WT1 was first described in 1990 as a tumour suppressor gene associated with Wilms tumour (nephroblastoma). It encodes a typical transcription factor with four C2-H2 zinc fingers in the C-terminus. However WT1 is surprisingly complex at multiple level... Read More about The post-transcriptional roles of WT1, a multifunctional zinc-finger protein.

The thiols groups of cysteine residues on proteins are attractive oxidative targets for modification by reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Such modification can lead to important cellular signaling processes that ultimately re... Read More about Tools to investigate ROS sensitive signalling proteins.

Journal of Experimental Botany, 59(15), 4271-4287. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/ern276

The gaseous hormone ethylene is perceived by a family of ethylene receptors which interact with the Raf-like kinase CTR1. SlTPR1 encodes a novel TPR (tetratricopeptide repeat) protein from tomato that interacts with the ethylene receptors NR and LeET...

Various data indicate that nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous signal in plants that mediates responses to several stimuli. Experimental evidence in support of such signalling roles for NO has been obtained via the application of NO, usually in the fo... Read More about Nitric oxide, stomatal closure, and abiotic stress.
