Tapetum-specific expression of a cytoplasmic orf507 gene causes semi-male sterility in transgenic peppers
Though cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in peppers is associated with the orf507 gene, definitive and direct evidence that it directly causes male sterility is still lacking. In this study, differences in histochemical localization of anther cytochrome c oxidase between the pepper CMS line and maintainer line were observed mainly in the tapetal cells and tapetal membrane. Inducible and specific...
متن کاملMild phenotype in a male with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency associated with novel hemizygous in-frame duplication of the E1α subunit gene (PDHA1).
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) deficiency is an inborn error of metabolism that occurs most commonly due to mutations in the X-linked E1α subunit gene (PDHA1). We report a novel duplication of PDHA1 associated with a mild phenotype in a 15-year-old boy who was diagnosed with PDHC deficiency at 4 years of age following a history of seizures and lactic acidosis. The novel c.1087_1119 mutat...
متن کاملTargeted deletion of the Kv6.4 subunit causes male sterility due to disturbed spermiogenesis.
Electrically silent voltage-gated potassium (KvS) channel subunits (i.e. Kv5-Kv6 and Kv8-Kv9) do not form functional homotetrameric Kv channels, but co-assemble with Kv2 subunits, generating functional heterotetrameric Kv2--KvS channel complexes in which the KvS subunits modulate the Kv2 channel properties. Several KvS subunits are expressed in testis tissue but knowledge about their contributi...
متن کاملMechanism of Pyruvate Inhibition of Kidney Pyruvate Dehydrogenase, Kinase and Synergistic Inhibition by Pyruvate and ADP*
Pyruvate has been shown to both stimulate and inhibit kidney pyruvate dehydrogenase, (PDH,) kinase activity. The present study investigates the inhibitory effect of pyruvate under conditions in which the stimulatory effect is invariant. Inhibition of PDH, kinase activity by dichloroacetate, a pyruvate analog, is also characterized. Both pyruvate and dichloroacetate are uncompetitive, hyperbolic...
متن کاملThe PI3K/Akt Pathway Regulates Oxygen Metabolism via Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH)-E1α Phosphorylation.
Inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway decreases hypoxia within SQ20B human head and neck cancer xenografts. We set out to understand the molecular mechanism underlying this observation. We measured oxygen consumption using both a Clark electrode and an extracellular flux analyzer. We made these measurements after various pharmacologic and genetic manipulations. Pharmacologic inhibition of the PI3K...
