Inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] is produced from the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate, and as part of a second-messenger signal transduction mechanism, induces release of Ca2+ from internal stores in both plant and animal systems. It is less well established how the
Inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) are promising agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. The bioactivity-guided isolation led to the separation of two new compounds, (±)-tradescantin (13) and tradescantoside (16), along with fourteen known compounds (1-12, 14, and
Stamen hair cells from the spiderwort plant, Tradescantia virginiana, exhibit remarkably predictable metaphase transit times, making them uniquely suitable for temporal studies on mitotic regulation. In this study, we describe two kinds of experiments that test whether protein phosphatase activity
We report the effects of abscisic acid and auxin (alpha-naphthalene acetic acid) on regulation of enzyme synthesis during senescence of leaf sections of Rhoeo discolor Hance. Abscisic acid always accelerates the onset of and enhances the magnitude of the increase in activity of acid phosphatase;
Stamen hair cells of the spiderwort plant Tradescantia virginiana exhibit unusually predictable rates of progression through mitosis, particularly from the time of nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD) through the initiation of cytokinesis. The predictable rate of progression through prometaphase and
