Pectinolytic Bacterial Consortia Reduce Jute Retting Period and Improve Fibre Quality.

abstract：:p53 is a representative transcription factor that activates multiple target genes. To realize stimulus-dependent specificities, p53 has to recognize targets with structural variety, of which molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we conducted a series of long-time scale (totally more than 100-ms) coarse-grain...

abstract：:Previously, we cloned a new gene termed 'tongue cancer resistance-associated protein 1' (TCRP1), which modulates tumorigenesis, enhances cisplatin (cDDP) resistance in cancers, and may be a potential target for reversing drug resistance. However, the mechanisms for regulating TCRP1 expression remain unclear. Herein, w...
