A new molecule discovered in the battle between plants and disease
...ive activation of PDF1.2, PR-1, and tyrosine amino transferase (TAT3) genes, but not the expression of LOX2 or VSP2 genes. The transgenic plants were more resistant toward the oomycete root pathogen Pythium irregulare than wild-type plants, evidenced by a more robust leaf and root growth upon infection.

...levels of a key enzyme, spermidine/spermine acetyl transferase (SSAT), which starts oxidation of polyamines, rose markedly when prostate cancer cells were treated with androgen. Polyamines are small molecules produced in large quantity by the prostate gland and are secreted in the seminal fluid. Oxidation of p...pET GST Fusion System 42 plus Competent Cells from Novagen
...luble GST fusions is also possible by assaying the transferase activity. In order to further enhance the utility of GST as a fusion tag, Novagen has designed two new multi-frame pET vectors, pET-41a-c(+) and pET-42a-c (+). In addition to featuring the powerful T7lac promoter, these vectors encode the GSTTag (220...pET GST Fusion System 42 from Novagen
