Abstract:
Member of the ZIP(ZRT and IRT-like protein) gene family belongs to metal transporter super family, they were firstly identified in plants, and then were found at all phylogenetic levels. They are capable of transporting a variety of cations, including cadmium, iron, zinc and manganese. These founding are very important for us to understand the metal deficiency or over accumulation at molecular level. The structure and functions of the novel metal transporter family, ZIP family, found in Arabidopsis recent years will be reviewed in this paper.

RNA Structure
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
Different Types of RNA Have the Same Basic Structure
There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA): messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All three RNA types consist of a...

Rab Proteins
Rab proteins switch between a cytosolic, GDP-bound inactive state and a membrane-anchored, GTP-bound active state. By themselves, Rabs show slow rates of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. Thus, Rab proteins are considered...
Protein Modifications in the RER
Broadly, these modifications can be categorized into four main categories — glycosylation, formation of disulfide bonds, assembly of protein subunits, and specific proteolytic cleavages like removal of signal sequences.
