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 ...
A study of the regulation of transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli.
(1999)
The focus of this work is to determine the molecular mechanisms involved in rRNA synthesis. More specifically, this research determined which component of the RNAP I transcription complex is involved in the down-regulation ...
Identification and characterization of Myxococcus xanthus mutants deficient in calcofluor white binding.
(1997)
In an attempt to further characterize the Cds phenotypes, it was found that SR171 (a Cds mutant) drastically reduced developmentally regulated tps gene expression similar to esg. Total fatty acid analysis revealed that ...
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 ...
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 ...
Development, analysis and use of an expressed sequence tag database from the multicellular asomycete, Aspergillus nidulans.
(1999)
Since these ESTs are a rich resource of expressed gene sequences useful to the large community of fungal researchers, the resulting EST database was made publicly available by submission to GenBank and placement on the ...
New fusion protein systems statistically designed to avoid inclusion body formation in Escherichia coli.
(1998)
Using human interleukin-3 (hIL-3) as a model heterologous insoluble protein, three gene fusions were constructed that code for a native E. coli protein at the N-terminus and hIL-3 at the C-terminus. The three native E. ...
