Project description:The coordination of chloroplast and nuclear genome status are critical for plant cell function, but the mechanism remain largely unclear. In this study, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana CHLOROPLAST AND NUCLEUS DUAL-LOCALIZED PROTEIN 1 (CND1) maintains genome stability in both the chloroplast and the nucleus.
Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).

Project description:Six new labdane diterpenoids, preleosibirone A (1), 13-epi-preleosibirone A (2), isopreleosibirone A (3), leosibirone A (4), leosibirone B (5), and 15-epi-leosibirone B (6), were isolated from the leaves of Leonurus sibiricus. The absolute configurations of 1, 2, 5, and 6 were established by X-ray crystallographic analyses, and leosibirone A (4) was shown to be an artifact of the isolation process.
Project description:Three known (leoleorins A-C) and eight hitherto unknown (leoleorins D-J and 16-epi-leoleorin F) labdane diterpenoids, were isolated from leaves of Leonotis leonurus. The absolute configurations of leoleorins A and D were established by X-ray crystallographic analyses. In a competitive binding assay, all isolated compounds showed inhibition in excess of 50% at various CNS receptors. Leoleorin C showed moderate binding affinity (Ki=2.9 ?M) for the Sigma 1 receptor.
