1998 journal article

A leucine repeat motif in AbiA is required for resistance of Lactococcus lactis to phages representing three species.

GENE, 212(1), 5–11.

By: P. Dinsmore n, . DJ O'Sullivan & T. Klaenhammer n

author keywords: lactic acid bacteria; phage resistance; leucine zipper; dairy starter cultures
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Amino Acid Substitution; Bacterial Proteins / chemistry; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / physiology; Bacteriophages / pathogenicity; Base Sequence; DNA Primers / genetics; Dairy Products / microbiology; Genes, Bacterial; Lactococcus lactis / genetics; Lactococcus lactis / virology; Leucine / genetics; Molecular Sequence Data; Mutagenesis, Site-Directed; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid; Restriction Mapping; Species Specificity; Virulence
TL;DR: Direct mutagenesis analysis of AbiA indicated that the leucine repeat structure is essential for conferring phage resistance against three species of lactococcal bacteriophages. (via Semantic Scholar)

1997 chapter

Phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in soybeans: The cloning and characterization of genes encoding enzymes of the nucleotide pathway

In M. U. K. J. P. Williams & N. W. Lem (Eds.), Physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology of plant lipids (pp. 110–112).

By: D. Monks n, J. Goode n, P. Dinsmore n & R. Dewey n

Ed(s): M. J. P. Williams & N. Lem

TL;DR: The isolation and characterization of the genes encoding enzymes of this consolidated pathway will accelerate the study of PC biosynthesis in higher plants and help elucidate the processes by which plants regulate the production of this important phospholipid at both the molecular and cellular levels.
