Cloning and characterization of the rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) type ii interleukin-1 receptor cdna
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2000-12-01)
A homologue of mammalian type II interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1RII) was isolated from a rainbow trout cDNA library by differential hybridization using a suppression subtractive hybridization generated probe enriched far ...
Phage inhibition, colicin resistance, and tellurite resistance are encoded by a single cluster of genes on the inchi2 plasmid r478.
(American Society for Microbiology, 1995-09-01)
A region of the IncHI2 plasmid R478, encoding the phenotypes of tellurite resistance (Te-r), phage inhibition (Phi), and colicin resistance (PacB), was cloned and sequenced. Analysis indicated seven open reading frames ...
The xylan-degrading enzyme system oftalaromyces emersonii: novel enzymes with activity against arylβ-d-xylosides and unsubstituted xylans
(Portland Press Ltd., 1993-03-01)
Talaromyces emersonii, a thermophilic aerobic fungus, produces a complete xylan-degrading enzyme system when grown on appropriate substrates. In this paper we present the physicochemical and catalytic properties of three ...
Role of listeria monocytogenes b in survival of lethal acidic conditions and in the acquired acid tolerance response
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-05-01)
The food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes can acquire enhanced resistance to lethal acid conditions through multiple mechanisms. We investigated contributions of the stress-responsive alternative sigma factor, or ...
Micrornas as prognostic indicators and therapeutic targets: potential effect on breast cancer management
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2008-01-15)
The discovery of microRNAs (miRNA) as novel modulators of gene expression has resulted in a rapidly expanding repertoire of molecules in this family, as reflected in the concomitant expansion of scientific literature. ...
Evolution of astacin-like metalloproteases in animals and their function in development
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2006-03-01)
Astacin-like metalloproteases are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom but their phylogenetic relationships and ancient functions within the Metazoa are unclear. We have cloned and characterized four astacin-like cDNAs from ...
Development of a cucumis sativus tilling platform for forward and reverse genetics
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-05-16)
Background: Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family that includes more than 800 species. The cucumber genome has been recently sequenced and annotated. Transcriptomics and genome sequencing of many ...
Divergent evolution of the activity and regulation of the glutamate decarboxylase systems in listeria monocytogenes egd-e and 10403s: roles in virulence and acid tolerance
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-11-11)
The glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system has been shown to be important for the survival of Listeria monocytogenes in low pH environments. The bacterium can use this faculty to maintain pH homeostasis under acidic conditions. ...
Evolutionary origins of brassicaceae specific genes in arabidopsis thaliana
(Springer Nature, 2011-02-18)
Background: All sequenced genomes contain a proportion of lineage-specific genes, which exhibit no sequence similarity to any genes outside the lineage. Despite their prevalence, the origins and functions of most lineage ...
Common genetic variants influence human subcortical brain structures
(Springer Nature, 2015-01-21)
The highly complex structure of the human brain is strongly shaped by genetic influences(1). Subcortical brain regions form circuits with cortical areas to coordinate movement(2), learning, memory(3) and motivation(4), and ...
