THE ALAN SHEPARD (SHEP) GENE REGULATES NEURONAL REMODELING DURING METAMORPHOSIS
(2014)Peptidergic neurons are a group of neuronal cells that synthesize and secrete peptides to regulate a variety of biological processes. To identify genes controlling the development and function of peptidergic neurons, our ... -
An analysis of the activation of the adipogenic differentiation pathway in the bone marrow stroma by members of the nuclear hormone receptor family.
(1997)The bone marrow stroma is composed of a diverse array of cell types that have unique functions. Of the different types, the adipocyte is the most abundant. It is not clear what purpose adipocytes serve in the bone marrow. ... -
Cell-cell interactions in Myxococcus xanthus.
(2004)Myxococcus xanthus, a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, nonpathogenic soil bacterium has been used as a model organism for many years for research on developmental behavior such as multicellular morphogenesis, signal transduction. ... -
Characterization of clathrin adaptor proteins from cotyledons of developing pea (Pisum sativum L.).
(1998)Procedures have been developed for the dissociation of coat proteins from clathrin-coated vesicles isolated from cotyledons of developing pea, Pisum sativum L. Based on molecular sizing chromatography, immunoreactivity, ... -
Characterization of the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms fundamental to receptor-mediated white blood cell accumulation.
(1998)The recruitment of circulating leukocytes to areas of infection and injury is an important aspect of the immune response process. Leukocytes initially attach to and roll on the activated endothelial cells lining the blood ... -
Chemical Genetics and Molecular Pharmacology of the Oxysterol-Binding Proteins
(2020-07)Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) and the OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) comprise a family of lipid-binding proteins organized into 6 subfamilies in humans. ORP subfamily 1 consists of OSBP and its closest homolog, ORP4. OSBP ... -
Cytosolic delivery of mutant forms of toxin B from Clostridium difficile facilitates characterization of the intracellular activities of large clostridal toxins.
(2002)Clostridia are gram-positive spore-forming organisms responsible for a variety of diseases in both humans and animals Three species of Clostridia- Clostridium difficile, Clostridium sordellii and Clostridium novyi- produce ... -
Sperm cell characteristics in relation to its transport during fertilization in Plumbago zeylanica and Nicotiana tabacum.
(1999)In Plumbago, the sperm cell that normally fertilizes the egg has a higher calculated charge (8.277 x 103 esu/cm 2) compared with the sperm cell that fuses with the central cell (6.120 x 103 esu/cm2). Microelectrophoresis ... -
Studies on the regulation of developmental gene expression and polysaccharide production in Myxococcus xanthus.
(1997)Fibrils, an extracellular appendage, are composed of polysaccharide and protein. Regulation of fibril production in M. xanthus was studied. In wild-type cells, fibril production was induced upon the stationary phase and ... -
Study of the role of the Myxococcus xanthus ESG locus in development and lipid biosynthesis.
(1998)Analysis of the pattern of expression of developmentally regulated genes in the esg mutant background, suggests that E-signaling dependent events of development occur after 3 to 5 hours of development. It has been predicted ...
