The effect of neuropeptides on growth and function of bovine articular chondrocytes
(2007)
Cartilage injury is a central issue in orthopedics to which there is no known physiological treatment. Neuropeptides playa role in the proliferative and reparative processes of many tissue types, but little is known about ...
Stable expression and purification of Juvenile Hormone Binding Protein from Drosophila melanogaster Schneider line-2 cells
(2007)
Studies on the hemolymph Juvenile Hormone Binding Protein (hJHBP) and Juvenile Hormone (JH) interaction have been considerably limited by the availability of pure hJHBP. An expression vector was created by cloning the ...
The Effects of Doa4 and Other Multivesicular-Body Proteins on Brome Mosaic Virus Replication in Yeast
(2008)
Brome Mosaic Virus (BMV) replication was measured in yeast single and double deletion mutants of Doa4 and other proteins in the multivesicular-body (MVB) pathway in order to determine the role of Doa4 and other MVB proteins ...
Cleavage and Polyadenylation Specific Factor 6 (CPSF6): A possible protein mediator for CARM1 and pre-MRNA splicing
(2008)
Coactivated associated methyltransferase 1 (CARM1), an enzyme that regulates cellular processes via arginine methylation, has been suggested to play a role in RNA processing and alternative splicing. The focus of this ...
Identification of two binding partners for the bacterial actin homolog MreB
(2007)
A distinguishing characteristic of prokaryotes was long thought to be the lack of a cytoskeleton similar to eukaryotes consisting of actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. However, recent work has shown ...
Defining the PIPKIgamma707/SNX5 interaction and its possible association with E-cadherin
(2008)
E-cadherin, a cell adhesion molecule and tumor suppressor plays an important role in suppressing metastasis of cancers of epithelial origin by acting as the cornerstone of adherens junctions, which facilitate adhesion ...
Inflammatory response and extracellular matrix turnover following pulsed dyed laser treatment of vocal fold and vocal fold fibroblasts
(2008)
The 585-nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) is commonly utilized for the treatment of vascular and epithelial vocal fold lesions; however there are anecdotal reports that it may improve scar outcomes, perhaps by altering extracellular ...
Submerged macrophytes in Big Spring Creek, WI: Distribution and influence on phosphorus dynamics
(2007)
Submerged macrophytes affect many aspects of lotic ecosystems, including nutrient dynamics. We performed longitudinal vegetation surveys to describe the distribution of macrophytes in Big Spring Creek, Wisconsin. We also ...
Inhibition of the Escherichia coli replication cycle by a mutant RecA protein
(2008)
Abstract: A conserved [K/R]x[K/R] motif is found at the subunit-subunit interface in bacterial RecA protein filaments. In the Escherichia coli RecA protein, this motif is made up of residues K248 and K250. Both of these ...
Identification of the Functional Domains of Arabidopsis FLS2
(2007)
Arabidopsis FLS2 is a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) transmernbrane receptor-kinase that recognizes bacterial flagellin and induces plant innate immune responses. Flg22 is a 22 amino acid peptide based on a sequence of flagellin ...
