The Genome of the Natural Genetic Engineer Agrobacterium (2009)
Tumefaciens C, Derek W. Wood, Joao C. Setubal, Rajinder Kaul, Dave E. Monks, Joao P. Kitajima, ...
The 5.67-megabase genome of the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 consists of a circular chromosome, a linear chromosome, and two plasmids. Extensive orthology and nucleotide colinearity...
SOD2polymorphisms: unmasking the effect of polymorphism on splicing (2007)
Shao, Jing, Chen, Lishan, Marrs, Brian, Lee, Lin, Huang, Hai, Manton, Kenneth G, ...
Abstract Background The SOD2 gene encodes an antioxidant enzyme, mitochondrial superoxide dismutase. SOD2 polymorphisms are of interest because of their potential roles in the modulation of free...
Werner syndrome is a premature aging disease caused by the mutation in the WRN gene. The cloning and characterization of the WRN gene and its product allows investigators to study the disease and the...
The Genome of the Natural Genetic Engineer Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 (2001)
Derek W. Wood, Joao C. Setubal, Rajinder Kaul, Dave E. Monks, Joao P. Kitajima, Vagner K. Okura, ...
ro- teobacterium of the family Rhizobiaceae and a member of the diverse Agrobacterium genus. A ubiquitous soil organism and etiological agent of the plant disease crown gall (1), A. tumefaciens...
Chen, Lishan, Li, Catherine M., Nester, Eugene W.
The transfer of T-DNA from Agrobacterium to plant cells is mediated by a system which involves the virB operon of the Ti plasmid. We report that VirE2 and VirD2, two T-DNA-associated proteins, as...
Agrobacterium VirD2 protein interacts with plant host cyclophilins
Deng, Wanyin, Chen, Lishan, Wood, Derek W., Metcalfe, Tracee, Liang, Xiaoyou, Gordon, Milton P., ...
Agrobacterium tumefaciens induces crown gall tumors on plants by transferring a nucleoprotein complex, the T-complex, from the bacterium to the plant cell. The T-complex consists of T-DNA, a...
ANT1, an Aromatic and Neutral Amino Acid Transporter in Arabidopsis
Chen, Lishan, Ortiz-Lopez, Adriana, Jung, Alan, Bush, Daniel R.
A new amino acid transporter was identified from the Arabidopsis expressed sequence tag cDNAs by expressing the cDNA in a yeast amino acid transport mutant. Transport analysis of the expressed...
A New Type IV Secretion System Promotes Conjugal Transfer in Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Chen, Lishan, Chen, Yuching, Wood, Derek W., Nester, Eugene W.
Two DNA transfer systems encoded by the tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid have been previously identified in Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The virB operon is required for the transfer of transferred DNA to...
