Profilin 1 associates with stress granules and ALS-linked mutations alter stress granule dynamics.
Mutations in the PFN1 gene encoding profilin 1 are a rare cause of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Profilin 1 is a well studied actin-binding protein but how PFN1 mutations cause ALS is unknown. The budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has one PFN1 ortholog. We expressed the ALS-linked profilin 1 mutant proteins in yeast, demonstrating a loss of protein stability and failure t...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species (ROS): Beneficial Companions of Plants’ Developmental Processes
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated inevitably in the redox reactions of plants, including respiration and photosynthesis. In earlier studies, ROS were considered as toxic by-products of aerobic pathways of the metabolism. But in recent years, concept about ROS has changed because they also participate in developmental processes of plants by acting as signaling molecules. In plants, ROS...
متن کاملUV-B affects photosynthesis, ROS production and motility of the freshwater flagellate, Euglena agilis Carter.
The effects of ultraviolet B (UV-B; 295-320 nm) radiation on certain vital physiological (photosynthesis), biochemical (production of reactive oxygen species - ROS) and behavioral (motility and orientation) characteristics were investigated in the unicellular photoautotroph, Euglena agilis Carter. The photosynthetic performance of E. agilis was recorded after exposure of between 15 and 60 min f...
متن کاملUV-B exposure impairs resistance to infection by Trichinella spiralis.
To assess the possibility that increases in UV-B exposure on the earth's surface could lead to impaired resistance to several infectious diseases, we studied the effect of UV-B exposure on resistance against Trichinella spiralis. Wistar rats, orally infected with T. spiralis larvae, were exposed to suberythemal doses of UV-B radiation daily for 5 days at different time periods before or after i...
متن کاملSurvival, the hormonal stress response and UV-B avoidance in Cascades Frog tadpoles ( Rana cascadae ) exposed to UV-B radiation
1. Despite the increasing occurrence of global environmental changes, including increases in ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B; 280–320 nm), little is known about how factors such as UV-B affect animals physiologically. Amphibians provide a good model for examining physiological effects of UV-B exposure because studies documenting both lethal and sub-lethal effects have been completed on many speci...
