Maize Thymidine Kinase Activity Is Present throughout Plant Development and Its Heterologous Expression Confers Tolerance to an Organellar DNA-Damaging Agent

Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) phosphorylates Storage Bed thymidine nucleosides to generate thymidine monophosphate.This reaction belongs to the pyrimidine salvage route that is phylogenetically conserved.In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, TK activity contributes to maintain nuclear and organellar genome integrity by providing deoxythymidine-tripho

Similarly Lethal Strains of Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli Trigger Markedly Diverse Host Responses in a Zebrafish Model of Sepsis

ABSTRACT In individuals with sepsis, the infecting microbes are commonly viewed as generic inducers of inflammation while the host background is considered the primary variable affecting disease progression and outcome.To study the effects of bacterial strain differences on the maladaptive immune responses that are induced during sepsis, we employe
