In many eukaryotes, including mammals, plants, yeast, and insects, introns can increase
gene expression without functioning as a binding site for transcription factors. This …

Alternative splicing (AS) of precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) from multiexon genes allows
organisms to increase their coding potential and regulate gene expression through multiple …

Studies of promoters that largely regulate gene expression at the transcriptional level are
crucial for improving our basic understanding of gene regulation and will expand the toolbox …

The protein ubiquitin is a covalent modifier of proteins, including itself. The ubiquitin system
encompasses the enzymes required for catalysing attachment of ubiquitin to substrates as …

A picture is beginning to emerge from a variety of organisms that for a subset of genes, the
most important sequences that regulate expression are situated not in the promoter but …

Filamentous fungi are able to produce a wide range of valuable proteins and enzymes for
many industrial applications. Recent advances in fungal genomics and experimental …

Abstract Background Oat (Avena sativa L.) is a recognized health-food, and the contributions
of its different candidate A-genome progenitor species remain inconclusive. Here, we report …

Within two years of their discovery in 1977, introns were found to have a positive effect on
gene expression. Numerous examples of stimulatory introns have been described since …

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) compose a family of multifunctional enzymes involved in
the numerous aspects of regulating plant growth, development, and stress response. An in …

Many plant promoters were characterized and used for transgene expression in plants. Even
though these promoters drive high levels of transgene expression in plants, the expression …
