| Researchers identify enzyme that regulates degradation of damaged proteins Posted: 27 Sep 2011 12:52 PM PDT Scientists have identified an enzyme called a proteasome phosphatase that appears to regulate removal of damaged proteins from a cell. The understanding of how this process works could have important implications for numerous diseases, including cancer and Parkinson's disease.  |
| Biochemists identify new genetic code repair tool Posted: 27 Sep 2011 09:46 AM PDT Researchers recently reported finding a new class of DNA repair-makers. To ensure the integrity of the genetic material, cells are equipped with a "molecular toolkit" for repairing DNA damage. The toolkit is composed of a variety of different molecules -- called enzymes -- that have evolved to repair different types of DNA damage. Researchers have now discovered a new class of enzymes in that superfamily that lack the ability to repair uracil.  |
| Gene controlling flowering boosts energy production from sorghum Posted: 27 Sep 2011 08:24 AM PDT A sorghum hybrid that does not flower and accumulates as much as three times the amount of stem and leaf matter may help the bioenergy industry, according to a new study. Scientists have now discovered a gene that regulates sorghum flowering.  |
