Structure of the unique SEFIR domain from human interleukin 17 receptor A reveals a composite ligand-binding site containing a conserved a-helix for Act1 binding and IL-17 signaling
(International Union of Crystallography, 2014)
Interleukin 17 (IL-17) cytokines play a crucial role in mediating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. A unique intracellular signaling domain termed SEFIR is found within all IL-17 receptors (IL-17Rs) as well as the key ...
Risk assessment of flavivirus transmission in Namibia
(Elsevier BV, 2014-05-25)
The role of arboviruses causing acute febrile illness in sub-Saharan Africa is receiving more attention. Reports of dengue in tourists were published nearly 10 years ago in Namibia, but the current epidemiology of arboviruses ...
Gene transfers shaped the evolution of de novo NAD+ biosynthesis in eukaryotes
(Oxford University Press, 2014-08-27)
NAD+ is an essential molecule for life, present in each living cell. It can function as an electron carrier or cofactor in redox biochemistry and energetics, and serves as substrate to generate the secondary messenger ...
Arhodomonas sp. strain Seminole and its genetic potential to degrade aromatic compounds under high-salinity conditions
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014-11)
Arhodomonas sp. strain Seminole was isolated from a crude oil-impacted brine soil and shown to degrade benzene, toluene, phenol, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), protocatechuic acid (PCA), and phenylacetic acid (PAA) as the ...
BLACK ICE DETECTION AND ROAD CLOSURE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR OKLAHOMA (FHWA-OK-14-01 2239)
(2014-10)
Black ice is a thin coating of glazed ice on roadways or other transportation surfaces. Black ice has identical appearance with black pavement and wet road, and it often forms during calm weather. It is highly transparent ...
Spectral induced polarization (SIP) response of biodegraded oil in porous media
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of different oil saturation (0.2–0.8), wetting conditions (water-wet and oil-wet), and the addition of asphaltene on the spectral induced polarization (SIP) ...
Clarifying anti-reflexivity: Conservative opposition to impact science and scientific evidence
(IOP Publishing, 2014-02-27)
The recent study reported by McCright et al (2013 Environ. Res. Lett. 8 044029) extends current research on conservatives' distrust of science by distinguishing between public trust in production versus impact scientists ...
Iron Range English reflexive pronouns
(Oxford University Press, 2014-07)
This chapter offers new data from a Magnitude Estimation acceptability task that show that Iron Range English (IRE), which is spoken in the Arrowhead region of Minnesota, has long-distance reflexives. IRE reflexives (e.g., ...
