Expression, purification, and structural insights for the human uric acid transporter, GLUT9, using the Xenopus laevis oocytes system. by Benjamin Clémençon, Benjamin P Lüscher, Michael Fine, Marc U Baumann, Daniel V Surbek, Olivier Bonny, Matthias A Hediger

“…Here, we describe the surface expression, purification and isolation of monomeric protein, and functional analysis of recombinant hGLUT9 using the Xenopus laevis oocyte system. In addition, we generated a new homology-based high-resolution model of hGLUT9 from the XylE crystal structure and utilized our purified protein to generate a low-resolution single particle reconstruction. …”

Actomyosin-generated tension on cadherin is similar between dividing and non-dividing epithelial cells in early Xenopus laevis embryos by Herbomel, G, Hatte, G, Roul, J, Padilla-Parra, S, Tassan, J, Tramier, M

The response of synthetic 4-hydroxybenzoic acid on kv1.4 potassium channel subunit expressed in xenopus laevis oocytes by Mohamad, Fatin Hilyani

“…In this study, the response of synthetic 4-hydroxybenzoic acid was tested on Kv1.4 potassium channel that was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes as the model system. Kv1.4 is a rapidly inactivating Shaker-related member of the voltage-gated potassium channels with two inactivation mechanisms; the fast N-type and slow C-type. …”

De novo Transcriptome Assemblies of Rana (Lithobates) catesbeiana and Xenopus laevis Tadpole Livers for Comparative Genomics without Reference Genomes. by Inanc Birol, Bahar Behsaz, S Austin Hammond, Erdi Kucuk, Nik Veldhoen, Caren C Helbing

“…In this work we studied the liver transcriptomes of two frog species, the American bullfrog (Rana (Lithobates) catesbeiana) and the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis). We used high throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data to assemble and annotate these transcriptomes, and compared how their baseline expression profiles change when tadpoles of the two species are exposed to thyroid hormone. …”
