      Subburaj, Saminathan; Zanatta, Caroline Bedin; Nunn, Jennifer Ann Lillebo; Hoepers, Aline Martins; Nodari, Rubens Onofre; Agapito-Tenfen, Sarah Zanon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-12)
      CRISPR/Cas9-based ribonucleoprotein (RNP)-mediated system has the property of minimizing the effects related to the unwanted introduction of vector DNA and random integration of recombinant DNA. Here, we describe a platform based on the direct delivery of Cas9 RNPs to soybean protoplasts for genetic screens in knockout gene-edited soybean lines without the transfection of DNA vectors. The platform ...
    • Regulation of atypical MAP kinases ERK3 and ERK4 by the phosphatase DUSP2 

      Perander, Maria; Al-Mahdi, Rania; Jensen, Thomas Clemens; Nunn, Jennifer Ann Lillebo; Kildalsen, Hanne; Johansen, Bjarne Herold; Gabrielsen, Mads; Keyse, Stephen M; Seternes, Ole Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-02)
      The atypical MAP kinases ERK3 and ERK4 are activated by phosphorylation of a serine residue lying within the activation loop signature sequence S-E-G. However, the regulation of ERK3 and ERK4 phosphorylation and activity is poorly understood. Here we report that the inducible nuclear dual-specificity MAP kinase phosphatase (MKP) DUSP2, a known regulator of the ERK and p38 MAPKs, is unique amongst ...
