The COI sequence of O.laetus was submitted to the Genbank database holding an accession number HQ908084 (Figure1). The amino acid sequence of the corresponding COI gene was also updated under the accession number ADZ05746, which turned out to contain 222 amino acids. Base statistics of the O.laetus COI are presented in Figure 2. It can be seen from the table that the fragment is rich in AT content as expected with thymine occurring most frequently followed by the others in the order A, C & G. The AT% stood at 67.2 in comparison to GC% at 32.8. The protein entry was subjected to family confirmation by searching the InterProScan database and the results indicate a very high and significant match confirming our sequence to be a part of Cytochrome C.
White biotechnology, also known as, industrial biotechnology has been skyrocketing in commercial markets because of the production of useful industrial products by using microorganisms. Today, microorganisms are being used for the production of commercially useful products, such as biofuels, pulp and paper, food, textile and detergents. To diversify the economical values, industrial biotechnology is making use of “genetically modified organisms” to enhance the efficiency of products [1]. Industrial biotechnology focuses on the production of the following products (Figure 1). Figure 1: Industrial Biotechnology. Biofuel production Biofuel production focuses on limiting greenhouse gas emission to prevent global warming, and making the environment clean of any pollution. Ethanol fuel is the most commonly used biofuel, produced by the fermentation of ethanol. Ethanol is produced by the yeast fermentation of cassava, potato, corn, and sugarcane. The production of biofuels is of economic value in agriculture sectors, thus promoting agriculture development in both rural and urban areas. Biofuels has taken over the industrial biotechnology agenda in recent years. The year 2005 has been regarded as the peak point for biofuels.
Potassium is essential macronutrient of plant. It is uptaken by plant through channels and transporters. Plants specie genomes contains a number of KUP/ HAK/KT transporters having the primary function to mediate K+ fluxes. In this study,we have identified 13 gene members of KUP/HAK/KT transporter gene family. In most of the plant species, these genes have been characterized but uncharacterized in D. carota. This study has been done to identify KUP/HAK/KT gene family in D. carota plant species to study its phylogeny. This gene family is important for potassium uptake and play an important role in translocation, osmotic potential regulation, plant development and growth. Different tools like MEGA 7.0.21, pfam, SMART and NCBI-BLASTp has been used to characterize the gene family. This study covers the phylogeny and evolution of KUP/HAK/KT transporters in D. carota with reference to A. thaliana.
The NOTCH gene encode transmembrane receptor. It play a vital role in several process stem cell maintenance and differentiation during embryonic and adult development. When ligand bind at a specific part intracellular part of NOTCH receptor is cleaved and translocate to the nucleus from where it can bind to transcription site. NOTCH activity can promotes tissue growth and cancer in some conditions but they also suppress tumors formation in others. Their gene structure show the amount of introns and exons by a dimensions structure of NOTCH gene. (Powell, Passmore et al. 1998)Various tools or database such as Mega7, Pfam and Gene structure and display server are used to analyze their phylogeny and their chromosome positions gene structure and introns and exons. Further studies are made to target the NOTCH pathway on growth and cancer suppressor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
