简介:MYB蛋白质在真核细胞的有机体起重要作用。在植物,R1R2R3类型MYB蛋白质在房间周期控制工作。然而,R2R3类型MYB蛋白质是否也涉及房间部门过程,仍然保持未知。这里,我们报导那R2R3类型抄写因素基因,AtMYB59,涉及房间周期前进和根生长的规定。AtMYB59蛋白质在洋葱的原子核是局部性的表皮的房间并且transactivation活动。在酵母房间的AtMYB59的表示压制房间增长,和transformants与更长的房间有更多的原子核和更高的aneuploidDNA内容。在AtMYB59的保存领域的变化在酵母细胞生长上废除它的效果。在同步Arabidopsis房间暂停,AtMYB59基因明确地在房间周期前进期间在S阶段被表示。表示和promoter-GUS分析表明AtMYB59基因富有地在根被表示。转基因的植物overexpressingAtMYB59更短的根与野类型的植物(Arabidopsis就职Col-0)相比,并且在在根尖端的有丝分裂的房间的一半附近在中期。相反地,空变异的myb59-1比关口在中期让更长的根和更少有丝分裂的房间,建议那AtMYB59可以由扩大有丝分裂的房间的中期禁止根生长。AtMYB59调整许多下游的基因,包括CYCB1;1基因,可能通过到MYB应答的元素的绑定。这些结果在细胞周期规定和植物根生长为AtMYB59支持一个角色。

简介:囊包含域的蛋白质属于phosphoinositide磷酸酶(PIPPase家庭)的一个最新识别的家庭。尽管有描绘得好的酶的活动,这个哺乳动物的囊领域PIPPase家庭的生物功能仍然保持大部分未知。我们识别了新奇的囊包含域的蛋白质,老鼠Sac3(rSac3)它是广泛地在各种各样的纸巾表示了并且对endoplasmic蜂窝胃局部性,Golgi复杂、再循环的内涵体。rSac3在vitro作为底层与PI(3)P,PI(4)P和PI(3,5)P(2)显示PIPPase活动,并且在囊域的催化核心的一个变化废除它的酶的活动。rSac3的表示起来在刺激的神经生长因素(NGF)期间调整了PC12细胞neuronal区别,并且在这的表示上,蛋白质在PC12细胞支持神经突长出。相反地,由反感觉oligonucleotides的rSac3表示的抑制减少刺激NGF的PC12房间的神经突长出,并且rSac3的活跃地点变化消除它的neurite-outgrowth-promoting活动。这些结果显示rSac3在通过它的PIPPase活动区分神经原支持神经突长出,建议囊领域PIPPase蛋白质可以参予从到血浆膜的endoplasmic蜂窝胃和Golgi建筑群的前面的膜交通国王,并且可以作为neuronal房间生长和区别的这个关键过程的管理者工作。
