Viruses are also dominant in terms of genetic variety. Indeed, the greatest number of unique genes without detectable homologs in other genomes is found in viral genomes (Kristensen et al.

The KNS3-KNSTH1-KNSTH2 complex acts as a cargo receptor for the transport of boric acid channels from the endoplasmic ...

The Fanzor protein family, comprised of Fanzor1 and Fanzor2, are homologs of TnpB found in eukaryotes and eukaryotic viruses. Elizabeth Kellogg, PhD, St. Jude Department of Structural Biology ...

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how are they positioned where they need to be?

This important study explores the interplay between gene dosage and gene mutations in the evolution of antibiotic resistance. The authors provide solid evidence to connect proteostasis with gene ...

A team has clarified how in plants the boric acid channels, the conduits for the necessary element boron, are transported to the plasma membrane.
