RPE, a plant gene involved in early developmental steps of nematode feeding cells.
Sedentary plant-parasitic nematodes are able to induce the redifferentiation of root cells into multinucleate nematode feeding sites (NFSs). We have isolated by promoter trapping an Arabidopsis thaliana gene that is essential for the early steps of NFS formation induced by the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. Its pattern of expression is similar to that of key regulators of the cell cy...
متن کاملFeeding behaviour in rabbits
As a monogastric herbivore, the rabbit presents a unique feeding behaviour compared to other domestic animals, since he belongs to the Lagomorpha order (Leporidae family: rabbits and hares, Grassé and Dekeuser, 1955), and consequently possess a main specificity that is the caecotrophy. For recall (see details in chapter 1), the caecotrophy is a complete behaviour involving an excretion and an i...
متن کاملNematode Homologue of PQBP1, a Mental Retardation Causative Gene, Is Involved in Lipid Metabolism
BACKGROUND PQBP1 is a causative gene for X-linked mental retardation (MR) whose patients frequently show lean body. C. elegans has a strictly conserved homologue gene of PQBP1, T21D12.3. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We generated Venus-transgenic and T21D12.3-mutant nematodes to analyze developmental expression patterns and in vivo functions of the nematode PQBP1 homologue protein (pqbp-...
متن کاملA comprehensive in silico analysis of pathogenic nsSNPs in the NT5C2 gene involved in relapsed ALL
Background: About 10-20% of children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), experience a relapse, which is a major cause of their death. Purine nucleotide analogs are frequently prescribed to maintain the treatment of ALL. Cytosolic 5´-nucleotidase (NT5C2) catalyzes the 5´ dephosphorylation of purine analogs. Gain-of-function mutations in the NT5C2 gene result in resistance to the t...
متن کاملPeptidergic mechanisms in feeding behaviour.
Hyperphagia was induced in mice by p.o. administration of different types of CNS depressant drugs, like chlordiazepoxide 25 mg/kg diazepam 2.5 mg/kg, cyproheptadine 2 mg/kg and phenobarbitone 25 mg/kg. Such hyperphagia was abolished by pretreatment with naloxone 0.1 mg/kg sc. Naloxone per se at this dose produced no significant effect on the food intake. This is suggestive of the role of peptid...
