• Genome-wide data (ChIP-seq) enabled identification of cell wall-related and aquaporin genes as targets of tomato ASR1, a drought stress-responsive transcription factor 

      Ricardi, Martiniano María; González, Rodrigo Matías; Silin, Zhong; Dominguez, Pia Guadalupe; Duffy, Tomas; Turjanski, Pablo Guillermo; Salgado Salter, Juan David; Alleva, Karina Edith; Carrari, Fernando; Giovannoni, James J.; Estevez, Jose Manuel; Iusem, Norberto Daniel (BMC, 2014-01)
      Background: Identifying the target genes of transcription factors is important for unraveling regulatory networks in all types of organisms. Our interest was precisely to uncover the spectrum of loci regulated by a widespread ...
    • PIP aquaporin pH sensing is regulated by the length and charge of the C-terminal region 

      Scochera, Florencia; Zerbetto De Palma, Gerardo; Canessa Fortuna, Agustina; Chevriau, Jonathan; Toriano, Roxana; Soto, Gabriela Cynthia; Zeida, Ari; Alleva, Karina Edith (Wiley, 2021-07)
      Plant PIP aquaporins play a central role in controlling plant water status. The current structural model for PIP pH-gating states that the main pH sensor is located in loopD and that all the mobile cytosolic elements ...
    • Retrotransposon and CRISPR/Cas9‑mediated knockout of NOD26 impairs the legume‑rhizobia symbiosis 

      Frare, Romina Alejandra; Stritzler, Margarita; Gomez, Maria Cristina; Tajima, Hiromi; Pascuan, Cecilia Gabriela; López Fernández, María Paula; Bottero, Ana Emilia; Nikel, Pablo I.; Alleva, Karina Edith; Ayub, Nicolás Daniel; Blumwald, Eduardo; Soto, Gabriela Cynthia (Springer, 2022-07)
      The multifunctional channel NOD26, identified and extensively studied (both biochemically and biophysically) in soybean, is a major protein component of the symbiosome membrane. The water and ammonia transport activities ...
