Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiovascular disease and a major cause of sudden death. It is also involved in increasing morbidity and mortality of various cardiovascular diseases. Genetic factors have been found to be important in determining the phenotypic manifestation of cardiac hypertrophy. However, only 50–60% of HCM patients have been identified as having pathogenic variants in known genes, suggesting that more studies are needed to find more disease genes.

Bacterial infections have a substantial impact on global health and can become serious if misdiagnosed with several diseases related to the central nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. The prognosis in patients with infectious disease strongly depends on early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy. We aimed to compare the accuracy of genus and species-level identification bacteria using biochemical testing and 16S rRNA sequence analysis.

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) has been known as one of the key enzymes that involved in the phospholipid hydrolysis. However, the PI-PLC family in cassava has not been fully recorded. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the PI-PLC family in cassava assembly has been performed based on various bioinformatics tools.

Understanding the genetic complexity of traits is an important objective of small grain temperate cereals yield and adaptation improvements. Bi-parental quantitative trait loci (QTL) linkage mapping is a powerful method to identify genetic regions that co-segregate in the trait of interest within the research population. However, recently, association or linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) became an approach for unraveling the molecular genetic basis underlying the natural phenotypic variation.

We have identified and characterized a thermostable thio-redoxin system in the aerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon AeropyrumpernixK1. Thegene (Accessionno.APE0641) of A. pernixencoding a 37 kDaprotein contains a redox active site motif (CPHC) but its N-terminal extension region (about 200 residues) shows no homologywithin the genome database. A second gene (Accession no. APE1061) has high homology to thioredoxin reductase and encodes a 37 kDa protein with the active site motif (CSVC), and binding sites forFADandNADPH....

Antimicrobial peptides form one of the first lines of defense against invading pathogens by killing the microorganisms and/ormobilizing the host innate immune system. Although over 800 antimicrobial peptides have been isolated from many different species, especially insects, few have been reported frommarinefish. Sequenceanalysisof twogenomic clones (15.6 and 12.5 kb) from the winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus(Walbaum) resulted in the identification of multiple clustered genes for novel pleuro-cidin-like antimicrobial peptides....

Glucose transporters (GLUTs) have been implicated in adaptive and survival responses to hypoxic stress in mam-mals. In fish, the expression and regulation ofGLUT in relation to hypoxia remains unexplored. Here we describe the identification ofa hypoxia-responsive glucose transpor-ter gene (gcGLUT) and the corresponding full-length cDNA from the grass carp. The gene spans
11 kb ofgenomic sequence and consists of12 exons and 11 introns, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 1599 bp encoding a poly-peptide of533 amino acids, with a predictedmolecularmass of
57 kDa and a pI of8.34....

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex occupies a central and strategic posi-tion in muscle intermediary metabolism and is primarily regulated by phos-phorylation⁄dephosphorylation. The identification of multiple isoforms of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK1–4) and pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP1–2) has raised intriguing new possibilities for chronic pyruvate dehydrogenase complex control.

It is encoded by the CYM1gene and is specific for the C-terminus of basic residues of heterologously expressed peptides. Gene disruption ofCYM1not only reduced the intracellular proteolysis, but also enhanced the secretion of heterologously expressed peptides such as growth hormone, pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and pro-cholecystokinin....

Conservation of microRNAs (miRNAs) among species suggests that they bear conserved biological functions. However, sequencing of new miRNAs has not always been accompanied by a search for orthologues in other spe-cies. I report herein the results of a systematic search for interspecies ortho-logues of miRNA precursors, leading to the identification of 35 human and 45 mouse new putative miRNA genes. MicroRNA tracks were written to visualize miRNAs in human and mouse genomes on the UCSC Genome Browser....

Cell-free protein synthesis using cell extracts from Escherichia coli, wheat germ and rabbit reticulocytes has been used for over 40 years to produce small amounts of radiolabeled proteins for identification of gene products and other applications. In the E. coli system programmed with plasmid DNA, the cell extract contains or is supplemented with an RNA po-lymerase to transcribe the gene, and the mRNAs are translated by a complex mixture that contains ribo-somes and a full complement of initiation,...

In living organisms, genes encoding proteins that contain flavins as a pros-thetic group constitute approximately 2–3% of the total. The fluorescence of flavin cofactors in these proteins is a property that is widely employed for biochemical characterisation. Here, we present a modified Thermofluor  approach called ThermoFAD (Thermofluor  -adapted flavin ad hoc detec-tion system), which simplifies identification of optimal purification and storage conditions as well as high-affinity ligands.
