Ullucus
''Ullucus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Basellaceae, with one species, ''Ullucus tuberosus'', a plant grown primarily as a root vegetable, secondarily as a leaf vegetable. The name ''ulluco'' is derived from the Quechua word , but depending on the region, it has many different names. These include ''illaco'' (in Aymara), ''melloco'' (in Ecuador), ''chungua'' or ''ruba'' (in Colombia), ''olluco'' or ''papa'' ''lisa'' (in Bolivia and Peru), or ''ulluma'' (in Argentina).Busch, J. and Savage, G.P.

Rubredoxin A
Rubredoxin A (RubA) is a protein conserved across all studied oxygenic photoautotrophs. Structure As of March 2015 there was no crystal structure of RubA although a structure of the homologous protein from a cryptomonad was determined using NMR. Investigation of the gene however indicates that it differs from other known rubredoxins in being bound to the thylakoid membrane via a C-terminal transmembrane helix. Function An investigation of '' Guillardia theta'' noted that RubA had a similar distribution to Photosystem II (PSII) and immunological experiments indicated the presence of RubA in PSII complexes isolated from ''Spinacia oleracea''. In ''Synechocystis'' sp. PCC 6803 it has been demonstrated that the insertion of an antibiotic cassette into the ''rubA'' gene results in a marked decrease in the amount of PSII present, while the same mutation within '' Chlamydomonas reinhardtii'' and in ''Arabidopsis thaliana'' results in a total absence of PSII. Conversely, another s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
