pH as a determinant of cellular growth and contact inhibition.
1) Both the growth rate and the maximum population density of several normal, virus-transformed, and cancer cells were markedly pH-dependent; the optimum varied from pH 6.9 to 7.8. At the optimum pH, some diploid human cells attained population densities comparable to those of cancer or virus-transformed cells. Contact inhibition of growth is facilitated by repeated fluctuations of pH in nonphy...
متن کاملComparative Genomics Reveals Chd1 as a Determinant of Nucleosome Spacing in Vivo
Packaging of genomic DNA into nucleosomes is nearly universally conserved in eukaryotes, and many features of the nucleosome landscape are quite conserved. Nonetheless, quantitative aspects of nucleosome packaging differ between species because, for example, the average length of linker DNA between nucleosomes can differ significantly even between closely related species. We recently showed tha...
متن کاملInequality as a Determinant of Comparative Advantage
This paper investigates the link between domestic income inequality and international trade using a dynamic model of occupational choice. After showing how systematic patterns of comparative advantage arise among countries with no di®erences in their economic fundamentals, I provide two results regarding trade liberalization describing the full transition dynamics. First, international income d...
متن کاملComparative Genomics of Ralstonia solanacearum Identifies Candidate Genes Associated with Cool Virulence
Strains of the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex in the phylotype IIB group are capable of causing Bacterial Wilt disease in potato and tomato at temperatures lower than 24°C. The capability of these strains to survive and to incite infection at temperatures colder than their normally tropical boundaries represents a threat to United States agriculture in temperate regions. In this work, w...
متن کاملComparative genomics identifies male accessory gland proteins
Accessory gland proteins (ACPs) are important reproductive proteins produced by the male accessory glands (MAGs) of most insect species. These proteins are essential for male insect fertility, and are transferred alongside semen to females during copulation. ACPs are poorly characterized in species Glossina (tsetse fly), the principal vector of the parasite that causes life-threatening Human ...
