A cDNA encoding a chitinase-related receptor-like kinase, designated CHRK1, was isolated from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The C-terminal kinase domain (KD) of CHRK1 contained all of the conserved ami
The OGG1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae codes for a DNA glycosylase that excises 7,8-dihydro-8- oxoguanine (8-OxoG) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5- N -methylformamidopyrimidine (Fapy) from damaged DNA.
Acquired thermotolerance (AT) is the ability of cells to survive a normally lethal temperature treatment as a consequence of pretreatment at an elevated but sublethal temperature. In yeast and cyanoba
The Antwerp database on large subunit ribosomal RNA now contains 607 complete or nearly complete aligned sequences. The alignment incorporates secondary structure information for each sequence. Other
The coding sequences for a Schizosaccharomyces pombe sequence-specific DNA binding protein, Reb1p, have been cloned. The predicted S. pombe Reb1p is 24-29% identical to mouse TTF-1 (transcription term
