Chlamydomonas reinhardtii selenocysteine tRNA [Ser]Sec (2003)

Rao, Mahadev, Carlson, Bradley A., Novoselov, Sergey V., Weeks, Donald P., Gladyshev, Vadim, Hatfield, Dolph L.

Eukaryotic selenocysteine (Sec) protein insertion machinery was thought to be restricted to animals, but the occurrence of both Sec-containing proteins and the Sec insertion system was recently found...

Selenoproteins and selenocysteine insertion system in the model plant cell system, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (2002)

Novoselov, Sergey V., Rao, Mahadev, Onoshko, Natalia V., Zhi, Huijun, Kryukov, Gregory V., Xiang, Youbin, ...

Known eukaryotic selenocysteine (Sec)-containing proteins are animal proteins, whereas selenoproteins have not been found in yeast and plants. Surprisingly, we detected selenoproteins in a member of...

Psr1, a nuclear localized protein that regulates phosphorus metabolism in Chlamydomonas

Wykoff, Dennis D., Grossman, Arthur R., Weeks, Donald P., Usuda, Hideaki, Shimogawara, Kosuke

Understanding the ways in which phosphorus metabolism is regulated in photosynthetic eukaryotes is critical for optimizing crop productivity and managing aquatic ecosystems in which phosphorus can be...

The Cia5 gene controls formation of the carbon concentrating mechanism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Xiang, Youbin, Zhang, Jun, Weeks, Donald P.

Wild-type Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells shifted from high concentrations (5%) of CO2 to low, ambient levels (0.03%) rapidly increase transcription of mRNAs from several CO2-responsive genes....

Protein Chain Initiation by Methionyl-tRNA in Wheat Embryo*

Marcus, Abraham, Weeks, Donald P., Leis, Jonathan P., Keller, Elizabeth B.

The mechanism of protein chain initiation has been investigated in a cell-free amino acid incorporation system from wheat embryos dependent on tobacco mosaic virus RNA. Analysis of the N-termini of...

Polyribosome Isolation in the Presence of Diethyl Pyrocarbonate 1

Weeks, Donald P., Marcus, A.

Isolation of polyribosomes from wheat embryos and corn root tips in the presence of diethyl pyrocarbonate showed this reagent to have a protective effect on polyribosome structure. In addition, the...

A Dinitroaniline-Resistant Mutant of Eleusine indica Exhibits Cross-Resistance and Supersensitivity to Antimicrotubule Herbicides and Drugs 1

Vaughn, Kevin C., Marks, M. David, Weeks, Donald P.

A dinitroaniline-resistant (R) biotype of Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertner. (goosegrass) is demonstrated to be cross-resistant to a structurally non-related herbicide, amiprophosmethyl, and...
