Crowding and function reunite.

T he insides of cells are crowded. Fig. 1A is a dramatic representation of the fact that macromolecules occupy 30% of the cellular volume, with their concentrations reaching 300 g/L (1). For comparison, the concentration of protein in an egg white is only one third of that value. However, almost everything we know about biological macromolecules in solution comes from data acquired under condit...

compactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops

chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...

Fig. 1: Mpeg-4 Coding Scheme

A programmable processor architecture for MPEG-4 video is proposed, that can serve as a coprocessor module in MPEG-4 decoder systems. It consists of a 64-bit dual-issue VLIW macroblock engine, a separate RISC core for bitstream parsing and system processing, and an autonomous I/O processor. A separate DSP is used for MPEG audio support. The architecture is fully programmable and supports parall...

C-terminal ECFP fusion impairs synaptotagmin 1 function: crowding out synaptotagmin 1.

To allow the monitoring of synaptotagmin 1 trafficking in vivo, we generated transgenic mice expressing a synaptotagmin 1-enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP) fusion protein under control of the Thy1 promoter. Transgenic synaptotagmin 1-ECFP is expressed throughout the brain where it localizes to synapses and marks synapses in vivo. However, when we crossed transgenic synaptotagmin 1-ECFP m...
