In this review, we summarize the multiple functions of NQO1, its established roles in redox
processes and potential roles in redox control that are currently emerging. NQO1 has …

Some bacteria have the remarkable capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia under
ambient conditions, a reaction only mimicked on an industrial scale by a chemical process …

SUMMARY PAS domains are newly recognized signaling domains that are widely
distributed in proteins from members of the Archaea and Bacteria and from fungi, plants …

Azospirillum represents the best characterized genus of plant growth-promoting
rhizobacteria. Other free-living diazotrophs repeatedly detected in association with plant …

Blue and ultraviolet-A light regulate a wide range of responses in plants, including
phototropism, chloroplast migration and stomatal opening. However, the photoreceptors for …

The NPH1 (nonphototropic hypocotyl 1) gene encodes an essential component acting very
early in the signal-transduction chain for phototropism. Arabidopsis NPH1 contains a serine …

Phototropism, the bending response of plant organs to or away from a directional light
source, is one of the best studied blue light responses in plants. Although phototropism has …

The NPH1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a 120-kilodalton serine-threonine protein
kinase hypothesized to function as a photoreceptor for phototropism. When expressed in …

Redox reactions pervade living cells. They are central to both anabolic and catabolic
metabolism. The ability to maintain redox balance is therefore vital to all organisms. Various …

Neuronal PAS domain protein 2 (NPAS2) is a mammalian transcription factor that binds
DNA as an obligate dimeric partner of BMAL1 and is implicated in the regulation of circadian …
