Cytostatic drugs are among the most toxic chemicals which are produced. Many of them cause damage of the genetic material which may affect the fertility of higher organisms. To study the impact of the widely used anticancer drugs [cisplatin (CisPt), etoposide (Et), and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)] on the
Several members of the multidrug resistance protein (MRP) family mediate the ATP-dependent transport of amphiphilic anions across membranes. The substrate specificity of recombinant human MRP1 has been most extensively defined by use of inside-out membrane vesicles. Substrates include the
Only few orthologs of animal apoptosis regulators have been found in plants. Recently, the ectopic expression of mammalian inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) has been shown to affect plant programmed cell death. Here, we identified two novel proteins homologous to Arabidopsis thaliana IAP-like
Family 1 glycosyltransferases are a group of enzymes known to embrace a large range of different substrates. This study devises a method to enhance the range of substrates even further by combining domains from different glycosyltransferases to gain improved substrate specificity and catalytic
