Identification of a Glyphosate-Resistant Mutant of Rice 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate 3-Phosphate Synthase Using a Directed Evolution Strategy1[W][OA]

Zhou, Min, Xu, Honglin, Wei, Xiaoli, Ye, Zhiqiang, Wei, Liping, Gong, Weimin, ...

5-Enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) is a key enzyme in the shikimate pathway and is targeted by the wide-spectrum herbicide glyphosate. Here, we describe the use of a selection system...

Impaired response to Listeria in H2-M3–deficient mice reveals a nonredundant role of MHC class Ib–specific T cells in host defense

Xu, Honglin, Chun, Taehoon, Choi, Hak-Jong, Wang, Bin, Wang, Chyung-Ru

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ib molecule H2-M3 primes the rapid expansion of CD8+ T cells by presenting N-formylated bacterial peptides. However, the significance of...

CD1d-expressing Dendritic Cells but Not Thymic Epithelial Cells Can Mediate Negative Selection of NKT Cells

Chun, Taehoon, Page, Michael J., Gapin, Laurent, Matsuda, Jennifer L., Xu, Honglin, Nguyen, Hanh, ...

Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique immunoregulatory T cell population that is positively selected by CD1d-expressing thymocytes. Previous studies have shown that NKT cells exhibit...

Polymorphisms in CD1d affect antigen presentation and the activation of CD1d-restricted T cells

Zimmer, Michael I., Nguyen, Hanh P., Wang, Bin, Xu, Honglin, Colmone, Angela, Felio, Kyrie, ...

CD1 proteins constitute a distinct lineage of antigen-presenting molecules specialized for the presentation of lipid antigens to T cells. In contrast to the extensive sequence polymorphism...

A transcriptomic analysis of superhybrid rice LYP9 and its parents

Wei, Gang, Tao, Yong, Liu, Guozhen, Chen, Chen, Luo, Renyuan, Xia, Hongai, ...

By using a whole-genome oligonucleotide microarray, designed based on known and predicted indica rice genes, we investigated transcriptome profiles in developing leaves and panicles of superhybrid...
