GENES DETERMINING THE SYNTHESIS OF LAVONOID AND MELANIN PIGMENTS IN BARLEY by O. Yu. Shoeva, K. V. Strygina, E. K. Khlestkina

“…Since the 1970s, structural genes that encode the enzymes of lavonoid metabolism, as well as regulatory genes that determine the tissue-speciic accumulation of these pigments in grain tissues, as well as in vegetative organs have been identiied and localized in the barley genome. The Ant1 and Ant2 genes, determining the accumulation of anthocyanins in grain pericarp, the Ant28 gene controlling the biosynthesis of proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins) in seed coat, as well as the HvMpc2, HvMyc2 and HvWD40 genes responsible for the accumulation of anthocyanins in the aleurone layer of barley grain have been determined. …”

Evaluation and Prediction of the HIV-1 Central Polypurine Tract Influence on Foamy Viral Vectors to Transduce Dividing and Growth-Arrested Cells by Sergey Shityakov, Carola Förster, Axel Rethwilm, Thomas Dandekar

“…In this process, the HIV-1 central polypurine tract (cPPT) serves as a primer for plus-strand synthesis to produce a “flap” element and is believed to be crucial for the subsequent double-stranded cDNA formation of all retroviral RNA genomes. In this study, the effects of the lentiviral cPPT element on the FV transduction potential in dividing and growth-arrested (G1/S phase) adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial (A549) cells are investigated by experimental and theoretical methods. …”
