The cytochrome b5 dependent C-5(6) sterol desaturase DES5A from the endoplasmic reticulum of Tetrahymena thermophila complements ergosterol biosynthesis mutants in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (2012)
Journal Article
Poklepovich, T. J., Rinaldi, M. A., Tomazic, M. L., Favale, N. O., Turkewitz, A. P., Nudel, C. B., & Nusblat, A. D. (2012). The cytochrome b5 dependent C-5(6) sterol desaturase DES5A from the endoplasmic reticulum of Tetrahymena thermophila complements ergosterol biosynthesis mutants in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Steroids, 77(13), 1313-1320. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.steroids.2012.08.015

Tetrahymena thermophila is a free-living ciliate with no exogenous sterol requirement. However, it can perform several modifications on externally added sterols including desaturation at C5(6), C7(8), and C22(23). Sterol desaturases in Tetrahymena ar...

A gain-of-function mutation in IAA16 confers reduced responses to auxin and abscisic acid and impedes plant growth and fertility (2012)
Journal Article
Rinaldi, M. A., Liu, J., Enders, T. A., Bartel, B., & Strader, L. C. (2012). A gain-of-function mutation in IAA16 confers reduced responses to auxin and abscisic acid and impedes plant growth and fertility. Plant Molecular Biology, 79(4-5), 359-373. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11103-012-9917-y

Auxin regulates many aspects of plant development, in part, through degradation of the Aux/IAA family of transcriptional repressors. Consequently, stabilizing mutations in several Aux/IAA proteins confer reduced auxin responsiveness. However, of the...
