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 ...
Analyzing interactions between the GV1 Cell Line, Juvenile Hormone, and Juvenile Hormone Binding Protein
(2011)
Insect juvenile hormone (JH) and its hemolymph transport protein, juvenile hormone
binding protein (JHBP) play key roles in the development of many insects. However, the exact mechanism via which JH and JHBP regulates ...
Pleiotropic drug resistance activation via over expression of Zuo1
(2010)
Pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) is the resistance to multiple drugs that occurs by upregulating gene expression of ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters that transport drug out of the cell. Thakur et al. (2008) ...
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 ...
Herbivory defense in Mimulus quttatus (yellow monkeyflower): consequences for generalist and specialist herbivores
(2012)
Plants have undergone strong selection from herbivory, resulting in diverse physical and
chemical defenses. Chemical defenses deter generalist herbivores, but are often tolerated by specialists. Mimulus guttatus (yellow ...
Exploration of the relationship between GRAIL and Cbl-b
(2010)
The E3 ligases GRAIL and Cbl-b are necessary for the induction of CD4+ T cell anergy. Using CD4+ T cells from wildtype (WT) and Cbl-b knockout (Cbl-B -/-) mice, we investigated the relationship between GRAIL and Cbl-b. ...
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 ...
