Discovery, purification and characterization of antifungal proteins and other defense-related compounds from tropical plants.
(1999)
To date, we have screened 164 extracts from over 100 different plant species for antifungal activity against Fusarium chlamydosporum, a saprophytic/pathogenic fungus. Out of these 164 crude extracts, 111 had antifungal ...
Sequence and analysis of approximately 0.5 mega-basepair of the DiGeorge Syndrome Critical Region in human chromosome 22 band q11 and a syntenic mouse BAC.
(1997)
From the data collected, part of the genomic sequence of the human clathrin heavy chain like gene (CLTCL), entire genomic sequence of the human homolog of yeast repressors of histone gene transcription HIR1 and HIR2 (HIRA), ...
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. ...
Part I. Kinetic studies of the complexation reactions of nickel(II) with hydroxamic acids in aqueous medium. Part II. Kinetic studies of the formation and dissociation reactions of ionomycin and 2,6-dimethylheptane-3,5-dione with nickel(II) and magnesium(II) in 80 percent methanol-water medium.
(1997)
The second part of the study involved the reactions of nickel(II) and magnesium(II), with the ionophore ionomycin and the model compound 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-heptanedione (DMHD). A detailed analysis of the kinetic data for ...
Purification, characterization and cDNA cloning of a trypsin inhibitor from Pentaclethra macroloba.
(1998)
The larval growth of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis , was reduced when grown on artificial diet containing either purified PmTI or PmSTI fusion protein expressed in E. coli. Likewise, high mortalities were ...
Investigation into the in vivo metabolism of glutathionyl conjugates of dopamine and norepinephrine: Possible insights into neurodegenerative diseases.
(1997)
The in vitro and in vivo hydrolyses of 5-S-Glu-NE were investigated in rat brain homogenates and by intracerebroventricular (icv) administration in rat brains. Under in vitro conditions, 5-S-Glu-NE was hydrolyzed to give ...
Molecular interactions in RNA polymerase II and III transcription systems.
(1998)
The highly conserved C-terminal region of Xenopus TFIIIA was used in a yeast 2-hybrid screen to identify proteins that interact with this domain. This screen yielded a protein that interacts with Xenopus TFIIIA in yeast ...
Ferric enterobactin transport through FepA in Escherichia coli: From hydrophobic stacking to charge interactions.
(1999)
The site-directed alanine substitution studies revealed that three aromatic residues in the central region of FepA, Y260, Y272, and F329, are involved in the binding and transport of ferric enterobactin. A significant ...
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 ...
Conformational dynamics and structure of FepA, a ligand-gated channel in the bacterial outer membrane.
(1998)
Since Waring & Werkman documented a microbial requirement for iron in 1944, much progress has been made in understanding how microbes assimilate this mundane but biological precious metal. The proteins involved in iron ...
