Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) hemoglobin genes: multiplicity and polymorphism (2009)

Borza, Tudor, Stone, Cynthia, Gamperl, A Kurt, Bowman, Sharen

Abstract Background Hemoglobin (Hb) polymorphism, assessed by protein gel electrophoresis, has been used almost exclusively to characterize the genetic structure of Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua )...

A Land Plant-Specific Multigene Family in the Unicellular Mesostigma Argues for Its Close Relationship to Streptophyta (2006)

Nedelcu, Aurora M., Borza, Tudor, Lee, Robert W.

The search for the unicellular relative of Streptophyta (i.e., land plants and their closest green algal relatives, the charophytes) started many years ago and remained centered around the scaly...

Structural and nucleotide-binding properties of YajQ and YnaF, two Escherichia coli proteins of unknown function (2002)

Saveanu, Cosmin, Miron, Simona, Borza, Tudor, Craescu, Constantin T., Labesse, Gilles, Gagyi, Cristina, ...

Structural genomics is a new approach in functional assignment of proteins identified via whole-genome sequencing programs. Its rationale is that nonhomologous proteins performing similar or related...

Regulation of Expression of the 2-Deoxy-d-Ribose Utilization Regulon, deoQKPX, from Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium

Christensen, Mette, Borza, Tudor, Dandanell, Gert, Gilles, Anne-Marie, Barzu, Octavian, Kelln, Rod A., ...

Salmonella enterica, in contrast to Escherichia coli K12, can use 2-deoxy-d-ribose as the sole carbon source. The genetic determinants for this capacity in S. enterica serovar Typhimurium include...

Multiple Metabolic Roles for the Nonphotosynthetic Plastid of the Green Alga Prototheca wickerhamii†

Borza, Tudor, Popescu, Cristina E., Lee, Robert W.

The presence of plastids in diverse eukaryotic lineages that have lost the capacity for photosynthesis is well documented. The metabolic functions of such organelles, however, are poorly understood...

Evolutionary Rates and Expression Level in Chlamydomonas

Popescu, Cristina E., Borza, Tudor, Bielawski, Joseph P., Lee, Robert W.

In many biological systems, especially bacteria and unicellular eukaryotes, rates of synonymous and nonsynonymous nucleotide divergence are negatively correlated with the level of gene expression, a...

Tracing the Evolution of the Light-Harvesting Antennae in Chlorophyll a/b-Containing Organisms1[OA]

Koziol, Adam G., Borza, Tudor, Ishida, Ken-Ichiro, Keeling, Patrick, Lee, Robert W., Durnford, Dion G.

The light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) of land plants and green algae have essential roles in light capture and photoprotection. Though the functional diversity of the individual LHC proteins are well...
