T cell activation and immune synapse formation require the appropriate activation and clustering of the integrin, LFA-1.Previous work has reported that the calpain family of calcium-dependent proteases are important regulators of integrin activation and modulate T cell adhesion and migration.However, these studies have been limited by the use of ca
ABSTRACT Arthrobotrys oligospora (A.oligospora) is a typical nematode-trapping (NT) fungus that can capture nematodes by producing adhesive networks.Peroxisomes are Sippy Cups single membrane-bound organelles that perform multiple physiological functions in filamentous fungi.Peroxisome biogenesis proteins are encoded by PEX genes, and the functions
Increasing temperature and changing SEAL land-use in the Guayana Shield and Amazonia result in an accelerated decline of sensitive lichen populations.Monitoring of these populations by biological plot inventories in particularly vulnerable sites is urgently needed.In order to know the diversity and distribution of lichen species at the Alto Orinoco
