Calcineurin, also known as protein phosphatase 2B (PP2B), is a calcium-calmodulin-dependent phosphatase. It couples intracellular calcium to dephosphorylate selected substrates resulting in diverse biological consequences depending on cell ...

Chara myosin is a class XI plant myosin in green algae Chara corallina and responsible for fast cytoplasmic streaming. The Chara myosin exhibits the fastest sliding movement of F-actin at 60 mum/s as observed so far, 10-fold of the shorteni...

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic mechanism that silences one parental allele of a small subset of genes. Many imprinted genes exhibit this property only in extraembryonic tissues-placenta and yolk sac. This has led to the idea that impri...

The capacity of fibroblasts to produce and organize the extracellular matrix and to communicate with other cells makes them a central component of tissue biology. Even so, fibroblasts remain a somewhat enigmatic population. Our inability to...

The cytokinin class of phytohormones regulates division and differentiation of plant cells. They are perceived and signaled by a phosphorelay mechanism similar to those observed in prokaryotes. Research into the components of phosphorelay h...
