• Abstract

  Proteins are responsible by a huge number of functions in cells. This functions are directly related to the proteins fold structure. The proteins folding may not occur naturally in cells, so there is a specialized system, known Protein Quality Control (PQC). The PQC is formed by the sub-system of chaperones, which facilitates the correct folding of proteins, and the sub-system proteosome,…

  The project aims the characterization of transcription factors involved with the development of the corona, a typical floral organ of the Passifloraceae. This structure is absent in current plant models for the molecular biology of reproduction. In Passifloraceae the corona is involved with plant-polinator interactions. Expressed sequence tags generated by the PASSIOMA project will be use…

• Abstract

  The chaperones of the Hsp70 family have central role in the cellular network of molecular chaperones. These chaperones are engaged in many biological processes, including the folding of recently synthesized proteins to the native state, prevention of aggregation, solubilization and refolding of misfolded or aggregated proteins and transport of proteins across membranes. Hsp70 generally de…
