A cytoplasmic domain is required for the functional interaction of SRI and HtrI in archaeal signal transduction.

abstract：:The topic synthetic biology appears still as an 'empty basket to be filled'. However, there is already plenty of claims and visions, as well as convincing research strategies about the theme of synthetic biology. First of all, synthetic biology seems to be about the engineering of biology - about bottom-up and top-dow...

abstract：:In the filamentous fungus Neurospora, the production of dsRNA can elicit a dsRNA-induced transcriptional response similar to the interferon response in vertebrates. However, how fungi sense the expression of dsRNA and activate gene expression is unknown. In this study, we established a dsRNA response reporter system i...
