New enzymes, transporters, and specific/global regulatory systems have been recently characterized, and reveal that the widespread biodegradation capabilities extend to unexpected substrates such as lignin.
Major and accessory drug resistance mutations have been recently characterized in the C-terminal RT subdomains of HIV-1, connection and RNase H.
Members of this lineage are Grapevine leafroll associated virus-4, -5, -6, -9 and two isolates (GLRaV-De and GLRaV-Pr) that have been recently characterized and represent new species.
Suramin is a hexasulfonated naphthylurea which has been recently characterized as a non-competitive inhibitor of human alpha-thrombin activity over fibrinogen, although its binding site and mode of interaction with the enzyme remain elusive.
Microduplications 22q11.2 have been recently characterized as a new genomic duplication syndrome showing an extremely variable phenotype ranging from normal or mild learning disability to multiple congenital defects and sharing some overlapping features with DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome (DGS/VCFS), including heart defects, urogenital abnormalities and velopharyngeal insufficiency.
Among these, activity of sodium nitroprusside has been recently characterized in detail.
Different metabolites of membrane lipids have been recently characterized as endogenous activators of the TRPV1 receptor [25].
To improve the agronomical traits of rice, the functions of more than 1,000 rice genes have been recently characterized and summarized.
In addition, a low-affinity putative MLT binding site called MT3 has been recently characterized as a melatonin-sensitive form of the human enzyme quinine reductase 2 [2].
Tandem duplication involving the KIAA1549 and the BRAF kinase genes results in a gene fusion that has been recently characterized in a subset of low grade glioma While there is no clear evidence that the KIAA1549-BRAF gene fusion has an effect on prognosis, it is an attractive target for therapy development and as a diagnostic tool.
The functional roles of CLCs have been recently characterized using RNAi.
