

Human-induced climate variability can subject global regions to water scarcity, prompting widespread crop failure. This calls for innovations that preserve global food security that do not further contribute to climate ...
