Gene context of Phytolacca

  • Effects of Phytolacca acinosa polysaccharides I with different schedules on its antitumor efficiency in tumor bearing mice and production of IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, TNF, CSF activity in normal mice [19].
  • Phytolacca americana inhibits the high glucose-induced mesangial proliferation via suppressing extracellular matrix accumulation and TGF-beta production [20].
  • Pokeweed antiviral protein II (PAP-II) is a naturally occurring protein isolated from early summer leaves of the pokeweed plant (Phytolacca americana) [21].
  • Finally, the fact that, in contrast to Dm28c and Y, the Cl strain strongly interacted with Triticum vulgaris (WGA) but not with Phytolacca lectin may be due to the presence of N-acetyl neuraminic acid residues on these organisms [22].
  • Amino acid differences among Phytolacca ferredoxins and other higher plant ferredoxins suggest that duplication of the ferredoxin gene occurred after the divergence of Phytolacca from other higher plants and preceded the separation of two species of Phytolacca [23].
