The synthesis capability of some amino acids is lost during the insect evolution, and hymenopteran parasitoids can make up for these deficiencies by altering free amino acid concentrations in host.
The elongation rate of RNA Polymerase II varies greatly between and along genes, as this enzyme accelerates from stable pausing to rapid elongation within genes, and is influenced by CG-content, exons and chromatin.
The symbiotic relationship between Hydra and Chlorella is driven by metabolic co-dependence and characterized by changes in the photobiont genome in terms of lack of genes essential in free-living algae.
DECR1, a rate-limiting enzyme for polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) β-oxidation, is an androgen-repressed gene in prostate cancer cells that limits oxidative stress to promote cancer cell survival.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) uses ER tubules and specific ER autophagy machinery to prevent toxic, dominant-interfering, disease-causing, mutant proteins from entering the secretory pathway.
Specific localization of KRAS downstream target ARL4C with its novel interacting proteins was the active site of invasion of pancreatic cancer cell and induced metastasis.
