THE PD-(D/E)XK SUPERFAMILY REVISITED: IDENTIFICATION OF NEW MEMBERS AMONG PROTEINS INVOLVED IN DNA METABOLISM AND FUNCTIONAL PREDICTIONS FOR DOMAINS OF (HITHERTO) UNKNOWN FUNCTION

The PD-(D/E)XK superfamily revisited: identification of new members among proteins involved in DNA metabolism and functional predictions for domains of (hitherto) unknown function

Abstract Background The PD-(D/E)XK nuclease superfamily, initially identified in type II restriction endonucleases and later in read more many enzymes involved in DNA recombination and repair, is one of the most challenging targets for protein sequence analysis and structure prediction.Typically, the sequence similarity between these proteins is so

Crosstalk of Zn in Combination with Other Fertilizers Underpins Interactive Effects and Induces Resistance in Tomato Plant against Early Blight Disease

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the integrated effect of zinc (Zn) with other nutrients in managing early blight (EB) disease in tomato.A pot experiment was carried out with basal application of the recommended level of macronutrients [nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK)] and micronutrients [magnesium (Mg) and boron (B)] in bilate
